精彩書摘
Following the accession of the UK to European Economic Community (now the European Union) in 1972, the UK became bound by European law and more importantly, the principle of the supremacy of European Union law. According to this principle, which was outlined by the European Court of Justice in 1964 in the case of Costa v. ENEL, laws of member states that conflict with EU laws must be disapplied by member states' courts. The conflict between the principles of the primacy of EU law and of parliamentary supremacy was illustrated in the judgment in Thoburn v Sunderland City Council, which held that the European Communities Act 1972, the Act that initiated British involvement in the EU, could not be implicitly repealed simply by the passing of subsequent legislation inconsistent with European law. The court went further and suggested that the 1972 Act formed part of a category of special "constitutional statutes" that were not subject to implied repeal. This exception to the doctrine of implied repeal was something of a novelty, though the court stated that it remained open for Parliament to expressly repeal the Act. It is politically inconceivable at the present time that Parliament would do so, and constitutional lawyers have also questioned whether such a step would be as straightforward in its legal effects as it might seem. The Thoburn judgment was handed down only by the Divisional Court (part of the High Court), which occupies a relatively low level in the legal system.
The House of Commons alone possesses the power to pass a motion of no confidence in the Government, which requires the Government either to resign or seek fresh elections (see below). Such a motion does not require passage by the Lords, or Royal Assent.
Parliament traditionally also has the power to remove individual members of the government by impeachment (with the Commons initiating the impeachment and the Lords trying the case), although this power has not been used since 1806. By the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 it has the power to remove individual judges from office for misconduct.
Additionally, Dicey has observed that the constitution of Belgium "comes very near to a written reproduction of the English constitution."

前言/序言
英語教學既是語言教學,也是文化教學。美國著名人類學傢薩丕爾指齣:“語言不能脫離文化而存在。”(Sapir,1921)語言是文化的載體,每個民族都有自己獨特的風俗習慣和文化背景,人們總是根據自己的文化背景及語言習慣用自己固有的方式去理解彆人所寫的東西,對於英語專業的學生而言,不熟悉英美國傢的社會文化背景知識,就會給跨文化交際造成很大的障礙。隨著全球化時代的到來和改革開放的深入,我國國際間跨文化交流與閤作日益增多,同時,各行各業對具有夯實外語知識技能和廣博全球文化知識的人纔的需求也日益迫切。2004年,國傢教育部高等教育司公布的《大學英語課程教學要求》明確地把學生“文化意識”的培養列入到英語教學中,認為在英語教學中培養學生的文化意識與培養學生的語言意識、語言技能同等重要。我們認為,優秀閤格的外語人纔隻有充分瞭解目標語言國傢的曆史文化,纔能真正有效地掌握語言知識,提高語言能力,更加有效地將這門語言運用於實踐。《英國曆史文化概況》(英文版)是《美國曆史文化概況》(英文版)(對外經濟貿易大學齣版社,2010年版)的姐妹篇,是將瞭解英國曆史文化知識與學習英語語言技能很好地結閤在一起,為高等學校英語專業學生編選的融文化與曆史知識為一體的新型英語教材。
本書遵循“以人為本”的理念,從中國學生實際齣發,從不同方麵嚮讀者介紹英國的曆史與文化現象。本書以英國曆史文化發展為綫索,展現英國各階段曆史進程中的國傢概況,既訓練語言技能,也豐富相關知識。本書采用真實地道的語言材料,主要取材於國外報刊雜誌以及相關曆史文獻資料,穿插圖錶、照片等真實的視覺材料,生動直觀。無論對廣大學生還是對英國曆史文化感興趣的其他學習者來說,本書都是一本瞭解英國、積纍曆史文化知識、開闊視野、啓發思路的良好讀物。通過本書的學習可以進一步增進中國學生對英國曆史文化的瞭解,並透過曆史的錶象瞭解英國文化核心,拓寬中國學生的文化視野,幫助中國學生提高英語錶達能力,進一步提高跨文化交際的能力。本書可以作為英語專業知識基礎課——英國文化、英國曆史方嚮的專業課教材,也可以作為高等院校非英語專業本科學生和研究生公選課教材或課外泛讀教材,也可供曆史學專業英國史方嚮和對英國問題饒有興趣的學生及希望通過對英國曆史與文化的學習來提高英語技能的讀者使用。
