  • ……结果就是暴饮和酒后斗殴都变少了。这里有一份关于这个的研究报告:http://www.sirc.org/publik/drinking7.html,或者想看通俗点的解释,可以读读 Kate Fox 的《Watching the English》

    …and as a consequence there is less binge drinking and fewer drunken brawls. Here is a report on this: http://www.sirc.org/publik/drinking7.html, or, for a less technical explanation, see Kate Fox's Watching the English

  • Kate Fox 的《Watching the English》[0] 简直让我大开眼界。我从小在英国长大,对书里的每一个字都深有同感。尤其是关于社交和饮酒的那一部分。去其他文化背景的地方旅行时,我依然觉得难到离谱……

    "Watching the English" by Kate Fox [0] was a revelation. I grew up in the UK, and agreed with every word. Especially the bit about social contact and drinking. When travelling in other cultures, I still find it insanely difficult…

  • ……难免有这样那样的偏见。关于“英国人”我提供不了太多见解,因为这几个组成国差异很大,共同点并不多。但说到我有资格聊的英格兰,推荐看看 Kate Fox 那本极棒的《Watching the English》。书的调子偏温和轻松,所以如果你想看把我们扒得体无完肤那种就别读了,不过观察得确实入木三分。

    …bias one way or the other. I can't offer much on the "British" as we're diverse countries with not so much in common. But for the one I feel qualified to speak on, England, try Kate Fox's excellent "Watching the English." It's a bit cosy, so don't read it if you want to see us eviscerated, but it's well observed for all that.

  • 其实作为一个英国人(也就是这方面的专家),我觉得这个定义相当准确。它很像《唐顿庄园》以及像《Watching the English》(Kate Fox 著)这类书里对阶级的描绘。据我所知,阶级制度并没有什么正式且放之四海而皆准的定义。至少在英国,阶级跟你的收入或者银行存款几乎毫无关系。很多上层……

    Actually, as a Brit (and so an expert in these matters), it seemed a fairly good definition for me. It's similar to how class is represented in Downton Abbey and in books like "Watching the English" (Kate Fox). As far as I know, there are no formal and universal definitions of the class system. Certainly in Britain, class has almost nothing to do with your income or bank balance. A lot of the upper…

  • ……系统要求我扫描护照上的芯片来完成绑定。大体上,英国依然保持着它那种带着点轻微混乱的特性——也就是 Kate Fox 在她的书《Watching the English》中经常提到的“无序中的秩序”——但由于政治舆论的缘故,移民审查制度正在大幅收紧。必须跟一家美国公司签署合同才能和英国政府打交道,这本身就够蛋疼了,……

    …system required me to scan the chip in my passport to link it to the system. In general, the UK retains its mildly chaotic character - the 'disorderly order' that Kate Fox frequently mentions in her book Watching the English - but the immigration system is very much being tightened up due to political sentiment. As problematic as it is to need a contractual relationship with a US company to interact with the UK Government,…

  • 插队这事听着很像 Kate Fox 的调调,她在《Watching the English》里讨论过这个,但要是别人也写过我也不意外。http://archive.thenorthernecho.co.uk/2004/5/3/53732.html 是我能随手找到的最好的链接了。

    The queue jumping sounds like Kate Fox, she talks about it in _Watching the English_ but I wouldn't be surprised to see it written up elsewhere too. http://archive.thenorthernecho.co.uk/2004/5/3/53732.html is the best link I could find quickly.
