42、lantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Weatern civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Strmat Sea” ,a s

44、ggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly.

49、glish conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnson' s famous comment that Wtwo English meet, their first talk is of weather. "Though Johnson ' observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators

50、fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson, for ezample, concludes that,as the English weather is not at all exciting,the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that“ To an outsidemost striking thing about the English weather is that there

51、 is not very much of it.ly,the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.
