In Britain, winter is not very cold and summer is not very hot. There is not a great difference between summer and winter. Why is this? Because it is an island country. In winter the winds from the sea bring warm air to Britain. And in summer the winds from the sea bring cool air to Britain.

　　The west winds blow over Britain all the year. They are wet winds. They bring rain to Britain all the year. The west of Britain is wetter than the east. The east of Britain is drier than the west.

　　在英国，冬天不太冷，夏天不太热。夏天和冬天没有太大的区别。这是为什么呢？因为它是一个岛国。冬天海风给英国吹来了暖空气，而夏天海风给英国吹来了冷空气。

　　英国一年到头刮着西风。它们是湿润的风，终年给英国带来雨水。英国西部比东部要更湿润些。英国东部比西部干燥。
