London

London is larger than Paris but smaller than New York. There are more than eight million1 inhabitants2 in Greater London3, More than the populations of Scotland and Wales together. Inner London is smaller. Here you find the “West End” with its theatres And the City4, which5 is the financial centre of England. It is also the oldest part of London and still has some ancient traditions. For example, the Lord Mayor of London is mayor of the City only. The most important part of the City is the Stock Exchange Which is as important as the Bourse in Paris. In almost every street, there is a beautiful church, often designed by Wren6. Among the places of interest to see are Trafalgar Square, With its colony of pigeons and four bronze lions; And the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. In fact, it is the bell and not the clock which is called Big Ben.

Лондон

Лондон больше, чем Париж, но меньше, чем Нью-Йорк. В большом Лондоне (Greater London) свыше восьми миллионов жителей, Больше чем население Шотландии и Уэльса вместе [взятых]. Внутренний Лондон меньше. Здесь находится “Вэст энд” [западный конец] со своими театрами И Сити [город], – финансовый центр Англии. Это также древнейшая часть Лондона и еще имеет [сохранила] старые традиции. Например Мэр Лондона является Мэром только Сити. Самая важная часть Сити – это биржа, Которая так же важна, как и биржа в Париже, Почти на каждой улице находится прекрасный костел, как правило, [часто] спроектированный Вреном. Среди достопримечательностей [интересных для осмотра мест] – Трафалгарская площадь Со своими стаями голубей и четырьмя бронзовыми львами; И

здания парламента и Биг Бен. На самом деле, колокол, а не часы называется Биг Бен.

Объяснения

More than eight million – свыше (больше чем) восьми миллионов. В выражениях: Eight hundred – восемьсот, Eight thousand – восемь тысяч, Eight million – восемь миллионов, слова: Hundred, thousand, million всегда имеют форму единственного числа. Inhabitants – жители, Inhabited – заселенный/-ая, – ое, Uninhabited – незаселенный. Greater London – Лондон и его пригороды. Центр Лондона делится на Вэст энд и Сити Which … или That…, который/-ая/-ое; которого/-ой относится к неодушевленным существительным, Who… или Whom который/-ая/-ое; которого/-ой относится к людям. Sir Christopher Wren – один из самых знаменитых английских архитекторов XVII века. Среди прочего он восстановил после пожара Лондона в 1966 году кафедральный собор Saint Paul’s (Святого Павла).
