什麼!過了十年,英國人打招呼還是只會聊天氣! 史上最爆笑的英格蘭民族性調查,再次重出江湖! 「她」違背「本性」、羞赧得要命的,逼自己插隊、撞人,只為追根究底,瞭解英國人到底在想些什麼?且看這位「不天真」的英國人類學家,揭發多少同胞的糗事! ‧英格蘭人覺得:初次見面就自我介紹實在太粗魯!握手禮就太商業啦!而法國人的吻臉頰看起來則是太做作。最好的方式竟然是聊‧天‧氣! ‧到英國洽公的外國人說:「為什麼明明在開會卻假裝成茶會?」「為什麼永遠如此,讓人抓狂。他們為何不願意認真談公事?!」 ‧想粉飾太平,卻不自主露餡的階級意識。嘴巴說:「什麼!我們才沒有那種陳腐的階級觀念呢?!」心裡的OS卻是:「什麼!你竟然以為我會去養一隻吉娃娃!開什麼玩笑!那可是勞工階級才會養的寵物!」 ‧來到英國酒館,當你口渴得要命,卻沒有服務生來為您點餐,千萬不要驚訝!搞不清楚狀況的外國人,那癡癡等待的模樣,成了人類學者眼中夏天最令人不忍,卻也最好笑的景象。 在《瞧這些英國佬》中,芙克絲以讓人眼界大開的方式,檢視了英國人的怪癖、習性、缺點。她將英格蘭民族性放在人類學顯微鏡下,發現這奇怪而迷人的文化,受錯綜複雜、無法言說的規則和神祕的行為準則所規範。她以洞察秋毫的眼力,觀察英國人說話、穿著、用餐、喝酒、工作、遊戲、購物、開車、調情、打架、排隊的方式,以及英國人抱怨這些活動的方式,進而揭露英國人所不知不覺謹遵奉行的潛在規則。 芙克絲以人類學的分析,加上她自己非正規的實驗(插隊、擦撞陌生人等尷尬行動),找出這些不成文行為準則背後隱藏的英國人特性。以學院中訓練多年的學術功力,對自己的同胞開刀,刀刀入骨,既幽默又讓人深思。 出版當年引起了英國人自己的正反辯論,有人認為她洩露了太多英國人的機密,有人認為她一針見血地揭穿了英國人行事風格背後的潛規則。不過所有人都一致同意,這本書實在太好笑了。 不論你是想融入英國社會或是只想尋英國人開心,本書都有助於你裝出英格蘭民族的「特有症狀」。下次遇到英國人,你該知道,是聊天氣的時候了! ◎...
