year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister
Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against
it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at
international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor
Gerhard Schroeder with a hug（拥抱）, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some
political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.
The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which
the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays
in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction.
Surveys（调查）show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they
do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a
third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling
comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or
because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.
Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful
friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one:
