In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in household goods, sometimes even in clothes.
The furniture may often be "antique" and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable pieces will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished(擦亮的) wooden boxes and tables, you can’t help thinking sadly of those long—dead hands which polished that wood, of those now—closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.
The books, too, may be antique and very valuable; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move to a new place his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which was once only a sheep market, but which has now become a huge bookshop as well. And now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.
Although the British do not worship their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down; they are restored until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured(珍藏) for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.
