英國(guó)人為什么總愛(ài)道歉?你知道嗎?今天小編給大家?guī)?lái)了英國(guó)人為什么總愛(ài)道歉，希望可以幫助到大家，下面小編就和大家分享，來(lái)欣賞一下吧。
英國(guó)人為什么總愛(ài)道歉?
United States, “sorry” has a few widely used meanings.
“sorry”這個(gè)詞在英國(guó)的含義和別處完全不一樣。在美國(guó)，“sorry”這個(gè)詞有幾個(gè)廣泛應(yīng)用的含義：
(1) As a form of apology. I’m sorry I kicked your shin.
(1)用來(lái)道歉。很抱歉踢到你腿了。
(2) As an expression of sympathy. I’m sorry for your loss.
(2)表達(dá)同情。對(duì)你的損失我深感遺憾。
(3) As an adjective meaning inadequate. You are a sorry specimen.
(3)形容“不合適”。你這個(gè)家伙不合適。
To these, the British add
說(shuō)到這兒，英國(guó)人要補(bǔ)充一句
(4) As an interjection meaning “I didn’t hear you, could you repeat that?”
(4)用作插入語(yǔ)“我沒(méi)聽(tīng)清，你能重復(fù)一下嗎?”
A: "Lie nuff cacophany?"
“謊話連篇?”
B: "Sorry?"
“抱歉能再說(shuō)一遍嗎?”
A: "I said, would you like another cup of coffee?"
“我說(shuō)，你再來(lái)杯咖啡嗎?”
I’m terribly sorry but we’re just doing it to be polite. Much like Japan, when your country develops it’s sense of manners under a system where armed warriors are the norm (knights/samurai), you tend to establish patterns of speech designed to reduce aggression.
我特別抱歉我們這樣說(shuō)只是為了表達(dá)禮貌。這一點(diǎn)跟日本人很像，當(dāng)你們國(guó)家的禮儀是在武裝力量常規(guī)化的體制(騎士和武士)下發(fā)展出來(lái)的話，你們就傾向于利用語(yǔ)言來(lái)降低攻擊性。
At this point the swords are more or less gone, but the speech patterns are traditional and cultural so we carry on carrying on.
現(xiàn)在武力幾乎已經(jīng)消失了，但語(yǔ)言模式仍保留著傳統(tǒng)和文化特點(diǎn)，所以我們繼續(xù)說(shuō)著“sorry”。
Sorry if that doesn’t illuminate it for you.
如果沒(méi)解釋明白我深感抱歉。
英國(guó)王室母親節(jié)的6個(gè)傳統(tǒng),其中一個(gè)你肯定做不到
5 Royal Family Mother's Day Traditions You Probably Have Too, and 1 You Definitely Don't
英國(guó)王室母親節(jié)的6個(gè)傳統(tǒng)，其中一個(gè)你肯定做不到
Mother's Day is on May 12 this year, but for our friends across the pond, it's already come and gone (it was on March 31 in the UK). And since the royal family is currently busy with all things royal baby, you may not have noticed their very low-key celebrations.
今年的母親節(jié)是5月12日，但對(duì)于大西洋彼岸的朋友來(lái)說(shuō)，它已經(jīng)成為了過(guò)去式(英國(guó)的母親節(jié)是3月31日)。而由于王室目前正忙于新王室寶寶的事情，你可能沒(méi)有在意他們非常低調(diào)的母親節(jié)慶祝活動(dòng)。
In the UK, Mother's Day is traditionally known as Mothering Sunday because it revolves around church. And while the royals may go all out and have fancy photo ops for other church holidays like Christmas, Mother's Day is a lot quieter — they usually all stay out of the public eye. On this day, they're a lot more like us! Since they already celebrated, keep reading to find out exactly what they do to get inspiration for your own mom — or "mum"!
在英國(guó)，母親節(jié)傳統(tǒng)上被稱為“母親星期天”，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)節(jié)日和教堂緊密相關(guān)。雖然王室成員會(huì)在圣誕節(jié)等宗教節(jié)日時(shí)外出拍攝很多官方照片，但在母親節(jié)時(shí)他們會(huì)清閑一些，通常都會(huì)遠(yuǎn)離公眾視線。在這一天，他們就像普通人一樣!既然他們已經(jīng)慶祝過(guò)了，那就來(lái)看看他們到底做了些什么，以便讓每個(gè)人得到如何慶祝母親的節(jié)日的靈感!
1 Stay Out of the Public Eye
1 遠(yuǎn)離公眾視線
There actually aren't a ton of things the monarchy does on this special day. In fact, more often than not, they stay out of the public eye and spend quality time with family — as they should! Last year, for example, Prince Harry brought then-fiancée Meghan Markle to see the queen, and they were only photographed out and about the next day, which was Commonwealth Day.
事實(shí)上，在這個(gè)節(jié)日里，王室并沒(méi)有很多事情要做。他們往往遠(yuǎn)離公眾視線，與家人共度美好時(shí)光，而這本就是他們應(yīng)得的時(shí)光。例如去年，哈里王子帶著當(dāng)時(shí)的未婚妻梅根·馬克爾去見(jiàn)女王，到了第二天即英聯(lián)邦紀(jì)念日，他們才被拍到外出活動(dòng)。
2 Give Flowers to Their Mums
2 送上鮮花
Since the beginning of the Mothering Sunday holiday, children have given their mums flowers and small gifts, and the royal family sticks with this tradition. Flowers are usually at the top of the list for all British families on this holiday, but cards and gifts have made their way into the celebration in more recent years.
母親節(jié)一到，孩子們就會(huì)給媽媽送上鮮花和小禮物，而英國(guó)王室也堅(jiān)持這一傳統(tǒng)。鮮花通常是所有英國(guó)家庭在母親節(jié)的首選禮物，不過(guò)近年來(lái)，賀卡和禮物也加入了節(jié)日禮物之列。
3 Release Photos to the Public
3 發(fā)個(gè)“朋友圈”
Although this doesn't happen every year, the royal family have been known to release unseen photos to the public on Mother's Day. For example, Prince William and his family released an adorable family photo on Mother's Day back in 2014 when it was just little Prince George and his parents. In 2018, the royal family unveiled a never-before-seen picture of Queen Elizabeth II and her family — including all of her children and husband Prince Philip — at their more private residence, Frogmore, from 1965. It's basically our version of Facebook photos.
英國(guó)王室通常會(huì)在母親節(jié)這天向公眾發(fā)布一些未曾公開(kāi)的照片，不過(guò)這不是每年的例行傳統(tǒng)。例如，2014年母親節(jié)時(shí)，威廉王子和他的家人發(fā)布了一張可愛(ài)的全家福，照片中是喬治小王子和他的父母。2018年，英國(guó)王室發(fā)布了一張從未公開(kāi)過(guò)的伊麗莎白女王二世和她的家人的照片，其中包括她所有的孩子和丈夫菲利普親王。這張照片拍攝于1965年，地點(diǎn)是他們私密的住所Frogmore。這就像我們發(fā)個(gè)朋友圈一樣。
4 Spend Time With Their Mothers
4 共度美好時(shí)光
Like all children try and do, the royal family spend time with their respective mothers on this special day. Kate Middleton has been known to spend time with her royal side of the family and then head out to Berkshire to see her own mother, Carole Middleton. Some of the royal family even attend events together with their moms, like Zara Tindall and Princess Anne, who love to attend any and all horse races/shows together in the Spring.
和所有孩子一樣，王室在這一節(jié)日中也會(huì)和母親共度這一天。凱特王妃在當(dāng)天和王室成員待一段時(shí)間后，會(huì)前往伯克郡看望自己的母親Carole Middleton。一些皇室成員甚至和他們的母親一起參加活動(dòng)，如Zara Tindall和Anne公主，她們喜歡在春天一起參加所有的賽馬比賽或表演。
5 Spend Time at Frogmore
5 在Frogmore享受時(shí)光
While the royal family doesn't disclose where they spend time on all of their holidays, they have reportedly spent numerous special occasions at Frogmore House, which is where this Mother's Day photo was taken many moons ago. It's known as a "favorite royal retreat," and it's where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took their engagement photos and where they live. This is one tradition we can't really relate to since most people don't have multiple estates!
雖然英國(guó)王室沒(méi)有透露過(guò)他們的假期都在哪里度過(guò)，但據(jù)報(bào)道，他們?cè)贔rogmore的別墅里度過(guò)了許多值得紀(jì)念的日子，母親節(jié)的照片就是多天前在那里拍攝的。這是“最受歡迎的皇家靜修地”，也是哈里王子和梅根·馬克爾訂婚照的拍攝地，以及他們的住所。這是唯一一個(gè)我們無(wú)法做到的，因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)人沒(méi)有這么多處房產(chǎn)。
6 Attend Church
6 宗教祭拜
You can't have Mothering Sunday without attending church. Over the years, the queen has been spotted at mass at numerous locations, including churches in Sussex and Windsor, and we wouldn't expect anything less.
如果不參加宗教祭拜，那母親節(jié)就白過(guò)了。多年來(lái)，女王參加了各地的彌撒，包括蘇塞克斯和溫莎的教堂，而她參加的宗教活動(dòng)肯定遠(yuǎn)不如此。
英國(guó)人不喜歡English這個(gè)詞
General rule:
通常情況是：
People who are English won't care
英格蘭人不介意
Welsh will care and think you're an idiot
威爾士人會(huì)介意并認(rèn)為你是白癡
Scots will really care, and think you an idiot
蘇格蘭人真的會(huì)介意并認(rèn)為你是白癡
Roughly 50% of people in Northern Ireland will really, really care and think you're either an idiot or being deliberately provocative
幾乎50%的北愛(ài)爾蘭人真的真的會(huì)介意，認(rèn)為你要么是白癡，要么是故意挑釁
So it's not a great strategy. Use “British” if you have to use only one word. For Northern Ireland, I'd always say “Northern Irish” though this has the potential to annoy some unionists/loyalists. Better to take that risk than to say “British” to nationalists/republicans though.
所以這么說(shuō)并不合適。如果只能說(shuō)一個(gè)詞就說(shuō)“英國(guó)人”。對(duì)于北愛(ài)爾蘭人，我總會(huì)叫他們“北愛(ài)爾蘭人”，雖然這有可能會(huì)惹惱某些聯(lián)合主義者或反對(duì)獨(dú)立的人，但冒這個(gè)險(xiǎn)也要比對(duì)民族獨(dú)立主義者或共和主義者說(shuō)“英國(guó)人”要好。
I am British, and born in England. If people call me English and referring to me as being born in England, but if they are referring to my nationality, it annoys me. I am British, and have British citizenship. The Queen is the Queen of the United Kingdom, but can, informally, be called the British Queen. People who call her the Queen of England are uneducated, as there has not been an English Queen since the Act of Union in 1707.
我是英國(guó)人，出生在英格蘭。如果人們叫我“英格蘭人”指的是我出生在英格蘭可以，但如果指的是我的國(guó)籍我就會(huì)生氣。我是英國(guó)人，擁有英國(guó)國(guó)籍。女王是聯(lián)合國(guó)的女王，在非正式用法中可以被稱為“英國(guó)女王”。叫她“英格蘭女王”的人都沒(méi)文化，因?yàn)樽詮?707年通過(guò)《聯(lián)合法案》之后就再?zèng)]有“英格蘭女王”了。
The problem stems from a lack of understanding between the differences of the United Kingdom, Great Britain, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It doesn’t help that we have four separate teams in both Football and Rugby. People aren’t taught the difference at school abroad and maybe they should be.
這個(gè)問(wèn)題源于對(duì)“聯(lián)合王國(guó)”、“大不列顛”、“英格蘭”、“蘇格蘭”、“威爾士”和“北愛(ài)爾蘭”這些名稱之間的區(qū)別缺乏了解。我們的足球和橄欖球都有4個(gè)獨(dú)立球隊(duì)也沒(méi)能幫大家理解。國(guó)外的學(xué)校不教這些區(qū)別，其實(shí)可能應(yīng)該教。
Depends which of the four countries they're from. If you refer to an English person as being from England, then no. However, if they're from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, they will be most definitely annoyed. The name UK is more of a political umbrella term that covers all four countries, but the individual country names represent history and culture. Any citizen can be referred to as from the UK, but to be honest they'd probably prefer being referred to as from England, Scotland, Wales or N. Ireland. If they have an obvious recognisable accent, use one of the four to describe them. If they don't, stay safe and say U.K. or British. They'll probably tell you where they're from, and then you say English, Scottish, Welsh or N. Irish. But never refer to someone who is definitely from Scotland, Wales or N. Ireland as from England, cause you'll come across as ignorant and offend them.
這取決于來(lái)自4個(gè)國(guó)家中的哪一個(gè)。如果你說(shuō)英格蘭人來(lái)自英格蘭，他們不生氣。然而如果來(lái)自蘇格蘭、威爾士或北愛(ài)爾蘭那絕對(duì)會(huì)生氣。“聯(lián)合王國(guó)”這個(gè)名字更像是一個(gè)政治全稱，涵蓋了4個(gè)國(guó)家，但每個(gè)國(guó)家的名字都代表了各自的歷史和文化。你可以對(duì)任何人說(shuō)他來(lái)自“英國(guó)”。但說(shuō)實(shí)話，他們更喜歡被人說(shuō)是來(lái)自英格蘭、蘇格蘭、威爾士或北愛(ài)爾蘭。如果他們的口音很容易分辨，那就用這4個(gè)國(guó)家中的一個(gè)來(lái)稱呼他們。如果口音不明顯，為了安全起見(jiàn)，還是說(shuō)“聯(lián)合王國(guó)”或“英國(guó)”吧。他們可能會(huì)告訴你他們來(lái)自哪里，那你就叫他們“英格蘭人”、“蘇格蘭人”、“威爾士人”或“北愛(ài)爾蘭人”。但絕對(duì)不要把你確定知道來(lái)自蘇格蘭、威爾士或北愛(ài)爾蘭的人說(shuō)成是來(lái)自英格蘭，那樣你會(huì)被認(rèn)為很無(wú)知，會(huì)冒犯到他們。
