8、nd my interest grew from there.Finally,after decades,I decided to go.When I finally arrived,the place,at first glance,was clearly misnamed:The east coast of Greenland was an expanse(宽阔的区域) of ice and snow,with no sign of human habitation.One of my purposes of going to Greenland was to make contact w
9、ith some native Greenlanders.I didnt know I would achieve this,but success came in an unexpected way.When I arrived at the Illunnguujuk Hostel,where I had reserved a bed,a young couple and their baby were out front,enjoying the sun and unusual warmth.Greenlanders speak their own Inuit language and l
10、earn Danish in school,and many also speak English well.The young woman,however,was not one of these.Her English turned out to be anticlimactic.When I identified myself,her eyes widened.Another traveler had arrived earlier and,mistaking him for me,they had given him my bed.There was no more space in
11、the hostel.“But dont worry,” she said,as she threw herself into cleaning a tiny house the family owned.“This is for you,” she said.And as if that werent enough,she invited me to eat supper with her family.That evening I sat down to a dinner of fresh fish with a loving,happy native family.When I firs
12、t set foot in Greenland I found myself all but shocked by the emptiness,the vastness,and the silence.I had decided that I would probably never return.And then I was taken into this Greenlandic home.I can now say that even cold,empty,and silent scenery is worth visiting,so long as one has a warm and

15、 any English conversation begins with the weather.Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr Johnsons famous comment that “When two English meet,their first talk is about weather.” Though Johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago,most commentators fail
16、 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 understood.He argues that “To an outsider,the most striking thing about the English weather is that there i
17、s 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 weather is by nature attractive.“Bryson is wrong,” he says,“because the English preference for the weath
18、er has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.” “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves,but in uncertainty.” According to him,the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions abou
19、t the weatherspeak among the English.Both commentators,somehow,are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weatherspeak is a system of signs,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.
20、Everyone knows conversations starting with weatherspeak are not requests for weather data.Rather,they are routine greetings,conversation starters or the blank “fillers”In other words,English weatherspeak is a means of social bonding.28The author mentions Dr Johnsons comment to show that .Amost comme
