Denmark Weddings
People in many places of the world usually give their lovers a finger ring or a bundle of flowers as a gift of engagement.But in some areas of Denmark,it is still considered lucky for a young man to present his financee with the wooden clappers graved with love-poems,because the clappers ensured fortune and happiness.
To our surprise,preparations for the wedding lasted for many days but were made secretly,because to show happiness openly would arouse the anger and jealousy of evil spirits.
At the conclusion of the ceremony a large jar of the beer was taken to the courtyard.The hands of the betrothed were joined over the jar and it was smashed into fragments.These pieces were picked up by girls of marriageable age who were present,the girl with the largest fragment being destined to marry first,the girl with the smallest being fated to remain a spinster.
丹麦婚礼
世界上许多国家的人们习惯于给他们的恋人戒指或一束花,作为订婚礼物。但在丹麦的一些地方,人们认为送给未婚妻刻满情诗、木制的棒槌是吉利的,因为棒槌能带来好运和美满。
让我们感到奇怪的是，筹办婚姻会好几天，可却是秘密进行的，因为公开筹办会触怒鬼怪或引起他们的嫉妒。
在婚庆快要结束的时候,人们把一大坛啤酒抬到园子里。新郎新娘的手握在酒坛上方，然后酒坛被打得粉碎。在场的适婚女子会把碎片捡起来，捡到最大的碎片的女子注定会第一个结婚，而捡到最小的注定会终生不嫁。

说起格雷的这项发明，还有一段小插曲呢。一年前，格雷的妻子患急病，他飞奔到附近一家工厂，要借用一下那里的电话，没想到竟遭遇无情的拒绝。失望、愤懑之余，他萌发了发明公用电话的想法。经过一年多的反复研究、试验，终于如愿以偿。

100多年过去了，现在的电话亭已经是五花八门，形态各异，构成了多彩城市的一道独特风景线，甚至在某种场合被当成了艺术品。例如在英国，电话亭一律采用木质材料，并被刷成艳丽的红色。巴西的动物保护组织，为了让人们了解当地的物种，在马托格罗索州州府街头，建起了许多动物(如鹦鹉)行态的电话亭。在哥伦比亚麦德林市，电话公司的工作人员背着1台公用无线电话机，走街串巷，为市民服务……

电话，缩短了地球上人与人之间的距离，给予人们无限的温馨与慰藉。电话亭虽小，却是世界的一个缩影。然而，随着因特网的出现和手机的迅速普及，电话亭，这一城市最基本的公共服务设施，现在开始渐渐淡出人们的视线，在一些国家存在的日子已经屈指可数了。例如，欧盟最近正在修订有关网络和电子通信服务的规定，为的是加快取消公用电话亭的步伐。究其原因，主要是手机大量普及、昂贵的维护费用以及经常遭受人为破坏等因素，使公用电话的使用率逐渐下降，并且已成为传统运营商的沉重负担。他们认为在这种情况下，继续保留公用电话，不啻是一种倒退。
