英国人的

So if you're a frequent visitor, if you're a Brit, you're a frequent vistor of the United States, you get one of these digital IDs, you put in your handprint, we got 80,000 of those handprints on record to make sure you don't wait in line.

所以，如果你经常来美国，你是一个英国人，经常到美国来，我的提议是，你去办一张数码身份证，并且输入你的手印，我们已经有你们八万份手印的纪录来确保你不必排队等候。

Chaplin quit Britain for good in 1913 when he journeyed to America with a group of performers to do his comedy act on the stage where talent scouts recruited him to work for Mack Sennett, the king of Hollywood comedy films.

而在卓别林大半的银幕生涯中，银幕上的他是不出声的，也就无法证明他是英国人。

His "The Shortest Way with the Dissenters"(1702) brought him into jail and made him go through public exposure in the pillory, while his "The True-born Englishman"(1701) won him friendship from the king.

他的"最短途径与异议人士"(1702)又带他去坐牢，并通过公开曝光，使他在每次的对象，而他的"真出生英国人"(1701)赢得友谊国王。

The massive walking-beam rose and fell above the deck; at one end a piston-rod worked up and down; and at the other was a connecting-rod which, in changing the rectilinear motion to a circular one, was directly connected with the shaft of the paddles.

船上旅客相当多，有一些英国人，但更多的是美国人；还有许多到美洲去的苦力移民；也有一部分是在印度军队中服役的军官，他们在利用假期作世界旅行。

Mr Mugabe is also a shrewd performer, switching from Shona to English to send different messages to different audiences.

穆加贝也是一个精明的表演者，从Shona人到英国人，对不同的观众传播不同的讯息。

At the same time, an Englishman, who will be at the pains to familiarise himself with the classical Roman law is perhaps, from the very slightness of the interest which his countrymen have hitherto taken in the subject, a better judge than a Frenchman or a German of the value of the assertions I have ventured to make.

在同时，一个费尽心力熟悉古典罗马法的英国人，由于其本国人对这主题向来极少兴趣，对于我胆敢提出的主张，他比起法国人或德国人来也许是一个更好的鉴定家。

I speak reasonably good German (although it's not perfect, and people can generally tell I'm English by the time I've uttered about 3 words), which is more than adequate to cope with the sort of discussions you have with hotel staff, and I find it quite patronising if people speak back to me in English.

我自己的德语说的不错（当然也不是特别好，因为当地人能在我开口说三个字以后就知道我是英国人），至少和宾馆人员交涉是绝对没问题的，另外，我个人觉得如果我说德语而别人回我英语，好像是施舍似的，令人不舒服。

Respondents not only embrace a British identity less readily than they did but also have trouble ascribing a distinctive meaning to it. When asked what it meant by pollsters, most struggled, then fell back on such banalities as "the stiff upper lip" and "drinking tea".

被调查者不但不热衷于&英国人&这个identity，同时也没有什么是&英国人&的概念，当被问到如何界定英国人时，他们的定义都是些诸如&the stiff upper lip&，&drink tea&之类的答案

There is strong evidence that the various communities are beginning to mix. Almost half of all Afro-Caribbean men in relationships have a white partner. Mixed-race Britons of all sorts numbered 674,000 in 2001. A-level English students last year were set "White Teeth", an award-winning first novel about relations among immigrant communities by Zadie Smith, who is half-English and half-Jamaican.

有力的证据显示有些社区正在混合，几乎一半的男性加勒比黑人都有白人伴侣。2001年混合人种血统英国人有67万4千。A级英文学生被要求阅读&White Teeth&，这是第一本讲述移民社区关系的获奖小说，作者Zadie Smith是一个英格兰牙买加混血儿。

Unless, of course, you're English and you enjoy the flavour the French call le gout anglais : the slightly maderized, nutty flavour of old champagne.

当然，如果你是英国人，而你又欣赏法国人称之为&英国风味&的、有轻微的马德拉酒味以及坚果味的老香槟味道又另当别论了。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.
