英國Cotswolds旅遊攻略

A. 英國科茲大學全球排幾名

看個人喜好，兩個地方風格不同彭贊斯 (Penzance）的看點: 懸崖，大西洋，海岸線，版小漁村；科茲沃權爾德 地區 (Cotswolds) 就是鄉間農舍，田園風光，薰衣草種植園（夏天可以看到） cotswolds 只是一個總稱，如果不跟團的話，具體想遊玩的村鎮，路線，到達方式，需提前做好攻略。

B. 他們說的愛周遊周邊旅遊是真的假的呢了解的能說下

我經常去Cotswolds周邊徒步源以及沿著泰晤士河徒步。
.
樓上幾位，洋洋灑灑給出了英國旅遊的不少建議，但私以為，大部分比較類似「歐洲十
..
布萊頓不是沙灘，是石灘，但是一點也不耽誤躺在那裡曬太陽，我和GF是真的在
..
不得不提的是我最最了解的Cotswolds是典型的充滿古色古香的英國最美的鄉村。

C. 科茨沃爾德的介紹

科茨沃爾德位於莎士復比亞之鄉制的南面，綿延的鄉村風情與科茨沃爾德群山融合在一起。 本區歷史十分悠久，在中古時期已經因羊毛相關的商業活動而發展，在此也曾出過不少名人。不過其雖然知名，卻不是正式的行政區，亦不存在「郡」的稱號。此地僅是地區名稱，因此沒有無確實邊界范圍。此地保有歷代建築，具有傳統風格，並具有濃厚的英國小鎮風味。在20世紀此地的英國風味也致使旅遊業興旺，許多旅客是來自於日本與香港等地.

G. 英國旅遊英文的介紹啊！！哪位達人幫幫我，小的銀子奉上！！

This has always been a most remarkable country. From its ancient beginnings with the Celtic tribes about 3,000 years ago through the colonization by the Romans in 42 AD to the present, Britain has enjoyed one of the world's most interesting and colorful histories. The variety of life throughout England, Scotland and Wales as well as Northern Ireland makes for new and memorable experiences in each and every visit.

Capital: London
Population: 59,000,000

Area: 94, 500 square miles

Language: English

Time: +5 Hours from New York

Electricity: 220 volts/ 50 Hz (many hotels have 110 plugs for American shavers)

Geography: The country is surrounded by water except along the Northern Ireland / Republic of Ireland border. The country is as varied as its weather which is e largely to its geography. Scotland is mostly mountainous in the northern areas and mostly a plains area in the south. Northern England is quite hilly and flat for the rest of the area. Wales is almost entirely mountainous except for the coastline.

International Airports
London - Heathrow (LHR) The airport is about 16 miles from London's West end. It takes about 45 minutes by cab or the Underground. A new train from Paddington station takes only 15 minutes and also operates every 20 minutes and connect to Terminals 3 and 4. Busses and taxis are plentiful. There is bus service from Heathrow to most major centers of the country including rail connecting points.

London - Gatwick Airport (LGW) -The airport is about 25 miles from central London and is connected primarily by a train which takes about 35 minutes. The train operates every 20 minutes ring the day. Bus service is very slow and not advised. Taxis are also slow and expensive from this far out from London. Passengers alighting from the Gatwick Train at the end of their journey at Victoria Station have many taxis waiting for them and also the complete transport system of London.

Birmingham - Birmingham International (BHX) - This is an extremely well laid out airport next to the Birmingham Exposition Centre. Train service from downtown is frequent and some bus service exists. Taxis are plentiful. Train service is available to all parts of the UK from the airport. Travel time by train is about 12 minutes.

Manchester - Manchester International Airport (MAN - The airport is about 15 miles from the city and is most easily accessible by train which operates about every 20 minutes ring the day. Bus and taxi service is available.

Glasgow - Glasgow Airport (GLA) - The airport is about 12 miles from the city. Bus and taxi service is available.

Edinburgh - Edinburgh Airport (EDI) - The airport is located about 8 miles from the city center. Taxi and bus service available.

Tipping: A service charge is usually added to the bill which amounts to 10% in restaurants. If you do not see this on the bill, leave a tip. Otherwise just leave small change.
Shopping: Shops and stores are open 9 am to 5:30 pm daily except Sundays. This is a country of antiques and they are everywhere. Woolens and linens are quite good as well as the Wedgwood, Royal Doulton china and porcelain. Clothing is also very good with the abundance of Harris Tweeds and various cottons and silks.

Food and Drink: Britain is the crossroads of the Commonwealth and so every imaginable cuisine is available here - especially in London. Puddings in England and Wales and various Scottish specialties in the north are very interesting. Pubs are a focal point of communities and are a source of excellent and inexpensive food. Beverages here are not limited to those enriched with alcohol but all sorts of family oriented beverages.

Social: The British are not stuffy, only historical portrayals of them. Most are very down to earth and extremely engaging and willing to help the traveler along the way. If anything, they will want to discover more of the 'colonies' in conversations with you. You will also discover that the English, Scots and Welsh as well as the Northern Irish are very different people as may be found in different parts of North America.

Business: Business culture has changed sharply. Position is no longer engrained into society but a new term called "meritocracy" which has revolutionized the social, political and economic morays of Britain. This is reflected tremendously in business affairs. Three piece suits, umbrellas and bowler hats have disappeared and have been replaced with smartly dressed figures who are bright, energetic and quite knowledgeable in their fields. Business appointments and business cards are essential.

Banking: Banks are usually open from 9:30 am to 4 pm weekdays. A few branches are open on Saturdays.
Currency: The British Pound

Money Exchange: This is fairly easy to do anywhere, but be mindful that travelers checks are not readily accepted unless they are in UK pounds. Best place to exchange currency is at the banks. Be extremely careful about changing currency at small kiosks. You may get a very good exchange rate only to be socked by a very high commission or service charge or no commission and a very poor rate or worst of all poor rates and high commission. Banks are the best.

Credit cards: Visa, Master Card, American Express and Diners Club are well known.

The country has a varied climate ranging from subtropical in the southwest to cold and rainy in the northwest of Scotland. The country has its share of rain which can fall at any time. Scotland's northwest is the wettest area of the country. The southeast is quite sunny and tends to have the overall greatest amount of sun. The southwest is the mildest.

Destination: England

In England's North Country you』ll find the scenic splendour of lakes and mountains, castles, dramatic coastlines and glorious National Parks, combined with the medieval city of York, lively Blackpool and Manchester, world renowned for its football.

Travel south and you'll see a gentler landscape; quiet country lanes and inland waterways, the shimmering fenlands of the east coast and Stratford, Shakespeare』s birthplace and the university city of Cambridge.

Continue south of London and the area boasts glorious gardens, oast houses and stately homes whilst, the southern coast has an enviable reputation for its beaches and resorts, historic market towns, and the charming cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury, close to Stonehenge.

To the South West of London, the West Country offers great surfing off the craggy Cornwall coast, picturesque thatched cottage villages in the Cotswolds, cider from Somerset and delicious Devon cream teas.

Destination: The East of England

There are so many places to go and things to see in the East of England you'll find it hard to fit it all in! Each of the region's counties has its very own unique character and all of them have a wealth of places to explore and treasures to discover. Step into the East of England and you step into a subtly different world. Senses are somehow heightened beneath the great wide skies that arch above the area e to its flat landscape.

It's England as you like it - the perfect mix of soft and gentle countryside, ancient cities, stately homes and gardens, charming towns, storybook villages, bird-reserved beaches and old-fashioned seaside fun. And all with that special additive - so very unique to the East of England - a very quirky indiviality. In Stilton, Cambridgeshire, they roll cheeses down the street. At Grimston, Norfolk, they race snails on the cricket pitch for prizes. And at Great Dunmow, Essex, they have a mock trial, complete with a bewigged judge, to find a couple who 'haven't had a brawl for the last 12 months and a day'. Delightfully different!

There are ghosts galore throughout the region. At Blickling Hall, Norfolk, it's not just the horseman that is headless - but the horses, too, along with poor Ann Boleyn who sits with her head on her lap. On the Norfolk Broads there's a phantom skater and a ghost wherry. And at Dunwich, Suffolk, now lost beneath the waves, you can listen for the church bells of a huge and prosperous town.

Follies are a favourite in the eccentric East. You'll find all shapes and sizes from the giant rotunda of 18th century Ickworth House to the House in the Clouds on the Suffolk Coast - a former water tower converted into a unique holiday home. And then there are those other oddities - like the huge Tudor Dovecote at Willington in Bedfordshire, where there are also remains of a Viking harbour down by the river. And to get really confused - try and puzzle out the ancient earth maze at Saffron Walden, Essex. Or how they built the Mathematical Bridge in Cambridge without any nails.

Destination: Heart of England

Like the rest of England, the Heart of England is charmingly indivial, but the bonus is that the Heart of England is at the hub of Britain』s road network, so exploring every last bit of it is made very easy! You don』t have to fly into London because there is the international airport at Birmingham right in the centre of the region. Birmingham is also now able to offer a world-class cultural scene, superb shopping, top attractions, fantastic nightlife, major international events and exhibitions

Take some time to visit the Cotswolds, taking in the many honey-coloured villages. The potteries of Staffordshire to the north of the region are juxtaposed with Shakespeare』s Stratford-on-Avon and the nearby lesser-known parts of Warwickshire. Close by lies the Black Country, and a visit here will reveal a rich seam of art, crafts, tradition and culture with modern architectural design sitting alongside villages from the Victorian era.

Explore the counties of Herefordshire and Shropshire along the beautiful borderlands of England and Wales, sampling the myriad of excellent restaurants and locally proced food. Don』t forget to discover the real taste of the countryside in Herefordshire』s famous cider.

In Worcestershire you can find fine churches, historic buildings and a thriving arts scene with internationally acclaimed festivals and events.

History has left a trail of magnificent buildings from all eras, Fishbourne Roman Palace near to arts and culture city Chichester, 12th-century Canterbury Cathedral and spectacular castles such as Leeds Castle in Kent or Windsor Castle, the Official Residence of Her Majesty The Queen.

This part of England is ideal for gentle walking, that special ingredient of a country visit that sends you home relaxed and invigorated. Head for the Oxfordshire Cotswolds famed for its golden charm, or walk high up on the North and South Downs or the Surrey Hills.

You are never far from the coast and its associated maritime heritage. The Historic Dockyard at Chatham near Rochester covers 400 years of maritime history while Portsmouth is the site of Henry VIII's ship the Mary Rose, Admiral Lord Nelson's HMS Victory and HMS Warrior.

So close to London, this region of history and heritage, coast and countryside awaits your discovery!

H. 看過納尼亞傳奇的請進

威廉姆·彼得·莫塞（彼得 ）
利出生於1987年4月27日，英國的Cotswolds 地區的Sheepscombe。那裡離倫敦有向西一個半小時的車程，是有古典氣息的英國鄉村地區。他從10歲起就想要當演員。威廉姆是家裡三兄妹中最年長的，他的妹妹Daisy16歲，弟弟Ben13歲。
爸爸Peter是英國電影攝影師，媽媽是Julie Moseley。威廉姆在Sheepscombe上小學。威廉姆很喜歡茶。他的家人評價他有一點愛指使人，但是有著優秀的領導才能。他不想被人們僅僅以Peter Pevensie記住他，而是希望被認為是一個有天分的優秀演員。他認為自己是一個有主見並樂意與他人分享自己想法和觀點的人。
威廉姆·莫塞利非常幸運地從上千人中被選拔出來，飾演C.S.路易斯的代表作《納尼亞傳奇》中的Peter Pavensie。在一次訪問中他講到他如何在試演Peter Pevensie長達18個月後，終於得到了這個角色並且欣喜萬分，因為都到這個份兒上了卻得不到角色的話他會非常沮喪。他的角色對劍術的要求非常高，他忍受了許多體能方面的挑戰，演繹出一個強勢的角色。之後他繼續出演了該片續集《納尼亞傳奇2：凱斯賓王子》。

安娜·帕波維爾 （蘇珊 ）
目前居住在英國倫敦，母親Deborah是位免疫學者， 父親Andrew是律師。安娜6歲起就開始在Allsorts Drama學校學習戲劇課程，Allsorts允許孩子們在學業之餘在大銀幕和電視上演出，她1998年10歲時開始在電視上演出一些角色，之後出演的影視包括《小小僵屍》、《最愛她》、《戴珍珠耳環的少女》等。2005年安娜被挑中飾演《納尼亞傳奇》中的大女兒蘇珊，這個幸運的機會令無數人羨慕不已，也使安娜成為了許多青少年的偶像。

斯堪德·凱恩斯（愛德蒙）
有著黎巴嫩血統，他母親的父輩中有非常著名的黎巴嫩作家和中東問題學者，一般夏天斯堪德都會前往黎巴嫩的貝魯特度假；盡管家人給他在每個周末安排阿拉伯語課程，但斯堪德未能很好地掌握。斯堪德的父輩系家族則更加顯赫。提出進化論學說的英國自然學家達爾文是他的曾曾曾祖父，家族沾親帶故的其他名人還包括經濟學家約翰凱恩斯（John Maynard Keynes）、歷史學家西蒙凱文斯（Simon Keynes）、諾貝爾得獎生物學家阿德里安（Edgar Adrian）以及哲學家大衛休謨（David Hume）等等。
在成為「納尼亞」的埃德蒙之前斯堪德·凱恩斯曾為《魔法保姆麥克菲》試鏡，但那個角色最終給了托馬斯·桑斯特。拍攝第一部《獅子，女巫和魔衣櫥》期間他正經歷變聲，因而一些台詞後來是由姐姐為他配音的，宣傳期間他還帶著傻傻的牙套，可是到了第二部《凱斯賓王子》，人們看到了斯堪德「美少年」的脫變。片中的「蘇珊」安娜·帕波維爾與他住的很近，除了交流拍攝外，兩人都是英超豪門阿森納俱樂部的支持者。斯堪德·凱恩斯還同「哈利波特」丹尼爾·雷德克里夫讀過同一所學校。

喬基·亨莉（露西）
2005年年僅10歲的喬基·亨莉出演了她的第一部影片(此為影片上映時間，影片拍攝時她還不到10歲)，而這部影片和很多其他人所出演的第一部影片不同，這部影片是根據著名作家C.S.劉易斯所著的享譽世界的科幻巨作《納尼亞王國》改編而成的《納尼亞傳奇》。喬基·亨莉飾演四位小主角中最小的露西。
在影片拍攝結束時，導演安德魯·亞當森送給了每個參與演出的小朋友一個ipod，由於年齡較小，喬基·亨莉甚至還不知道這個是什麼，經過詢問媽媽才得到答案。就是這樣一個可愛天真的小姑娘，在《納尼亞傳奇》中為觀眾獻上了出色的表演，她的演技超出了她的年齡水平，扮演的「露西」顯得非常靈氣可愛。
次年，芝加哥影評人協會(Chicago Film Critics)因為其在《納尼亞傳奇》中表現良好，而將她提名為當年的「最有前途新人獎」。
在這部影片中，喬基的姐姐瑞切爾·亨莉(Rachael Henley)也扮演了一個角色——成年露西。相信她們的父母Helen和Mike Henley應該為她們的出色而感到驕傲。
喬基還將在《納尼亞傳奇》系列的其他影片中繼續出演，《納尼亞傳奇2：凱斯賓王子》 已於08年上映，第三部《納尼亞傳奇3：黎明踏浪號》預計將於2010年與觀眾見面，對於這個小女孩兒，我們值得繼續期待。

I. 關於英國旅遊的英語資料

英國大笨鍾
Big Ben is the name of the bell inside St Stephen's clock tower attached to the Houses of Parliament and is one of the best-known landmarks of London.

The Big Ben is a thirteen ton bell hung into the clock tower that strikes the hours and was named after the first commissioner of works, Sir Benjamin Hall.

The bell was brought from the old Palace of Westminster and given to the Dean of St. Paul's by William III. Before the bell was placed in the tower, it was mounted in the New Palace Yard but the bell cracked under the striking hammer, and its metal was recast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1858. After the refashioned was carried to the tower that now homes it.

During the second world war in 1941, an incendiary bomb destroyed the Commons chamber of the Houses of Parliament, but the clock tower continued being intact and Big Ben continued to keep time and strike away the hours and became a symbol of hope.

Every year The BBC broadcast the New Year Eve chimes of the bells since 1924 to thousands of listeners.

The best time to see Big Ben may be at night, when the clock faces are illuminated, as is the facade of the Palace of Westminster facing the Thames. The effect from Westminster Bridge or the far bank of the Thames can be breathtaking.

倫敦 London
London has been called a 『world in one city』 and that』s not just empty rhetoric. The brilliant feat carried off here is that while immigrants, the city』s life blood, continue to flow in and contribute their energy and cultures to the capital』s already spicy melting pot, London nevertheless feels quintessentially British, whether it』s those boxy black cabs, the red double deckers or those grand symbols of Britain – the mother of all parliaments at Westminster, the silhouette of Tower bridge above the muddy Thames or the already world-famous London Eye, barely a decade old.

Don』t miss these essential sights of course, but equally ensure you partake in what really makes London great: a pint and a plate of fish n』 chips by the river, a day in the park or a night out in Soho or Shoreditch. Take a deep breath and prepare to fall in love with the British capital..

坎布里亞湖區Lake District
For sheer scenic splendour, few places in England can measure up to the outlandishly beautiful Lake District, where Wordsworth, Coleridge and their Romantic compatriots famously sought their poetic muse in the 19th century. The landscape of the Lakes is as breathtaking as any you』ll find in Switzerland or the French Alps – a sweeping panorama of humpbacked mountains, razorblade crags and scree-covered hillsides, strewn with mountainous tarns and some of the largest natural lakes anywhere in England.
With such a wealth of natural riches, it』s hardly surprising that the Lake District is one of the country』s favourite places for savouring the great outdoors, but there』s much more to this region than fine views – it』s also packed with history and culture, from the abandoned slate mines around Honister and the ruined abbey of Furness to the literary landmarks of Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount, both former homes of one William Wordsworth.

Bath巴斯
Ask any visitor for their ideal image of an English city, and chances are they』ll come up with something pretty close to Bath – an architectural icon, cultural trendsetter and fashionable haunt for the cream of British society for the last 300 years. With its grand Georgian terraces, Palladian parades and lofty townhouses of honey-coloured stone, it』s certainly one of Britain』s most attractive cities, and still exudes an air of gentility and chi-chi sophistication – in fact, Bath boasts more listed buildings than almost anywhere else in the country, and houses here change hands for truly eye-popping sums. The whole city has been named a World Heritage Site by Unesco, and it』s blessed with a wealth of architectural wonders, including the glorious Royal Cres and one of the world』s finest Roman spas. But it』s not without its problems: the hills are knackering, the bars are snooty, the hotels are expensive, and the rush hour traffic will have you weeping into your steering wheel, but despite all the niggles, it』s impossible not to fall in love with this finely wrought jewel in England』s crown.

The Cotswolds 科茨沃爾德丘陵
Undeniably beautiful, quintessentially English and beloved by tourists and locals alike, the lush rolling hills and picture-postcard villages of the Cotswolds are one of the country』s most popular spots. With glorious honey-coloured villages riddled with beautiful old mansions, thatched cottages, atmospheric churches and rickety almshouses, the region just oozes old-world English charm.
A boom in the medieval wool trade brought the area its wealth and left it with such a glut of beautiful buildings that its place in history is secured for ever more. If you』ve ever craved exposed beams, dreamed of falling asleep under English rose wallpaper or lusted after a cream tea in mid-afternoon, there』s no finer place to fulfil your fantasies. Just be aware that you won』t be alone – the Cotswolds can be besieged by tourists and traffic in summer.
Plan to visit the main centres early in the morning or late in the evening, focus your attention on the south or take to the hills on foot or by bike to avoid the worst of the crowds.
不知道是不是要這些。

J. 關於英國地理方面的英文資料，最好配上翻譯，馬上就要~~~~謝謝了

England comprises the central and southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain, in addition to a number of small islands of which the largest is the Isle of Wight. England is bordered to the north by Scotland and to the west by Wales. It is closer to continental Europe than any other part of mainland Britain, divided from France only by a 24-statute mile (52 km or 28.1 nmi)[1] sea gap. The Channel Tunnel, near Folkestone, directly links England to mainland Europe. The English/French border is halfway along the tunnel.[2]

Much of England consists of rolling hills, but it is generally more mountainous in the north with a chain of mountains, the Pennines, dividing east and west. Other hilly areas in the north and Midlands are the Lake District, the North York Moors, and the Peak District. The approximate dividing line between terrain types is often indicated by the Tees-Exe line. To the south of that line, there are larger areas of flatter land, including East Anglia and the Fens, although hilly areas include the Cotswolds, the Chilterns, and the North and South Downs.

The largest natural harbour in England is at Poole, on the south-central coast. Some regard it as the second largest harbour in the world, after Sydney, Australia, although this fact is disputed (see harbours for a list of other large natural harbours).
