WHAT'S IN A NAME? 【1】
The United Kingdom, Great Britain, Britain, England — many people are confused by what these different names mean. So what is the difference between them, if any 【2】? Getting to know a little bit about British history 【3】 will help you solve this puzzle①.
【1】[标题赏析]“WHAT'S IN A NAME?”用疑问句点出文章的关键信息NAME。以此作为课文标题的好处:一是反映文章的主要内容——名字;二是设置悬念,引起读者的阅读兴趣。
【2】if any是一个省略句,补充完整为if there is any difference。
【3】Getting to know a little bit about British history为v. -ing短语,在句中作主语,其谓语常用单数形式。
In the 16th century, the nearby② country of Wales was joined to③ the Kingdom of England. Later, in the 18th century, the country Scotland was joined to create the Kingdom of Great Britain 【4】. In the 19th century, the Kingdom of Ireland was added to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Finally, in the 20th century, the southern part of Ireland broke away from④ the UK, which resulted in⑤ the full name we have today 【5】: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Most people just use the shortened⑥ name:“the United Kingdom” or “the UK”. People from the UK are called “British”, which means the UK is also often referred to as⑦ Britain or Great Britain.
【4】不定式短语to create the Kingdom of Great Britain在句中作结果状语。下一句中的to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland也是作结果状语。
【5】此处为which引导的非限制性定语从句,which指代整个主句且在从句中作主语;在该从句中又包含一个省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句we have today,其先行词为the full name。
The four countries that belong⑧ to the United Kingdom work together in some areas⑨. They use the same flag, known as the Union Jack 【6】, as well as⑩ share the same currency⑪ and military⑫ defence⑬. However, they also have some differences. For example, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all have different education systems and legal⑭ systems. They also have their own traditions, like their own national days and national dishes. And they even have their own football teams for competitions like the World Cup!
【6】过去分词短语known as the Union Jack作后置定语,修饰flag。
The United Kingdom has a long and interesting history to explore, which can help you understand much more about the country and its traditions. Almost everywhere you go in the UK 【7】, you will be surrounded⑮ by evidence⑯ of four different groups of people who took over⑰ at different times throughout history. The first group, the Romans, came in the first century. Some of their great achievements⑱ included building towns and roads. Next, the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the fifth century. They introduced the beginnings of the English language, and changed the way people built houses 【8】. The Vikings came in the eighth century, left behind⑲ lots of new vocabulary, and also the names of many locations⑳ across the UK. The last group were the Normans. 【9】 They conquered England after the well-known Battle of Hastings in the 11th century. They had castles built 【10】 all around England, and made changes to the legal system. The Normans were French, so many French words slowly entered into the English language.
【7】此处是everywhere引导的地点状语从句,everywhere表示“到处,处处”。
【8】people built houses为省略了关系词that的定语从句,修饰先行词the way。
【9】group是集体名词,此处表示组成集体的分散个体,故谓语动词用复数形式;若强调整体,则谓语动词用单数形式。
【10】此处是“have sth. done”结构,表示“使……被……”。
There is so much more to learn about the interesting history and culture of the United Kingdom. Studying the history of the country will make your visit much more enjoyable 【11】. The capital city London is a great place to start, as it is an ancient port city that has a history dating all the way back to Roman times 【12】. There are countless historic sites to explore, and lots of museums with ancient relics from all over the UK. The UK is a fascinating mix of history and modern culture, with both new and old traditions. If you keep your eyes open, you will be surprised to find that you can see both its past and its present.
【11】此处是“make+宾语+宾补”结构,形容词短语much more enjoyable作宾补。
【12】此处是as引导的原因状语从句,其中又包含一个that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词city;现在分词短语dating all the way back to Roman times作后置定语,修饰a history。
名字有什么意义?
联合王国,大不列颠,不列颠,英格兰——许多人对这些不同名字的含义感到困惑。如果确有不同含义的话,那它们之间的区别是什么呢?了解一点英国历史将有助于你解开这个谜题。
16世纪,邻国威尔士加入英格兰王国。随后,18世纪,苏格兰并入,从而创建了大不列颠王国。19世纪,爱尔兰王国加入,形成了大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国。最后,在20世纪,爱尔兰南部脱离英国,最终形成了我们现在的英国全称:大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。大多数人只使用其简称:“联合王国”或“英国”。来自英国的人被称为“British(英国人)”,这意味着英国也经常被称为不列颠或大不列颠。
属于英国的这四个国家在某些领域携手并进。像拥有同样的货币和国防一样,他们也使用同一面国旗。然而,他们也有不同之处。比如,英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰以及北爱尔兰都有着不同的教育体系和法律体系。他们也拥有自己的传统,像自己的国庆节和国菜。他们甚至有自己的足球队参加世界杯这样的(国际)赛事!
英国有着悠久而有趣的历史可供探索,这些历史可以帮助你更多地了解这个国家和它的传统。在英国,无论你走到何处,你几乎都会被来自四个不同群体的人留下的痕迹所包围,他们在不同的历史时期统治着英国。第一批是罗马人,于公元一世纪来到这里。他们的伟大功绩包括建设城镇和道路。接下来,是公元五世纪来到这里的盎格鲁—撒克逊人。他们带来了英语的开端,还改变了人们建造房屋的方式。维京人出现在八世纪,留下了许多新的词汇,也给英国许多地方赋予了名字。最后一批是诺曼人。他们在11世纪著名的黑斯廷斯战役后征服了英国。他们在英格兰各地建造了许多城堡,对法律体系进行了改革。诺曼人是法国人,所以许多法语单词慢慢地传入了英语。
有关英国有趣的历史和文化,需要学习的还有很多。研究这个国家的历史会让你的旅行更加愉悦。首都伦敦是一个很不错的起点,因为它是一个古老的港口城市,可追溯到罗马时代。这里有着无数的历史遗迹可以探索,还有许多博物馆收藏着来自英国各地的古代文物。英国是一个古老历史和现代文化交融的迷人国度,新旧传统兼而有之。如果你留心观察,你会惊奇地发现自己可以看到它的过去和现在。

In the letter she wrote,“You were the teacher who helped me discover my talent for math. Before you came to teach us,I had been terribly poor at math,and had never thought that I would be interested in it. To my surprise,you magically showed me the beauty of math. I guess that was the turning point of my attitude towards it. Gradually my interest in it began to grow. Thanks to your encouragement, I made continuous progress in math,and finally made up my mind to study it in the university. Today I am working as an accountant at Valley Medical Center in California. You played an important part. Thank you!”

名字有什么意义?
联合王国,大不列颠,不列颠,英格兰——许多人对这些不同名字的含义感到困惑。如果确有不同含义的话,那它们之间的区别是什么呢?了解一点英国历史将有助于你解开这个谜题。
16世纪,邻国威尔士加入英格兰王国。随后,18世纪,苏格兰并入,从而创建了大不列颠王国。19世纪,爱尔兰王国加入,形成了大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国。最后,在20世纪,爱尔兰南部脱离英国,最终形成了我们现在的英国全称:大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。大多数人只使用其简称:“联合王国”或“英国”。来自英国的人被称为“British(英国人)”,这意味着英国也经常被称为不列颠或大不列颠。
属于英国的这四个国家在某些领域携手并进。像拥有同样的货币和国防一样,他们也使用同一面国旗。然而,他们也有不同之处。比如,英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰以及北爱尔兰都有着不同的教育体系和法律体系。他们也拥有自己的传统,像自己的国庆节和国菜。他们甚至有自己的足球队参加世界杯这样的(国际)赛事!
英国有着悠久而有趣的历史可供探索,这些历史可以帮助你更多地了解这个国家和它的传统。在英国,无论你走到何处,你几乎都会被来自四个不同群体的人留下的痕迹所包围,他们在不同的历史时期统治着英国。第一批是罗马人,于公元一世纪来到这里。他们的伟大功绩包括建设城镇和道路。接下来,是公元五世纪来到这里的盎格鲁—撒克逊人。他们带来了英语的开端,还改变了人们建造房屋的方式。维京人出现在八世纪,留下了许多新的词汇,也给英国许多地方赋予了名字。最后一批是诺曼人。他们在11世纪著名的黑斯廷斯战役后征服了英国。他们在英格兰各地建造了许多城堡,对法律体系进行了改革。诺曼人是法国人,所以许多法语单词慢慢地传入了英语。
有关英国有趣的历史和文化,需要学习的还有很多。研究这个国家的历史会让你的旅行更加愉悦。首都伦敦是一个很不错的起点,因为它是一个古老的港口城市,可追溯到罗马时代。这里有着无数的历史遗迹可以探索,还有许多博物馆收藏着来自英国各地的古代文物。英国是一个古老历史和现代文化交融的迷人国度,新旧传统兼而有之。如果你留心观察,你会惊奇地发现自己可以看到它的过去和现在。

In the letter she wrote,“You were the teacher who helped me discover my talent for math. Before you came to teach us,I had been terribly poor at math,and had never thought that I would be interested in it. To my surprise,you magically showed me the beauty of math.

Thanks to your encouragement, I made continuous progress in math,and finally made up my mind to study it in the university. Today I am working as an accountant at Valley Medical Center in California. You played an important part. Thank you!”
