名为何物?

联合王国、大不列颠、英国、英格兰-这些不同的名称是何意思，许多人感到困惑。那么，如果这些名称有区别的话，区别何在?稍微了解一下英国历史，就可以帮助你解开这个谜题。十六世纪时，邻国威尔士并入英格兰王国。随后，苏格兰在十八世纪也加入进来，从而诞生了大不列颠王国。十九世纪时，爱尔兰王国加人，组成了大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国。最后，在二十世纪时，爱尔兰南部脱离了联合王国，形成了今天的英国全称:大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。大多数人只是使用简称:“联合王国”。联合王国的人被称为“英国人”，这意味着联合王国也经常被称为英国或大不列颠。

同属于联合王国的这四个国家在某些领域紧密合作。像拥有同样的货币和国防一样，他们也使用同一面国旗。然而，它们之间仍有诸多区别。例如，英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰及北爱尔兰实行不同的教育和法律制度。它们也有各自的传统，比如有自己的国庆节和本国菜肴。它们甚至拥有自己的足球队，出征诸如“世界杯”之类的赛事!

英国历史源远流长、别有趣味，等待你去探索，帮助你更加深入地了解这一国家及其传统。英国历史上有四个不同民族在不同历史时期执掌这个国家。无论你身处英国何方，这些民族的遗迹都随处可见。第一族群是古罗马人，于公元一世纪进入英国。罗马人的伟大成就在于他们建立了城镇、修建了道路。之后是盎格鲁一撒克逊人，于公元五世纪到达英国。他们引入了英语的雏形，并改变了人们建造房屋的方式。维京人于公元八世纪到来，留下了诸多新的词汇，并给英国境内的许多地方命名。最后一个是诺曼人。十一世纪著著名的黑斯廷斯战役之后，诺曼人征服了英格兰，四处修建城堡，并改革了法律制度。诺曼人即为法去国人，许多法语单词因此慢慢进入了英语。

英国的历史文化引人入胜，可学之处比比皆是。学习这个国家的历史，你的英国之旅将更为愉快。以首都伦敦为第一站，是个不错的选择。伦敦是一个古老的港口城市，其历史可以追溯到罗马时代。市内可供游览的历史遗址数不胜数，还有许多博物馆陈列着来自英国各地的文物。在英国，历史与现代文化交融，新旧传统并存，引人入胜。用心去观察，英国的过去与现在都将展示在你面前，令你叹为观止。LearningobjectivesInthisclass,wewillFigureoutthemainideaofeachparagraph;LearnaboutthehistoryandtraditionsoftheUK;Discussandexpressyourownideasonthegiventopic.GreatBritain?theUnitedKingdom?
