其实，这对欧洲人来说并不是一件很稀奇的事情，对我们来说就很成问题了。 因为在欧洲历史上，各国不时会出现这个国家的贵族到另一个国家担任君主的事情，而且还不少。这位完全不会说、也不会写英文的英格兰国王，正是此类情况。1714—1727年在位的乔治一世，是 一位来自汉诺威的德国王子，他54岁时 继承了安妮女王的王位，成为英国君主。不过这不是他不懂英文的理由，因 为他也根本不想学习这个新国家的语 言，也从未做过任何尝试。
A brief introduction of England England is a nation in northwest Europe and the largest and most populous constituent country of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland。
Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total population of the United Kingdom, whilst the mainland territory of England occupies most of the southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain and shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west。
Elsewhere, it is bordered by the North Sea, Irish Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and English Channel。
England was formed as a country during the 10th century and takes its name from the Angles — one of a number of Germanic tribes who settled in the territory during the 5th and 6th centuries。
The capital city of England is London, which is the largest city in the British Isles, capital of the United Kingdom and one of the world’s Global Cities。
England ranks as one of the most influential and far-reaching centres of cultural development in the world; it is the place of origin of both the English language and the Church of England, was the historic centre of the British Empire, and the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution。
The Kingdom of England was an independent state until 1 May 1707, when the Acts of Union resulted in a political union with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain。
England’s National Day is St George’s Day (Saint George being the patron saint), and it is celebrated annually on April 23rd。
