Day Day Up
原文：
If you ask an Englishman about the Press in his country, he will almost certainly begin talking about the morning daily and Sunday "national newspapers", all of which now have their head offices in London. Later, almost as an afterthought, he may go to talk about the provincial morning dailies, the London and provincial evening papers, and finally the weekly local papers. The dominating position of the. national daily morning papers is due to the smallness of the country, with every large town in England and Wales able to be reached by train in less than five hours from London. A paper printed in London around midnight can be at any breakfast table in England the next morning, except in remote country districts. All over the country, most people read the same newspapers and the dominant position of the London papers may reflect a lack of regional identity.
The national dailies are generally classed as either "quality" (The Times, the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph) or "popular". The "quality" papers give more comprehensive coverage of all aspects of news, while the popular papers aim for a more general readership; they also cost less. The number of newspapers sold, in relation to the population, is higher in Britain than in any other country except Sweden.
The Times (circulation approximately 380,000) is the most famous of all British newspapers. It was the last of the papers to put news, instead of advertisements, on its front page. It made this change in the middle 1960s, when its circulation was still below 300 ,000, and it was losing money. In 1967 it was taken over by the Thomson Group, though its editorial in dependence was guaranteed. Its leading articles give the opinion of its editorial staff, not those of the owners of the paper. It became much less austere than before, and increased its circulation rapidly.

翻译要点：
afterthought：指事后的想法，再想一想。
local papers：某个地区或城市主办发行的地方报纸。
regional identity：指地方报纸因具有特色而区别于全国性报纸。
circulation：报纸的发行量
editorial independence：编辑自由
austere：严格的； 一丝不苟的
The dominating position of the. national daily morning papers is due to the smallness of the country, with every large town in England and Wales able to be reached by train in less than five hours from London.
with引导的是独立主格结构，有自己的逻辑主语every large town in England and Wales和谓语able to be reached以及状语，附加说明情况。翻译时按完整句子处理。
