Summer in Britain

[00:00.36] Britain is on the go-to list for tourists worldwide but, with the value of the pound reaching historic lows after the Brexit vote, a visit has became more timely.英国是全球游客的首选名单，但随着英国脱欧公投后英镑的价值达到历史低点，访问变得更加及时。

[00:11.65] The summer is a great time to be in Britain. The British Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Tate Gallery are all a must-see for everybody who comes to the country, but there's also a lot of interesting things to do for those who love the outdoors.夏天是来英国的好时机。大英博物馆、自然历史博物馆、泰特美术馆都是来到这个国家的每个人的必看之地，但对于热爱户外的人来说，也有很多有趣的事情可以做。
