People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle(城堡).They mean that the home is very important and personal.Most people in Britain live in houses 1 flats, and many people own their homes.This means that they can make them individual(个人的);They can 2 them and change them in any way they 3 .In a crowded city the individual knows that he or she has a private space which is 4 for himself or herself and for 5 friends.
People usually like to mark their space.Are you sitting now in your home or in a beach or a train?If you are on the beach you may have spread your 6 around you; on the train you may have 7 your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was traveling on a 8 to London.I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us.The man on the 9 side to me had his briefcase on the table.There was no 10 on my side of the table at all.I was made rather 11 .I thought he thought that he owned the 12 table.I took various papers out of my bag and put them on 13 !When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.I had invaded(侵犯)his space!A few minutes later I took my papers 14 his case in order to read them.He immediately 15 his case to his side of the table.(Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!)
