在你们那里,如何一眼看出外地人
What type of behaviour immediately identifies a non-local where you live? 来自英国苏塞克斯的 Lisa Watson 的回答: For those of you interested enough to give a damn, I live in England - specifically around the south coast, and quite close to the gay capital itself (that’s Brighton to you outlanders). Most of the locals here are white, born and bred, and they know their way around. It’s pretty easy to spot a foreigner. Here’s some stuff to watch out for: Umbrellas. Most Brits don’t give two shits if they get soaked to the bone on their way to work. Rainy is our climate, and umbrellas are extra effort. Going to the beach on a sunny day. The rest of us have just accepted that Brighton Pier is just as fun when it’s raining and the wind blows your ice cream into your gran’s face. Eating fish and chips in public. Seagulls and pigeons target the ones with food, especially the salty, vinegary stuff. Everyone except for naive tourists knows to run home as soon as they get their takeaway supper handed to them. Feeding the offending seagulls and pigeons. No! Demons! Don’t encourage them! Full English breakfasts. A tourist will order a fry-up for the ~experience~ but everyone else is perfectly happy chugging Crunchy Nut cornflakes straight from the box. Jumping the line. We have queueing etiquette. If you cut through, it’s pretty clear that you weren’t raised in the UK. Bothering with bus/train schedules. They just never come on time. Going shopping for fun. You can go to a shopping centre in the south of England, but you’ll just find bigger, cleaner versions of all our awful DIY stores. Most sensible Brits will say ‘fuck it’ and just order everything from Amazon. Complaining about service within earshot of those providing it. Truly a cardinal sin. Using American English. In this country, ‘colour’ has a U in it. ‘Grey’ is spelt with an E. ‘Spelt’ is spelt ‘spelt’ and not ‘spelled’. ‘Sidewalks’ are actually ‘pavement’. It doesn’t have to make sense; just accept it. Or else. 来自 @Ernest W. Adams 的回答: UK here. Complaining loudly. The British moan endlessly about the weather, the prices, the government, and anything else that it strikes them to do, but they do it in a low, grumpy tone. And they don’t expect any improvement or redress. British local [mutters]: “Christ, this beer is piss. I’m off to get a different one.” American visitor [loudly]: “This beer is terrible! I want my money back!” 来自美国人 Laura Chiu 的回答: American here. It’s pretty easy to spot a non-local, but it varies from case to case. Three huge red flags are: Buying tourist shit. You know what it is, and I know what it is. Cheesy American flags, shirts, caps-basically anything stamped with the famous red, white and blue. Of course, all of this is at a ridiculously high price, but do the tourists complain? No. Taking pictures of normal, everyday things. See a flower? Snap. See a local buying ice-cream? Snap. See a restaurant? Snap. You might as well tattoo your forehead with: “I AM A TOURIST.” Constantly asking for directions. “Excuse me, ma’am, do you know where the bathroom is?” “….it’s right behind you.” |
