简史：公元前地中海伊比利亚人，比克人，凯尔特人，先后来到不列颠。1－5世纪英格兰东南部为罗马帝国统治。罗马人撤走后，欧洲北部的盎格鲁人、萨克逊人、朱特人相继入侵并定居。7世纪开始形成封建制度，许多小国并成七个王国，争雄达200年之久，称“盎格鲁—撒克逊时代”。829年威塞克斯国王爱格伯特统一了英格兰。8世纪末遭丹麦人侵袭，1016年至1042年为丹麦海盗帝国的一部分。其后经英王短期统治，1066年诺曼底公爵渡海征服英格兰。1215年约翰王被迫签署大宪章，王权遭抑制。1338年至1453 年英法进行“百年战争”，英国先胜后败。1588年击败西班牙“无敌舰队”，树立海上霸权。1640年爆发资产阶级革命。1649年5月19日宣布为共和国。1660年王朝复辟，1668年发生“光荣革命”，确定了君主立宪制。1707年英格兰与苏格兰合并，1801年又与爱尔兰合并。18世纪后半叶至19世纪上半叶，成为世界上第一个完成工业革命的国家。19世纪是大英帝国的全盛时期，1914年占有的殖民地比本土大111倍，是第一殖民大国，自称“日不落帝国”。第一次世界大战后开始衰败。英国于1920年设立北爱兰郡，并于1921年至1922年允许爱尔兰南部脱离其统治，成立独立国家。1931年颁布威斯敏斯特法案，被迫承认其自治领在内政、外交上独立自主，大英帝国殖民体系从此动摇。第二次世界大战中经济实力大为削弱，政治地位下降。随着1947年印度和巴基斯坦的相继独立，到60年代，英帝国殖民体系瓦解。1973年1月加入欧共体。

伦 敦 大 本 钟

政治：英国的宪法不同于绝大多数国家的宪法，并不是一个独立的文件，它是由成文法、习惯法、惯例组成。主要有大宪章（1215年）、人身保护法（1679年）、权利法案（1689年）、议会法（1911、1949年）以及历次修改的选举法、市自治法、郡议会法等。苏格兰另有自己独立的法律体系。政体为君主立宪制。国王是国家元首、最高司法长官、武装部队总司令和英国圣公会的“最高领袖”，形式上有权任免首相、各部大臣、高级法官、军官、各属地的总督、外交官、主教及英国圣公会的高级神职人员等，并有召集、停止和解散议会，批准法律，宣战媾和等权力，但实权在内阁。议会是最高司法和立法机构，由国王、上院和下院组成。上院（贵族院）包括王室后裔、世袭贵族、新封贵族、上诉法院法官和教会大主教及主教组成。1999年11月，上院改革法案通过，除102名留任外，600多名世袭贵族失去上院议员资格，非政治任命的上院议员将由专门的皇家委员会推荐。下院也叫平民院，议员由普选产生，采取最多票当选的小选区选举制度，任期5年。但政府可决定提前大选。政府实行内阁制，由女王任命在议会选举中获多数席位的政党领袖出任首相并组阁，向议会负责。

政党：（1）工党（Labour Party）：执政党。1900年成立，原名劳工代表委员会，1906年改用现名。该党曾于1945－1951年，1964－1970年，1974－1979年上台执政。1997年大选获胜，2001年6月大选后蝉联执政。工党近年来更多倾向于中产阶级的利益，与工会关系有所疏远。布莱尔当选工党领袖后，政治上提出“新工党、新英国”的口号，取消党章中有关公有制的第� �条款，经济上主张减少政府干预，严格控制公共开支，保持宏观经济稳定增长，建立现代福利制度。对外主张积极参与国际合作，对欧洲一体化持积极态度，主张加入欧元，主张同美国保持特殊关系。现有党员近40万名，是英国第一大党。（2）保守党（Conservative Party): 主要反对党。前身为1679年成立的托利党，1833年改称现名。该党从1979至1997年4次连续执政，成为20世纪在英国占主导地位的政党。在1997年5月和2001年6月两次大选中惨败于工党。保守党的支持者一般来自企业界和富裕阶层，主张自由市场经济。通过严格控制货币供应量和减少公共开支等措施来压低通货膨胀。主张限制工会权利，加强“法律”和“秩序”。 近年来，提出实行“富有同情心的保守主义”，关注教育、医疗、贫困等社会问题。强调维护英国主权，反对“联邦欧洲”，反对加入欧元，主张建立“大西洋共同体”以加强英美特殊关系。强调北约仍是英国安全与防务的基石。现有党员30多万名。（3）自由民主党(The Liberal Democrat Party)：1988年3月由原自由党和社会民主党内支持同自由党合并的多数派组成。主张继续维持与工党的合作关系，推动工党在地方选举及下院选举中实行比例代表制，在公共服务、社会公正、环境保护等问题上采取比工党更“进步”的政策。现有党员约10万名，是英国第三大党。此外，英国其他政党还有：苏格兰民族党 (Scottish National Party)、威尔士民族党 (Plaid Cymru) 以及北爱尔兰一些政党如：北爱尔兰统一党(Ulster Unionist Party)、民主统一党 (Democratic Unionist Party) 、社会民主工党 (Social Democratic and Labour Party)、新芬党 (Sinn Fein) 等。

司法：有三种不同的法律体系：英格兰和威尔士实行普通法系，苏格兰实行民法法系，北爱尔兰实行与英格兰相似的法律制度。司法机构分民事法庭和刑事法庭两个系统。在英格兰和威尔士，民事审理机构按级分为郡法院、高等法院、上诉法院民事庭、上院。刑事审理机构按级分为地方法院、刑事法院、上诉法院刑事庭、上院。英国最高司法机关为上院，它是民、刑案件的最终上诉机关。1986年成立皇家检察院，隶属于国家政府机关，负责受理所有的由英格兰和威尔士警察机关提交的刑事诉讼案。总检察长和副总检察长是英政府的主要法律顾问并在某些国内和国际案件中代表王室。

经济： 英国是发达的资本主义国家。其国内生产总值在西方国家中居前列。英国制造业在国民经济中的比重有所下降，仍占领导地位；服务业和能源所占的比重不断增大，其中商业、金融业和保险业发展较快。

Introduction United Kingdom Top of Page

Background:

Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to wrangling over the peace process.

英国旅游英文的介绍啊！！哪位达人帮帮我，小的银子奉上！！

This has always been a most remarkable country. From its ancient beginnings with the Celtic tribes about 3,000 years ago through the colonization by the Romans in 42 AD to the present, Britain has enjoyed one of the world's most interesting and colorful histories. The variety of life throughout England, Scotland and Wales as well as Northern Ireland makes for new and memorable experiences in each and every visit.

Capital: London

Population: 59,000,000

Area: 94, 500 square miles

Language: English

Time: +5 Hours from New York

Electricity: 220 volts/ 50 Hz (many hotels have 110 plugs for American shavers)

Geography: The country is surrounded by water except along the Northern Ireland / Republic of Ireland border. The country is as varied as its weather which is due largely to its geography. Scotland is mostly mountainous in the northern areas and mostly a plains area in the south. Northern England is quite hilly and flat for the rest of the area. Wales is almost entirely mountainous except for the coastline.

International Airports

London - Heathrow (LHR) The airport is about 16 miles from London's West end. It takes about 45 minutes by cab or the Underground. A new train from Paddington station takes only 15 minutes and also operates every 20 minutes and connect to Terminals 3 and 4. Busses and taxis are plentiful. There is bus service from Heathrow to most major centers of the country including rail connecting points.

London - Gatwick Airport (LGW) -The airport is about 25 miles from central London and is connected primarily by a train which takes about 35 minutes. The train operates every 20 minutes during the day. Bus service is very slow and not advised. Taxis are also slow and expensive from this far out from London. Passengers alighting from the Gatwick Train at the end of their journey at Victoria Station have many taxis waiting for them and also the complete transport system of London.

Birmingham - Birmingham International (BHX) - This is an extremely well laid out airport next to the Birmingham Exposition Centre. Train service from downtown is frequent and some bus service exists. Taxis are plentiful. Train service is available to all parts of the UK from the airport. Travel time by train is about 12 minutes.

Manchester - Manchester International Airport (MAN - The airport is about 15 miles from the city and is most easily accessible by train which operates about every 20 minutes during the day. Bus and taxi service is available.

Glasgow - Glasgow Airport (GLA) - The airport is about 12 miles from the city. Bus and taxi service is available.

Edinburgh - Edinburgh Airport (EDI) - The airport is located about 8 miles from the city center. Taxi and bus service available.

Tipping: A service charge is usually added to the bill which amounts to 10% in restaurants. If you do not see this on the bill, leave a tip. Otherwise just leave small change.

Shopping: Shops and stores are open 9 am to 5:30 pm daily except Sundays. This is a country of antiques and they are everywhere. Woolens and linens are quite good as well as the Wedgwood, Royal Doulton china and porcelain. Clothing is also very good with the abundance of Harris Tweeds and various cottons and silks.

Food and Drink: Britain is the crossroads of the Commonwealth and so every imaginable cuisine is available here - especially in London. Puddings in England and Wales and various Scottish specialties in the north are very interesting. Pubs are a focal point of communities and are a source of excellent and inexpensive food. Beverages here are not limited to those enriched with alcohol but all sorts of family oriented beverages.

Social: The British are not stuffy, only historical portrayals of them. Most are very down to earth and extremely engaging and willing to help the traveler along the way. If anything, they will want to discover more of the 'colonies' in conversations with you. You will also discover that the English, Scots and Welsh as well as the No rthern Irish are very different people as may be found in different parts of North America.

Business: Business culture has changed sharply. Position is no longer engrained into society but a new term called "meritocracy" which has revolutionized the social, political and economic morays of Britain. This is reflected tremendously in business affairs. Three piece suits, umbrellas and bowler hats have disappeared and have been replaced with smartly dressed figures who are bright, energetic and quite knowledgeable in their fields. Business appointments and business cards are essential.

Banking: Banks are usually open from 9:30 am to 4 pm weekdays. A few branches are open on Saturdays.

Currency: The British Pound

Money Exchange: This is fairly easy to do anywhere, but be mindful that travelers checks are not readily accepted unless they are in UK pounds. Best place to exchange currency is at the banks. Be extremely careful about changing currency at small kiosks. You may get a very good exchange rate only to be socked by a very high commission or service charge or no commission and a very poor rate or worst of all poor rates and high commission. Banks are the best.

Credit cards: Visa, Master Card, American Express and Diners Club are well known.

The country has a varied climate ranging from subtropical in the southwest to cold and rainy in the northwest of Scotland. The country has its share of rain which can fall at any time. Scotland's northwest is the wettest area of the country. The southeast is quite sunny and tends to have the overall greatest amount of sun. The southwest is the mildest.

Destination: England

In England's North Country you’ll find the scenic splendour of lakes and mountains, castles, dramatic coastlines and glorious National Parks, combined with the medieval city of York, lively Blackpool and Manchester, world renowned for its football.

Travel south and you'll see a gentler landscape; quiet country lanes and inland waterways, the shimmering fenlands of the east coast and Stratford, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the university city of Cambridge.

Continue south of London and the area boasts glorious gardens, oast houses and stately homes whilst, the southern coast has an enviable reputation for its beaches and resorts, historic market towns, and the charming cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury, close to Stonehenge.

To the South West of London, the West Country offers great surfing off the craggy Cornwall coast, picturesque thatched cottage villages in the Cotswolds, cider from Somerset and delicious Devon cream teas.

Destination: The East of England

There are so many places to go and things to see in the East of England you'll find it hard to fit it all in! Each of the region's counties has its very own unique character and all of them have a wealth of places to explore and treasures to discover. Step into the East of England and you step into a subtly different world. Senses are somehow heightened beneath the great wide skies that arch above the area due to its flat landscape.

It's England as you like it - the perfect mix of soft and gentle countryside, ancient cities, stately homes and gardens, charming towns, storybook villages, bird-reserved beaches and old-fashioned seaside fun. And all with that special additive - so very unique to the East of England - a very quirky individuality. In Stilton, Cambridgeshire, they roll cheeses down the street. At Grimston, Norfolk, they race snails on the cricket pitch for prizes. And at Great Dunmow, Essex, they have a mock trial, complete with a bewigged judge, to find a couple who 'haven't had a brawl for the last 12 months and a day'. Delightfully different!

There are ghosts galore throughout the region. At Blickling Hall, Norfolk, it's not just the horseman that is headless - but the horses, too, along with poor Ann Boleyn who sits with her head on her lap. On the Norfolk Broads there's a phantom skater and a ghost wherry. And at Dunwich, Suffolk, now lost beneath the waves, you can listen for the church bells of a huge and prosperous town.

Follies are a favourite in the eccentric East. You'll find all shapes and sizes from the giant rotunda of 18th century Ickworth House to the House in the Clouds on the Suffolk Coast - a former water tower converted into a unique holiday home. And then there are those other oddities - like the huge Tudor Dovecote at Willington in Bedfordshire, where there are also remains of a Viking harbour down by the river. And to get really confused - try and puzzle out the ancient earth maze at Saffron Walden, Essex. Or how they built the Mathematical Bridge in Cambridge without any nails.

Like the rest of England, the Heart of England is charmingly individual, but the bonus is that the Heart of England is at the hub of Britain’s road network, so exploring every last bit of it is made very easy! You don’t have to fly into London because there is the international airport at Birmingham right in the centre of the region. Birmingham is also now able to offer a world-class cultural scene, superb shopping, top attractions, fantastic nightlife, major international events and exhibitions

Take some time to visit the Cotswolds, taking in the many honey-coloured villages. The potteries of Staffordshire to the north of the region are juxtaposed with Shakespeare’s Stratford-on-Avon and the nearby lesser-known parts of Warwickshire. Close by lies the Black Country, and a visit here will reveal a rich seam of art, crafts, tradition and culture with modern architectural design sitting alongside villages from the Victorian era.

Explore the counties of Herefordshire and Shropshire along the beautiful borderlands of England and Wales, sampling the myriad of excellent restaurants and locally produced food. Don’t forget to discover the real taste of the countryside in Herefordshire’s famous cider.
