“一生必做哪些事才能死而无憾，对得起大英帝国走一遭？”近日，1000多名英国人参与了这一调查，英国人民的有趣与英国文化的独特魅力瞬间跃然纸上。
一生必做哪些事才能死而无憾？在哈罗盖特的贝蒂茶屋喝个下午茶，尝遍各种美味糕点
基于此项调查，英国人民自娱自乐，整出了一份“英国版遗愿清单（The Great British Bucket List）”。
不知大家是否熟悉“遗愿清单”这一词语？其实，该词是随着2007年美国同名电影《遗愿清单（The Bucket List）》而走红的。电影由杰克•尼克尔森(Jack Nicholson)和摩根-弗里曼(Morgan Freeman)领衔主演，讲述的是两个垂死病人努力完成生命最后遗愿的故事。
“遗愿清单”英语表达为The Bucket List；说来有趣，to kick the bucket意为“死掉”，俗称“翘辫子”。不过，这一表达并不正式，是一种俚语，而且已经很少有人说得清出自哪里了。
“英国版遗愿清单”上共列出了50件死前不得不做的事，我将从其中挑出具有代表性的12件来说，希望有机会能来英国、正在英国的你，也能知道怎么玩才够“英国范儿”。
这50件“人生大事”关乎文化、饮食、体育、风景等等，天南地北，各不相干，但凑在一起恰恰反映了英国人民丰富多彩的精神世界。
1.坐在码头吃炸鱼薯条
是不是没想到，英国人民竟有这么深刻的炸鱼薯条情节？
其实，要想完成英国人民的“遗愿清单”并不难，不需要太有钱，也不需要太有权，有时间、有心情，足矣。就像跑到海滨去吃炸鱼和薯条，不是很容易吗？
炸鱼薯条被英国人民看作国菜，炸鱼薯条店更是遍布全国，多达10500家，数目是麦当劳的近十倍
布莱顿码头（The Brighton Pier）算得上是英国最著名的码头，吃炸鱼薯条不来这里就可惜了
从平民百姓到明星大腕，英国人对炸鱼薯条就是情有独钟。著名影星凯特•温丝莱特和球星维恩•鲁尼都曾在自己的婚宴上摆出炸鱼薯条，保罗•麦卡特尼爵士在宣布素食之前更是经常大吃炸鱼薯条。

对于喜欢安静的人来说，茅根海岸的黄金沙滩是最佳去处：可以冲浪，可以游泳，可以散步，可以偷得几日闲……
2.到威尔士看鲸鱼
欣赏威尔士的海洋生物，请到卡迪根海湾（Cardigan Bay）和彭布罗克郡海岸（Pembrokeshire coast）
3.到阿尔伯特音乐厅感受逍遥音乐节，最好晚上去
逍遥音乐节（Proms或The BBC Proms）：每年夏天举行，主要在皇家阿尔伯特音乐厅；为期8周，每天都有管弦音乐会和各类活动上演
4.去看一看巨人石道（the Giant’s Causeway）
巨人石道：4000块玄武岩柱环环相扣，壮美之境只可身临其境品味。巨人石道位于北爱尔兰东北海岸的安特里姆郡，是远古火山喷发的杰作
5.露天音乐会的野餐
我们只能年轻一次，一定不要错过格拉斯顿伯里音乐节，不要错过和朋友一起的野餐，因为一辈子可能仅此一次
6.站在“伦敦眼”上俯瞰全城
伦敦眼（London Eye）是一个巨星摩天轮，坐落在詹姆斯南岸，静静凝视着整个伦敦
7.伴着火车的汽笛声，到苏格兰的西海岸去看一看
苏格兰最醉人的景色在西海岸，在蜿蜒火车上经过的地方
8.到埃文河畔斯特拉特福看一场莎士比亚戏剧
作为莎士比亚的诞生地，埃文河畔斯特拉特福每年迎来全世界490万的观众前来参观、旅游
斯特拉特福的皇家莎士比亚剧院拥有皇家莎士比亚剧团，是英国最重要的文化场所
9.享受戈登•拉姆齐餐厅的美餐
戈登•拉姆齐（Gordon Ramsay）若一辈子做足球运动员，不一定会让英国人民记住。但是作为“地狱厨师”，他的餐厅已经火热到一座难求，他的名字已经经典到永垂英国厨艺界
戈登•拉姆齐餐厅里的菜，精致得像是艺术品：
10.在英国国际汽车大奖赛上尖叫
英国国际汽车大奖赛（British Grand Prix）是世界一级方程式锦标赛（FIA Formula One World Championship）的一部分，每年在北安普顿郡的银石赛车场举行。英国和意大利的汽车大奖赛是世界最古老的一级方程式锦标赛
11.到英国国会大厦里面去一看究竟
英国的国会大厦面向游客开放，但总是人满为患。不想白跑一趟，还是提前预约吧
12.乘费斯蒂尼奥格火车登斯诺登峰
斯诺登尼亚（Snowdonia）地处威尔士北部，是占地823平方英里（2130平方千米）的国家公园
费斯蒂尼奥格铁路公司（The Ffestiniog Railway）位于格温内思郡，主营窄轨传统火车。这种火车因为保留了古老的特色而成为一大旅游景观，目前主要分布在斯诺登尼亚国家公园内。
哈力克古堡盘踞在格拉斯林河口的最高点，风景这边独好
斯诺登尼亚内别有风情的房屋
斯诺登尼亚有许多远远延伸的海岸，如黑岩沙滩（Black Rock Sands）
精致的小镇、村落比比皆是
卡那封郡的购物街
你看，大自然在等你，静谧而美好
附英文原文：
The Great British Bucket List
Recently over 1000 British adults took partin a survey which simply asked “What are the top activities in the UK you would like to do before you die”.
The results of this experiment led to creation of “The Great British Bucket List”!
Are you familiar with the term “bucket list”?
The term was popularized by the 2007 film“The Bucket List” starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. (The main plot follows two terminally ill men on their road trip with a wish list of things to do before they "kick the bucket").
The British bucket list actually has 50 items on it. I am going to cover the first 12 items and I found a photo for each “bucket list item” that I think illustrates well what the activity is all about. I may do a list of “honourable mentions” in another post that will go through a selection of some of the other equally interesting activities.
British people’s favourite activities range from the cultural to the culinary and sporting, with plenty of sight-seeing thrown in for good measure.
So here are some UK-based activities that Brits think everyone should try at least once!
#1 –Eat fish and chips on a seaside pier
This is an interesting one. Surprised?
Like pretty much all items on the list, youdon’t need to be rich and spend a lot of money. You just need to have the time and will (and physically being in the UK would help!)
Actress Kate Winslet and footballers Wayne Rooney and John Terry all served fish and chips at their weddings. Sir Paul McCartney used to love tucking into the national dish before he became avegetarian.
#2 - See whales off Wales
Cardigan Bay and the Pembrokeshire coast are two principal areas for watching marine wild life in Wales.
#3 –Go to the night at the Proms at the Albert Hall
The Proms, more formally known as The BBC Proms, is an eight-week summer season of daily orchestral classical music concerts and other events held annually, predominantly in the Royal Albert Hall in London.
#4 –Visit the Giant’s Causeway
The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. It is located in County Antrim on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland.
#5 –Have a picnic at an open air concert
You're only young once: Glastonbury Festival was another of the iconic experiences every Briton should have in their lifetime.
#6 –Go to the London Eye
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London.
#7 –Travel Scotland’s West Coast by rail
The top-rated Scottish experience was touring the spectacular West Coast by train
#8 –Watch a Shakespeare play in Stratford-upon-Avon
Stratford-upon-Avon is a market town and civil parish in south Warwickshire, England. The town is a popular tourist destination owing to its status as birthplace of the playwright and poet William Shakespeare, receiving about 4.9 million visitors a year from all over the world.
#9 –Dine in Gordon Ramsay restaurant
Gordon Ramsay's level of celebrity has reached such a fever pitch that it has become very nearly impossible to get a table at the small restaurant that first established the belligerent ex-Rangers footballeras the biggest name in British food.
The dishes are beautifully presented, as the following photos demonstrate:
#10– Go to a British Grand Prix
The British Grand Prix is a race in the calendar ofthe FIA Formula One World Championship. It is currently held at the Silverstone Circuit near the village of Silverstone in Northamptonshire. The British and Italian Grands Prix are the oldest continuously staged Formula One World Championship Grands Prix.
#11– See inside the Houses of Parliament
Houses of Parliament tours are high in demand, early booking is recommended!
#12– Get the Ffestiniog railway up Snowdon
Snowdonia is a region in north Wales and a national park of 823 square miles (2,130 km2) in area.
The Ffestiniog Railway is a narrow gauge heritage railway, located in Gwynedd, Wales. It is a major tourist attraction located mainly within the Snowdonia National Park.
Splendind views: Harlech Castle commands the heights above the Glaslyn estuary.
Snowdonia has many remote stretches of coast, such as Black Rock Sands.
