3.A Popular Pastime of the English People
One of the best means of understanding the people of any nation is watching what the do with
their non-working time.
Most English men, women and children love growing things, especially flowers. Visitors to
England in spring, summer or autumn are likely to see gardens all they way along the railway lines.
There are flowers at the airports and flowers in factory grounds, as well as in gardens along the
roads. Each English town has at least one park with beautifully kept flower beds. Public buildings
of every kind have brilliant window boxes and sometimes baskets of flowers are hanging on them.
But what the English enjoy most is growing things themselves. If it is impossible to have a garden,
then a window box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other’s gardens is a
popular pastime with the English.
4. British and American Police Officers
Real policemen, both in Britain and the U.S., hardly recognize any common points between their
lives and what they se on TV—if they ever get home in time.
Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them much of
them.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the
law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to prove
them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what’s more, he has to put it
into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to
talk to.
Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He
will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about
hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty or not of stupid, unimportant crimes.
Useful Words and Expressions:
1. think much of 重视,尊重
2. in court 在法庭上
