The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. 当然，伦敦是世界上最多元文化的城市。城市是由罗马人建立以来，新来港定居人士不断增加其性质和繁荣。 Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English, but all of them will be Londoners.10年内40%的伦敦人来自少数民族群体，包括越来越多的混合种族出身的伦敦人，但他们中的大多数已在英国出生的。加勒比和中国婚姻的儿童会和俄罗斯爱尔兰夫妇的儿童去学校。他们中没有人是英国人，但他们都将是伦敦人。Most of Britains ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London.英国的大多数少数民族居民住在首都，说超过300种语言。几乎所有的非洲人口和许多加勒比海英国人口居住在伦敦（83%和58%）；英国的中国人口39%，36%的亚裔人口居住在伦敦，英国。最大的移民社区是从爱尔兰共和国，256000人，总人口是伦敦的3.8%。There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.估计有330000难民和寻求庇护者生活在伦敦，与最近来自东欧，非洲北部和库尔德斯坦的移民。 Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds, and their friends and partners do also. They are “skilled cross-cultural travellers” without leaving their home-town.年轻人，特别的，擅长处理大量不同的混合文化
