Are citizens of the United Kingdom annoyed when people use the term England to refer to them?

当人们用“英格兰”代指整个英国时英国人会生气吗？

General rule:

通常情况是：

•People who are English won't care

•英格兰人不介意

•Welsh will care and think you're an idiot

•威尔士人会介意并认为你是白痴

•Scots will really care, and think you an idiot

•苏格兰人真的会介意并认为你是白痴

•Roughly 50% of people in Northern Ireland will really, really care and think you're either an idiot or being deliberately provocative

•几乎50%的北爱尔兰人真的真的会介意，认为你要么是白痴，要么是故意挑衅

So it's not a great strategy. Use “British” if you have to use only one word. For Northern Ireland, I'd always say “Northern Irish” though this has the potential to annoy some unionists/loyalists. Better to take that risk than to say “British” to nationalists/republicans though.

所以这么说并不合适。如果只能说一个词就说“英国人”。对于北爱尔兰人，我总会叫他们“北爱尔兰人”，虽然这有可能会惹恼某些联合主义者或反对独立的人，但冒这个险也要比对民族独立主义者或共和主义者说“英国人”要好。
