British Holidaying Habits
英國人的度假習慣
In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays.
上世紀70年代末,英國普通家庭的經濟條件允許乘飛機旅行,越來越多的人開始出國度假。
After all, the British weather wasn't very good, even in summer, so a lot of people left the country for a vacation.
畢竟,即使是在夏天,英國的天氣也不是很好,所以很多人離開英國去度假。
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average.
在20世紀八九十年代,英國的年輕人整體變得更富有。
As a result,they started to go abroad in groups to places such as Spain and Greece.
因此,他們開始成群結隊地前往西班牙和希臘等地。
Once they arrived at their destination, they met with other groups of young people, and had one long party.
到達目的地后,他們遇到另一群年輕人,并舉行長期的聚會。
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however.
然而,英國的度假習慣已經開始改變。
Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather.
氣候變化使得英國現在的氣溫上升,所以人們不需要去國外也能享受到好天氣。
Also, going abroad is more expensive. As a result, more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
此外,出國的費用也更高。因此,越來越多的英國人選擇在英國度暑假。
