Opening hours – especially Sunday trading laws have also taken so much getting used to.
营业时间——尤其是周日交易法,同样需要花些时间才能适应。
In America, 24/7 fast food, grocery stores, petrol stations, etc. are the norm, and if I want Chinese food on Christmas Eve at 9PM, I have five options.
在美国,7天24小时营业的快餐店、杂货店、加油站等等都是很正常的东西,而如果我想在平安夜的晚上9点吃中国菜,我有5家可以选。
In my first year, I forgot it was Easter Sunday, and was so proud of myself for remembering to go into town for food at 2PM – imagine my surprise when all of city centre was deserted, and there wasn’t a single car at Tesco.
而我(在英国)的第一年,有一次我忘了当时是复活节的星期天,下午2点我突然记起来得去城里吃顿饭了,还觉得挺自豪的——结果我发现整个市中心都被遗弃了,乐购门口一辆车都没有,你们想象一下我当时惊讶的心情吧。

Approaching the building, I saw a large banner announcing opening times, and resigned myself to a life of plain pasta and dry cereal until 9AM Monday, when I’d be able to pay for groceries again.
走近那栋建筑之后,我才看见那条写着营业时间的大告示牌,于是只能灰溜溜地回去靠不加菜的意大利面和干谷物片过活,直到周一早上的9点我才能买杂货。
