軍情 07-20

專欄 | 老外看中國

鐵血軍事特色欄目，帶你了解老外網友對國際大事的看法。一起來看不同文化熏陶下的各國網友究竟會發生怎樣的思想碰撞。

作為世界第一貿易大國、第二經濟大國，如今在中國的跨境人口流入數量，已經相當可觀：

2011年-2018年間，我國大陸地區入境外國旅遊者人數從2221.0萬人次增長到4163.2萬人次，其中常住外籍人員更是達到了102萬人！

不同的國家帶來了不同的風情，不同的風情本質其實是各國的差異，那麼，對於那些正居住在中國，或者曾經來過中國的外國人而言，有哪些事，是在自己的國家很常見，但在中國卻很少見？

In Sweden，when you drive somewhere, you have a very good chance to collide with an elk; you shrug and go regardless。But in China, I have never seen a wild elk or a wild animal. The cities here are vast and continuous.

在瑞典，當你開車去某個地方的時候，你很有可能會在中途撞死一頭麋鹿;不過沒關係，你直接開車走就行了，不需要為此承擔什麼責任。但在中國，我從未見過野生麋鹿或野生動物。這裡的城市遼闊而連續。

2、Loneliness in the North

I am Danish. My hometown is in the Arctic Circle.in winter, you go to work in the dark and you come home in the dark。

我是丹麥人，我所在的家鄉位於北極圈內，當冬天到來時，你會在黑暗中上班，然後又在黑暗中下班回家。

In order to pass the hard Extreme night, also at work, you are expected to religiously attend a coffee and pastry break called 「fika」 twice a day in which you absolutely have to socialise with your colleagues and talk dog or car or snowmobile or what have you。

為了度過難熬的極夜，在工作中，你要參加一個名為「fika」的休息活動，喝點咖啡吃些點心，每天兩次。在這段時間裡，你必須要和同事們進行社交活動，聊寵物、聊汽車、聊雪地摩托等等

Of course, you may hang out naked with your buddies, in a sauna，But in China, all this is unimaginable, where the average person usually only has "working friends" and "life friends", people pay more attention to personal space.

當然，你還可以和你的夥伴們在桑拿房裡赤身玩耍。但是在中國，這一切都是不可想像的，在這裡，一般的人通常只有「工作朋友」和「生活朋友」，大家更加註重個人空間。

I find that Germany is different from China in many ways:

我發現德國在很多方面與中國不同：

Church Tax ( German Kirchensteuer) - The salaried employees who follow the christian religion (also Jewish I heard) need to contribute 8–9% of their annual income tax towards the church tax officially. But in China, Taoism and Buddhism have never had the right to tax.

教堂稅——信奉基督教的人需要將他們年收入的8-9%正式繳納給教堂。但在中國，道教和佛教從來沒有徵稅權。

Licence fee (German Rundfunkbeitrag ) - The residents need to pay 17.50 per month as a licence fee that covers all public service programs on all distributive TV and radio channels.But in China, public television stations will not charge for it.

許可費——居民每月需要支付17.50歐元的許可費，才能觀看電視和廣播頻道的所有公共服務節目。但是在中國，公共電視台不會收費

Driving license (German Führerschein) is an expensive affair - On an average, people spent around 1500 to 2200 on driving license depending on their skills，But in China, if you pass the exam, your driver"s license is very cheap.

駕駛執照，在德國，拿駕照是一件昂貴的事情——平均來說，人們在駕照上花費的金額大約為1500到2200歐元，但是在中國，如果你考試及格的話，那麼，駕駛執照是很便宜的。

4、Paris Enchantment

@Sandeep Hoth ，Yes, I feel the same. I found out that China is really a different country.

@Sandeep Hoth ，是的，我感同身受，我發現中國真的是一個不一樣的國家。

I"m from France. There are many monasteries breweries in my hometown. - Yes, you read right, there are some breweries in France run by monks.But in China, monks are condemned for doing business.

我來自法國，在我的家鄉有很多修道院釀酒廠-是的，你讀得對。法國有一些由僧侶經營的釀酒廠，但是在中國，僧侶進行商業活動都會遭到譴責。

5、Love sauce

I come from Japan.Japanese people like to recycle everything - like my mother, she tears up the wrapping paper of yogurt bottles, throws the wrapping paper into the trash can of recycled paper products, and throws the bottles into the trash can of recycled plastic.

我來自日本，日本人喜歡回收任何東西——像我媽媽一樣，她撕掉酸奶瓶的包裝紙，把包裝紙扔進回收紙製品的垃圾桶，把瓶子扔進回收塑料的垃圾桶。

But in China, they usually mix and discard garbage, but recently Shanghai began to learn from Japan and classify garbage.

但是在中國，他們通常將垃圾混雜拋棄，不過最近上海開始學習日本，進行垃圾分類

6、Siberian Watcher

I come from Russia. In my hometown, alcoholics gather near railway stations or downtown areas. During the day, they sleep on Park benches, full of alcohol!

我來自俄羅斯。在我的家鄉，酗酒者聚集在火車站或市中心附近。白天，他們睡在公園長椅上，滿身是酒氣！

But in China, there are very few people who drink during the day. They always prefer to drink in a fixed bar area or at night.

但在中國，白天喝酒的人很少。他們總是喜歡在固定的酒吧區或晚上喝酒。

7、Brave Heart

I"m an Austrian. To be honest, my first birthday in China was unpleasant: all my Chinese friends gave me birthday wishes in advance.

我是奧地利人。老實說，我在中國的第一個生日很不愉快：我所有的中國朋友都提前給了我生日祝福。

In Austria, Wishing anyone 「Happy birthday」 in advance is considered a bad sign - as if they will not be alive to celebrate a real one.

在奧地利，提前祝別人「生日快樂」被認為是不詳的話語——這就好像被祝福者活不到生日來臨的那一天一樣。

However, when I learned about Chinese customs, I was moved by the goodwill of my Chinese friends. This year, my birthday must be happy.

然而，當我了解到中國的風俗習慣時，我被我的中國朋友的善意所感動。今年，我的生日一定很快樂。

8、Manhattan Baby

In the United States,there are N number of compulsory insurances - health, employment, pension. Apart from that people go for other types of insurances as well like lawyer, liability, lost-keys,…

在美國，有N種強制保險——健康保險、就業保險、養老金。除此之外，人們還會購買其他類型的保險，如律師險、責任險、遺失鑰匙險等。

Americans buy insurance on their own initiative, but in China, insurance salesmen keep many people away.

美國人會去主動購買各種保險，但是在中國，保險推銷員讓很多人躲避

9、Heart Of Iron

In Korea, fruits and fresh vegetables are usually expensive. We are more accustomed to buying canned vegetables. But in China, canned foodare thrown into the corner of supermarkets. Their fish are kept in water tanks and vegetables have just been picked.

在韓國，水果和新鮮蔬菜通常很貴。我們更習慣買罐裝蔬菜。但在中國，罐裝食品被扔進了超市的角落。他們的魚被保存在水箱里，蔬菜剛剛被採摘。

10、King Koryo

@Heart Of Iron，I am also Korean, and the most impressive thing after coming to China is that their things are "big". In Korea, Coke is a small bottle, milk is a small bottle, rice is a small bag.

我也是韓國人，來中國後最令人印象深刻的是他們的東西是「大」。在韓國，可樂是一個小瓶子，牛奶是一個小瓶子，大米是一個小袋子。

11、Himalayan hunters

I"m from India, and I was shocked when I first experienced the highway in China. Their speed limit was 120 KM/h. In India, it was only a pitiful 80!

我來自印度，第一次體驗中國高速公路的時候我震驚了，他們的限速竟然是120KM/小時，而在印度，這個數字只有可憐的80！

12、Merkel supporters

It has to be said that the order in Germany is bad!

不得不說，德國的秩序是糟糕的！

Past years, there were many strikes here like train strike, Lufthansa strike, Kindergarten strike,…Sometimes altogether.

過去幾年，德國發生了很多罷工，比如火車罷工、航空公司罷工、幼兒園罷工，有時甚至是各種行業聯合罷工。

Though 4th largest economy in the world, people are struggling with their insufficient pension, insufficient medical staff in the state run hospitals, insufficient staff in schools,…

儘管是世界第四大經濟體，但人們仍在為養老金不足、公立醫院醫療人員不足、學校教育人員不足等問題而煩惱。

But in China, what I see is stability. Everyone is struggling for a better life. Everyone gets along well without complaining.

但在中國，我看到的是穩定。每個人都在為更好的生活而奮鬥。每個人都過的很好，沒有抱怨。
