As an Australian who has travelled quite a bit and been part of many different expat communities, I find that Americans more than people from other countries do this one particular thing that annoys me.我是個(gè)澳大利亞人，旅行過很多地方，也去過很多各種各樣的外籍人士社區(qū)，然后我發(fā)現(xiàn)跟其他國家的人比起來美國人有一點(diǎn)特別討厭。When I am speaking, really about anything, just in general conversation, I hate being interrupted so that someone can impersonate my accent to me.當(dāng)我在說話的時(shí)候，不管我再說什么，就算只是一場普通的談話，我也很討厭別人插嘴打斷我然后去模仿我的發(fā)音。This is how it goes: 事情是這樣的：Me: "...so then I'd probably add just a little butter..."我：“接下來我想加一點(diǎn)黃油······”American: "Buttah! Buttah...you say Buttah. Australian accents are so funny!"美國人：“黃優(yōu)！你居然說黃優(yōu)！澳洲口音真是太搞笑了！”Me: "Uh yeah, so as I was saying..."我：“呃，我是說······”So I have a different accent. I get that. But people not from Australia have a very different accent from me. I don't stop them midway through a conversation to repeat back to them what they said because, well, it's just rude.我知道我口音跟美國人不一樣，但是還有很多外國人口音也跟我不一樣，我就不會中途打斷他們說話然后去模仿他們說話，這樣太無禮了。

Disclaimer: I love the U S of A. I spent some of the best years of my life there. I love most Americans that I have met (except for the jackasses). 我要先說清楚：我很喜歡美國，我在這里度過了我生命中最美好的時(shí)光，我喜歡我遇到的大部分美國人（除了某些蠢貨）。

So...this is not exactly an annoyance. But one thing I notice about some (many?) Americans that I don't see that much elsewhere is, they are eating or drinking something all the time. 呃······其實(shí)也不是很討厭，但是我注意到有一些（很多？）美國人無時(shí)不刻都在吃東西，我在其他地方都沒見過這樣的。

Like, if they go to the movies they're munching on a huge bucket of popcorn or sipping on a bucket of soda through the entire movie. 比如說，如果他們?nèi)タ措娪暗脑?，他們會津津有味地咀嚼一大桶爆米花或者狂喝一大桶蘇打水。

If they're walking down the street they have a Starbucks latte or a Snapple bottle or something in one hand and a phone in the other. Or they are chewing gum. 如果他們走在街邊，必定會一只手端著星巴克拿鐵或者斯奈普果汁或者其他什么東西，然后另一只手拿著手機(jī)?；蚴撬麄冞€會嚼口香糖。

They eat in the car all the time too. 他們就連在車?yán)镆惨恢背猿猿浴?/p>

The excuse I've heard for this is it's because Americans are so busy all the time that they have to eat on the run anywhere they can. 他們告訴我這是因?yàn)槊绹颂α怂灾荒鼙M可能就地吃點(diǎn)東西。

But still...aren't people in other countries busy too? It's a bit of a puzzle.

但話說回來······難道其他國家的人就不忙嗎？我真搞不懂他們。

I get worried about Americans' response if I criticize something about the US. 當(dāng)我在評論美國某些方面的時(shí)候很擔(dān)心美國人對此的反應(yīng)。Europeans and Asians are used to criticism from outsiders more due to multicultural geography and not take that criticism as hate. 大概是因?yàn)榈赜蚨鄻有园桑瑲W洲人和亞洲人都很習(xí)慣接受來自外界的評論，起碼他們不會認(rèn)為這些評論帶有惡意。Every now and then, when I criticize something about the US online, even when I'm very careful with my words to not offend anyone, I still receive some responses like, "First look at your own country!",  "You're not from here, you have no right to say anything."  "Foreigners hate America."我經(jīng)常遇到這種情況，當(dāng)我在網(wǎng)上評論美國某些方面時(shí)，就算我已經(jīng)很控制自己的語言不帶有冒犯意味，我還是會收到這樣的評論：“先看看你自己的國家再來說我們！”、“你不是本地人，你沒資格說任何話?！?、“你們這些外國人就是討厭美國?！?p>

Americans have a lot of behaviors that while not being actually bad things, seem rude to foreigners.美國人的有些行為并非懷有惡意，但是對外國人來說好像很失禮。Americans are loud.美國人太吵了。It seems to be the norm here in the US, so you don't notice it a lot, but in other countries where people speak "normally", it sounds very rude/uneducated.在美國有些地方似乎沒有明確規(guī)定要保持安靜，所以你們就不太注意這點(diǎn)，但是在其他國家如果大家都以“正常音量”說話，美國人的大嗓門聽起來就非常粗魯，或者說沒教養(yǎng)。Especially in restaurants, where all the locals speak softly and politely to each other, and a group of people is like "OH MY GAWD, THIS FOOD IS SO GOOD, BWAHAHAHA, THAT'S THE SH*T DUDE!" 特別是在餐館里面，所有本地人交談的時(shí)候都很溫柔禮貌，但是有一群人是這樣講話的：“哦！！我的天??！這太好吃了??！哇啊啊啊?。。。?！太特么美味了?。?！”Everyone else in the restaurant is immediately thinking "Rude Americans".餐館里的其他人就會立刻反應(yīng)過來：“是野蠻的美國人?！?p>
