When people say they support Manchester United we know they are not actually from Manchester! The real Mancunians support Manchester City!
当人们说他们支持曼联,我们就知道他们不是真来自曼彻斯特!真正的曼彻斯特人支持曼城队!(摘自第7章)
I think that’s the problem with us East-Asian students... most of us are doing Business Studies and Media Studies and the lecturers think we’re all shallow and money-obsessed. That’s a pity, because it was only about 10 years ago that they thought we were all deep and meaningful! They used to think we knew all about Confucius and Mencius and the Tao!
我认为这是我们东亚学生的一个问题。我们大多数人都学商学和传媒,老师们都觉得我们非常肤浅而且崇尚金钱。这非常遗憾,因为就在10年前,他们还认为我们都熟知孔子、孟子、道教什么的呢!(摘自第31章)
-Yeah... rugby players get to act out their violent fantasies on the rugby field, get drunk and behave like hooligans in the bar and then go to work as doctors and lawyers on Monday morning. / -Yes... whereas when football players do that they call them hooligans!
-英式橄榄球队员在球场上可以发泄自己的暴力幻想,在酒吧里像流氓一样喝个大醉,然后星期一早上照常上班去当他们的医生律师。/ -是啊,可足球运动员有那些行为的时候却被骂作流氓!(摘自第36章)

-你想想,如果中国媒体说你们国家的坏话,你会感觉怎么样?/ -什么?英国?我们天天挨批评!伊拉克战争、王室丑闻……北爱尔兰!我们对这些都无所谓了。你知道吗,有时候我很担心,英国人似乎已经没有国家荣誉感了。一切爱国主义的东西都成了笑料。(摘自第44章)

这是我见过的最有趣也最实用的一本留学书。里面既有丰富的口语用法,又不露痕迹地融入了英国文化和风俗习惯。读这本书,在掌握语言的同时,那个对你来说既遥远又充满未知数的国度也慢慢显得不那么陌生。书中的场景都是我亲身经历过的,现在读起来,那些留学生活的点滴片段就如同电影慢镜一般一幕幕重现。我想说,如果当初我在走出国门之前能拿到这本书,也许能少走很多弯路。
