Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice – from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle—is all part of fun.
在英国，可住宿的地方就如可参观的地方那么多。不论你的预算是多少，任何一种选择都是快乐的一部分――从谷仓到小旅馆，从小农舍到大城堡。 Hostel 旅社
Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable--almost like bargain hotels.
廉价、超值的旅社定位在形形色色的趣味相投的重精神超过物质的这类游客群体，而且旅社没有规定游客必须是年轻人或者是单身汉。英国对自助旅行者和背包旅行者也十分欢迎。设施和价格也各不相同，特别是在乡村，有些旅社只比临时住房好一点点，而有些特别舒适――就像可以讨价还价一样。 Youth Hotels 青年旅社
Founded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.
（这种旅社的形式）很多年前就形成了，为了“帮助所有的，特别是资金有限的年轻人，深入了解，喜爱，关心农村。”青年旅行社组织在２１世纪依然盛行。２３０家的旅社网络是探索英国小镇和农村的最佳门户。 B & Bs 床位和早餐
The B & B (bed and breakfast) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B & Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B & Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.
床位与早餐是英国的伟大创举。实际上就是某家的住户为你提供一个房间，小的B& Bs只有一间客房，所以你会觉得自己是这户人家的一份子。大一些的B& Bs可能有４，５个房间和更多是设施，但一样的热情款待。
In country areas your B & B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B & Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs. 在农村，B & B可能在一个村庄或者四周都是田地的独立的农场里。价格反映了房间的设施：通常每人在１２到２０英镑左右。城市的B & Bs价格在每人２５到３０英镑左右，尽管越到郊区价格越便宜。 Pubs & Inns 酒吧和客栈
As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B & B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.
除了买酒和饭菜外，英国的酒吧和客栈有时也提供床位和早餐，特别在农村地区。在那里住一两个晚上会十分有趣，并且可以让你处在当地社区的中心。
Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms. (332 words)
价格在每人１５到２５英镑左右。酒吧更有可能拥有独立房间。

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
是什么使一个普通人成为科学家？他有不同于他人的学习方法和工具吗？答案是否定的。不是因为科学家使用的工具，而是因为他使用工具的方法使他成为了科学家。你也许认同，知道怎么用力对一名木匠来说很重要。你也许也认同，知道怎样研究调查、怎样发现信息对每个人来说都很重要。然而，科学家比这更进一步，他必须确定他对自己的问题有一个合理的答案，并且他的答案可以得到别人的验证。他同时也要努力把自己得到的诸多问题的答案，
