Нужен перевод A PORTRAIT OF GREAT BRITAIN Britain has been assiduous in preserving its traditions, but offers the visitor much more than stately castles and pretty villages. A diversity of landscape, culture, literature, art and architecture as well as its unique heritage results in a nation balancing the needs of the present with those of its past. Britain’s character has been shaped by its geographical position as an island. Never successfully invaded since 1066, its people have developed their own distinctive traditions. Although today a member of the European Union, Britain continues to delight in its non-conformity, even in superficial ways such as driving on the left-hand side of the road instead of the right. The British heritage is seen in its ancient castles, cathedrals and stately homes with their gardens and Classical parklands. Age-old customs are renewed each year, from royal ceremonies to Morris dancers performing on village greens. Despite the spread of towns and cities over the last two centuries, rural Britain still flourishes. The countryside is dotted with farms and charming villages, with picturesque cottages and lovingly tended gardens - a British passion. A typical village is built around an ancient church and a small, friendly pub. To drink a pint of ale in a cosy, village inn and relax before a fire is a time-honoured British custom. For a small island, Great Britain includes surprising variety of its regions, whose inhabitants maintain distinct identities. Scotland and Wales are separate countries from England with their own legislative assemblies. They have different customs, traditions, and, in the case of Scotland, different legal and educational systems. The Welsh and Scots Gaelic languages survive and are sustained by their own radio and television networks. In northern and West Country areas, English itself is spoken in a rich variety of dialects and accents, and these areas maintain their own regional arts, crafts, architecture and food. The landscape is varied, too, from the craggy mountains of Wales, Scotland and the north, through the flat expanses of the Midlands and eastern England to the soft, rolling hills of the south and west. The long, broad beaches of East Anglia contrast with the picturesque rocky inlets along much of the west coast. Democracy has deep foundations in Britain: there was a parliament in London even in the 13th century. Yet with the exception of the 17th-century Civil War, power has passed gradually from the Crown to the people’s elected representatives. A series of Reform Acts between 1832 and 1884 gave the vote to all male citizens, though women were not enfranchised on an equal basis until1928. 3.1.
