A vast football crowd ambles along Oxford Street and surges through the shops there, so that the Londoner leaves the field free for provincials, Americans, Australasians and a babel of exotic tongues.

在牛津街上的购物者跟足球场上的球迷一样多，他们沿街漫步，人流一浪一浪地涌过那里的商店。所以伦敦人就把这块地盘让给了外省人、美国人、澳大利亚人、新西兰人以及操着各种不同语言的人们。

Britain is turning into a nation of "tabloid spellers"—spelling Jane Austen is a far bigger challenge for children than getting David Beckham's name right. A survey carried out by Oxford University Press in research for a new dictionary showed that only 32 percent of school-age children could spell Shakespeare correctly. Only eight percent managed Jane Austen—variations such as Jayne and Jade proved especially popular. But JK Rowling did at least win top marks for teaching the children of the world the joy of reading with her Harry Potter sagas. The young magician's school—Hogwarts—was spelt correctly by 85 percent of the kids polled. Vineeta Gupta, senior editor of Oxford's Children's Dictionaries, said:"We were surprised at how many children managed to spell even quite difficult words correctly if they had a connection with popular culture that caught their imagination." Nearly 15 percent, for example, could spell metatarsal, a word almost unheard of before David Beckham's pre-World Cup fitness problems.
