簡史:公元前地中海伊比利亞人,比克人,凱爾特人,先後來到不列顛。1-5世紀英格蘭東南部為羅馬帝國統治。羅馬人撤走後,歐洲北部的盎格魯人、薩克遜人、朱特人相繼入侵並定居。7世紀開始形成封建制度,許多小國並成七個王國,爭雄達200年之久,稱「盎格魯—撒克遜時代」。829年威塞克斯國王愛格伯特統一了英格蘭。8世紀末遭丹麥人侵襲,1016年至1042年為丹麥海盜帝國的一部分。其後經英王短期統治,1066年諾曼底公爵渡海征服英格蘭。1215年約翰王被迫簽署大憲章,王權遭抑制。1338年至1453 年英法進行「百年戰爭」,英國先勝後敗。1588年擊敗西班牙「無敵艦隊」,樹立海上霸權。1640年爆發資產階級革命。1649年5月19日宣布為共和國。1660年王朝復辟,1668年發生「光榮革命」,確定了君主立憲制。1707年英格蘭與蘇格蘭合並,1801年又與愛爾蘭合並。18世紀後半葉至19世紀上半葉,成為世界上第一個完成工業革命的國家。19世紀是大英帝國的全盛時期,1914年佔有的殖民地比本土大111倍,是第一殖民大國,自稱「日不落帝國」。第一次世界大戰後開始衰敗。英國於1920年設立北愛蘭郡,並於1921年至1922年允許愛爾蘭南部脫離其統治,成立獨立國家。1931年頒布威斯敏斯特法案,被迫承認其自治領在內政、外交上獨立自主,大英帝國殖民體系從此動搖。第二次世界大戰中經濟實力大為削弱,政治地位下降。隨著1947年印度和巴基斯坦的相繼獨立,到60年代,英帝國殖民體系瓦解。1973年1月加入歐共體。

政治:英國的憲法不同於絕大多數國家的憲法,並不是一個獨立的文件,它是由成文法、習慣法、慣例組成。主要有大憲章(1215年)、人身保護法(1679年)、權利法案(1689年)、議會法(1911、1949年)以及歷次修改的選舉法、市自治法、郡議會法等。蘇格蘭另有自己獨立的法律體系。政體為君主立憲制。國王是國家元首、最高司法長官、武裝部隊總司令和英國聖公會的「最高領袖」,形式上有權任免首相、各部大臣、高級法官、軍官、各屬地的總督、外交官、主教及英國聖公會的高級神職人員等,並有召集、停止和解散議會,批准法律,宣戰媾和等權力,但實權在內閣。議會是最高司法和立法機構,由國王、上院和下院組成。上院(貴族院)包括王室後裔、世襲貴族、新封貴族、上訴法院法官和教會大主教及主教組成。1999年11月,上院改革法案通過,除102名留任外,600多名世襲貴族失去上院議員資格,非政治任命的上院議員將由專門的皇家委員會推薦。下院也叫平民院,議員由普選產生,採取最多票當選的小選區選舉制度,任期5年。但政府可決定提前大選。政府實行內閣制,由女王任命在議會選舉中獲多數席位的政黨領袖出任首相並組閣,向議會負責。
政黨:(1)工黨(Labour Party):執政黨。1900年成立,原名勞工代表委員會,1906年改用現名。該黨曾於1945-1951年,1964-1970年,1974-1979年上台執政。1997年大選獲勝,2001年6月大選後蟬聯執政。工黨近年來更多傾向於中產階級的利益,與工會關系有所疏遠。布萊爾當選工黨領袖後,政治上提出「新工黨、新英國」的口號,取消黨章中有關公有制的第四條款,經濟上主張減少政府幹預,嚴格控制公共開支,保持宏觀經濟穩定增長,建立現代福利制度。對外主張積極參與國際合作,對歐洲一體化持積極態度,主張加入歐元,主張同美國保持特殊關系。現有黨員近40萬名,是英國第一大黨。(2)保守黨(Conservative Party): 主要反對黨。前身為1679年成立的托利黨,1833年改稱現名。該黨從1979至1997年4次連續執政,成為20世紀在英國佔主導地位的政黨。在1997年5月和2001年6月兩次大選中慘敗於工黨。保守黨的支持者一般來自企業界和富裕階層,主張自由市場經濟。通過嚴格控制貨幣供應量和減少公共開支等措施來壓低通貨膨脹。主張限制工會權利,加強「法律」和「秩序」。 近年來,提出實行「富有同情心的保守主義」,關注教育、醫療、貧困等社會問題。強調維護英國主權,反對「聯邦歐洲」,反對加入歐元,主張建立「大西洋共同體」以加強英美特殊關系。強調北約仍是英國安全與防務的基石。現有黨員30多萬名。(3)自由民主黨(The Liberal Democrat Party):1988年3月由原自由黨和社會民主黨內支持同自由黨合並的多數派組成。主張繼續維持與工黨的合作關系,推動工黨在地方選舉及下院選舉中實行比例代表制,在公共服務、社會公正、環境保護等問題上採取比工黨更「進步」的政策。現有黨員約10萬名,是英國第三大黨。此外,英國其他政黨還有:蘇格蘭民族黨 (Scottish National Party)、威爾士民族黨 (Plaid Cymru) 以及北愛爾蘭一些政黨如:北愛爾蘭統一黨(Ulster Unionist Party)、民主統一黨 (Democratic Unionist Party) 、社會民主工黨 (Social Democratic and Labour Party)、新芬黨 (Sinn Fein) 等。

司法:有三種不同的法律體系:英格蘭和威爾士實行普通法系,蘇格蘭實行民法法系,北愛爾蘭實行與英格蘭相似的法律制度。司法機構分民事法庭和刑事法庭兩個系統。在英格蘭和威爾士,民事審理機構按級分為郡法院、高等法院、上訴法院民事庭、上院。刑事審理機構按級分為地方法院、刑事法院、上訴法院刑事庭、上院。英國最高司法機關為上院,它是民、刑案件的最終上訴機關。1986年成立皇家檢察院,隸屬於國家政府機關,負責受理所有的由英格蘭和威爾士警察機關提交的刑事訴訟案。總檢察長和副總檢察長是英政府的主要法律顧問並在某些國內和國際案件中代錶王室。
經濟: 英國是發達的資本主義國家。其國內生產總值在西方國家中居前列。英國製造業在國民經濟中的比重有所下降,仍佔領導地位;服務業和能源所佔的比重不斷增大,其中商業、金融業和保險業發展較快。

Introction United Kingdom Top of Page
Background:
Great Britain, the dominant instrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended e to wrangling over the peace process.

Ⅳ 英國的英文介紹
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain,[3] is a sovereign island country[4][5] located off the northwestern coast of mainland Europe. The UK includes the island of Great Britain, the northeast part of the island of Ireland and many small islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK with a land border, sharing it with the Republic of Ireland.[6] Apart from this land border, the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea. The largest island, Great Britain, is linked to France by the Channel Tunnel.
The United Kingdom is a union[7][8] of four constituent countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom is governed by a Parliamentary System with its seat of government in London, the capital, and a constitutional monarchy with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as the head of state. The Crown Dependencies of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, formally possessions of the Crown, are not part of the UK but form a federacy with it.[9] The UK has fourteen overseas territories,[10] all remnants of the British Empire, which at its height encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface, making it the largest empire in history. As a direct result of the empire, British influence can be observed in the language and culture of states such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Singapore, Sri Lanka and the United States of America, and other less globally influential independent states. HM Queen Elizabeth II remains the head of the Commonwealth of Nations and head of state of each of the Commonwealth realms.
The UK is a developed country, with the fifth (nominal GDP) or sixth (PPP) largest economy in the world. It was the world's foremost power ring the 19th and early 20th century,[11] but the economic cost of two world wars and the decline of its empire in the latter half of the 20th century diminished its leading role in global affairs. The UK nevertheless retains strong economic, cultural, military and political influence and is a nuclear power, with the second or third (depending on method of calculation) highest defence spending in the world. It is a member state of the European Union, holds a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, and is a member of the G8, NATO, WTO and the Commonwealth of Nations.

Ⅷ 英語介紹英國(字少的)
England (i /ˈɪŋɡlənd/) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.[6][7][8] It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west; the Irish Sea is to the north west, the Celtic Sea to the south west and the North Sea to the east, with the English Channel to the south separating it from continental Europe. Most of England comprises the central and southern part of the island of Great Britain in the North Atlantic. The country also includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.
The area now called England has been settled by people of various cultures for about 35,000 years,[9] but it takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled ring the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in AD 927, and since the Age of Discovery, which began ring the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world.[10] The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law— basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world—developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations.[11] The Instrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world's first instrialised nation.[12] England's Royal Society laid the foundations of modern experimental science.[13]
England's terrain mostly comprises low hills and plains, especially in central and southern England. However, there are uplands in the north (for example, the mountainous Lake District, Pennines, and Yorkshire Dales) and in the south west (for example, Dartmoor and the Cotswolds). London, England's capital, is the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom and the largest urban zone in the European Union by most measures.[note 3] England's population is about 51 million, around 84% of the population of the United Kingdom, and is largely concentrated in London, the South East and conurbations in the Midlands, the North West, the North East and Yorkshire, which developed as major instrial regions ring the 19th century. Meadowlands and pastures are found beyond the major cities.
