7、其内涵及相关评论，这样写作过程中才能做到“胸有成竹”，写出来的作文才“言之有物”。Part II Reading Comprehension( Skimming and Scanning )原文精译伦敦的娱乐买书( 1) 伦敦人很爱读书。【 1】他们平时买很多报纸，杂志，还有书籍，尤其是平装书， 印刷 成本日益增高的今天，平装书相对来说比较便宜。他们始终青睐“合宜”的书，如纸张好的硬皮书。(2) 伦敦许多街道的店铺，专卖书。【 2】最知名的当属伦敦市中心的 Charing Cross Roado 在 这里你可以找到大大小小、各种各样的书店，有最著名的书店，声称是世界上最大的书店， 也有狭 小脏

8、乱的小书屋，看起来似乎从 Dickens 年代遗留下来的。其中很多书店经营二手书， 涉及的领域 有艺术、国外作品、哲学、政治以及其他五花八门的话题，其中有个书店只卖关 于芭蕾的书籍！(3) Charing Cross Road 是伦敦人买书最方便的地方，却不是最便宜的。【 3 】如果想买 真正便宜的二手书，买家需要离开繁忙拥挤的街道，到伦敦东区Farringdon Road 的探险。 这里没有大型的书店，卖书者每天早晨来，把整麻袋书放在推车上，就在贫民区道旁。买家 , 有业余的，也有专业 的，一直在等他们，朝这些卖家奔去。这些地方，偶尔可以用几便士买 一本旧书，而其价值可能很 多英镑。夕o(4

9、) Charing Cross Road 和 Farringdon Road 都是买书的知名地点。但全伦敦都有书店， 也许 地方不太有名，但书同样多种多样，让人激动。这些书店营造出来的共鸣，让最忠诚的 买家感觉很 舒服。在这些书店，只是浏览书籍的人也会经常得到意想不到的快乐。事实上， 很容易就是在淘书 的过程中过完一生。享受时间，很多方式并没有搜书这么有乐趣！去剧院(5) 伦敦剧院到处都有：仅仅西区就超过 40 家，足以保证至少两到三场演出，可满 足 不同兴趣的观众，或严肃，或轻松。(6) 4 】有些是专业剧院，如 the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, 它

10、们主演歌剧和 皇家芭 蕾，这里可以听到世界上最伟大的歌剧演员的演出。英国国家歌剧公司入住伦敦大剧 场，鼓励歌剧 演员，特别是本土的演员，大部分的歌剧用英语表演，价位符合大众。(7) 有些剧院主要上演经典作品和严肃戏剧、轻喜剧、音乐剧。大部分剧院有自己的 个性， 老剧院如位于海马克特的 Theatre Royal ( 也叫做 Haymarket), 现代剧院如最近刚开 的巴比肯。国家剧 院在滑铁卢桥旁有三个独立剧院。在伦敦的 Barbican 中心 the Royal Shakespeare Company 落了脚， 其另一中心在艾冯河畔斯特拉特福。(8) 伦敦大部分老剧院都集中在一个小区域，在

11、皮卡迪利大街和莱斯特广场地铁之间。 【5】 晩间表演一般是晩上 7:30或8点开始，这个区在 7:15 到8点之间会有个小小的高峰 期。人们从附近的地铁蜂涌而出，人行道很拥挤，出租车、私家车想方设法停到位，把看剧 的人送 到剧场的入口处。表演结束后也是个小高峰期。伦敦的剧院很流行，想进去看一场成 功的表演并不 很容易。(9) 二战前，剧院表演开始的要晩一点，去看戏是很正式的一件事。现在，很少有人 特意为 看戏穿正装 ( 也就是说，穿正式的晚礼服 ) ，除非是第一次看或表演非常重要。【 6】 战争期间，表演 时间提前，直到现在也保持原样。目前的演出时间让吃饭成为相当棘手的问 题：需要早一点吃晚饭

12、 或晚间宵夜。剧院附近的饭店提供早一点的晚饭或晚上的夜宵，缓解 了这种情况。(10) 【 7】电视的普及和演出经费拮据致使很多剧院倒闭。但看起来最糟的情况已经结束，萧条一段时间之后，剧院开始复兴。有些大城镇没有专业剧院，但其他一些城镇如诺丁 汉、赫尔、 考文垂、纽卡斯尔，有很不错的公司，每一季都有一批演员表演一系列的戏剧。 有些城镇如奇切斯 特、爱丁堡的剧院，夏季会有演出季。即使在小城镇，过去几年内也已建 了 一批剧院来满足当地人 们的需求。英国音乐(11) 国王的品味是否反映了臣民的品味，这是值得商榷的。但，【8】下面这二个国王 却和自己的臣民共享音乐。理查德一世 ( 1157-1199),

13、 被称为“勇士”，谱曲，和乐师布隆德 尔一起演唱。 据说，他在奥地利坐监时，布隆德尔唱了一首只有他和国王知道的歌曲，国王 在秘密囚禁的城堡中 听到了这首曲子，山此布隆德尔找到了国王。亨利八世 (1491-1547), 虽因有六个妻子而臭名昭著，却是个优秀的乐师，他的一些曲子至今仍在传唱。维多利亚女王(1819-1901) 和丈夫阿尔伯特亲王以唱民谣为乐。伟大的作曲家和钢琴师菲利克斯 ?门德尔 松(1809-1847) 是宫廷中的常客，女王和王子唱歌 时，他在伴奏。(12) 【9】外国人不很了解英国人对音乐的热爱，可能因为知名的英国作曲家很少。最有名的是亨利 ?普赛尔 (1658-1695),

14、戏剧珀赛尔狄多与埃涅阿斯是个经典。献给普赛尔的进行曲” Lillibulero 让”人振奋，现在 BBC 把这个音乐用作海外新闻之前，据说唱的是“抛弃 三个王国的 詹姆斯二世 ”，1688 年他逃离了英国。爱德华 ?艾尔加爵士 (1857-1934) 因合唱和 管弦乐曲目而知名，其中一些作品因著名的小提琴家耶胡迪 ?梅纽因而更广为人知。本杰明 ?布 里顿(1913-1976), 作曲 非常具有个人特色，因戏剧作品彼得 ?格里姆斯和比利 ?巴德而举世闻名。拉尔夫 ?沃恩 ?威廉姆斯( 1872-1958)深受英国民间音乐的影响，比如他对老歌绿 袖子的改变 (很多人都认为这是 个民歌) 。近几年，

15、民间音乐复兴开来，全英国都有专业 表演组织。这个现象根植于塞西尔 ?夏普 (1859-1924) 的作品，他收集民间音乐和舞蹈。(13) 目前对音乐的关注表现在一百所夏季音乐学校的存在，这些学校满足各个级别的 音 乐者，从初学者到熟练的表演家。【10 】这些学校氛围友好，有的课程只有一个周末，也有课程持续三、四周，音乐种类众多，中世纪音乐、古典音乐、摇滚乐和流行音乐。奥尔德 堡，巴斯，切尔 腾纳姆等城镇有重要的音乐节，流行音乐节吸引成千上万人，尤其是年轻人。大城市有世界闻名的乐队，来自世界各国的伟大艺术家来英国表演。很多城镇都有军乐队， 乐手一般是矿工、当地的消 防队员，在英国音乐不仅仅是高雅
