很抱歉这部分冒犯到你了，但我通常猜得挺准的。有些研究（参见 Robert Levine 的《时间地图》）把正常的步行速度作为一种非常典型的地域来源指标。FBI 当年在阿根廷抓获阿道夫·艾希曼（Adolf Eichmann），部分原因就是注意到了他那格格不入的步速 :) Venkat
I am sorry that part offended you, but I usually can, with pretty good accuracy. There are studies (see Robert Levine, "Geography of Time") that use normal walking pace as a very characteristic indicator of geographic origin. The FBI caught Adolf Eichmann in Argentina partly because they noticed his dissonant walking pace :) Venkat
……这里的讨论太引人入胜了。没什么可补充的，但我现在真的对那句话背后的民族志非常好奇。1. 这是反美吗？我倒觉得不算。有研究表明（参见 Robert Levine 的《时间地图》），不同文化都有其特有的节奏，甚至精确到了典型的步行速度。没错，美国幅员辽阔确实有点关系，但我认为80%的驱动因素是社会性的，而非物理性的，……
…here is fascinating. Nothing to add, but I am now seriously curious about the ethnography of that phrase. 1. Is this anti-American? I don't really think so. There is research (see Robert Levine, "The Geography of Time") that shows that cultures have characteristic tempos, down to typical walking speeds. Yes, the vastness of America has something to do with it, but I think 80% of the dynamics are social, not physical,…
