.00]The English Character

[00:08.96]To other Europeans, the best knownqualityofthe British,

[00:14.50]and in particular of the English, is“reserved”.

[00:18.09]A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers,

[00:23.58]does not show much emotion, and seldom getsexcited.

[00:27.80]It is difficult to get to know a reserved person:

[00:31.87]he never tells you anything abouthimself,

[00:34.49]and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives,

[00:39.64]how many children he has, and what his interests are.

[00:43.47]English people tend to be like that.

[00:47.08]Closely related to English reserve is English modesty.

[00:52.87]Within their hearts, the Englishare perhapsnolessconceitedthananybodyelse,

[00:59.11]but in their relations with others theyvalueatleasta showofmodesty.

[01:04.25]Self－praise is felt to be impolite.

[01:08.18]If a person is, let us say,

[01:11.25]very good at tennis and someoneaskshim ifheisa goodplayer,

[01:15.51]he will seldom reply “Yes,”

[01:18.47]because people will think him conceited.

[01:21.42]He will probably give an answer like,

[01:24.10]“I’m not bad,” or “I think I’m very good,” or “Well, I’m very keen on tennis.”

[01:31.34]Even if he had managed to reach the finals in last year’s local championships,

[01:38.20]he would say it in such a way as to suggest that it was only due to a piece of good luck.

[01:43.93]Since reserve and modesty are part of his own nature,

[01:48.54]the typical English tends to expect theminothers.

[01:52.57]He secretly looks down on more excitable nations,

[01:56.50]and likes to think of himself as more reliable than they are.

[02:00.51]He doesn’t trust big promises and open shows of feelings,

[02:04.88]especially if they are expressed in flowery language.

[02:09.15]He doesn’t trust self－praise of any kind.

[02:13.00]This applies not only to what other people may tell him about themselves orally,

[02:18.98]but to the letters they may writetohim.

[02:21.83]To those who are fond of floweryexpressions,

[02:25.40]the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold.

00]英文字符

[00:08.96]对于其他欧洲人来说,最好的knownqualityofthe英国人,

[00:14.50],尤其是英语,“含蓄”。

[00:18.09]一个谨慎的人不太会和陌生人聊天,

[00:23.58]不流露出太多的情感,并且很少getsexcited。

[00:27.80]很难知道一个矜持的人:

[00:31.87]他从不告诉你什么abouthimself,

[00:34.49],也许你和他工作了几年没有任何人知道他住在哪里。

[00:39.64]有多少小孩,和兴趣是什么。

[00:43.47]英国人就有类似的倾向。

[00:47.08]与英国人的矜持密切相关是英语谦虚。

[00:52.87]在他们的心,perhapsnolessconceitedthananybodyelse Englishare,

[00:59.11]但在与他人的交往中showofmodesty theyvalueatleasta。

[01:04.25]Self-praise被认为是不礼貌的。

如果一个人[01:08.18],让我们说,

[01:11.25]非常擅长打网球和someoneaskshim ifheisa goodplayer,

[01:15.51]他很少会回答“是的。”

[01:18.47],因为人们会认为他很自负。

[01:21.42]他可能会给一个答复,喜欢,

[01:24.10]“我不坏,”或“我想我很好,”或“哦,我非常热衷于网球。”

[01:31.34]即使他已成功进军决赛的球队在去年的本地锦标赛,

[01:38.20]他会说它,以这样的方式来表明这只是由于一块好运气。

[01:43.93]因为预备队和谦虚是他的部分自身的性质,

[01:48.54]典型英语theminothers往往期望。

[01:52.57]他在偷偷地往下看更激动的国家,

[01:56.50]喜欢觉得自己是更可靠。

[02:00.51]他不相信大承诺和开放的表演的感情,

[02:04.88]特别是如果他们表达在绚丽的语言。

[02:09.15]他不相信任何类型的self-praise。

[02:13.00]这不仅适用于其他什么人会告诉他关于自己口服,

[02:18.98]只是他们可能writetohim字母。
