譯文：第12單元 文化沖擊

第1課 游覽英國

親愛的梅姨，

真不敢相信我已在倫敦呆了6個月了！沒有多給您寫信非常抱歉。我一直忙于學習，了解身邊的新事物—我覺得自己還在經歷文化沖擊。這兒很多事情和國內不一樣。不久您就會親身體驗了！我真希望您的來訪時間不會這么短，但是一周內我們也有很多事情可以做，有很多地方可以參觀您能抽時間來看我，我真是太高興了。您在這兒期間我不會讓您花錢的！

我不知道您對倫敦有什么期望，但是我知道您從來沒有到亞洲以外的地方旅行，所以我想告訴您一些這里的情況。

II.完形填空

First of all， the food. When I first got here, I was amazed to find that London is _____1___an international city. There are people from all over the world _____2___here and as a result, there are many international restaurants. Do you know that almost every town in Britain has at least one _____3____restaurant? But British people hardly ever eat Chinese food for breakfast. You're going to have to get used to bacon and eggs ____4____a few slices of toast for breakfast over here, Aunt Mei!

And a word of advice. _____5___getting confused about the British tipping system，you need to check your bill to see if a tip is included or not.

If it_____6____, I suggest leaving 10% of the bill for the waiter or waitress - even a bit more if the service is good. _____7___of money - it's really easy to exchange traveller's cheques at banks or hotels so I advise you to get some of those ____8____you come. 

I think we should consider staying in the English countryside for a few nights as I know you enjoy hiking. We can wander through the fields and even pick a few mushrooms to have with our breakfast! I have learnt which ones are tasty and safe to eat so we won't risk _____9___sick!

And don't forget a warm coat! It can get pretty cold and foggy in this country.

One last thing, I didn't understand British humour at all when I first got here. The British find the strangest things funny! We're certainly more used to Chinese humour so don't be surprised if you hear laughter when you don't think anything's funny. They're not laughing at you!

But even though some British people are quite strange，____10___ of them are really friendly and I've made some good friends.

Anyhow, I'd better get back to work. I am so looking forward to your visit, Aunt Mei!

Love Xiaojin.

譯文：

首先是食物。我剛到時對于倫敦這樣一個國際化的城市感到吃驚。這里的人來自世界各地，因此有許多各個國家的餐館。您知道嗎？在英國幾乎每個鎮(zhèn)子都有一家中國餐館。但是英國人早飯不吃中餐。所以，梅姨，您得適應這里腌肉、雞蛋加幾片烤面包的早飯。

一點建議。 為了避免對英國小費制度的困惑，您要查看帳單上是不是包括小費。如果不包括，我建議您給服務生或服務小姐留10％ -至可以再多一點兒，如果您認為他們服務得好。

談到錢，在銀行或飯店兌換旅行支票非常容易，所以我建議您來之前準備一些支票。

我知道您喜歡遠足，我想我們應該在英國的鄉(xiāng)村住幾天。我們可以在田野中漫步，甚至可以采些蘑菇和早飯一起吃！我學會了識別那些蘑菇好吃又安全，所以我們不會冒生病的危險！

別忘記帶保暖外衣！英國會很冷的，而且多霧。

最后，我剛到時一點兒都不懂英式幽默。英國人認為最奇怪的事情好笑！我們比較習慣中國式的幽默，所以您覺得沒什么好笑時聽到笑聲，不要感到吃驚。他們不是在笑您！雖然有些英國人有點兒奇怪，但是大多數人都很友好，而且我已結交了一些好朋友。

好了，我得回去工作了。梅姨，我期待著您的來訪。

愛您的小金
