伦敦奥运会外国游客不得不知的九件事

2.Nobody here can answer any questions you have about fencing. Google it.

2.这里没有人能够回答你问的任何关于击剑的问题。还是去google一下吧。

3.Pay no attention to those bow-tied etiquette experts you sometimes see on CNN International, telling you how to behave while in Britain. These people are generally of dubious provenance, normally live in California and tend to peddle advice that is either irrelevant or out of date. For example, they will often say that Britons love queuing and are so fond of apologising that they will often say "sorry" even when something isn't their fault. In reality, Britons are just as likely to jump to the front of a queue and then punch the person behind them for coughing. It all depends on how muggy it is.

3.别理会那些出现在CNN国际频道里、告诉你英国行为规范的打领结的专家。这些家伙通常来历不明，自己住在美国加州，却试图提供一些要么不相干要么过时了的建议。比如说，他们通常会告诉你，英国人喜欢排队；喜欢说对不起，即使有时候并不是他们的错误。而事实上，英国人也喜欢插队，而且还会用咳嗽把排在他们后面的人也吓跑。这取决于天气有多闷热潮湿。

4.British people may seem to apologise a lot, but it doesn't quite mean the same thing here. In the UK, "I'm sorry" actually means either a) I didn't hear you; b) I didn't understand you; or c) I both heard and understood you, and I think you're an idiot.
