morning

to
the
City
of
London.
She
wanted
to
see
St.
Paul's
Cathedral.

see so many Englishmen
who looked alike. They were
all
wearing dark
suits
and
bowler
hats.
They
were
all
carrying umbrellas and
newspapers.
When
she
returned
home
she
asked
Mr
clark
about
these
strange
creatures.
and seen photographs of
them. They all look as if they are wearing a
uniform. Does
the typical English
gentleman still exist?
Mr. Clark
laughed.
that many of the men who work
in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I
suppose
they
are
typical
Englishmen.
But
look
at
this.
Mr.
Clark
picked
up
a
magazine
and pointed at a photo
of a young man.
if
there
is
no
such
thing
as
a
'typical'
Englishman.
Do
you
know
the
English
saying
'It
takes
all
kinds
to
make
a
world'?
That's
true
of all
countries-including
England.
“
Oh, just like the poem
‘
If All the Seas Were One Sea
’
,
”
Gretel began to
hum happily. If all the seas
were one sea, what a great sea that would be! If
all
the trees were one tree, what a
great tree that would be! And if this tree were to
fall in the sea, w
hat a great splash that would be!”

【原文】
John
is
British
but
has
worked
in
Japan.
Etsuko
is
Japanese
from
Osaka,
but
she
is studying in
Britain. In the following passage you are going to
hear, they are
comparing
life
as
they
see
it
in
the
two
countries.
But
before
listening
to
it,
think
of
the two countries and try to answer the following
pre-listening questions.
John: I found that living in Japan,
people were busier. They seem to work the
whole day.
Etsuko:
Yes,
that’s
right.
We
work
from
Monday
through
Saturday,
even
in
summer.
You
know,
summer
in
Japan
is
just
horrible.
It’s
very,
very
humid
and
hot
,
and
you
need to shower three times a day.
John: So you find it cooler in England?
Etsuko:
Yes, that’s right.
John:
Where
I
was
living
in
Japan,
in
the
North,
it
was
much
colder
than
England,
especially
in
winter,
minus
thirty
degrees
centigrade.
Does
the
winter
in
Osaka
last
longer than
the winter in England?
Etsuko:
No, I don’t think so. December, January, February, March.
John:
Yes. It’s a little bit shorter if anything.
Etsuko: Ever since I
came here,
I noticed
that
the countryside here in England
is very
beautiful.
John:
It’s much flatter than in Japan.
Etsuko:
Yes. Japan is
a
mountainous country
and
our cities are full of
people.
There are lots of people
in a limited flat area.
John:
Yes,
I
found
Japan
much
more
mountainous
than
Britain,
especially
in
the
north.
The
mountains
are
much
higher
and
much
more
rocky.
I
found
it
more
beautiful
than
Britain, I think.
Etsuko: Yes, if you
like mountains.
John: And therefore the
towns and villages tend to be more crowded.
Etsuko:
Yes, that’s right.
John:
Yes.
So
because
the
cities
are
more
crowded,
the
houses
tend
to
be
smaller,
don’t they?
Etsuko:
Yes, they are very compact, and we don’t hav
e a lot of space. In big
cities we have a lot of taller
buildings now.
John: Is this a problem
because there are more earthquakes in Japan?
Etsuko:
Yes, that’s right and…

Rosa: Why don’t
you have folk dances in the United States? Most
countries have
special dances that the
people have done for many years. The dancers wear
clothes from the old days. Everyone
likes to watch them dance.
Steve:
We
have
folk
dances,
too.
A
lot
of
people
belong
to
folk
dancing
groups.
But
when they dance, they usually do it
just to enjoy themselves.
They don’t
invite other people to watch them.
Rosa: Is there a folk dancing group
here?
Steve: I think so. There must be.
There’s one in almost every city, and some big
cities have several.
Rosa:
What are the dances like?
Steve:
Usually
eight
people
dance
together,
four
men
and
four
women.
When
they
start,
they
form
a
square,
with
a
man
and
a
woman
on
each
side
of
the
square.
That’s
why
it’s
called
square
dancing.
Then
there’s
a
man
who
tells
the
dancers
what
they
should
do.
He
usually
makes
it
into
a
song.
He
sings
it
while
they
dance.
Rosa: Oh, that
should make the dances easy!
Steve:
Yes, but they are very fast. They
don’t have much time to think.
I like
to watch them, though. The dancers wear
old-fashioned clothes. That makes
the
dances pretty to watch.
Rosa: I’d
like to watch
a group dance.
Steve: I’ll take you sometime.

went to tea parties.
