To the question “Describe the Englishman”, many of you would answer: “Stiff, polite, love tea and always talk about the weather.” The opinion of most readers would be based on well-known stereotypes that are not always true.
An important role in creating such stereotypes is played by the literary works of the most famous Russian and English writers: the vivid artistic image of the heroes leaves a trace in our memory for a long time and forms an attitude towards a particular nation. Here is an example from the novel Orlando by the English writer Virginia Woolf:
1. In the simplest (превосходная) account the costs are divided into "variable" and "fixed" 2. Double-entry is the most accurate (превосходная) method of book-keeping 3. Before the last (предельная) war less than half (сравнительная) the beef consumed in the UK was produced at home 1. В простейшем отчёте расходы делятся на "переменные" и "постоянные". 2. Двойная запись является наиболее точным методом бухгалтерского учета. 3. Перед последней войны менее половины говядины, потребляемой в Великобритании, производилось внутри страны.
