3、ir way of lives and traditions which gets in the way of change.西方文化中不太强调民族主义，现今的西方人和祖先的生活方式大相径庭，甚至和20世纪50年代的社会相比，现在的西方文化都产生了很大变化。东方人总会提到祖先以及祖先的生活方式和传统，这就阻碍了变革。western culture is centered mostly around freedom. freedom to do anything. freedom to choose anything. freedom to say anything. because of th

8、eges given to us by the elite of this world.西方文化中的自由到了人们“自以为”可以为所欲为的程度，但其实并非如此，因为过去的15年我一直生活在西方，这种自由的消极影响是有些人的确比他人拥有更多的所谓的特权。自由其实并不存在，只是社会中的精英赋予我们的所有特权而已。eastern culture is worse because there is literally less privilege unless you live in japan or israel and a few other nations but overall, too muc

9、h dictatorship exist by religious retards, who want to control people to the point people not only hate the government but the very nation they reside in.东方文化不太好，因为除非你生活在日本或以色列以及少数几个国家，否则你的特权绝对会更少。总体来说，由于宗教影响有太多独裁者想控制人们，结果导致人们不仅讨厌政府，而且讨厌他们所在的国家。英国人为什么不把自己当欧洲人i spent a year living in an international

13、作为英国人的我行为和思维方式都和身边的欧洲人一样。i am definitely european.当然我是欧洲人。before this experience, ill admit i wasnt hugely aware of this.留学之前，我承认自己没有真正意识到这一点。as to why most brits dont feel european, i suspect its because of the rather large stretch of water that separates us from the mainland. so brits not identify

14、ing as european is quite a standard phenomenon, i believe.至于为什么大多数英国人都不把自己当欧洲人，我怀疑是因为在我们和大陆之间有大片水域相隔，所以我认为英国人不把自己当欧洲人是很正常的现象。why do the british not feel european?为什么英国人不觉得自己是欧洲人?i am answering the question from a purely personal view. first i regard myself as “english” not british. secondly i do not

18、是如此，我知道它在那儿，关于欧洲我也适当了解一点，但跟它绝对一点关系都没有。这些话千万被跟英国人讲when i studied abroad in the uk, every room came equipped with an electric kettle for making tea.当我在英国读书的时候，每个宿舍房间都配有一个煮茶用的水壶。i foolishly asked the british students, “why do you need a kettle? cant you just make your tea in the microwave?”我当时傻里傻气地问我的英
