As a Brit who spends a decent amount of time online, especially during these strange times, it seems more and more frequent to encounter Americans who have fairly negative views on Britain or her people, so my question to you Americans is do you share the same disdain towards your British cousins? If so, please inform me why you think like that, and if you do not, please divulge what your opinion of British people is.
作為一個花了大量時間泡網的英國人(特別是在那些光怪陸離的時代),我發現自己越來越頻繁地碰到對英國及其人民持相當負面看法的美國人,所以我想問你們美國人的問題就是:你們對自己的那些英國籍兄弟姐妹是否也抱有同樣的鄙薄?如果是,請告訴我為什麼你們會有那樣的看法,如果不是,那就請透露一下你對英國人的看法。0

I like to think the kind of people who reply to light hearted jokes with &34; are a loud minority, but I can&39;ve lived in Germany for a while, I realize that Germans, and other mainland Europeans, view you rather negatively because of bad experiences with tourists. Basically just a bunch of loud, rowdy, drunk tourists all over the place...so basically how a lot of people view Americans. Which is odd cause I think the American stereotype of British people is that they&39;s they they&39;t take internet opinions as reality. Furthermore, people on reddit skew extremely young.
網上的人大多易怒又蠢笨。別把網上的觀點當真了。而且,紅迪網友的年紀都偏小。0
Most Americans are solidly behind the British and would take them above any other European people.
大部分美國人都是力挺英國人的,而且認為他們優於其他任何一個歐洲國家的人。0
6、I personally like the British most out of the entire commonwealth because Britain actually knows what a military alliance is.
(明尼蘇達)我個人對英國人的喜愛,主要來自於整個大英國協,因為英國真的明白什麼叫軍事同盟。0
7、Brits range anywhere from pleasant people with nice accents and a good sense of humor to arrogant and hostile snobs with pleasant accents. I』ve worked with Brits for several years and unfortunately it skews towards the latter.
英國人的類型林林總總,在兩個極端之間什麼樣的都有,從擁有好聽的口音和良好幽默感的討喜之人,到擁有討喜口音的傲慢而心懷敵意的勢利小人。我和英國人一起工作了若干年,不幸的是,我碰到的偏向於後者。0
Frankly many Americans have become quite aware of the contempt Brits have for us and while they have no animosity towards Brits individually as a whole there is some wariness.
坦白說,很多美國人已經慢慢看清了英國人對我們的蔑視,但個人而言他們對英國人並沒有什麼敵意,總的來說會存在一些防範心理。0
8、I』ve always thought that Americans and British people shared an almost unspoken bond. Like for example, when I was in Latin America, there were tons of Europeans, Australians, and New Zealanders but few Americans. While interacting with all of them, I noticed they were almost all relatively stand-offish when it came to me and the couple other Americans. That is, except for the Brits, We spent a whole lot of time fucking around and joking with the British dudes there and our two groups kinda stuck together the whole time. Also, when I was in the Military, cross-training with the British was truly a sight to behold. I mean CONSTANT banter back and forth, all good natured. The British would joke about us being fat cheeseburger munchers and firing guns up into the air at all times, and we would make fun of them for tea & crumpet breaks and being posh British sissies. It was ruthless, but hilarious and a lot of fun. We did a lot of training with a bunch of different nations, including Australia, Italy, and France. But it was nothing like training with the Brits.
(馬裡蘭州)我一直都覺得美國人和英國人之間存在一種幾乎不言自明的紐帶。比如說,以前我在拉丁美洲,那裡有海量的歐洲人、澳洲人和紐西蘭人,但沒什麼美國人。在和他們所有人互動時,我注意到當輪到我和其他美國夫婦時,他們幾乎都有點冷淡。但英國人除外,我們把很多時間都拿去四處浪蕩,以及和那些英國男人開玩笑了,而且我們這兩群人自始至終都混在一起。而且,我還在軍中的時候,和那些英國人一起交叉訓練還真是大有看頭。我的意思是,一直都在互相開玩笑,都是性情很棒的人。英國人會開玩笑說我們都是肥胖的奶酪漢堡咀嚼機,還總朝天上放槍,而我們會取笑他們那喝茶吃烤麵餅的休息習慣,還說他們是打扮入時的英國娘娘腔。那可真是黑得不留情面,但確實很搞笑,也玩得很開心。我們和一堆不同的國家一起做過很多訓練,包括澳大利亞、義大利和法國。但完全比不上和那些英國人一起訓練時的盛況。0
9、Me to a Brit here: Nice accent. You need help with anything?
Me to Brit asshat online: you don&34;can&34; or are being &34;
託尼·布萊爾崛起的那段時間,我在英格蘭生活,然後在90年代末離開,去了美國生活。而且我在加拿大、英國和美國都生活過,我的心得是:就像法國人一樣,英國人覺得卑鄙地批判美國(準確性並不重要)是得到社會許可的,不過,要是有美國人真往心裡去了,或是轉過頭來攻擊一個英國人,他們就(會被說成)「開不起玩笑」,或是「傷到自尊了」。0
The English have a collective problem with self-esteem. It feels like the only way Brits can feel good about being British is if they&39;d say Brits=good, chavs=bad.
在邁阿密,英國人的名聲並不好,原因是酗酒。佛羅裡達西海岸有很多年老的英國人,他們很好地融入了這裡。
我會說,英國人還是不錯的,而庸俗又沒文化的年輕人就很糟糕了。0
12、You guys are cool 364 days a year, July 4th we despise you.
每年有364天,我們都會認為你們這些傢伙挺好的,但在7月4日這天,我們會鄙視你們。0
13、Thanks for not intervening in the American Civil War and deciding to use India and Egypt for cotton instead.
also, sorry to India and Egypt.
(阿拉巴馬)感謝你們沒有幹涉美國內戰,而是決定利用印度和埃及來生產棉花。
另外我想說,對不起你們哦,印度和埃及0
14、I have a generally positive view of British people. I&39;ll meet my British BIL.
(佛吉尼亞)我對英國人的觀感整體上非常正面。我碰到過一些特別好的人。我妹妹在英格蘭生活,我還沒去看望過她呢。有一天我會去見我的英國妹夫的。0
My only complain is what seems like a common practice of British people taking subtle jabs at Americans while talking to us. I just want you guys to know, it&39;t understand your joke, it's that we are trying to be polite and ignore it.
而我唯一的不滿就是,英國人在同我們說話的時候,以微妙的方式黑美國人是他們的慣用手法。我只是想讓你們知道,並不是我們聽不明白你們的笑話,而是我們會試著禮貌以待,然後無視了它。0
15、Having spent a lot of time time around the British I would characterize a lot of brits as 「witty but socially awkward」. I』ve met so many fantastic brits in Scotland, the midlands, and the north but the south of England might possibly be the greatest concentration of assholes in the world (still a lot of great people there just have at least one bad experience every time I’m there).
我在英國人身邊待了很長時間,我會把很多英國人描繪成「人挺機智的卻拙於社交」。我在蘇格蘭、英格蘭中部和北部碰到過太多神奇的英國人了,但英格蘭南部可能是全世界混蛋最集中的地方了(那裡還是有很多很棒的人,但每次我去那裡,起碼都會碰到一次不愉快的經歷)。0
I think the animosity comes from the fact that the British seem to mock other countries more than anyone else while also being hyper sensitive to jokes themselves. Any joke about tea or rain on the internet is often answered with jokes about school shootings in America and then you find out it was an Italian or Australian that made the original joke. Internet brits seem to blindly lash out at the US a lot like internet Canadians.
我認為這種敵意來自於這樣一個事實:英國人貌似比任何國家都喜歡嘲笑其他國家,與此同時,如果是他們自己被人開玩笑,就會極度敏感。網上任何有關茶或下雨的笑話,英國人常會以美國校園槍擊案來回應,然後你會發現這個笑話的始作俑者是義大利人或澳洲人。網上的英國人似乎會盲目地抨擊美國,挺像網上加拿大人的德性。0
16、I think we love the Brits, but find them confusing quite often.
我覺得我們還是喜歡英國人的,但經常會覺得他們讓人摸不著頭腦。0
17、Americans like brits but a lot of times they dislike 「smug Europeans」.
(威斯康星)美國人喜歡英國人,但在很多時候,他們討厭「自命不凡的歐洲人」。0
18、Unpopular opinion but, Northern Ireland is my favorite Ireland....
我來個不受歡迎的觀點:北愛爾蘭是我最喜歡的愛爾蘭…0
19、As a Brit I』ve always found that American’s don’t always pick up on sarcasm. Not a criticism but I never really realised how sarcastic we are until I started hanging around with Americans.
And in my experience, American girls like British guys a lot!
作為一個英國人,我一直都發現,美國人並不總能聽懂諷刺和挖苦。我並不是在批判,但在我和美國人廝混之前,從來沒真正意識到過我們有多喜歡挖苦。而且,以我的經驗,美國女孩很喜歡英國男人!
