关于Bank Holiday 的介绍,节假日也是文化吧??另外给你个网址 主要介绍英国文化的:http://www.learnenglish.de/britishculture.htmWhat is a bank holiday?In the United Kingdom and Ireland a bank holiday is a public holiday, when banks and many other businesses are closed for the day.Bank holidays are often assumed to be so called because they are days upon which banks are shut, but days that banks are shut aren't always bank holidays. For example: Good Friday and Christmas Day are not bank holidays, they are common law' holidays. The dates for bank holidays are set out in statute or are proclaimed by royal decree. The term "bank holiday" was coined by Sir John Lubbock, who felt there was a need to differentiate the two types of holiday.In England and Wales a bank holiday tends automatically to be a public holiday, so the day is generally observed as a holiday. A number of differences apply to Scotland. For example, Easter Monday is not a bank holiday, and, although they share the same name, the Summer Bank Holiday falls on the first Monday in August in Scotland as opposed to the last elsewhere in the UK.TopOrigins of bank holidaysPrior to 1834, the Bank of England observed about 33 saints' days and religious festivals as holidays, but in 1834, this was reduced to just four: 1 May, 1 November, Good Friday, and Christmas Day.In 1871, Sir John Lubbock introduced the Bank Holidays Act, it introduced the concept of holidays with pay and designated four holidays in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and five in Scotland. These were Easter Monday, the first Monday in August, the 26th December, and Whit Monday (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) and New Year's Day, Good Friday, the first Monday in May, the first Monday in August, and Christmas Day (Scotland). In England, Wales and Ireland, Good Friday and Christmas Day were considered traditional days of rest (as were Sundays) and therefore it was felt unnecessary to include them in the Act. The move was such a popular one and there were even suggestions that August Bank Holiday should be called St Lubbock's day!In Ireland, in 1903, the Bank Holiday (Ireland) Act added 17 March, Saint Patrick's Day, as a bank holiday, and in 1926 the Governor of Northern Ireland proclaimed 12 July (Anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne in 1690) as a bank holiday too. This particular holiday is proclaimed annually by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.In 2006, the Scottish Parliament designated St Andrew's Day, November 30, as an official bank holiday in Scotland. But there is no public holiday for St David's Day in Wales, or St George's Day in England.From 1965 the date of the August bank holiday was changed to the end of the month in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The Whitsun bank holiday (Whit Monday) was replaced by the late spring bank holiday - fixed as the last Monday in May.Bank holidays todayThe Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971, is in force today and there are 8 permanent bank and public holidays in England and Wales, 9 in Scotland and 10 in Northern Ireland.Ireland has the same eight holidays as England and Wales, plus St Patrick's Day and the Anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.In Scotland, since the Scotland Act 1998 Scottish Ministers have the responsibility for setting bank holidays. There are other public or local holidays which can be determined by local authorities, based on local tradition. Since 2007, St Andrew's Day has been an alternative, voluntary public holiday, which can replace an existing local holiday. Businesses and schools are not necessarily closed on Scottish bank holidays, and the Scottish banks only follow the English and Welsh bank holidays for business reasons.When the usual date of a bank or public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, a 'substitute day' is given, normally the following Monday.Once upon a time everything shut on a bank holiday; offices, banks, shops, but nowadays many offices and shops remain open, only banks are not allowed to operate on bank holidays. Nowadays, the only day that most things close in the UK is Christmas Day.Contrary to popular belief, people do not have an absolute right to paid leave on bank and public holidays, instead they are often part of their holiday leave, it depends on the terms of the contract of employment, but many people working on these days do receive extra money, often "time-and-a-half" or even "double time". Sometimes people will get time in lieu, which means they get paid for working and they get an extra days holiday, which they can take at another time.People employed in essential services like utilities, fire, ambulance, police, health-workers, etc. usually receive extra pay for working on these days.In spite of the terrible British weather, many people use bank holidays to go away for a long weekend. This means that museums and other public attractions; historic houses, zoos, sports centres, etc. remain open. But it also means that the traffic on British roads can be horrendous, often exaccerbated by essential road works, or engineering work on the railways. According to the RAC an estimated 11 million Britons take to their cars over the spring bank holiday.Of course with the use of modern technology, most banks' telephone and internet banking services operate 24/7/365 - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every single day of the year. 本回答由提问者推荐

英国的“绅士风度”是对英国男性行为举止、文明礼貌、尊重女性等一系列行为规范的总称。这种独特的男性行为规范得到了世人的认同和欣赏。 英国男性的绅士风度突出表现在注重仪表和讲究卫生上。英国男性平日一般都穿休闲装,无论穿什么,从头到脚都很注重整洁和颜色的搭配。一般英国男士服饰颜色都比较素暗,衬衣颜色则醒目一些。穿着整洁被看成是有涵养和有魅力的体现。英国男士上班或者约见重要朋友,都穿上得体的西服,鞋子擦得很亮,以示对别人的尊重。给人印象最深的是英国男性的衣服总是很干净,衬衣永远是雪白的,一尘不染。笔者通过对英国朋友的观察发现,他们几乎每天都要洗澡两次并更换衬衣,同样的内衣有好几件。英国男性还很重视牙齿卫生,每年到医院定期药物洗牙两次。牙齿里有食垢,口腔有异味,是修养很差的表现。 绅士风度还体现在英国男性说话、语气、手势、坐姿上。英国男性与人交谈没听明白时,都要说声“对不起”,以示意对方再说一遍。我有一位叫凯文的英国朋友是一位音乐家。他每次与人谈话时坐得比较直,手势和谐,动作不大,语调适中,显得很有风度,无形中增大了他的个人魅力。在英国,男性与人谈话时动作很多、很大、高声喧哗,特别是前仰后合,以及谈话中粗话不断,会被看成是没有受过教育的粗野表现。他很可能会因为这种不雅的行为举止而失去朋友。 尊重女性是英国绅士风度的集中体现。在公共场合,男士抢座位,特别是与女士抢座位是非常不文明的举动。无论在商场、地铁、公共汽车上,还是在办公室,男士遇到女士进门的时候一定要请她先走。现在英国男士已经不用说“女士优先”的客气话,而是用一个友好而优雅的手势,示意女士先行。开门时遇到后面有人,特别是女士即将走进来,一定要等到女士走过来把门接住才能离开。开车过十字路口等汽车交汇地点,可能的情况下男士一般都让女士先行,女士一般都向男士招手致谢。晚上有时候女性开车得到男性照顾,还会按安全警示灯两到三下表示感谢。有一次,一位女士的汽车挤在车队里难以通过,一位男士看自己汽车后面还有一段距离,马上把汽车后退一段,并礼貌地示意这位女士通过。通过的瞬间,她微笑着摘下墨镜向他招手致谢。都市文明的这一幕让人难以忘怀。 还有这两个幻灯片会对你有帮助http://wenku.baidu.com/view/2c421dece009581b6bd9eb09.htmlhttp://wenku.baidu.com/view/2cfecdd776eeaeaad1f33002.html其中一个不是英文(我还是搞不懂你为什么一定要英文!)。这个也有用http://wenku.baidu.com/view/0c426212a216147917112879.html 我只能帮你这么多 参考资料: 百度文库
