　　今天的句子：

　　Thanks partly to the nostalgic mood defined by Brexit, in the UK too many people in charge still insist on somehow reviving traditional shops. The government’s latest proposal is an online sales tax, which would make up for cuts to business rates, thereby supposedly allowing retail businesses to survive. In some places, such measures might have beneficial effects.

　　A.resulted in a common nostalgic mood
