I am British, and born in England. If people call me English and referring to me as being born in England, but if they are referring to my nationality, it annoys me. I am British, and have British citizenship. The Queen is the Queen of the United Kingdom, but can, informally, be called the British Queen. People who call her the Queen of England are uneducated, as there has not been an English Queen since the Act of Union in 1707.
我是英国人,出生在英格兰。如果人们叫我“英格兰人”指的是我出生在英格兰可以,但如果指的是我的国籍我就会生气。我是英国人,拥有英国国籍。女王是联合国的女王,在非正式用法中可以被称为“英国女王”。叫她“英格兰女王”的人都没文化,因为自从1707年通过《联合法案》之后就再没有“英格兰女王”了。
The problem stems from a lack of understanding between the differences of the United Kingdom, Great Britain, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It doesn’t help that we have four separate teams in both Football and Rugby. People aren’t taught the difference at school abroad and maybe they should be.
这个问题源于对“联合王国”、“大不列颠”、“英格兰”、“苏格兰”、“威尔士”和“北爱尔兰”这些名称之间的区别缺乏了解。我们的足球和橄榄球都有4个独立球队也没能帮大家理解。国外的学校不教这些区别,其实可能应该教。
