W: Doctor Brown, is it true that English people
prefer old things to new ones?
M: I suppose so, the English are very fond of traditions.
W: I was thinking more about houses and other things.
M: It depends on what kind of old things you are talking about. I would always prefer to live in an old house with a garden than some new one. I used to lived in a house that is over one hundred years old. It was really something I am proud of, so yes, on the whole, I think the English do prefer old things.
W: Why do you think that is the case?
M: Well, a lot of people feel not all things were much better made. It also goes better with old style houses. We think lots of modern furniture is poorly made. 三问：
1.英国人喜欢旧车吗？
Q：Does the British people like cars?
A：In fact, we love new cars. In England, people care much about first letter of their car number. 2.你什么意思呢？ Q: What do you mean?
A: In August, each year, there is a new letter before the number on the registration plate. For example, my car is an “M” registration, which means it was made in 2004. People love to have a really recent letter on their number plate. An English person would buy a brand new car and drive it if they had a lot of money. 3.英国人不太在乎穿什么衣服，对吗？ Q: The British people care little about clothes, do they?
