和英国人交流需步步惊心”

  When the British say "I almost agree. " They mean "I don't agree at all." But what others understand is "He's not far from agreement."

  当英国人说“我基本同意”时,他们的意思是“我一点儿都不同意”,而其他人却理解成了“他真的是非常非常同意啊”。

  When the British say "I only have a few minor comments. " They mean "Please re-write completely." But what others understand is "He has found a few typos."

  当英国人说“我只是有一点儿建议”时,他们的意思是“请从头到尾地重写一份吧”,而其他人却理解成了“他只不过发现了一些言语错误”。

  When the British say "Could we consider some other options?" They mean "I don't like your idea." But what others understand is "They have not yet decided."

  当英国人说“我们可以再考虑一些其他的选择吗?”时,他们的意思是“我着实不喜欢你的点子”,而其他人却理解成了“他们还没有决定下来吧”。
