PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY
People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries:England,Wales,Scotland and Northern Ireland.You can clarify this question if you study British history.
First there was England.Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century.Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well.Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to “Great Britain”.Happily this was accomplished 
without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well.Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way.However,the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government.So only Northern Ireland joined with England,Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.
To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg,the currency and international relations),but they still have very different institutions.For example,Northern Ireland,England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!
England is the 
largest of the four countries,and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones.The zone nearest France is called the South of England,the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North.You find most of the population settled in the south,but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England.Although,nationwide,these cities are not as large as those in China,they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two!It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors.For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans.There you will find out more about British history and culture.
The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums,art collections,theatres,parks and buildings.It is the centre of national government and its administration.It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD,the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066.There has been four sets of invaders of England.The first invaders,the Romans,left their towns and roads.The second,the Anglo-Saxons,left their language and their government.The third,the Vikings,influenced the vocabulary and place-names of the North of England,and the fourth,the Normans,left castles and introduced new words for food.
If you look around the British countryside you will find evidence of all these invaders.You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom enjoyable and worthwhile.
人们可能会奇异为甚么用分歧的词语来描写英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国度。若是你钻研英国的汗青，你就可以弄大白这个问题。
起首是英格兰。威尔士于公元13世纪就同英格兰结合起来了。现在只要有人提起英格兰，你就会发明威尔士老是包含在内的。然后，于17世纪英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰结合起来，名字改成大不列颠。使人光荣的是，当苏格兰的詹姆士国王成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时，这三个国度在无（军事）冲突的环境下实现了结合。最后在20世纪初经由过程一样的和平方法，英国当局极力把爱尔兰也纳入进来，组成为了结合王国。但是，爱尔兰的南部却不甘愿如许并分手出去创建了本身的当局。是以只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰结合起来组成为了结合王国，这一点重新的结合王国国旗（“结合杰克”）上便可以看得出来。
值得称颂的是：这四个国度在一些方面（例如说在货泉和国际瓜葛上），它们简直是配合互助的，可是有些轨制依然区分很大。比方，北爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰在教诲体系体例和立法体系体例上都存在着差别，而且它们有着各自的足球队加入像世界杯之类的角逐！
在这四个国度中，英格兰是最大的。为了便利，它大致可以划分为三个地域。最挨近法国的阿谁地域叫做英格兰南部，中部地域叫英格兰中部，最挨近苏格兰的阿谁地域叫英格兰北部。你会发明大部门生齿栖身在南部，可是大部门工业都会在中部和北部。固然就天下范畴来讲，这些都会都不像中国的都会那样大，可是它们都有着世界著名的足球队，有的都会乃至另有两个队！使人遗憾的是这些建于19世纪的工业都会其实不能吸引旅客。要找汗青性的修建你得去罗马人制作的更古老的可是比力小的城镇。在那儿你能找到更多有关英国汗青和文化的工具。
所有汗青遗产中最贵重的是伦敦，那儿有博物馆、艺术保藏、剧场、公园和各类修建物。它是天下的当局和办理中间。这儿有最古老的由罗马人在公元1世纪修的口岸，有盎格鲁—撒克逊人于11世纪60年月构筑的最古老的修建物，另有由诺曼底统治者在1066年构筑的最古老的城堡。英格兰遭受过四批侵犯者的入侵。第一批侵犯者是古罗马人，他们在那边留下了城镇和马路，第二指示盎格鲁—撒克逊人，在那边留下了他们的说话和当局机构，第三指示维京人，他们影响了英国的辞汇和英格兰北部的地名，第四批是诺曼人，他们留下了城堡并引入了一些关于食品的辞汇。
若是你到英国村落旅游，你就会发明所有侵犯者的证据。若是你想在英国的观光不枉此行，必定要睁大你的眼睛好好察看。
等待小可爱们鄙人方留言“逐日打卡”，
让我看到你们的对峙！
