和英国人交流要小心 When the British say "I hear what you say. " They mean "I disagree and do not want to discuss it further." But what others understand is "He accepts my point of view." 当英国人说“我听到你所说的了”时，他们的意思是“我不同意也不想就其做进一步讨论”，而其他人却理解成了“他接受了我的观点”。 When the British say "With the greatest respect... " They mean "I think you are an idiot." But what others understand is "He is listening to me." 当英国人说“出于最大的尊重…”时，他们的意思是“我觉得你太二了”，而其他人却理解成了“他正听我说话呢”。 When the British say "That's not bad. " They mean "That's good." But what others understand is "That's poor." 当英国人说“不算太糟”时，他们的意思是“太好了”，而其他人却理解成了“太差了”。 When the British say "That is a very brave proposal. " They mean "You are insane." But what others understand is "He thinks I have courage." 当英国人说“那真是一个非常有勇气的提议”时，他们的意思是“你真是疯了”，而其他人却理解成了“他觉得我很有胆识”。 When the British say "Quite good. " They mean "A bit disappointing." But what others understand is "Quite good." 当英国人说“很不错哦”时，他们的意思是“有点小失望”，而其他人却理解成了“真心不错”。 When the British say "I would suggest... " They mean "Do it or be prepared to justify yourself." But what others understand is "Think about the idea, but do what you like." 当英国人说“我想建议的是……”时，他们的意思是“去实践或者做好准备证明你自己”，而其他人却理解成了“考虑一下他的点子，但还是做我想做的”。 | |
