Leisure and Private Life in England
英国的个人休闲生活
在英国,工厂的假日都集中在七月中旬到八月中旬这段时间。英国人喜欢旅游,你知道他们一般到什么地方旅游,又是怎么去旅游的吗?
In England,factory holidays are much concentrated in the period between mid- July and mid-August.State schools usually only have six weeks off in summer,from about mid-July to the end of August.
The coast is the most popular objective of English people for their annual holiday,but there are few new seaside hotels.Food in British hotels and restaurants is reasonably cheap, but rooms are not.Few English people rent houses or flats for their holidays,but one of the traditional ways of spending a summer holiday is in a boarding house.Some boarding-house keepers provide all meals for their guests.Others provide breakfast only.
The British may be conservative about the times at which they take their holidays,but they have shown themselves very ready to take to new places.They have always been pioneers in traveling far away, and Englishmen were among the first to climb many of the great Alpine summits.Now foreign travel is within reach of most working people,and each year more English men,women and children become familiar with some part of continental Europe.Many take their cars,often with tents,crossing the Channel by ferry;others use the travel agents’ plans for group travel. When they get home again,they talk endlessly of how they spent their leisure and private life.
