Soda

英国人素来以保守闻名。不过，尽管这样，他们仍旧会以有趣的方式享受生活。今天，我们就来了解他们的两种休闲方式。


Club life started with coffee drinking which began around 1650.Limited to fifty, list of membership of this club includes prominent members of the Commons and the Lords and other distinguished people. However, one of the famous clubs is a non-political club and was given the name the Other Club because its aims always to hear the other man's point of view.

??In contrast with club, there is the popular Pancake Day. It is on the first day of Lent, and usually occurs between February 2 and March 8. It is believed to remind that butter and eggs were forbidden during Lent and housewives were anxious to use up all they had left before the start of the frugal period.

??俱乐部的生活开始于1650年-咖啡成为饮品的时候。由于俱乐部的成员要求控制为50人,所以成员都是上、下议员中的头头脑脑和一些达观显贵。不过，仍旧有一个最著名的非政治性的俱乐部叫"别人俱乐部"，因为她的宗旨是"倾听别人的呼声。"

??和俱乐部相比较，明显不同的是人们非常熟悉的烤饼节。烤饼节在大斋节的第一天，通常在二月二和三月八日间。人们认为此节日是用来纪念斋戒日里禁止食用黄油和鸡蛋类的。过去，在斋戒日前,家庭主妇总是匆匆忙忙地把所有的黄油和鸡蛋都吃完。(转自世博英语)
