CHAPTER ONELAND AND PEOPLEDifferent Names for Britain and its PartsWhen people refer to Britain, they often use different names such as Britain, Great Britain, England, the British Isles, the United Kingdom or the U. K. Do they mean the same thing?当人们提及英国时,常用不同的名称,如不列颠、英格兰、不列颠群岛、联合王国,以及缩写的U.K…这些不同的称呼是不是指向相同的事物?Strictly speaking, the British Isles, Great Britain and England are all geographical names. They are not the official name of the country. The British Isles are made up of the two large islands—Great Britain and Ireland and hundreds of small ones. The two large islands are Great Britain and Ireland. Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of the two islands. It forms the United Kingdom with Northern Ireland——the northern part of Ireland. So the official name of the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But it is too much of a mouthful to say such a long name for a country, so people just say Britain, the United Kingdom or simply U. K. This is one country on the British Isles and its capital is London. There is another country called the Republic of Ireland or Eire on the British Isles. It takes up the reminder of Ireland——the southern part of Ireland. It has been an independent republic since 1949 and its capital is Dublin.严格地说,不列颠群岛、大不列颠群岛和英格兰都是地理名称。

英语国家概况翻译Unit 1 A Brief Introduction to The United Kingdom 我们正在研究的这个国家的全称是大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。

这也是一个复杂的名字,对于一个在许多方面都很复杂的国家。

大多数人都知道它,是因为它的庞大的海外帝国的称号使他在国家上扮演着重要的角色,但是在第二次世界大战之后的数年,这一切都结束了。

然而,人们知道的那些有关英国(他们可能称它为大不列颠)的事情,可能跟大多数真正的英国人是如果过自英国或者,错误的称为己的生活的事情没有多大的联系。

一方面,现在,帝国的时代已经过去很久了,只有老人们把帝国作为他们生活有一些意义的一件事留在记忆里。

英国不再是一个帝国,尽管其过去帝国的影响可能体现在各方各面;而不是仅仅体现在与曾经是这个帝国的一部分并且建立起一个松散(自愿)的称之为英联邦国家的组织保持联系的50或更多的国家之间的密切关系。

但是今天在英国国际关系中,更重要的是欧洲联盟。

自从1973年始,英国成为了它的成员。

考虑到当代的英国,强调它在欧盟中扮演的角色,比起英联邦的一部分,要有用得多了。

作为7国集团成员的大型发达经济体,它仍然是一个相对富裕的国家。

另外一个明显旧帝国的影响在于组成英国人口本身。

在20世纪50年代和60年代这段时间,受到鼓励来自这些英联邦国家的移民,导致了一个二十个人中就有一个非欧洲人的人口种族。

他们自己,其父母,或者祖父母,出生在印度或巴基斯坦,加勒比国家,仅举出这几个最有代表性的国家和地区。

这将引入什么是本章节关于英国的关键主题:因为是大多数,或所有的国家,是不可能用简单的话语来概括英国人民。

很多人想到了英国,就想到了英国的绅士。

但是,这仅仅是一种刻板印象,在当今,对于绝大多数英国人来说都是不适用的,而且并不具有正确性。

英国是一个国家,只有一种护照,和一个拥有主权的政府,但是像它的名字一样,它是由不同的元素组成的。

它包括一个单一民族国家内的四个部分:由大不列颠岛组成的英格兰,苏格兰,威尔士,和与大不列颠岛邻近的爱尔兰岛上的一个省,北爱尔兰,组成一个完整的国家。

英语国家概况A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIESPart One The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland第一部分大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国第一章国土与人民Chapter 1 Land and PeopleⅠ.英国的不同名称及其区域1. Different Names for Britain and its Parts人们说到英国时常常使用不同的名称:不列颠、大不列颠、英格兰、不列颠群岛、联合王国等。

这些名称一样吗?还是有所区别? When people refer to Britain, they often use different names such as Britain, Great Britain, England, the British Isles, the United Kingdom or the U.K. Do they mean the same thing? Or are they different?严格地讲,不列颠诸岛、大不列颠和英格兰都是地理名称。

它们并不是这个国家的正式名称。

不列颠诸岛是由两个大岛和几百个小岛组成的。

两个大岛是不列颠岛和爱尔兰岛,其中不列颠岛较大,它与爱尔兰岛的北部一北爱尔兰构成联合王国。

因此,联合王国的正式国名是大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。

但一口气说出这么长的国名太费事,因此,人们就说不列颠,联合王国或简单地说UK。

这是不列颠岛上的一个国家,首都是伦敦。

另外还有一个国家,叫爱尔兰共和国或称爱尔兰,也位于不列颠岛上。

它占据了爱尔兰岛的其余部分,在岛的南部。

1949 年始爱尔兰独立,首都是都柏林。

Strictly speaking, the British Isles,Great Britain and England are all geographical names. They are not the official name of the country. The British Isles are made up of two large islands and hundreds of small ones. The two large islands are Great Britain andIreland. Great Britain is the larger of these two islands. It forms the United Kingdom with Northern Ireland—the northern part of Ireland. So the official name of the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But it is too much of a mouthful to say such a long name for a country, so people just say Britain, the United Kingdom or simply U.K. This is one country on the British Isles and its capital is London.

CHAPTER ONELAND AND PEOPLEWhen people refer to Britain, they often use different names such as Britain, Great Britain, England, the British Isles, the United Kingdom or the U. K. Do they mean the same thing?当人们提及英国时,常用不同的名称,如不列颠、英格兰、不列颠群岛、联合王国,以及缩写的U.K…这些不同的称呼是不是指向相同的事物?is one country on the British Isles and its capital is London. There is another country called the Republic of Ireland or Eire on the British Isles. It takes up the reminder of Ireland——the southern part of Ireland. It has been an independent republic since 1949 and its capital is Dublin.严格地说,不列颠群岛、大不列颠群岛和英格兰都是地理名称。

它们并不是这个国家的官方名称。

英伦群岛由两个大点的岛屿大不列颠和爱尔兰及上百个小岛屿组成。

两个大岛是大不列颠和爱尔兰群岛。

不列颠或称大不列颠是这两个岛屿中较大的那一个。

它与爱尔兰岛的北部——北爱尔兰——组成联合王国。

因此,联合王国的正式名称叫大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。

但是一口气说出这样长的一个国家的名称太拗口,因此人们只说不列颠、联合王国,或者更简单地称U.K…它是大不列颠群岛上的一个国家,首都是伦敦。

岛上还有另外一个叫做爱尔兰共和国或称爱尔兰的国家。
