We all know that Britain and the US are twocountries connected by a common language. But infact, the differences are more fun to observe, asBBC did in a recent story called 8 Situations When Britons Behave Differently From Americans.Below Teens has picked out four for you. Take a look。
众所周知,英国与美国因为使用同一种语言而有诸多相似之处。但事实上,探寻英美文化间的差异更加有趣。近日,BBC就刊登了一篇文章,题为“四种情境:英美人的不同表现。下面我们就来看看其中的四种情况:
1. When someone knocks into you
被撞后什么反应?
If someone bumps into an American, the victim will most likely look the accidental aggressor inthe face and expect an apology. If, however, the victim happens to be British, chances arethat the victim will say “sorry before the other can make his or her own apology。
如果被撞的是美国人,他们大都会直视冒失者,希望对方道歉。而相反,如果被撞的碰巧是英国人,他们则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起。
2. When you get dressed for dinner
晚宴穿什么?
Britons don’t all change into evening dress for supper like what you may have seen in popularTV shows like Downton Abbey. But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinnersomewhere nice. Americans, however, will probably wear a casual shirt to a fancy eatery。
