Ответ. Путешествовали тогда на запряжённых лошадьми повозках по плохим дорогам, что само по себе неудобно. Приходилось терпеть холод и жару, нередко ночевать под открытым небом. Но главное, платить приходилось каждому феодалу через земли которого купец проезжал. А земли нового феодала могли начинаться каждые несколько километров пути. В любой момент купца могли ограбить или даже убить разбойники или даже один из феодалов. Защитить от такого купец мог только сам себя, рассчитывая на помощь только своих спутников и поддержку других купцов гильдии. Не удивительно, что по морю путешествовать тогда было не только быстрее, но и безопаснее, несмотря на все опасности моря.
BRITISH THEATRE The theatre has always been very strong in Britain. Its centre is, of course, London, where successful plays can 1В _run_ without a break for many years. London has several dozens of theatres, most of them not 2А far_ from Trafalgar Square. 3Б_Outside_ London even some quite big towns have no public theatre at all, but every town has its private theatres. British theatre is much admired. There you can 4Г_get_ the best of everything – an excellent orchestra, famous conductors, celebrated actors and a well-dressed 5 А_ audience_. Choose a good play, and you’ll enjoy yourself throughout from the moment the curtain 6 Г_goes up_to the end of the last act. Get your seats beforehand, either at the box-office or at the theatre itself. You’ll probably want to sit as near to the 7Б_stage_ as possible.
