However, partly through bad luck and bad financial advice, partly through

2、his own profligacy in early youth-he was at Cambridge and for some years afterwards a compulsive gambler he had been left with nothing to rely on but his brains and energy. He dreamed of writing a great novel; but he was well aware that while he dreamed and dawdled, writers whom he despised, such as

3、 Bulwer-Lytton, were writing best-sellers. Writing had not been his first choice of profession. To please his mother he spent some tedious months studying law, but his earliest ambition was to be a painter. He studied art in London and Paris before deciding that his talent was too small for him to b

In 1836, while he was still struggling to make his way, he married a penniless girl of eighteen, in the face of her mothers fierce opposition. With con

Its swings of mood

9、 dont bear out its dull reputation at all. Far from always having the drizzly, mediocre summers and mild, wet winters of popular misconception, British weather can switch rapidly from drought to flood, damp cold to oppressive heat. Each dramatic change catches Britons on the hop. The summer of 1976

10、contained the longest spell of continuous heat, while in August 1990 temperatures reached the highest ever recorded: 98.8F (37.1). Hurricanes in 1987 and 1990 caused several deaths and uprooted thousands of trees, Western film style dust devils have blown through the lanes of Surrey, and waves highe

11、r than a double-decker bus submerged a seaside town in Wales. Such violent extremes are made all the harder to bear because national habits, buildings and clothing are simply not designed to cope with them. Few homes or offices have fans or air conditioning to alleviate the summers heat. In winter,

12、heating and insulation systems work at half-cock, while road and rail networks inevitably come to a standstill in anything more than an inch of snow (British Rail, brought to a halt by one light snowfall, said it was the wrong kind of snow). Unwary motorists, villagers and livestock disappear under

13、mounds of drifting snow in a manner that puzzles Continentals used to handling such seasonal hazards. The British have a strange pride in describing their childhood bedrooms in winter. These were often of such incredible coldness that parental false teeth and pet goldfish supposedly froze solid in t

14、heir water overnight. They like to pretend to ignore the weather. They would prefer to pit themselves against the worst the elements can throw at them, rather than make themselves comfortable, which would be wimpish. So, in summers oven heat, they do not hide in tree-shaded piazzas or close their sh

15、utters to keep the tiled floor cool. Their cities are designed to ensure that streets become sweltering canyons, while over-furnished homes become more stuffy. In winter, people frequently dress inadequately, as if out of bravado. Women slush through icy pavements to the shops wearing carpet slipper
