英美文化：英国人的度假习惯

In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather wasn't very good, even in summer, so a lot of people left the country for a vacation. In the 1980s and the 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once they arrived at their destination, they met with other groups of young people and had one long party. British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, going abroad is more expensive. As a result, more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.

在上世纪70年代，普通英国家庭已经可以负担得起航空旅游了，越来越多的人们选择出国旅游作为他们的度假方式。毕竟，即使在夏天，英国的天气也不是很好，所以许多人选择出国度假。在上世纪80和90年代，英国年轻人富有了许多，他们开始组团出国旅行，如西班牙和瑞典。每当他们到达目的地时，他们会遇见其他跟团旅行的年轻人并和他们共享派对。然而，英国度假方式近几年开始改变了。气候的改变使英国变热了，所以英国人不再需要为寻求好天气而远赴海外。与此同时，出国的花销越来越高，所以英国人现在选择在英国度过他们的暑假。
