22 Sightseeing in the United Kingdom 22 观光联合王国 After the wedding, my cousin and his wife went to the United Kingdom for nationwide sightseeing. 在举办了婚礼后我的表弟和他妻子到联合王国做了全国旅游观光。 He faxed a letter to me in English yesterday. To my delight, he no longer made any tense error. 他昨天传真了一封英文信给我。让我高兴的是，他再也不犯时态错误了。 And his description roughly clarified my questions about the UK-- 而且他的描述也粗略地向我阐明了关于英国的一些问题——— its currency, its administration, the institution which divides it into four provinces, 它的货币，行政管理，把它分成四个行政区的制度， and the historical conflicts and quarrels when Southern Ireland broke away from the UK. 还有在南爱尔兰脱离联合王国时发生的一些历史上的冲突和争拗。 Unwilling to leave out any attraction, my cousin arranged his enjoyable journey carefully. 因为不愿意漏掉任何一个景点，我表弟仔细地安排了他愉快的旅程。 One attractive place he visited was a castle in the countryside of Scotland, which lies near a port. 他参观的其中一个迷人的地方是苏格兰乡村的一个城堡，该城堡靠近一座港口。 It used to be the headquarters of the Communism Union but broke down during the war. 它曾经是 gong 产主义联盟会的总部，但是在战争中倒塌了。 Finding nothing could take the place of this splendid architecture, people accomplished rebuilding it in 1952. 人们发现没有任何东西可以取代这座辉煌的建筑，于是在 1952 年完成了重建。 It was to their credit that all furnished rooms are consistent with what they used to be. 值得称赞的是，所有配备家具的房间都和它们过去是一致的。 My cousin was thrilled by its collections consisting of statues plus royal uniforms folded in glass tanks. 由雕像加折叠在玻璃柜里的皇家制服组成的收藏品使我表弟震撼不已。 Though there was no possibility to buy some of these exhibits, it was convenient to take photos, which he sent me along with his fax. 尽管没有可能购买其中的一些展览品，拍照却很方便，他在传真中一起发给了我。 Vocabulary 词汇表 (1) wedding / w d / 婚礼 (10) roughly / r fli/ 大致上，粗略地 (2) the United Kingdom / ju na t d (11) clarify / kl r fa / 澄清，阐明 k d m/ （大不列颠）联合王国 (12) currency / k r nsi/ 货币，通货 (3) nationwide / ne n wa d/ 全国范围的 (13) administration / d m n stre n/ 管理， (4) sightseeing / sa t si / 观光，观光旅游 行政 (5) fax /f ks/ 传真 (14) institution / nst tju n/ 机构，团体 (6) delight /d la t/ 高兴，愉快 (15) divide A into /d va d e ntu / 把 A 分成 (7) tense /t ns/ 紧张的 (16) province / prɑv ns/ 省份，地区 (8) error / r r/ 错误 (17) conflict / kɑnfl kt/ 冲突，争执 (9) description /d skr p n/ 描述，描绘 (18) quarrel / kw r l/ 争吵，口角 6 (19) break away from /bre k we fr m/ 脱 (33) accomplish / kɑmpl / 完成，达成 离，摆脱 (34) to one’s credit /tu w nz kr d t/ 值得赞 (20) unwilling / n w l / 不愿意的 扬的 (21) leave out /liv a t/ 遗漏，省略 (35) furnish / f rn / 布置（家具） (22) arrange / re nd / 安排，筹备 (36) consistent /k n s st nt/ 一致的，符合的 (23) enjoyable / n d bl/ 令人愉快的 (37) thrill /θr l/ 兴 ... ...
