摘要
在大多人的印象里,英国人是古板保守、温文尔雅、循规蹈矩的,这或许有以偏概全的问题,但我们也不妨简单了解一下,再结合自己的经历与其他资料,思考一下是否如此。在其他欧洲人看来,英国人,尤其是英格兰人,最著称的特点就是"保守"。一个保守的人不大与陌生人交谈,感情不大外露,也很少情绪激昂。要了解一个沉默寡言的人是很难的。他从不告诉你关于他自己的任何情况。
To other Europeans,the best known quality of the British,and in particular of the English,is“1)reserved”.A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers,does not show much emotion,and seldom gets excited.It is difficult to get to know a reserved person:he never tells you anything about himself.
