簡(jiǎn)史:公元前地中海伊比利亞人,比克人,凱爾特人,先后來到不列顛。1-5世紀(jì)英格蘭東南部為羅馬帝國(guó)統(tǒng)治。羅馬人撤走后,歐洲北部的盎格魯人、薩克遜人、朱特人相繼入侵并定居。7世紀(jì)開始形成封建制度,許多小國(guó)并成七個(gè)王國(guó),爭(zhēng)雄達(dá)200年之久,稱“盎格魯—撒克遜時(shí)代”。829年威塞克斯國(guó)王愛格伯特統(tǒng)一了英格蘭。8世紀(jì)末遭丹麥人侵襲,1016年至1042年為丹麥海盜帝國(guó)的一部分。其后經(jīng)英王短期統(tǒng)治,1066年諾曼底公爵渡海征服英格蘭。1215年約翰王被迫簽署大憲章,王權(quán)遭抑制。1338年至1453 年英法進(jìn)行“百年戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)”,英國(guó)先勝后敗。1588年擊敗西班牙“無敵艦隊(duì)”,樹立海上霸權(quán)。1640年爆發(fā)資產(chǎn)階級(jí)革命。1649年5月19日宣布為共和國(guó)。1660年王朝復(fù)辟,1668年發(fā)生“光榮革命”,確定了君主立憲制。1707年英格蘭與蘇格蘭合并,1801年又與愛爾蘭合并。18世紀(jì)后半葉至19世紀(jì)上半葉,成為世界上第一個(gè)完成工業(yè)革命的國(guó)家。19世紀(jì)是大英帝國(guó)的全盛時(shí)期,1914年占有的殖民地比本土大111倍,是第一殖民大國(guó),自稱“日不落帝國(guó)”。第一次世界大戰(zhàn)后開始衰敗。英國(guó)于1920年設(shè)立北愛蘭郡,并于1921年至1922年允許愛爾蘭南部脫離其統(tǒng)治,成立獨(dú)立國(guó)家。1931年頒布威斯敏斯特法案,被迫承認(rèn)其自治領(lǐng)在內(nèi)政、外交上獨(dú)立自主,大英帝國(guó)殖民體系從此動(dòng)搖。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力大為削弱,政治地位下降。隨著1947年印度和巴基斯坦的相繼獨(dú)立,到60年代,英帝國(guó)殖民體系瓦解。1973年1月加入歐共體。

政治:英國(guó)的憲法不同于絕大多數(shù)國(guó)家的憲法,并不是一個(gè)獨(dú)立的文件,它是由成文法、習(xí)慣法、慣例組成。主要有大憲章(1215年)、人身保護(hù)法(1679年)、權(quán)利法案(1689年)、議會(huì)法(1911、1949年)以及歷次修改的選舉法、市自治法、郡議會(huì)法等。蘇格蘭另有自己獨(dú)立的法律體系。政體為君主立憲制。國(guó)王是國(guó)家元首、最高司法長(zhǎng)官、武裝部隊(duì)總司令和英國(guó)圣公會(huì)的“最高領(lǐng)袖”,形式上有權(quán)任免首相、各部大臣、高級(jí)法官、軍官、各屬地的總督、外交官、主教及英國(guó)圣公會(huì)的高級(jí)神職人員等,并有召集、停止和解散議會(huì),批準(zhǔn)法律,宣戰(zhàn)媾和等權(quán)力,但實(shí)權(quán)在內(nèi)閣。議會(huì)是最高司法和立法機(jī)構(gòu),由國(guó)王、上院和下院組成。上院(貴族院)包括王室后裔、世襲貴族、新封貴族、上訴法院法官和教會(huì)大主教及主教組成。1999年11月,上院改革法案通過,除102名留任外,600多名世襲貴族失去上院議員資格,非政治任命的上院議員將由專門的皇家委員會(huì)推薦。下院也叫平民院,議員由普選產(chǎn)生,采取最多票當(dāng)選的小選區(qū)選舉制度,任期5年。但政府可決定提前大選。政府實(shí)行內(nèi)閣制,由女王任命在議會(huì)選舉中獲多數(shù)席位的政黨領(lǐng)袖出任首相并組閣,向議會(huì)負(fù)責(zé)。

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.

英國(guó)旅游英文的介紹?。?!哪位達(dá)人幫幫我,小的銀子奉上??!
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.
