8. Day drinking is socially acceptable and even encouraged.

白天饮酒是普遍接受的，甚至受到鼓励的。

9. There's a LOT of smokers.

有很多烟民。

10. They are protective of their culture. French are proud of their country, and increasing globalization threatens to dilute it. This is in contrast with Americans, who welcome outside influences openly.

他们非常保护他们的文化。法国人为自己的国家感到自豪，而日益加剧的全球化趋势威胁着他们的文化。这与美国人相反，美国人很欢迎外来文化

Edit: To be more specific with #3/#4, I was referring to "free" as in you don't have to be a customer to use a business' internet or bathroom. There were a lot of places that had these amenities but you couldn't just waltz in and use them without buying something first, unlike in America, where you can usually use them whether you purchase something or not.

注：在这里对# 3 / # 4做一个更具体的解释，我指的“免费”是你不必是一个客户才能使用商家的互联网或浴室。有很多地方都有这些设施，但你不能只是在里面闲逛和没买他们的商品的情况下就使用他们的网络，这不像在美国，在那里无论你买不买东西，你通常都可以使用它们。
