有什么描写伦敦的英语文章？

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

英国首都--伦敦The British capital is more eclectic and electric than it's been in years. There's almost a feeding（渐渐增强的）frenzy（狂热）setting out to prove that London is the most pulsating （搏动的；悸动的）, vibrant （充满生气的）city on the planet, even rivaling New York for sheer energy, outrageous art, trendy restaurants, and a nightlife equal to none（无与伦比的）. Newsweek hailed London as a "hip （时髦，时尚）compromise between the nonstop newness of Los Angeles and the aspic-preserved （这里指固定的，不变的）beauty of Paris--sharpened to New York's edge." Wine Spectator proclaims more modestly that "The sun is shining brighter in London these days."Experimental theater is taking over stages that were built for Shakespeare's plays; and upstart（暴富的）chefs are reinventing the bland dishes British mums made for generations into a new and inventive cuisine; for the first time ever, Brits （英国人）are even running the couture houses （高级服装店）of Dior and Givenchy. In food, fashion, film, pop music, the visual arts, and just about everything else, London stands at the cutting edge again, just as it did in the 1960s.However traditional London still lives, basically intact（原封不动的；未受损伤的). From high tea at Brown's to the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, the city abounds with the culture and charm of days gone by. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, St. Paul's Cathedral is the symbolic heart of London. Discovering London and making it your own can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you have just a little time. Even in the 18th century, Daniel Defoe found London "stretched out in buildings, straggling（蔓延）, confused, out of all shape; neither long nor broad, round nor square." The City of London proper （真正的伦敦城）

Answer 2

Location: On the Thames River, southeast England Language: English Currency: Pound sterling (), made up of 100 pence (p) Notes: 5, 10, 20 (rarely used: 1, 50, 100) Coins: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, 1, 2 (rarely used: 5) Should you tip? In England's restaurants, there is sometimes a "discretionary" service charge added to the bill. When there is no extra charge, tips of 10%-15% are expected, unless the service is particularly poor. Bartenders at pubs do not expect a tip, but are happy to receive one. Some tour guides expect a tip, though it is not obligatory. Taxi drivers generally get a tip of about 10%; many simply round the fare up to the nearest . 参考资料： www.answers.com

London, capital of Great Britain, SE England, on both sides of the Thames River. Greater London (1991 pop. 6,378,600), c.620 sq mi (1,610 sq km), consists of the Corporation of the City of London (1991 pop. 4,000), usually called the City, plus 32 boroughs. The City is the old city of London and is the modern city's commercial center; it is also referred to as the “Square Mile” because of its area. The 12 inner boroughs that surround the City are Westminster, Camden, Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Greenwich, Lewisham, Southwark, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea. The 20 outer boroughs are Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Havering, Barking and Dagenham, Newham, Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Sutton, Merton, Kingston upon Thames, Richmond upon Thames, Hounslow, Hillingdon, Ealing, Brent, Harrow, Barnet, Haringey, and Enfield. Greater London includes the area of the former county of London, most of the former county of Middlesex, and areas that were formerly in Surrey, Kent, Essex, and Hertfordshire. Each of the boroughs of Greater London elects a council.
The Greater London Council administered the larger London area until 1986, when it was abolished by the Thatcher government, making London unique as a world metropolis without a central governing unit. In 1999 the Greater London Authority Act reestablished a single local governing body for the Greater London area, consisting of an elected mayor and the London Assembly. Elections were held in 2000, and Ken Livingstone became London's first elected mayor.
