In rainy London, always carry your “brolly”
BIG Ben,the Queen,a plate of ham and eggs-no, no, no. If you’re looking for a
symbol of Britain,only one thing passes the test-the umbrella.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—we have rain in China and we have umbrellas too. Certainly, I will never forget the way it rained when I lived in Beijing:the sweets became instant rivers and the sky flashed with lightning for hours on end. People dove for cover under bin bags, the shops were emptied of their plastic ponchos(斗篷)within seconds,and I found myself soaked(浸透)from head to foot, my poorly-chosen skirt and T-shirt now totally see-through. This would never have happened in Britain.
For one thing, during my year in Beijing, it only really rained at about 10 times.
But although we never get a Beijing-style washout in London, the drizzle(毛毛雨)that does fall is all but constant.Even when the sky is perfectly blue, you can be sure it's going to cloud over and start drizzling again within the hour.
And when it does, there is chaos. Trains stop, drains(下水道)block, and buses break down as if this was the first time the local authorities had seen this wet stuff coming out of the clouds.
