to them. Anthony Panizzi designed the famous circular Reading Room at the
British Museum. The first thing that strikes a visitor is its unusual shape. It
is a perfect circle
III. Read, translate and reproduce the dialogues:
Dialogue 1.
- I think we’ll get off the bus near the circus …
- Do you mean to invite me to a circus show? I’d love to see it in
London.
- Oh, no. I mean Piccadilly Circus. It’s just a square.
- I see. Why is it called that? Is it round, or what?
- Well? It isn’t exactly round. As a matter of fact any open space
where a number of streets meet can be called a circus. You can
come across them all over England. But when a Londoner speaks of
the Circus he means Piccadilly Circus.
Dialogue 2.
- I suppose you’ve been to Covent Garden?
- Covent Garden? I’m afraid not. I have only been to Green Park,
Regent’s Park and Kensington Gardens.
- Dear me! Don’t you know what Covent Garden is?
- I certainly do. It’s the Royal Opera House. I was just pulling your
leg. (дурачить, разыгрывать).
Dialogue 3.
- While seeing the Tower of London, have you noticed several ravens
in the courtyard?
- Oh, yes, I have, there were some.
- There’s a belief that the British Empire will come to an end when
those ravens leave the Tower.
- Well, but as far as I know the British Empire does not exist any
more, though the ravens are still there.
- That’s right. Their wings are clipped. (to clip – подрезать).
Dialogue 4.
- Why, it’s No 10 Downing Street!
- Exactly so. Here the Prime Minester of Britain lives.
- And where’s the residence of the Queen?
- The London residence of the British Kings is Buckingham Palace.
When the Queen is in residence the Royal Standartd is flown at the
mast-head. (флагшток).
