SONNET #1 by: William Shakespeare FROM fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty's rose might never die, But as the riper should by time decease, His tender heir might bear his memory; But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel. Thout that are now the world's fresh ornament And only herald to the gaudy spring, Within thine own bud buriest thy content And, tender churl, mak'st waste in niggarding. Pity the world, or else this glutton be, To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.
RURAL LIFE IN ENGLAND 英国的乡村生活
RURAL LIFE IN ENGLANDby Washington IrvingTHE stranger who would form a correct opinion of the English character, must not confine his observations to the metropolis. He must go forth into the country; he must sojourn in villages and hamlets; he must visit castles, villas, farm-houses, cottages; he must wander through parks and gardens; along hedges and green lanes; he must loiter about country churches; attend wakes and fairs, and other rural festivals; and cope with the people in all their conditions, and all their habits and humors.In some countries, the large cities absorb the wealth and fashion of the nation; they are the only fixed abodes of elegant and intelligent society, and the country is inhabited almost entirely by boorish peasantry. In England, on the contrary, the metropolis is a mere gathering-place, or general rendezvous, of the polite classes, where they devote a small portion of the year to a hurry of gayety and dissipation, and, having indulged this kind of carnival, return again to the apparently more congenial habits of rural life. The various orders of society are therefore diffused over the whole surface of the kingdom, and the more retired neighborhoods afford specimens of the different ranks.The English, in fact, are strongly gifted with the rural feeling. They possess a quick sensibility to the beauties of nature, and a keen relish for the pleasures and employments of the country. This passion seems inherent in them. Even the inhabitants of cities, born and brought up among brick walls and bustling streets, enter with facility into rural habits, and evince a tact for rural occupation. The merchant has his snug retreat in the vicinity of the metropolis, where he often displays as much pride and zeal in the cultivation of his flower-garden, and the maturing of his fruits, as he does in the conduct of his business, and the success of a commercial enterprise. Even those less fortunate individuals, who are doomed to pass their lives in the midst of din and traffic, contrive to have something that shall remind them of the green aspect of nature. In the most dark and dingy quarters of the city, the drawing-room window resembles frequently a bank of flowers; every spot capable of vegetation has its grass-plot and flower-bed; and every square its mimic park, laid out with picturesque taste, and gleaming with refreshing verdure.Those who see the Englishman only in town, are apt to form an unfavorable opinion of his social character. He is either absorbed in business, or distracted by the thousand engagements that dissipate time, thought, and feeling, in this huge metropolis. He has, therefore, too commonly, a look of hurry and abstraction. Wherever he happens to be, he is on the point of going somewhere else; at the moment he is talking on one subject, his mind is wandering to another; and while paying a friendly visit, he is calculating how he shall economize time so as to pay the other visits allotted to the morning. An immense metropolis, like London, is calculated to make men selfish and uninteresting. In their casual and transient meetings, they can but deal briefly in commonplaces. They present but the cold superfices of character--its rich and genial qualities have no time to be warmed into a flow.It is in the country that the Englishman gives scope to his natural feelings. He breaks loose gladly from the cold formalities and negative civilities of town; throws off his habits of shy reserve, and becomes joyous and free-hearted. He manages to collect round him all the conveniences and elegancies of polite life, and to banish its restraints. His country-seat abounds with every requisite, either for studious retirement, tasteful gratification, or rural exercise. Books, paintings, music, horses, dogs, and sporting implements of all kinds, are at hand. He puts no constraint, either upon his guests or himself, but, in the true spirit of hospitality, provides the means of enjoyment, and leaves every one to partake according to his inclination.The taste of the English in the cultivation of land, and in what is called landscape gardening, is unrivalled.They have studied Nature intently, and discovered an exquisite sense of her beautiful forms and harmonious combinations. Those charms which, in other countries, she lavishes in wild solitudes, are here assembled round the haunts of domestic life. They seem to have caught her coy and furtive graces, and spread them, like witchery, about their rural abodes.Nothing can be more imposing than the magnificence of English park scenery. Vast lawns that extend like sheets of vivid green, with here and there clumps of gigantic trees, heaping up rich piles of foliage. The solemn pomp of groves and woodland glades, with the deer trooping in silent herds across them; the hare, bounding away to the covert; or the pheasant, suddenly bursting upon the wing. The brook, taught to wind in natural meanderings, or expand into a glassy lake--the sequestered pool, reflecting the quivering trees, with the yellow leaf sleeping on its bosom, and the trout roaming fearlessly about its limpid waters; while some rustic temple, or sylvan statue, grown green and dank with age, gives an air of classic sanctity to the seclusion.These are but a few of the features of park scenery; but what most delights me, is the creative talent with which the English decorate the unostentatious abodes of middle life. The rudest habitation, the most unpromising and scanty portion of land, in the hands of an Englishman of taste, becomes a little paradise. With a nicely discriminating eye, he seizes at once upon its capabilities, and pictures in his mind the future landscape. The sterile spot grows into loveliness under his hand; and yet the operations of art which produce the effect are scarcely to be perceived. The cherishing and training of some trees; the cautious pruning of others; the nice distribution of flowers and plants of tender and graceful foliage; the introduction of a green slope of velvet turf; the partial opening to a peep of blue distance, or silver gleam of water;-all these are managed with a delicate tact, a pervading yet quiet assiduity, like the magic touchings with which a painter finishes up a favorite picture.The residence of people of fortune and refinement in the country, has diffused a degree of taste and elegance in rural economy that descends to the lowest class. The very laborer, with his thatched cottage and narrow slip of ground, attends to their embellishment. The trim hedge, the grass-plot before the door, the little flower-bed bordered with snug box, the woodbine trained up against the wall, and hanging its blossoms about the lattice; the pot of flowers in the window; the holly, providently planted about the house, to cheat winter of its dreariness, and to throw in a semblance of green summer to cheer the fireside; all these bespeak the influence of taste, flowing down from high sources, and pervading the lowest levels of the public mind. If ever Love, as poets sing, delights to visit a cottage, it must be the cottage of an English peasant.The fondness for rural life among the higher classes of the English has had a great and salutary effect upon the national character. I do not know a finer race of men than the English gentlemen. Instead of the softness and effeminacy which characterize the men of rank in most countries, they exhibit a union of elegance and strength, a robustness of frame and freshness of complexion, which I am inclined to attribute to their living so much in the open air, and pursuing so eagerly the invigorating recreations of the country. The hardy exercises produce also a healthful tone of mind and spirits, and a manliness and simplicity of manners, which even the follies and dissipations of the town cannot easily pervert, and can never entirely destroy. In the country, too, the different orders of society seem to approach more freely, to be more disposed to blend and operate favorably upon each other. The distinctions between them do not appear to be so marked and impassable as in the cities. The manner in which property has been distributed into small estates and farms has established a regular gradation from the noblemen, through the classes of gentry, small landed proprietors, and substantial farmers, down to the laboring peasantry;and while it has thus banded the extremes of society together, has infused into each intermediate rank a spirit of independence. This, it must be confessed, is not so universally the case at present as it was formerly; the larger estates having, in late years of distress, absorbed the smaller, and, in some parts of the country, almost annihilated the sturdy race of small farmers. These, however, I believe, are but casual breaks in the general system I have mentioned.In rural occupation, there is nothing mean and debasing. It leads a, man forth among scenes of natural grandeur and beauty; it leaves him to the workings of his own mind, operated upon by the purest and most elevating of external influences. Such a man may be simple and rough, but he cannot be vulgar. The man of refinement, therefore, finds nothing revolting in an intercourse with the lower orders in rural life, as he does when he casually mingles with the lower orders of cities. He lays aside his distance and reserve, and is glad to waive the distinctions of rank, and to enter into the honest, heartfelt enjoyments of common life. Indeed, the very amusements of the country bring, men more and more together; and the sound hound and horn blend all feelings into harmony. I believe this is one great reason why the nobility and gentry are more popular among the inferior orders in England than they are in any other country; and why the latter have endured so many excessive pressures and extremities, without repining more generally at the unequal distribution of fortune and privilege.To this mingling of cultivated and rustic society may also be attributed the rural feeling that runs through British literature; the frequent use of illustrations from rural life; those incomparable descriptions of Nature, that abound in the British poets--that have continued down from "The Flower and the Leaf," of Chaucer, and have brought into our closets all the freshness and fragrance of the dewy landscape. The pastoral writers of other countries appear as if they had paid Nature an occasional visit, and become acquainted with her general charms; but the British poets have lived and revelled with her--they have wooed her in her most secret haunts--they have watched her minutest caprices. A spray could not tremble in the breeze--a leaf could not rustle to the ground--a diamond drop could not patter in the stream--a fragrance could not exhale from the humble violet, nor a daisy unfold its crimson tints to the morning, but it has been noticed by these impassioned and delicate observers, and wrought up into some beautiful morality.The effect of this devotion of elegant minds to rural occupations has been wonderful on the face of the country. A great part of the island is rather level, and would be monotonous, were it not for the charms of culture; but it is studded and gemmed, as it were, with castles and palaces, and embroidered with parks and gardens. It does not abound in grand and sublime prospects, but rather in little home scenes of rural repose and sheltered quiet. Every antique farm-house and moss-grown cottage is a picture; and as the roads are continually winding, and the view is shut in by groves and hedges, the eye is delighted by a continual succession of small landscapes of captivating loveliness.The great charm, however, of English scenery, is the moral feeling that seems to pervade it. It is associated in the mind with ideas of order, of quiet, of sober well-established principles, of hoary usage and reverend custom. Every thing seems to be the growth of ages of regular and peaceful existence. The old church of remote architecture, with its low, massive portal; its Gothic tower; its windows rich with tracery and painted glass, in scrupulous preservation; its stately monuments of warriors and worthies of the olden time, ancestors of the present lords of the soil; its tombstones, recording successive generations of sturdy yeomanry, whose progeny still plough the same fields, and kneel at the same altar;--the parsonage, a quaint irregular pile, partly antiquated, but repaired and altered in the tastes of various ages and occupants;--the stile and foot-path leading from the churchyard, across pleasant fields, and along shadyhedgerows, according to an immemorial right of way;--the neighboring village, with its venerable cottages, its public green sheltered by trees, under which the forefathers of the present race have sported;--the antique family mansion, standing apart in some little rural domain, but looking down with a protecting air on the surrounding scene; all these common features of English landscape evince a calm and settled security, a hereditary transmission of homebred virtues and local attachments, that speak deeply and touchingly for the moral character of the nation.It is a pleasing sight, of a Sunday morning, when the bell is sending its sober melody across the quiet fields, to behold the peasantry in their best finery, with ruddy faces, and modest cheerfulness, thronging tranquilly along the green lanes to church; but it is still more pleasing to see them in the evenings, gathering about their cottage doors, and appearing to exult in the humble comforts and embellishments which their own hands have spread around them.It is this sweet home-feeling, this settled repose of affection in the domestic scene, that is, after all, the parent of the steadiest virtues and purest enjoyments; and I cannot close these desultory remarks better, than by quoting the words of a modern English poet, who has depicted it with remarkable felicity:Through each gradation, from the castled hall,The city dome, the villa crowned with shade,But chief from modest mansions numberless,In town or hamlet, shelt'ring middle life,Down to the cottaged vale, and straw-roof'd shed;This western isle has long been famed for scenesWhere bliss domestic finds a dwelling-place;Domestic bliss, that, like a harmless dove,(Honor and sweet endearment keeping guard,)Can centre in a little quiet nestAll that desire would fly for through the earth;That can, the world eluding, be itselfA world enjoyed; that wants no witnessesBut its own sharers, and approving Heaven;That, like a flower deep hid in rock cleft,Smiles, though 't is looking only at the sky.*From a poem on the death of the Princess Charlotte, by the Reverend Rann Kennedy, A.M.。
Town+and+Country+Life+in+England
1 Town and Country Life in EnglandThere is a big difference between town life and country life in England. In the country, everybody knows everybody else. They know what time you get up, what time you go to bed and what you have for dinner. If you want help, you will always get it and you will be glad to help others.In a large town like London, however, it can sometimes happen that you have never seen your next door neighbor and you do not know his name or anything about him. People in London are often very lonely. This is because people go to different places in the evenings and at weekends. If you walk through the streets in the centre of London on Sunday, it is like a town without people. One is sorry for old people living on their own. They could die in their homes and would not be discovered for weeks or even months.2 A Change in Women’s LifeThe important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.Useful Words and Expressions:1. life-pattern生活方式2. share3 A Popular Pastime of the English PeopleOne of the best means of understanding the people of any nation is watching what the do with their non-working time.Most English men, women and children love growing things, especially flowers. Visitors to England in spring, summer or autumn are likely to see gardens all they way along the railway lines. There are flowers at the airports and flowers in factory grounds, as well as in gardens along the roads. Each English town has at least one park with beautifully kept flower beds. Public buildings of every kind have brilliant window boxes and sometimes baskets of flowers are hanging on them.But what the English enjoy most is growing things themselves. If it is impossible to have a garden, then a window box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other’s gardens is a popular pastime with the English.Useful Words and Expressions:1. window box:窗台上的花盆箱2.pastime 消遣，娱乐Swimming is my favorite pastime.4 British and American Police OfficersReal policemen, both in Britain and the U.S., hardly recognize any common points between their lives and what they se on TV—if they ever get home in time.Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them much of them.The first difference is that a policeman’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what’s more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to.Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty--- or not of stupid, unimportant crimes.Useful Words and Expressions:1. think much of 重视，尊重2. in court 在法庭上3. criminal 罪犯，犯罪者4. guilty 犯罪的，有罪的5 Living SpaceHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space needs are not met? Scientists are doing experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well and produce their young well. But if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior and even their health change obviously. They can not sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and worry become clear. The more crowded they are, and more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus, for rats, populations and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is enough space not only satisfactory, but necessary for human survival? These are interesting questions.6 The United NationsIn 1945, representatives of 50 nations met to plan this organization. It was called the United Nations. After the war, many more nations joined. There are two major parts of the United Nations. One is called the General Assembly. In the General Assembly, every member nation is represented and has an equal vote.The second part is called the Security Council. It has representatives of just 15 nations. Five nations are permanent members: the United States, Russia, France, Britain, and China. The 10 other members are elected every two years by the General Assembly.The major job of the Security Council is to keep peace in the world. If necessary, it can send troops from member nations to try to stop little wars before they turn into big ones.It is hard to get the nations of the Security Council to agree on when this is necessary. But they did vote to try to stop wars.Useful Words and Expressions:1. representative 代表2. General Assembly 联合国大会3. permanent 永久的，持久的4. Security Council 联合国安全理事会7 PlasticWe use plastic wrap to protect our foods. We put our garbage in plastic bags or plastic cans. We sit on plastic chairs, play with plastic toys, drink from plastic cups, and wash our hair with shampoo from plastic bottles!Plastic does not grow in nature. It is made by mixing certain thingstogether. We call it a produced or manufactured material. Plastic was first made in the 1860s from plants, such as wood and cotton. That plastic was soft and burned easily.The first modern plastics were made in the 1930s. Most clear plastic starts out as thick, black oil. That plastic coating inside a pan begins as natural gas.Over the years, hundreds of different plastics have been developed. Some are hard and strong. Some are soft and bendable. Some are clear. Some are many-colored. There is a plastic for almost every need. Scientists continue to experiment with plastics. They hope to find even ways to use them!8 Display of GoodsAre supermarkets designed to persuade us to buy more?Fresh fruit and vegetables are displayed near supermarket entrances. This gives the impression that only healthy food is sold in the shop. Basic foods that everyone buys, like sugar and tea, are not put near each other. They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past other attractive foods before they find what they want. In this way, shoppers are encouraged to buy products that they do not really need.Sweets are often placed at children’s eye level at the checkout. While parents are waiting to pay, children reach for the sweets and put them in the trolley.More is bought from a fifteen-foot display of one type of product than from a ten-foot one. Customers also buy more when shelves are full than when they are half empty. They do not like to buy from shelves with few products on them because they feel there is something wrong with those products that are there.Useful Words and Expressions:1. aisle 走廊，过道2. trolley 手推车3. checkout 收款台9 Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879, His father owned a factory that made electrical devices. His mother enjoyed music and books. His parents were Jewish b ut they did not observe many of the religion’s rules. Albert was a quite child who spent much of his time alone. He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read. When Albert was five years old, his father gave him a compass. The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction—to be north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move. Their answers about magnetism and gravity were difficultfor the boy to understand. Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them. He said later that he felt something hidden had to be behind things.Useful expressions and words:1. device 装置，设备leave to one’s own devices 听任某人自行其是，允许某人按自己的意愿做事She left the child to her own devices for an hour in the afternoon. 她允许孩子在下午有一个小时的自由支配时间。

Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.

Most English men, women and children love growing things, especially flowers. Visitors to England in spring, summer or autumn are likely to see gardens all they way along the railway lines. There are flowers at the airports and flowers in factory grounds, as well as in gardens along the roads. Each English town has at least one park with beautifully kept flower beds. Public buildings of every kind have brilliant window boxes and sometimes baskets of flowers are hanging on them. But what the English enjoy most is growing things themselves. If it is impossible to have a garden, then a window box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other’s gardens is a popular pastime with the English.

Passage 4 British and American Police OfficersReal policemen, both in Britain and the U.S., hardly recognize any common —if they ever get home in points between their lives and what they se on TVtime. Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them much of them. The first difference is that a policeman’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what’s more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to. Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty--- or not of stupid, unimportant crimes. Useful Words and Expressions:1. think much of 重视，尊重重视，尊重2. in court 在法庭上在法庭上在法庭上3. criminal 罪犯，犯罪者罪犯，犯罪者4. guilty 犯罪的，有罪的犯罪的，有罪的Passage 5 Living SpaceHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space needs are not met? Scientists are doing experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well and produce their young well. health change obviously. They can not sleep and eat well, and signs of fear But if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior and even their and worry become clear. The more crowded they are, and more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus, for rats, populations and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is enough space not only satisfactory, but necessary for human survival? These are interesting questions. Passage 6 The United NationsIn 1945, representatives of 50 nations met to plan this organization. It was called the United Nations. After the war, many more nations joined. There are two major parts of the United Nations. One is called the General Assembly. In the General Assembly, every member nation is represented and has an equal vote. The second part is called the Security Council. It has representatives of just 15 nations. Five nations are permanent members: the United States, Russia, France, Britain, and China. The 10 other members are elected every two years by the General Assembly. The major job of the Security Council is to keep peace in the world. If necessary, it can send troops from member nations to try to stop little wars before they turn into big ones. It is hard to get the nations of the Security Council to agree on when this is necessary. But they did vote to try to stop wars. Useful Words and Expressions:1. representative 代表代表2.

We put our garbage in plastic bags or plastic cans. We sit on plastic chairs, play with plastic toys, drink from plastic cups, and wash our hair with shampoo from plastic bottles! Plastic does not grow in nature. It is made by mixing certain things together. We call it a produced or manufactured material. Plastic was first made in the 1860s from plants, such as wood and cotton. That plastic was soft and burned easily. The first modern plastics were made in the 1930s. Most clear plastic starts out as thick, black oil. That plastic coating inside a pan begins as natural gas. Over the years, hundreds of different plastics have been developed. Some are hard and strong. Some are soft and bendable. Some are clear. Some are many-colored. There is a plastic for almost every need. Scientists continue to experiment with plastics. They hope to find even ways to use them! Passage 8 Display of GoodsAre supermarkets designed to persuade us to buy more? Fresh fruit and vegetables are displayed near supermarket entrances. This gives the impression that only healthy food is sold in the shop. Basic foods that everyone buys, like sugar and tea, are not put near each other. They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past other attractive foods before they find what they want. In this way, shoppers are encouraged to buy products that they do not really need. Sweets are often placed at children’s eye level at the checkout. While parents are waiting to pay, children reach for the sweets and put them in the trolley. More is bought from a fifteen-foot display of one type of product than from a ten-foot one. Customers also buy more when shelves are full than when they are half empty. They do not like to buy from shelves with few products on them because they feel there is something wrong with those products that are there.

【“译”刀两断】刀英语
【“译”刀两断】刀英语众所周知，中英两种语言在表达上存在诸多差异。
英语重形合，各语言符号之间有较强的逻辑联系，常常运用各种有形的、明确的、显性的联结手段以使句法完备、逻辑严密、表意精确；汉语重意合，词语或语句间主要凭借语句意义或句间逻辑关系来连接，句子结构较为松散、灵活，常以诸多短句展开叙述，注重以神摄形。
译者在进行英汉互译时，要深谙英汉两种语言之间的差异，努力使译文符合原文的表达习惯。
比如，译者在将英文译成汉语时，就要充分考虑到汉语重意合的特点，学会将英文中的长难句分割成汉语的短句。
在翻译实践中，译者常常用到分译法处理长难句。
所谓分译法，是指译者在翻译时，可以将英语中的一个句子分译为汉语中两个或两个以上的句子，或者将英语中的单词和短语译成汉语中的句子。
也就是说，分译法不仅可用于拆译长句，也可用于拆译短语，甚至可以拆译单词。
台湾著名翻译家夏济安先生所译的英美散文文字优美，可谓译文中的精品，其中对分译法的运用更是出神入化、信手拈来。
本文即以夏济安所译的英美散文为例，来体会如何恰当地运用分译法。
从句分译英语中的从句包括定语从句、状语从句、名词性从句等，这些从句都为句子增添了大量复杂的信息。
而汉语中的单句信息量不宜过大，因此译者在英译汉时，可尝试将英语中较为复杂的从句分译为单独的汉语句子，以使汉语的句子形式更为灵活、轻便，句意更为明了。
例1：Even those less fortunate individuals, who are doomed to pass their lives in the midst of din and traffic, contrive to have something that shall remind them of the green aspect of nature. (Rural Life in England)译文有些人比较不幸，一辈子注定在烦嚣的城市中过活，但是他们仍设法补救，总要种些花木，使自己不忘绿色的大自然美。

School-Life-in-the-UK翻译
我在英国上了一年的中学。
回想起来，那是一段令我非常开心，非常兴奋的经历。
我很喜欢英国中学的作息时间，因为学校每天上午大约9点上课，下午3点半放学。
这意味着我每天可以比以往晚一个小时起床，因为在中国学校每天上午8点之前就开始上课了。
开学的第一天，所有的学生要去参加晨会。
我当时坐在一个名叫黛安娜的女孩旁。
我们很快成了最好的朋友。
在晨会上校长向我们宣布了校纪校规。
他还告诉我们，赢得全体师生尊敬的最佳途径就是努力学习，得高分。
这听起来倒是像我在国内就读的中学。
过去的一年里我有过许多老师，每位老师只教一门功课。
海伍德先生是我们的班主任。
我最喜欢的老师是教我们英国文学的伯克小姐。
我们班上一共有29个学生。
英国中学的班级差不多就这么大。
我们上不同的课得去不同的教室。
上某些课的时候，我们班上的同学也不一样，所以很难记住每个人的长相和名字。
我发现这里布置的家庭作业不象我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可一开始我还是觉得有些挑战性，因为所有的作业都是英语的。
让我感到幸运的是，所有的老师都非常热心地帮助我，因此，我也喜欢我所学的每一门功课：英语，历史，英国文学，计算机，数学，科学，体育，艺术，烹调和法语。
我每天都在使用英语，每天还花一个小时在图书馆里阅读英文书籍，因此，我的英语有了很大进步。
午饭时间我常去电脑俱乐部，这样我可以免费给国内的家人和朋友发电子邮件了。
我还额外选了一门功课----每个星期二晚上去听法语。
当我学会如何买菜，配菜和做菜的时候，我发现烹饪真是一种乐趣。
学期末，我们班开了个派对，我们每人都为派对做一份食品。
我们班上所有的同学都喜欢我做的蛋糕，这可真让我高兴。
数学，英语和科学是该校的必修课，但是，如果不喜欢某些科目是可以不学的。
如历史，法语和艺术。
学生可以选修其他的科目。
如木工，计算机或者是西班牙语，德语之类的语言课。
在木工课上我做了一张小桌子。
尽管完工之后它看上去并不象什么桌子，但我仍然非常喜欢它。
每到吃午饭时我都非常想念中国菜。

RURAL_LIFE_IN_ENGLAND_英国的乡村生活
RURAL LIFE IN ENGLANDby Washington IrvingTHE stranger who would form a correct opinion of the English character, must not confine his observations to the metropolis. He must go forth into the country; he must sojourn in villages and hamlets; he must visit castles, villas, farm-houses, cottages; he must wander through parks and gardens; along hedges and green lanes; he must loiter about country churches; attend wakes and fairs, and other rural festivals; and cope with the people in all their conditions, and all their habits and humors.In some countries, the large cities absorb the wealth and fashion of the nation; they are the only fixed abodes of elegant and intelligent society, and the country is inhabited almost entirely by boorish peasantry. In England, on the contrary, the metropolis is a mere gathering-place, or general rendezvous, of the polite classes, where they devote a small portion of the year to a hurry of gayety and dissipation, and, having indulged this kind of carnival, return again to the apparently more congenial habits of rural life. The various orders of society are therefore diffused over the whole surface of the kingdom, and the more retired neighborhoods afford specimens of the different ranks.The English, in fact, are strongly gifted with the rural feeling. They possess a quick sensibility to the beauties of nature, and a keen relish for the pleasures and employments of the country. This passion seems inherent in them. Even the inhabitants of cities, born and brought up among brick walls and bustling streets, enter with facility into rural habits, and evince a tact for rural occupation. The merchant has his snug retreat in the vicinity of the metropolis, where he often displays as much pride and zeal in the cultivation of his flower-garden, and the maturing of his fruits, as he does in the conduct of his business, and the success of a commercial enterprise. Even those less fortunate individuals, who are doomed to pass their lives in the midst of din and traffic, contrive to have something that shall remind them of the green aspect of nature. In the most dark and dingy quarters of the city, the drawing-room window resembles frequently a bank of flowers; every spot capable of vegetation has its grass-plot and flower-bed; and every square its mimic park, laid out with picturesque taste, and gleaming with refreshing verdure.Those who see the Englishman only in town, are apt to form an unfavorable opinion of his social character. He is either absorbed in business, or distracted by the thousand engagements that dissipate time, thought, and feeling, in this huge metropolis. He has, therefore, too commonly, a look of hurry and abstraction. Wherever he happens to be, he is on the point of going somewhere else; at the moment he is talking on one subject, his mind is wandering to another; and while paying a friendly visit, he is calculating how he shall economize time so as to pay the other visits allotted to the morning. An immense metropolis, like London, is calculated to make men selfish and uninteresting. In their casual and transient meetings, they can but deal briefly in commonplaces. They present but the coldsuperfices of character--its rich and genial qualities have no time to be warmed into a flow.It is in the country that the Englishman gives scope to his natural feelings. He breaks loose gladly from the cold formalities and negative civilities of town; throws off his habits of shy reserve, and becomes joyous and free-hearted. He manages to collect round him all the conveniences and elegancies of polite life, and to banish its restraints. His country-seat abounds with every requisite, either for studious retirement, tasteful gratification, or rural exercise. Books, paintings, music, horses, dogs, and sporting implements of all kinds, are at hand. He puts no constraint, either upon his guests or himself, but, in the true spirit of hospitality, provides the means of enjoyment, and leaves every one to partake according to his inclination.The taste of the English in the cultivation of land, and in what is called landscape gardening, is unrivalled. They have studied Nature intently, and discovered an exquisite sense of her beautiful forms and harmonious combinations. Those charms which, in other countries, she lavishes in wild solitudes, are here assembled round the haunts of domestic life. They seem to have caught her coy and furtive graces, and spread them, like witchery, about their rural abodes. Nothing can be more imposing than the magnificence of English park scenery. Vast lawns that extend like sheets of vivid green, with here and there clumps of gigantic trees, heaping up rich piles of foliage. The solemn pomp of groves and woodland glades, with the deer trooping in silent herds across them; the hare, bounding away to the covert; or the pheasant, suddenly bursting upon the wing. The brook, taught to wind in natural meanderings, or expand into a glassy lake--the sequestered pool, reflecting the quivering trees, with the yellow leaf sleeping on its bosom, and the trout roaming fearlessly about its limpid waters; while some rustic temple, or sylvan statue, grown green and dank with age, gives an air of classic sanctity to the seclusion.These are but a few of the features of park scenery; but what most delights me, is the creative talent with which the English decorate the unostentatious abodes of middle life. The rudest habitation, the most unpromising and scanty portion of land, in the hands of an Englishman of taste, becomes a little paradise. With a nicely discriminating eye, he seizes at once upon its capabilities, and pictures in his mind the future landscape. The sterile spot grows into loveliness under his hand; and yet the operations of art which produce the effect are scarcely to be perceived. The cherishing and training of some trees; the cautious pruning of others; the nice distribution of flowers and plants of tender and graceful foliage; the introduction of a green slope of velvet turf; the partial opening to a peep of blue distance, or silver gleam of water;-all these are managed with a delicate tact, a pervading yet quiet assiduity, like the magic touchings with which a painter finishes up a favorite picture.The residence of people of fortune and refinement in the country, has diffused a degree of taste and elegance in rural economy that descends to the lowest class.The very laborer, with his thatched cottage and narrow slip of ground, attends to their embellishment. The trim hedge, the grass-plot before the door, the little flower-bed bordered with snug box, the woodbine trained up against the wall, and hanging its blossoms about the lattice; the pot of flowers in the window; the holly, providently planted about the house, to cheat winter of its dreariness, and to throw in a semblance of green summer to cheer the fireside; all these bespeak the influence of taste, flowing down from high sources, and pervading the lowest levels of the public mind. If ever Love, as poets sing, delights to visit a cottage, it must be the cottage of an English peasant.The fondness for rural life among the higher classes of the English has had a great and salutary effect upon the national character. I do not know a finer race of men than the English gentlemen. Instead of the softness and effeminacy which characterize the men of rank in most countries, they exhibit a union of elegance and strength, a robustness of frame and freshness of complexion, which I am inclined to attribute to their living so much in the open air, and pursuing so eagerly the invigorating recreations of the country. The hardy exercises produce also a healthful tone of mind and spirits, and a manliness and simplicity of manners, which even the follies and dissipations of the town cannot easily pervert, and can never entirely destroy. In the country, too, the different orders of society seem to approach more freely, to be more disposed to blend and operate favorably upon each other. The distinctions between them do not appear to be so marked and impassable as in the cities. The manner in which property has been distributed into small estates and farms has established a regular gradation from the noblemen, through the classes of gentry, small landed proprietors, and substantial farmers, down to the laboring peasantry; and while it has thus banded the extremes of society together, has infused into each intermediate rank a spirit of independence. This, it must be confessed, is not so universally the case at present as it was formerly; the larger estates having, in late years of distress, absorbed the smaller, and, in some parts of the country, almost annihilated the sturdy race of small farmers. These, however, I believe, are but casual breaks in the general system I have mentioned.In rural occupation, there is nothing mean and debasing. It leads a, man forth among scenes of natural grandeur and beauty; it leaves him to the workings of his own mind, operated upon by the purest and most elevating of external influences. Such a man may be simple and rough, but he cannot be vulgar. The man of refinement, therefore, finds nothing revolting in an intercourse with the lower orders in rural life, as he does when he casually mingles with the lower orders of cities. He lays aside his distance and reserve, and is glad to waive the distinctions of rank, and to enter into the honest, heartfelt enjoyments of common life. Indeed, the very amusements of the country bring, men more and more together; and the sound hound and horn blend all feelings into harmony. I believe this is one great reason why the nobility and gentry are more popular among the inferior orders in England than they are in any other country; and why the latter have endured so many excessive pressures and extremities, without repining more generally at theunequal distribution of fortune and privilege.To this mingling of cultivated and rustic society may also be attributed the rural feeling that runs through British literature; the frequent use of illustrations from rural life; those incomparable descriptions of Nature, that abound in the British poets--that have continued down from "The Flower and the Leaf," of Chaucer, and have brought into our closets all the freshness and fragrance of the dewy landscape. The pastoral writers of other countries appear as if they had paid Nature an occasional visit, and become acquainted with her general charms; but the British poets have lived and revelled with her--they have wooed her in her most secret haunts--they have watched her minutest caprices. A spray could not tremble in the breeze--a leaf could not rustle to the ground--a diamond drop could not patter in the stream--a fragrance could not exhale from the humble violet, nor a daisy unfold its crimson tints to the morning, but it has been noticed by these impassioned and delicate observers, and wrought up into some beautiful morality. The effect of this devotion of elegant minds to rural occupations has been wonderful on the face of the country. A great part of the island is rather level, and would be monotonous, were it not for the charms of culture; but it is studded and gemmed, as it were, with castles and palaces, and embroidered with parks and gardens. It does not abound in grand and sublime prospects, but rather in little home scenes of rural repose and sheltered quiet. Every antique farm-house and moss-grown cottage is a picture; and as the roads are continually winding, and the view is shut in by groves and hedges, the eye is delighted by a continual succession of small landscapes of captivating loveliness.The great charm, however, of English scenery, is the moral feeling that seems to pervade it. It is associated in the mind with ideas of order, of quiet, of sober well-established principles, of hoary usage and reverend custom. Every thing seems to be the growth of ages of regular and peaceful existence. The old church of remote architecture, with its low, massive portal; its Gothic tower; its windows rich with tracery and painted glass, in scrupulous preservation; its stately monuments of warriors and worthies of the olden time, ancestors of the present lords of the soil; its tombstones, recording successive generations of sturdy yeomanry, whose progeny still plough the same fields, and kneel at the same altar;--the parsonage, a quaint irregular pile, partly antiquated, but repaired and altered in the tastes of various ages and occupants;--the stile and foot-path leading from the churchyard, across pleasant fields, and along shady hedgerows, according to an immemorial right of way;--the neighboring village, with its venerable cottages, its public green sheltered by trees, under which the forefathers of the present race have sported;--the antique family mansion, standing apart in some little rural domain, but looking down with a protecting air on the surrounding scene; all these common features of English landscape evince a calm and settled security, a hereditary transmission of homebred virtues and local attachments, that speak deeply and touchingly for the moral character of the nation.It is a pleasing sight, of a Sunday morning, when the bell is sending its sober melody across the quiet fields, to behold the peasantry in their best finery, with ruddy faces, and modest cheerfulness, thronging tranquilly along the green lanes to church; but it is still more pleasing to see them in the evenings, gathering about their cottage doors, and appearing to exult in the humble comforts and embellishments which their own hands have spread around them.It is this sweet home-feeling, this settled repose of affection in the domestic scene, that is, after all, the parent of the steadiest virtues and purest enjoyments; and I cannot close these desultory remarks better, than by quoting the words of a modern English poet, who has depicted it with remarkable felicity:Through each gradation, from the castled hall,The city dome, the villa crowned with shade,But chief from modest mansions numberless,In town or hamlet, shelt'ring middle life,Down to the cottaged vale, and straw-roof'd shed;This western isle has long been famed for scenesWhere bliss domestic finds a dwelling-place;Domestic bliss, that, like a harmless dove,(Honor and sweet endearment keeping guard,)Can centre in a little quiet nestAll that desire would fly for through the earth;That can, the world eluding, be itselfA world enjoyed; that wants no witnessesBut its own sharers, and approving Heaven;That, like a flower deep hid in rock cleft,Smiles, though 't is looking only at the sky.*From a poem on the death of the Princess Charlotte, by the Reverend Rann Kennedy, A.M.The two articles are all about the rural life. The Spring Sowing is about the rural life in Ireland and the Rural Life in England is about that in England. Patriotic writers created huge amounts of works which described Irish people’s life and reflected national spirit during that time, including The Spring Sowing. And the author has seized a very dramatic moment in the young couple’s life and has shown their life and dreams through his descriptions of their spring planting in minute detail. It is this quality that the power of this story mainly lies. Similarly, the Rural Life in England expressed the author’s love of the rural life in England. Author maintain that the stranger who would form a correct opinion of the English character, must not confine his observations to the big cities. He have to visit villages, castles and wander through parks and gardens. English have a great taste in the cultivation of land or so called landscape gardening and they also expose a exquisite sense of nature’s beauty.However, in the former article, author conveyed his thought by a couple’s story during one day, but the latter is an essay and write a lot in the difference of the two different living styles between the city and country. For example, English man have a place to put his natural feelings when they are in country, and generally speaking they hate the cold formalities and negative civilities of town. The fondness for rural life among the higher classes of the English has had a great and beneficial effect upon the national character. The author think the men of the higher rank in most countries are characterized by softness and effeminacy, but the English aristocrat are different with a union of elegance and strength. They have strong body and spirit. In the Spring Sowing, the two main characters are farmers and they maybe simple and rough but they cannot be vulgar. It is very similar with that in the Rural Life in England.。

life in british school课文翻译Life in a British schoolHi, everybody.My name is Nancy. I am in Year 8 at Woodland School near London. It is a mixed school. Boys and girls have lessons together. Among all my subjects,I like French best. Learning foreign languages is fun.Our school has a Reading Week every year. During the week,we can borrow more books from the school library. We can also bring in books and magazines from home. I often read more books than my classmates. Near the end of the week, we discuss the books with our classmates in class. Time seems to go faster when we are reading interesting books.【翻译】：英国学校的生活大家好。
我的名字叫南希。
我在伦敦附近的林地学校上八年级。
这是一所男女混合的学校。
男生和女生一起上课。
在所有的学科中，我最喜欢法语。
学外语很有趣。
我们学校每年有一个阅读周。
在这一周里，我们可以从学校图书馆借更多的书。
我们也可以从家里带来书和杂志。
我经常比我的同学们读更多的书。
在这周临近结束时，在课堂上我们和同学们讨论这些书。
当我们阅读有趣的书籍时，时间似乎过得更快。
SchoolLifeintheUK翻译
我在英国上了一年的中学。
回想起来，那是一段令我非常开心，非常兴奋的经历。
我很喜欢英国中学的作息时间，因为学校每天上午大约9点上课，下午3点半放学。
这意味着我每天可以比以往晚一个小时起床，因为在中国学校每天上午8点之前就开始上课了。
开学的第一天，所有的学生要去参加晨会。
我当时坐在一个名叫黛安娜的女孩旁。
我们很快成了最好的朋友。
在晨会上校长向我们宣布了校纪校规。
他还告诉我们，赢得全体师生尊敬的最佳途径就是努力学习，得高分。
这听起来倒是像我在国内就读的中学。
过去的一年里我有过许多老师，每位老师只教一门功课。
海伍德先生是我们的班主任。
我最喜欢的老师是教我们英国文学的伯克小姐。
我们班上一共有29个学生。
英国中学的班级差不多就这么大。
我们上不同的课得去不同的教室。
上某些课的时候，我们班上的同学也不一样，所以很难记住每个人的长相和名字。
我发现这里布置的家庭作业不象我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可一开始我还是觉得有些挑战性，因为所有的作业都是英语的。
让我感到幸运的是，所有的老师都非常热心地帮助我，因此，我也喜欢我所学的每一门功课：英语，历史，英国文学，计算机，数学，科学，体育，艺术，烹调和法语。
我每天都在使用英语，每天还花一个小时在图书馆里阅读英文书籍，因此，我的英语有了很大进步。
午饭时间我常去电脑俱乐部，这样我可以免费给国内的家人和朋友发电子邮件了。
我还额外选了一门功课----每个星期二晚上去听法语。
当我学会如何买菜，配菜和做菜的时候，我发现烹饪真是一种乐趣。
学期末，我们班开了个派对，我们每人都为派对做一份食品。
我们班上所有的同学都喜欢我做的蛋糕，这可真让我高兴。
数学，英语和科学是该校的必修课，但是，如果不喜欢某些科目是可以不学的。
如历史，法语和艺术。
学生可以选修其他的科目。
如木工，计算机或者是西班牙语，德语之类的语言课。
在木工课上我做了一张小桌子。
尽管完工之后它看上去并不象什么桌子，但我仍然非常喜欢它。
每到吃午饭时我都非常想念中国菜。
英伦生活之英格兰 Living in the UK England 双语阅读
英伦生活之英格兰Living in the UK: England双语阅读When you think about the UK, often the first country to spring to mind is England; with almost 50 million people it makes up over 80% of the UK's total population.London? Football? Bridget Jones? Pubs and beer? Does this sum up England for you?We asked some people living in England what they think about life there…If you're asked about the culture of England what do you say?'Very diverse in terms of values, living standards and interests.''Creative society, multicultural with much new creativity stemming from the meeting of different cultures, particularly in music, literature and enterprise.''Culture is all pervasive and almost impossibly diverse in England…For me, the most important elements are film and television, music, sport and architecture.''Morris dancing, football, football hooligans, beer louts, pretty country.'What one thing represents England for you?'Football.''St George's cross – his flag is associated with the national football team.''London – our capital city and a great example of the old and the new combining together to make a world class city.''St George: what else is there that isn't British?'Do you think England is a multicultural country?'Yes – there are people from all over the world living in England.''In some ways England has always been multicultural; we are an invaded nation…even before the Second World War we were never a homogenous nation; local cultures, traditions and ways of life were often stronger than the national identity. After the War, immigration from a number of different places has led the country to become, in many parts, a real melting pot of lifestyles, creeds, colours and societies.''Yes, it is because it is such a mix of identities that finds a definition of itself very problematic.''In the cities and large towns – yes, because larger populations mean greater cultural diversity. Rural populations can still be very insular and unwelcoming though.' British Council每当你想到英国的时候，你最先想到的往往是英格兰。

1，爱情我愿以这对平凡老人开始关于这一年所有美好的追忆。
2011年9月16日，我在布里斯托的市中心遇到他们。
两个老人都没牙了，颤颤巍巍地相互搀扶着在逛街，老爷爷西服领子上别着朵假花，老奶奶穿着碎花裙子像小姑娘一样穿着一直抱着新买的标签还没取的绒毛熊~~跟我们目光相遇就对我们露出没有牙齿的微笑~~~这样的爱情看得我和奴猪无比唏嘘，爱情就当如此，天荒地老。
2、食物以食物难吃而闻名于世的英国，却有这么一样东西可以拿来骄傲，这就是传说中的英式早餐~不过一份英式早餐的量是相当大的，我一般上午十点左右吃一顿这一天就不需要再吃饭了……这是我在英国的第一顿饭~在谢菲尔德的一家早餐店~除去英式早餐，英国的下午茶也是一道风景。
加奶加糖的英国茶配上这么一套糕点，实在让人心情大爽。
话说别看各种蛋糕争奇斗艳，最好吃的还是松饼加黄油啊！秒杀世界上一切其他点心啊！！这是在约克著名的百年老店Bettys吃的下午茶~~~3、从布里斯托开始我在《人生最曲折的那一年》里说过，我的生活在布里斯托。
初到布里斯托，连住房还没找好的我们在一家宾馆度过了最初的三天。
像其他英国老式宾馆一样，楼里没有电梯，而碎花床单以及摆在桌上的茶和咖啡以及瓷杯则是必不可少的配置。
旁边的咖啡馆每日用粉笔在小黑板上写上当日的菜谱，就是这块小小的招牌，成为布里斯托打动我的第一个音符。
4、所谓大城市对于一个在中国生活了24年才第一次踏出国门的我，英国城市的规模和其人口密度都令我咋舌。
习惯了国内城市对“大一点，再大一点的”执着，看到布里斯托——这个曾是英国第二，如今沦为第七大的城市——却几乎可以靠步行满足我的所有交通需要让我意外不已。
于是常常跟英国人发生这样一段对话：对方问我家乡是哪里。
我答太原。
对方问我城市大吗。
我说不大。
对方问和布里斯托比呢？我说大概有四个布里斯托大……于是大家就沉默了……而照片上这条路，从中心商业街走过来不过十分钟。
正是周日午后，却空无人影。
这样的景象，让初出国门的我骇然不已。
5、可怜的日本人照片上是我在语言中心读语言课时贴在教室外面的，上面用各国语言写着“我爱学语言，你呢？”后来每次奴猪在教室外等我下课时，就在那个画着日本小孩的位置扎几个图钉，一个月下来就变成了这幅样子……在英国的留学生中，较之于日本学生，中国学生在数量上占据了压倒性的优势。
而且中国学生的恶嗜好就是：一旦在外国人面前丢了脸，就立马装日本人……至少我在外面丢了人，都立即开始唱日本民歌《樱花》……6、涂鸦这幅名为《偷情者》的画就堂而皇之地涂在Park Street边上的房子上——Park Street 对于布里斯托，也就相当于长安街对于北京。
涂鸦的作者是著名的涂鸦大师Banksy——Banksy对于涂鸦界，也就相当于乔丹对于篮球界。
作为布里斯托人的他在家乡留有几幅相当有名的涂鸦，这个就是其中之一，已成为来布里斯托的游客必拍照之景。
涂鸦对布里斯托来说已称得上可以登堂入室的艺术门类。
去年闲的蛋疼的布里斯托市政府举办了欧洲最大规模的集体涂鸦，并且表示将永久保留这些涂鸦作品。
于是通往市中心的街道就变成了而这条花花绿绿的路就是我去市中心必经之路……7、关于露天咖啡馆再也没有什么事能比得上在英国难得的晴朗天气里坐在阳光下喝一杯cream on top 的摩卡咖啡了~~~就这么在灿烂到让人几乎眩晕的阳光下，悠悠然地看着来来往往的人，举起厚厚的瓷杯，让滚烫的咖啡穿过厚厚的凉奶油终于入口，那个瞬间的惬意，仿佛千万年都静止与此。
在英国，星巴克是很没有人气的，一般都要costa的队伍排出店门星巴克才能开张。
我倒是最爱nero（忘记是不是这个名字了），初到英国时，同奴猪一起坐在谢菲尔德的广场旁的nero露天位置，看一对新人挽着手从教堂中走出，新娘的白纱滑过石板路面，每个人都幸福洋溢。
这是我记忆中一个美丽时刻。
8、感受天堂摄于2011年9月4日。
一个晴朗安静的周日午后，带着刚刚入手尚不熟悉的单反走在布里斯托街头。
而技艺生疏地记录下的景色，却也足以是我震惊。
这是环绕susn bridge的草坪，晴朗的日子，我和奴猪会从超市买了三明治以及寿司在这里野餐。
我曾见过很多美丽的城市，却从不从有一座城市像这bristol一样，如此地打动我心。
我惊讶于这里人们心态的平和与生活的泰然，这里不是天堂，但身处期间，我能感受到天堂的存在。
在这里，我经历了25载人生中最曲折，却也是最美丽的一年。
9、“霉”雨初来英国时，我会在骤雨初歇后带着相机去记录那个时刻的景色。
但这个习惯很快被抛弃了——太多的雨，多到让人除了太阳别无他念。
在南京读大学时曾烦恼于衣服发霉，而在英国，我的碗发霉了，我的电饭锅发霉了，我的冰箱也发霉了。
一切在我昔日的观念中与发霉无关的东西都蠢蠢欲动来推翻我之前的错误思想。
看到奥运会时前方记者一再抱怨伦敦的天气时，已然回到社会主义蓝天下的我在电视前感同身受深有体会。
今年早些时候，伦敦地铁里一度贴出一张告示：在圣经中连下四十天雨，他们称其为世界末日。
在英格兰连下四十天雨，我们称其为夏天。
总体来说，英国每个星期平均下两次雨，一次下三天，一次下四天。
10、爱丽丝迷路图片上的地方居然就在离我们学校主楼步行十分钟的地方。
这是一个中午午休时的偶然发现。
英国的路不像中国那般正南正北，而是及其自由随性七盘八转，于是迷路就成了方向感不算很好的我生活中的一部分。
然而在这个美丽的城市，迷路竟成了这般让人乐不可支的一件事。
第一次迷路将我和奴猪带到了这里：之后的一次是这里：在布里斯托，我们像掉入梦中仙境的爱丽丝，在每一条陌生的路上，看到不期然的美丽景色。
11、吸血鬼城堡由于英国的纬度很高，夏天常常十点钟天还大亮着，我在抵达英国一个多月后，才第一次看到了英国的夜景。
英国的路灯诡异地发红，给百年前流下的石头建筑染上一层妖冶诡谲之色。
月亮在云层后面时隐时现，一切都仿佛一部中世纪电影中的场景。
我们学校主楼顶端的窗口透出昏黄的灯光，半截高塔仿佛浮在空中，而透过那窗户，似乎随时可能有吸血鬼飞出来：夜色中的Park Street：入夜后，这个白天平和静美的城市摇身一变，成为蒂姆·波顿创造的奇幻城堡。
12、谈谈历史，或者承嗣这个位于不起眼的小巷中的不起眼的小店，却是英国最著名的面包店之一。
它提供全英最正宗的意大利圆面包——从1482年起。
它家的面包，不要复杂的花样，只要配着果酱或黄油就是无上美味。
光是听到烤的微脆的面包纤维在后牙间嘎吱嘎吱断裂的声音，就已让人心醉神驰了。
再加一杯英式伯爵茶，几百年的时光，都仿佛如此悠悠然度过历史在英国并不是奢侈品，也与沉重无关。
它存在于一家家小店的招牌上，存在于一个个家庭的壁炉上。
一条街的样子，可以几百年不变，此间悠悠岁月，都如此在这里沉积下来。
人们就这样穿越这些建筑，像百年前，他们的祖先所做的那般。
因为知道生活就是如此——从百年前，到百年后，于是每个人都可神色泰然。
而这，才是历史于我的意义。
13、初访巴斯照片是在巴斯的街边拍随意拍摄的。
这个号称“英格兰最美城市”的地方，载着两千年的历史，宁静地美丽着。
巴斯是个小的令人瞠目的城市，我和奴猪全程步行，连上在景点内的时间和在面包店吃午餐的时间，也不过三个多小时便基本将城市走遍。
这里最有名的是罗马人在2000年前所建造的温泉浴场，也是Bath这个城市名字的由来。
在巴斯买一所白色的房子，宁静地度过半生，是多少英国人的梦想。
14、“腐国”照片上是巴斯的一条街，当初就为了这个街名我和奴猪特地找去。
其实Gay在英语世界算是个平淡无奇的姓，但放在腐国的大环境里，总有点让人想入非非。
比如在国内男人穿粉衬衣很正常，在英国就要做好被男人调戏的准备——奴猪就是前车之鉴。
至于门上插了彩色旗的酒吧夜店，直男请自觉绕路。
话说我一直觉得卷福和花生应该从贝克街搬到这条街上来住……15、Hello，色彩坐船在Avon River——中国学生将其译成“雅芳河”——上，随手拍下了河边的房子。
这种色彩相间的连体别墅，是布里斯托最常见的房子之一，沿山而建，层层叠叠。
来到布里斯托以后，每每看到宫崎骏的画，总以为是对布里斯托日常风景的描摹。
期待着某日，有一扇属于自己的房门，色彩鲜艳。
16、傲慢与偏见你以为我会随便告诉你这里就是《傲慢与偏见》拍摄的霍华德庄园吗？绿草萋萋，一望无际。
树影历历，湖面如镜。
行走其间，一如人在画中。
来英国时间尚短的我，几乎难以自己真的身处相信眼前的景致。
简·奥斯丁在英国有着超出我预期的超高人气，从巴斯到约克，所有跟简·奥斯丁扯上一点关系的地方，几乎都游人如织。
而奥斯丁的作品，也被一部部奉为经典。
英国的著名作家和经典作品都相当丰盛，不喜欢简·奥斯丁也没关系。
从莎士比亚到哈利·波特，总有一款适合你~~~17、英国符号说到英国的符号，我脑中最先冒出来的是这么一系列东西：红色的电话亭，红色的邮筒，红色的双层巴士和常常出现在各类英语教材封面上的伦敦塔桥。
然而在英国待的越久，要将这里的生活归类为符号就越加困难。
如今当我想到英国，我更多地会想到墙缝中开出的花，擦肩而过的陌生人的笑脸和随处可见的肥嘟嘟的松鼠。
在这里经历的，是真实的生活，立体厚重的生活，无论怎样浓缩，都无法压成平板的符号。
而这种鲜嫩多汁的生活，正是关于这个国家，我所热爱的。
18、坑爹的巨石阵如果要我评选英国最不值得一去的著名景点，那么非巨石阵莫属。
几块秃石头，还不能近前，只能在远远开辟出的一条环路绕着它眺望。
所有去过巨石阵的人都说：巨石阵这个地方，不去遗憾，去了后悔。
不过我要指出的是，在缓慢生活的英国，与其像在国内那样直奔景点，不如悠然欣赏沿途风景，反而会如梦游仙境的爱丽丝，有意外发现。
一个叫Old Sarum的地方就这样出现：然后是Salisbury，这是我心目中英格兰最美的城市。
需要我专门开一个新部分来描述它。
19、仙境&wonderland身临其境地走到照片中的地方时，我和奴猪都惊讶地叫出声来。
河水蜿蜒，绿树低垂，河对岸是广阔草场，散落着黑脸的羊。
在远处是尖顶高耸的教堂，有着阿尔卑斯山以北最高的塔楼。
在Salisbury沿河而行，处处恍如仙境。
有路过的当地人友好地停下，不无骄傲地同我们聊起其当地的美景。
好几条河在此汇聚，却都轻轻浅浅，凉爽沁肤。
一条被草埋没的路，走在其上，真仿佛儿时幻想过的仙境。
这条路的尽头，便是清冷河水。
依水而建的房子，总让人心生向往。
天鹅是英国最常见的水鸟之一，遍布河面，对影自怜。
我说过，这里的生活并不是天堂。
然而我要补充一句，在这里，你却可能误入仙境。
20、Susn Bridge的永恒夕阳我在英国最爱的城市是布里斯托，在布里斯托最爱的地方就是susn bridge。
像之前在天堂那一部分所写，在这里我会想起天堂。
这是我一年间反复拍摄，反复留恋的地方。
