Summer time in Britain
In many places in the world,clocks are put forward in late spring and then put back in early autumn.In Britain this means that the time in summer is one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time which is the standard (标准) time used throughout the world.Clocks are put forward so that people will get up earlier.In this way,the hours of early morning sunlight are not wasted while people lie in bed.Also,less electricity (电) and fuel (燃料) are needed in the evening because the days are long.It was an Englishman,William Willett,who first suggested in 1908 that changing the clocks in the summer months help the economy (经济) of the country.However it was not until World War I that his idea was put into practice.In the Second World War,clocks were put forward by two hours in the summer.In this way the daylight can be in full use.That is why the summer time is also called the daylight-saving time.
英国的夏天时间
世界上的许多地方,钟在晚春时走的都超前,之后到早秋就恢复.在英国这就意味着夏天的时间要比世界通用的标准时间——格林时间提前一小时.时钟提前了所以人们起床也早些.这样,清晨时间的阳光比较起人们躺在床上就不是浪费了.而且,因为白天天长,夜晚就需要较少的电和燃料.1908年,就是这个英国男人 William Willett ,第一个建议改变夏天月份中的时钟来帮助国家经济.然而直到第一次世界大战他的意见才被付诸实践.在第二次世界大战中,时钟在夏天时被提前2小时.通过这个方式白天可以充分利用.这就是为什么夏天的时间被称为能节约白天的时间.
