英国文化（中英对照）
CHAPTER 5 BRITISH CULTUREI . IntroductionThe people of Great Britain include the English, Irish, Scots and Welsh. After Southern Ireland became an independent republic in 1948, the United Kingdom included Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales. There are many differences among the ways these people live, depending on their geographic location and national traits. However, this introduction to contemporary middle-class culture will focus on the similarities shared by the British people.第五章英国文化一、导言大不列颠民族包括英格兰人，爱尔兰人，苏格兰人和威尔士人。
1948年，南爱尔兰成为一个独立的爱尔兰共和国后，英国只包括北爱尔兰，英格兰，苏格兰和威尔士四个部分。
这些地方的人们生活方式存在许多差异，这些差异取决于其所处的地理位置和民族特性。
不过，本章着重介绍的是当代英国中产阶级在文化方面的相似之处。
II. The British People—General T raitsBy the end of the 20th century nearly 59, 000, 000 people lived in the United Kingdom. Generally, they tend to be a very reserved people. Since they are not immediately friendly and open with strangers, they seem to be difficult to get to know. They are not the kind of people to embrace friends with open arms and are offended by body contact, such as kissing and hugging, when meeting others. At an early age, children are taught to control their feelings and keep a "stiff upper lip". Although this behavior is often perceived to be aloof, it is just a national trait.二、不列颠民族——总体特征到20世纪末，英国有将近五千九百万人。

Hyde
Park is one of the greatest city parks in the world. Covering 142 hectares (350 acres) and with over 400 trees, a large lake, a meadow and ornamental flower gardens, there’s a good chance you’ll forget you are right in the middle of London. Hyde Park is home to the Diana Memorial Fountain.
No other area of Britain is as rich in history, tradition, and cultural associations as London. Throughout the capital there are great mansions, venerable old buildings, quaint houses, unrivalled collections of art treasures, tremendous sweeps of glorious parkland and colorful ceremonies to suit every possible taste and mood. History is from there and ,of course, it is worthwhile visiting London.

Chapter 1 American History (1)The "first American "were the Indians. The first English colony in the Americas was founded at Jamestown, Virginaia, in 1607.Between 1607 and 1733 the British established 13 colonies along the east coast of North American.“最早的美国人”是印地安人，英国于1607年在美国建立了第一块殖民地，即在弗吉尼亚的詹姆斯，1607-1733年间，英国在北美洲的东海岸建立了十三个殖民地。
In 1620,201 of Pilgrims sailed to the New World in a ship called Mayflower. They arrived at Plymouth and built the Plymouth colony.1620年，有201名英国清教徒乘坐一名为”五月花号“的船到达了普利茅斯并建立了殖民地。
From 1630 to 1643,some 200 ships transported over 20000 Englishmen to the Massachusetts Bay colony.从1630-1643年，约有200艘船把2万英国人抵马萨者萨弯殖民地。
The colonists were building a new way of life in the New World. There were a number of features, which would play a role in forming the American character. They were :representative from of government, rule of law, respect of individual rights, religious tolerance and a strong spirit of individual enterprise.殖民主义者新生活方式的这些特点在美国人性格形成中发挥了重要作用：建立代义制政府，法治，对个人权利的尊重，宗教上的宽容及强烈的个人进取心。

England
England is a highly urbanized country, with 80% of its population living in cities, and only 2% of the population working in agriculture. England is the largest of the four nations, and it has by far the largest population. This domination in size is reflected in a cultural and economic dominance too, which has the result that people in foreign countries sometimes make the mistake of talking about England when they mean the UK. Significantly, people in England sometimes make that mistake too, but people in the other three nations would not: they might call themselves British, or they might call themselves Scottish or Welsh or Irish, but they certainly wouldn’t call themselves English. So of the four nations, the English feel most British.
