地理之谜

People
may
wonder
why different words are
used
to
describe
these
four countries: England,
Wales,
Scotland
and
Northern
Ireland.


也许觉 得奇怪,为什么
用来描述英格兰、威尔
士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰
这四个国家的词语不太一样。
You can clarify
this
question
if
you
study
British
history.

如果你学过英国历史,
就能弄清楚这个问题。

First there was England.
Wales was linked to it in
the
thirteenth
century.
首先 是英格兰。威尔士

13
世纪同英格兰联
合了起来。
Now
when
people
refer
to England
you find Wales included
as
well.
如今 只要有人
提起英格兰,你就会发
现威尔士总是包括在
内的。
Next England and
Wales
were
joined
to
Scotland
in
the
seventeenth
century
and
the
name
was
changed
to

Britain
接着,英格兰、
威 尔士同苏格兰于
17
世纪联合了起来,名字
就改成了

大不列颠

Happily
this
was
accomplished
without
conflict
when
King
James
of
Scotland
became

King of
England
and
Wales
as
well.
令人
庆幸的是,当苏格兰的
詹姆斯国王成为英格
兰和威尔士的国王时,
这三个国家和平地实
现了联合。
F inally
the
English
government
tried

in
the
early
twentieth
century
to

form
the
United
Kingdom
by
getting

Ireland
connected
in the
same
peaceful
way.

后,
英 国政府打算于
20
世纪初把爱尔兰也同
另外三个国家和平联
合起来以形成联合 王


However,
the
southern part of Ireland
was unwilling and broke
away
to
form
its
own
government.
然而,
爱尔
兰的南部却不愿意而
分离出去了,并建立了
自己的政府。
So
only
Northern
Ireland
joined
with
England,
Wales
and Scotland to become
the
United
Kingdom
and
this
was
shown
to
the
world
in
a
new
flag
called the Union Jack.

此只有北爱尔兰同英
格兰、威尔士、苏格兰
联合起来,而组成了联
合王国,这一点从新的
联合王国国旗上就可
以看得出来。
To
their
credit
the
four
countries
do

work
together
in
some
areas
(eg,
the
currency
and
international
relations),
but
they
still
have
very
different
institutions.< br>值
得赞扬的是,虽然这四
个国家的确在一些方
面共同合作,例如在货
币 和国际关系方面;但
是它们在制度上仍然
存在很大的区别。
For
example,
Northern
Ireland,
England
and
Scotland
have
different
educational
and
legal
systems
as
well
as
different
football
teams
for
competitions
like
the World Cup!
例如,

爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格
兰在 教育体制和立法
体制上都存在着差异。
在参加像世界杯之类
的比赛时,它们有着各自的足球队。

England is the largest of
the
four
countries,
and
for
convenience
it
is
divided
roughly
into

three
zones.




国家中,英格兰是最大
的。为了方便起见,它
大致可 以划分为三个
地区。
The zone nearest
France
is
called
the
South
of
England,
the
middle
zone
is
called
the
Midlands
and
the
one nearest to Scotland
is
known
as

the
North.
最靠近法国的那个地
区叫做英 格兰南部,中
部地区叫做英格兰中
部,最靠近苏格兰的那
个地区叫做英格兰北
部。
You
find

most of the
population
settled

in
the
south,
but
most
of
the
industrial
cities
in
the
Midlands
and
the
North
of
England.
你可
以看到英国的大部分
人口聚居在南部,而多
数大工业城 市都位于
中部和北部。
Although,
nationwide,
these
cities
are not as large as
those
in
China
,
they
have
world-famous
football
teams
and
some
of
them even have two!

管, 英国任何一个城市
都不像中国的城市那
样大,但是他们都有着
自己的享有威名的足球队,有的城市甚至还
有两个队。
It
is
a
pity
that the industrial cities
built

in
the
nineteenth
century
do
not
attract
visitors.
很遗憾,
这些建
19
世纪的工业城市
对游客并没有吸引力。
For
historical
architecture you have to
go
to
older
but
smaller
towns
built
by

the
Romans.
