What do Americans find strange about the UK?
对美国人来说,英国的哪些方面很奇怪?
来自@Stephanie Garcia的回答:
I grew up in California but have spent about four years living in various parts of the UK – South, Midlands, and North.
我是在加利福尼亚长大的,但是在英国生活了4年,南部、中部、北部都住过。
The first thing I noticed was that my West-Midlands host family did not sound like the queen.
我注意到的第一件事就是:我房东这一家人(中西部人)讲话的口音和女王完全不一样。
I’ve since learnt that accents change every five miles or something insane .
之后我才知道,英国的口音每隔5公里甚至更短就会变。
As far as America goes, I can tell the West Coast from The East or the South, but I couldn’t tell you a state, much less a county.
而在美国,我能分辨出西岸、东部和南部的口音,但我判断不了他们具体来自哪个州,更不用说哪个郡了。
And Americans often find it difficult to know if the person they’re talking to is even American, or if they’ve come down from Canada!
而且美国人在交谈的时候,甚至都不敢肯定对方是不是美国人,他们有可能是从加拿大南下的!
The next thing I found a bit bizarre was the quiet, stare ahead norm of public transportation – if you talk to somebody on the Tube, you’re probably a serial killer (or a lost tourist, which to a Londoner seems to be just as bad).
