If possible, cross over zebra crossings, sometimes indicated with flashing orange lights on either side of the road. The speed limit in Britain is 70 mph (= miles per hour); in built-up areas 30 mph. Careful riding is essential as there are many narrow and winding roads. Roads for fast long distance driving are called motorways. The best known is the motorway between London and Leeds. Road signs are mostly the same as those used on the continent. The same goes for traffic lights. Ex. XII a), p. 97 A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

XV a), p. 98 Кроме важнейших новостей, публикуемых на первой полосе под аршинными заголовками/под заголовками, набранными крупным жирным шрифтом, в газете есть и множество других разделов. Некоторые читатели сразу же обращаются к страницам тематических объявлений, называемых так потому, что все они разбиты по темам, например «Сдается внаем», «Куплю», «Требуются»/«Работа» и т. п. Для тех, кто интересуется тем, что сейчас носят, существуют странички моды. Если вам хочется узнать, где что идет, какие и где проводятся выставки и т. п., можно посмотреть раздел «Афиша».

XVII, p. 100 After more than ten years of debating whether it is worth/ well worth allowing television into the British Parliament, the Lords have at long last permitted the installation of TV cameras in their House. The Commons, however, won't pass a similar resolution. One of the main opponents of broadcasting/airing/ televising the sessions of Parliament live/of putting the sessions of Parliament on the air is Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. To justify her stance she claims that such broadcasts will cost too much. But according to the London correspondent of the American newspaper "Christian Science Monitor" the true reason for Mrs. Thatcher's stubborn resistance is her unwillingness to publicize/to bring to light the criticism of her government. Besides, as Lord Whitelow has pointed out in a recent debate, another big problem is the fact that many MPs just doze off during the sessions. Showing the napping legislators on TV/Airing the napping legislators will surely not boost their popularity. Ex. I, p. 109 mansion — a large and stately house to live from hand to mouth — to have only just enough money to live on and nothing for the future miserable houses — poor unrepaired houses to line the streets — to form rows along the streets dome — a rounded roof on a building slums — a city area of old unrepaired houses and poor living conditions to come first — 1. to be the first to come; 2. to win a competition {also to come second, third, etc.); 3. to be more important to smb. than anything else, e. g.

VIII, p. Ill 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. Ex. X, p. 112 1. In the very centre of the City opposite the Bank of England is the statue of Wellington, the famous English general and statesman of the 19th century.

Out of/From/Through a taxi window you can only get/ catch/obtain/have a glimpse of London. There are many other ways of seeing/doing its sights: one can walk around it, one can go on a two-hour/on two hours' (circular) tour in a tourist bus, one can see the city from the top of a double-decker/double-decker bus; besides, one can take a trip along the Thames or the Great Canal in Regent's Park. 2. If you could fly over Moscow in a helicopter, you could see how much our capital has changed and grown. Long streets, lined with trees cross the city in all directions, and blocks of new many-storeyed/multistory houses (of highrises) have grown up/sprung up/appeared on its outskirts instead of small wooden houses, dark with soot and smoke. Huge cranes stand high above/over the numerous building sites of the capital. 3. The underground/subway is the most convenient city transport/form of transport.

At its foot one may/can always see bouquets of natural flowers, brought by Muscovites to honour the memory of their favourite/beloved poet. Ex. XVI b), p. 116 Лондон утром В то утро, как это порой бывает, дым и поднимающийся над долиной Темзы туман решили сотворить для своего родного Лондона, и особенно для старейшей его части. Сити, несколько 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 воздухе подобно дворцам из сказок «Тысячи и одной ночи»; кажется, что можно опрокинуть купол собора Св. Павла одним прикосновением указательного пальца, подвинуть назад резиденцию лорд-мэра, подбросить в небо колонну, воздвигнутую 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 40 Essential Course  двухэтажных автобусов все так же катится по древним, узким улочкам; тротуары по-прежнему заполнены толпой банковских курьеров, мальчишек-посыльных, полицейских, клерков, машинисток, швейцаров, членов правления компаний, секретарш, жуликов, сплетников и сплетниц и просто праздношатающихся. Но в такое утро все эти автобусы, такси, автофургоны, грузовики, а также все пешеходы становятся как бы не вполне осязаемыми; они движутся словно под покровом тончайшего газа и все одеты в бархат; их голоса звучат приглушенно, а движутся они точно в замедленной съемке. Все чересчур новое, вульгарное и глупое неким таинственным образом 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 открывается 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 готической сказки, видение или мираж. unit four |
