【知識鏈接】
1. UK英國。
全稱為United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland(大不列顛及北愛爾蘭聯(lián)合王國)。歐洲西部到過。國土由大不列顛島全部、愛爾蘭島東北部及周圍的5500多個小島組成,分為英格蘭、威爾士、蘇格蘭和北愛爾蘭四個地區(qū)。
2. The River Thames泰晤士河。
泰晤士河發(fā)源于英格蘭西南部,向東流經(jīng)倫敦注入北海,是英國境內(nèi)最長也是最重要的水路。這條河流的名稱取自凱爾特語的一個單詞,意思是“寬闊的河流”。在倫敦上游,泰晤士河沿岸有許多名勝之地,諸如伊頓、牛津、亨利和溫莎等,而在倫敦下游則多商船,其繁忙與以靜態(tài)之美著稱的上游河道形成鮮明對比。
3. Great Britain大不列顛(島),又稱不列顛,包括英格蘭、威爾士、蘇格蘭三個部分,以及周圍的一些小島。
4.The Romes 古羅馬人。公元前八世紀,古羅馬人建立了強大的中央集權(quán)制國家。公元前58年以后的八年間,羅馬統(tǒng)帥凱撒率領(lǐng)大軍征服了外高盧(如今的法國、比利時等)后,又占領(lǐng)了不列顛島北部。此后,古羅馬的文明傳入了不列顛。
5. The Anglo-Saxons 盎格魯-撒克遜人。原住在萊茵河流域,屬于日耳曼人的部落。公元5至7世紀,盎格魯-撒克遜人入侵不列顛東南部,把凱爾特人排擠到西北部山地。后與入侵的諾曼人經(jīng)幾個世紀融合形成英格蘭人。英語即以盎格魯-撒克遜語為基礎(chǔ),吸收諾曼語和古法蘭西語的成分而形成?,F(xiàn)在的英格蘭人約占全國人口的80%以上。
6. The Vikings北歐斯堪的納維亞人。大約八世紀入侵不列顛,來自于北歐的挪威、丹麥。
7. The Normans諾曼人。原住北歐,于11世紀后期入侵不列顛。諾曼人此前曾長期在法國西北部停留,語言、文化上有濃厚的法蘭西色彩。他們打敗了盎格魯-撒克遜人,因此諾曼人當(dāng)時的首領(lǐng)被稱為“征服者威廉”。此人后加冕為英格蘭的威廉一世國王,直到現(xiàn)在,英國王室都承襲著他的血統(tǒng)。
