若是中国人去了英国,挨罚的次数会比在中国多得多,这是因为英国的法规和中国大不一样,有的规定甚至和中国的相反,比如,行人和车辆靠左行走。另外,英国人执法六亲不认,该罚的款,一分钱也不能少。看来,去英国之前还是了解一些英国的法规为妙。

英国Chav一族(英文)

Chav是个带有贬义色彩的俚语,目前在英国广为使用。这个词用来指那些被认为没有受过太多教育、没有文化或许还有暴力倾向的下层青年或中青年典型。他们代表的时尚在每个城镇流动,流行音乐排行榜上满是chav风格的歌手和乐队的歌曲。甚至各路明星也因为Chav气质遭到嘲弄——包括大卫·贝克汉姆和小甜甜布兰妮。许多人把Chav和一些社会问题联系起来,诸如酗酒、暴力和青少年犯罪等问题,但也有人认为这只是一种新形式的歧视。那么在上8年级的英国女孩Laura眼里,Chav们是些什么样的人昵？
