10、ohnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago,most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weatherspeak.Bill Bryson,for example,concludes that,as the English weather is not at all exciting,the obsession with it can hardly be understoo
11、d.He argues that “To an outsider,the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply,the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman,however,disagrees with Bryson,arguing that the English weathe
