Read the text and say what Westminster is and what places of interest you can find there.
WESTMINSTER
The political centre of London is Westminster. It is that part of London where there are a lot of offices ['ɒfisiz]. If you go down Whitehall from Trafalgar Square on the right you will see a small street where the British Prime Minister [,praim 'ministə] lives. He lives at number 10 Downing [ 'daʊniŋ] Street. Whitehall is a wide street leading to Parliament ['ра:1əmənt] Square. This square is very large. On the left you can see a long grey building with towers which is the Houses of Parliament.
The large clock in one of the towers is Big Ben. Big Ben is the name of the clock and the bell in the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament. You can hear the sound of Big Ben every hour in London. The clock and the bell got their names after Sir Benjamin ['benʤəmin] Hall. He was a tall man, whose nickname1 was Big Ben. So people know the clock as Big Ben.
The Thames [temz] is behind the Houses of Parliament and the bridge across it is Westminster Bridge.
The Queen of England lives in Buckingham Palace. It is a wonderful building with a monument in front of it which is the Queen Victoria Memorial [mə´mɔ:rɪəl]. It takes people ten to twenty minutes to get from Buckingham Palace to Trafalgar Square, in the centre of London.
There are so many other places to see and visit in London, but you can’t do all during one short trip.
Прочитайте текст и скажите, что такое Вестминстер, и какие достопримечательности там находятся.
Вестминстер
Политическим центром Лондона является Вестминстер. Именно в
этой части Лондона находится большое количество учреждений. Если вы пойдете по улице Whitehall от Трафальгарской площади, то
справа вы увидите небольшую улицу, где живет Британский премьер-министр. Он живет по адресу Даунинг-стрит 10. Whitehall - это широкая улица, ведущая к площади Парламента. Эта площадь очень
большая. Слева вы увидите длинное серое здание с башнями, которое
является зданием Парламента.
Большие часы на одной из башен - Биг Бен. Биг Бен - это название
часов и колокола на часовой башне здания парламента. Вы можете
услышать бой Биг Бена в Лондоне каждый час. Часы и колокол получили свое название от названия зала сэра Бенджамина. Это был высокий мужчина, у которого была кличка Биг Бен. Поэтому часы люди
называют Биг Бен.
Темза протекает за зданием парламента, а мост через Темзу в этом
месте называется Вестминстерским мостом.
По другую сторону площади Парламента находится Вестминстерское
Аббатство. Это одна из самых знаменитых и красивых церквей в
Лондоне. Она является также и очень старой. Ей более 900 лет. В ней
имеется также большое количество монументов и статуй. Многие
английские короли и королевы похоронены там. Вестминстерское
Аббатство известно также своим Уголком поэтов. Многие великие
писатели похоронены здесь, например, Чарльз Диккенс и Радьярд
Киплинг. Аббатство с его двумя высокими башнями является поистине чудесным.
Королева Англии живет в Букингемском дворце. Это чудесное здание с памятником перед ним, который является мемориалом Королевы Виктории.
Людям требуется 10 или 20 минут, чтобы дойти пешком от Букингемского дворца до Трафальгарской площади, центра Лондона. В
Лондоне имеется так много других достопримечательностей, но вы
не сможете их осмотреть во время одной короткой поездки.
Parliament Square and the Houses of Parliament are very famous places of
interest. Big Ben is the name of the clock and the bell of the clock tower
of the Houses of Parliament and it is very famous. I think it would be very
interesting to see Westminster Bridge. Westminster Abbey is a very old
and beautiful building. It is a place of interest. Buckingham Palace and the
Queen Victoria Memorial are places of interest. The British Prime Minis-
ter lives at number 10 Downing Street. It is a place of interest, too.
В то утро, как это порой бывает, дым и поднимающийся над долиной Темзы туман решили сотворить для своего род ного Лондона, и особенно для старейшей его части. Сити, не сколько чудес. В такое утро Сити кажется волшебным местом. Все в нем окутано чуть светящейся дымкой, то серебристой, то тускло-золотой. Здания сохраняют свою форму, их можно пощупать — но они становятся невесомыми; они парят в воз духе подобно дворцам из сказок «Тысячи и одной ночи»; ка жется, что можно опрокинуть купол собора Св. Павла одним прикосновением указательного пальца, подвинуть назад ре зиденцию лорд-мэра, подбросить в небо колонну, воздвигну тую в память о пожаре 1666 г. В такое утро старинные церкви невозможно сосчитать: их становится больше, чем когда-либо было. Транспорта на улицах не меньше обычного: алый поток

двухэтажных автобусов все так же катится по древним, узким улочкам; тротуары по-прежнему заполнены толпой банковс ких курьеров, мальчишек-посыльных, полицейских, клерков, машинисток, швейцаров, членов правления компаний, секре тарш, жуликов, сплетников и сплетниц и просто праздноша тающихся. Но в такое утро все эти автобусы, такси, автофур гоны, грузовики, а также все пешеходы становятся как бы не вполне осязаемыми; они движутся словно под покровом тон чайшего газа и все одеты в бархат; их голоса звучат приглу шенно, а движутся они точно в замедленной съемке. Все че ресчур новое, вульгарное и глупое неким таинственным обра зом растворяется в особенно густых клубах тумана. А все, что сохранилось от былой древней красоты, остается, причем в идеальном освещении и в идеальной оправе. Стоит завернуть за угол, как кто-нибудь прошепчет вам одну-две строки из Чосера. Если посмотреть в такое утро на Темзу, то глазам от крывается и вовсе фантастическое зрелище: географии здесь больше нет, а есть одна лишь чистая поэзия; вода исчезает, и смутные силуэты из какого-то полного приключений сна скользят прямо по воздуху, мерцающему золотом и серебром. Вот каким бывает Сити в такое утро — это город из готичес кой сказки, видение или мираж.

Scotland Yard is the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police of London. For most people its name immediately brings to mind the picture of a detective — cool, collected, efficient, ready to track down any criminal.
Scotland Yard is situated on the Thames Embankment close to the Houses of Parliament and the familiar clock tower of Big Ben. The name "Scotland Yard" originates from the plot of land adjoining Whitehall Palace where since about the 14th century the royalty and nobility of Scotland stayed when visiting the English Court. The popular nickname of the London policeman "bobby" is a tribute to Sir Robert Peel who introduced the police force in 1829 and whose Christian name attached itself to members of the force.

Мне всегда казалось, что суть хорошего юмора в том, что бы он не колол и не жал ил/что главное в юморе — это его без вредность и беззлобность.

Вообще-то нам не должно быть смешно, когда человек — особенно если он толстый и важный — падает, поскользнувшись на банано вой кожуре. Но мы тем не менее потешаемся. Когда кто-ни будь катается по скованному льдом пруду, выписывая изящ ные круги и красуясь перед толпой зевак, и вдруг — раз! — проваливается в воду, все собравшиеся начинают вопить от восторга. Наш далекий пращур-дикарь находил происшествие особенно забавным, если поскользнувшийся ломал себе шею, а провалившийся под лед тонул. Могу себе представить, как группа пещерных людей стоит вокруг полыньи и надрывает ся от хохота. Если бы в те времена существовала такая вещь, как газета, то заметка об этом происшествии вышла бы под заголовком «Забавный случай. Неизвестный джентльмен про валивается под лед и тонет».
Но под влиянием цивилизации наше чувство юмора при тупилось и такие происшествия стали смешить нас меньше.
