大不列顛小怪癖:讀者太太的英國文化驚奇點評

Rate this book
泡茶一定要先倒牛奶、下午茶可以配香檳、找不到電燈開關的洗手間……
搞不懂卻再真實不過的第一手英國生活見習錄!

彬彬有禮、對於全民排隊無比自豪的英國人一旦手握方向盤就換了人格,超車、比手勢、闖黃燈樣樣來,盡情做自己;堅信喝熱茶能消暑之餘,和「tea」有關的單字也特別多,常讓人困惑「Come to our house for tea」到底是指吃晚餐還是喝杯茶;若想參透迂迴的英式說話術,第一步就是在聽到純正英國腔悠悠說出「very interesting」時,自動翻譯成「這是什麼謬論」。

經常需要維修的百年老屋比新成屋更搶手、無法接受魚味卻熱愛炸魚薯條……不論是獨步全球的洗碗法、「六個星期後就會自動好了」的佛系醫療觀,還是高跟鞋平均高度穩居全歐之冠,日不落國的平凡生活總能帶來文化衝擊,時不時尷尬癌發作的盎格魯薩克遜民族遠比你以為的更有趣!

看完補書評。
白開的博客文,以太太視角敘述作者眼中與親身體驗的的英國生活。類似博客/噗浪集合,可以看來打發時間,碎碎唸挺有趣的。

"It's the people that make the place" - it makes me think of Hong Kong while I am in UK.

May HK be able to get over and recover and get Independent in near future!
