英语国家概况(汉英对照)

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, GreatBritain， England, the British Isles, the United Kingdom or the U.K. Do they mean the same thing？ Or are theydifferent？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。

worshipped. Driving the snakes from Ireland was probably symbolic of putting an end to that pagan practice. While not the first to bring christianity to Ireland, it is Patrick who is said to have encountered the Druids德鲁伊特（古凯尔特人信奉的祭司、巫师或占卜者）at Tara塔拉（爱尔兰共和国米斯郡的一座小山，早先是爱尔兰国王们的居住区，现在那里仍然有很多古代的土木工程）and abolished their pagan rites. The story holds that he converted the warrior chiefs and princes, baptizing them and thousands of their subjects国民，臣民，臣服者in the "Holy Wells" that still bear this name. There are several accounts of Saint Patrick's death. One says that Patrick died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, on March 17, 460 A.D. Another account says that St. Patrick ended his days at Glastonbury, England and was buried there. The Chapel of St. Patrick still exists as part of Glastonbury Abbey修道院. Today, many Catholic places of worship all around the world are named after St. Patrick, including cathedrals in NewYork and Dublin city.

A Brief Introduction to the University_1500字Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a friend who will come to your city to see you. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:假设你是李明, 你的一个朋友张伟准备到你所在的城市来旅游，但你有事不能接待。

写封信给他，解释你不能接待的原因，并说明你所做的安排。

A Letter to a FriendDear Zhang Wei,I’m glad to know that you are coming to my city during the summer vacation.However, I’m afraid there’s some bad news. I’m planning to take part in an international conference to be held in another city during the time of your visit. All the top scientists in my field will show up at the conference. More importantly, I’m lucky enough to have been selected to give a speech on behalf of my research team at the Conference. I really can’t miss it.I understand that it’ll be your first time to this city and I’m your only friend here. I’ve asked my roommate to meet you at the airport, and you can stay in my room. He is a very nice person and he will show you around the city. Hope you two will get on well and have a nice holiday!Yours,Li Ming点评：本预测题与2001年6月考查的A Letter to a Schoolmate 类似，所不同是写作提示有所不同，2001年6月作文题是写信对校友来度假表示欢迎并在信中提出建议和注意事项，而本预测题是对朋友来访不能接待，同时在信中说明原因及具体安排，内容不一，但话题相仿，写作思路相似，值得关注。

A brief introduction to the United Kingdom

A brief introduction to the United KingdomThe full name of the country we are studying is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.It is a complicated country.Most people know something about it because its huge overseas empire gave it an important international role which only came to an end in the years following the Second World War.However, the things that people know about the UK(which they will probably call simply Britain or,wrongly,England)may have little to do with how most real British people live their lives today.For one thing,the days of empire are now long enough ago that only old people remember it as anything of any importance in their lives. Britain is no longer an imperial country, though the effects of its imperial past may be often encountered in all sorts of ways;not least in the close relationships which exist with the fifty or more countries which used to be a part of that empire,and which maintain links through a loose(and voluntary) organisation called the Commonwealth of Nations,of which the UK has been a member since 1973,and it is more useful when considering modern Britain to emphasise its role as a European nation,rather than its membership of the Commonwealth.It remains a relatively wealthy country ,a member of the Group of Seven large developed economies.One other obvious effect of that old imperial role lies in the make-up of the British poplation itself.Immigration from some of those Commonwealth countries,which was encouraged in 1950s and 1960s,has produced a population of which 1 in 20 are of non-European ethnicity.They themselves ,or their parents or grandparents,were born in India or Pakistan,the countries of the Caribbean,to name only the most common.This introduces what is the key theme of the chapters about the United Kingdom:asis the case for most,or all,countries,it is not possible to sum up the British people with a few simple phrases.Many people who think of Britain think of the English gentleman.But this is just a stereotype which never applie d to the majority of the British people,and really has little validity today.The UK is one nation,with a single passport,and a single government having sovereignty over it all,but as the full name of the nation suggests,it is made up of different elements.It includes 4parts:the island of Great Britain is made up of England,Scotland and Wales,and Northern Ireland,a province on the neighbouring island of Ireland,completes the set.So when discussing Britain and British some consideration has to be made of these differences:for example a woman from Scotland would not be pleased if we were to call her an"English gentleman"! She is Scottish and female,and sees her identity as different from that of men and separate from the English.But this distinction between the 4 constituent parts is only one,and perhaps the simplest,of the differences which divide the United Kingdom.It has been already pointed out that the UK is now a multiracial society,and these quite recent groups of immigrants have brought aspects of their own cultures with them which sit side by side with more traditionally British ways of life,for example,many are Muslims,while most British people(in name at least)are Christians,And clearly involved in the aboveexample of the Scottish woman is the fact that men and women do not have the same experience of life in Britain .Also Britain is divided economically:it is a society with a class-structure.It is possible to exaggerate the important of this class-system,but it is true to say that the class structure of UK society is relatively obvious.The culture of a factory worker whose father was a factory worker may be quite different from that of a stockbroker whose father was a stockbroker:they will tend to read different newspapers,watch different television programs,speak with a different accent,do different things in their free-time,and have different expectations for their children.Another difference which marks British society is that of region.Even within each of the four countries there are different regions:the difference between the "highland"and"lowland"Scots has a long historical significance,for example:north and south England are also considered tobe culturally distinct,though the boundary between them is not marked on any map,and exists only as a rather unclear mental attitude.Neverthless,there is some basis to the distinction in economic terms as the south is on the average wealthier than the both.Part of the reason for that economic difference between north and south is found in the societies but is perhaps particularly obvious in the UK,that is,the difference between the capital and the provinces.London is in the south of the country ,and is dominant in the United Kingdom in all sorts of ways.It is by far the largest city in the country,with about one seventh of the nation's population;it is the seat of government,it is the cultural center,home to all the major newspapers,TV station ,and with far and away the widest selection of galleries,theatres and museums.Also it is the business center,headquarters of the vast majority of Britain's big companies;it is the financial center of the nation,and one of the three major international financial centers in the world.As such it combines the functions of Beijing,Shanghai,and Guangzhou,or New York,Washington and Los Angles,in one city .And given its long-standing historical role in the UK,perhaps Xi'an too!London is a huge weight in Britain's economic and cultural life,and to some extent the rest of the country lives in its shadow.ENGLANDPOPULATION:51.44 millionAREA:130423km2England is a highly urbanised country,with 80%of its population living in cities,and only 2% of the population working in agriculture.Its largest city is the capital,London,which is dominant in the UK in all fields:government,finance,and culture.England is physically the largest of the four nations,and it has by far the largest population.This dominance 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 mistakes too,but people in the other three nations not :they might call themselves British(as might the English),or they might call themselves Scottish or Welsh or Irish,but they certainly wouldn't call themselves (or like to be called)English.So oddly,of the four nations,the English feel more British,and therefore have the weakest sense of themselves as a separate"English"culture with Britain.。
