10、了番茄酱或者芝士调料的薯条和一大块煎鱼。其实最有意思的就是这种鱼和薯条的包装了,尤其是在路上吃的时候，它们不是装在盘子里,而是用报纸包起来。听说在英国，最早选用包薯条的报纸一定是当天的泰晤士报,这样就可以一边吃着炸鱼一边看报纸了。还有一种食品叫做“皮夹克土豆(Jacket Potato)”。之所以叫做“皮夹克土豆”，是因为土豆是带皮烤熟的。烤好的土豆带着皮，颜色鲜黄，香气四溢，十分诱人，看上去就像是人穿了漂亮的夹克衫一样。把熟的土豆一切两半，底部不要切开，在里面就可以如同夹汉堡一样夹入各种蔬菜沙拉，干酪，沙丁鱼和调料，然后用勺子舀着吃。,3.英国人见面爱谈“天” 牛津大学（ Oxford Un

11、iversity ）的约翰逊博士（ Dr. Johnson ）说：“两个英国人见面的第一句话就是谈天气。”可能一个说：“ Its a fine day today, isnt it ? ” 另一个回答：“ Yes, its fine and we dont have many fine days, do we? ” 对天气的简短评论成了熟人之间互相致意的客套话。 据说著名剧作家、幽默大师萧伯纳（ George Bernard Shaw ）一天下午在街上散步，迎面走来一位老先生。 老先生对他说：“ Good afternoon, Mr Shaw! Its such a lovely day, i

12、snt it? ” 萧伯纳幽默地回答：“ Oh, yes. But twenty people have told （已经告诉） me about it in past two hours. Thank you. ”,为什么英国人见面喜欢谈天气呢？ 原因有二：一是英国人性格内向，不喜欢表露自己的感情，不爱讲个人私事，于是只好“谈天”。二是英国天气变化无常，气候之恶劣世界闻名。苏格兰东北部晴日只占全年的五分之一，雾雨冰雪天经常可见。在英格兰连续三星期不下雨的情况极少见，一年之中有半年是断断续续的阴雨天，伦敦更是一天当中就有春夏秋冬四季变化，所以在“谈天气”时，人们极少赞扬，一般总是抱怨。 伦敦是

13、有名的“雾都”。每年秋冬季节，伦敦地区大雾弥漫，伸手不见五指，白昼犹如黑夜。近 20 年来，由于重视环境保护，冬季出现浓雾的现象已大大减少。但在夏季晴和的好天气中还时有薄薄的雾霜，这主要是岛国的潮气所致。为此，英国战前首相阿瑟内维尔张伯伦（ Arthur Neville Chamberlain ）一年四季雨伞不离手，在国内外曾传为趣闻。,who can tell us why British like talking about weather when they meet others?,One day, a Chinese student 1 Sun Huaqiang went to st
