你了解英国吗？（二）

       15. It's called a "take away" rather than having "take out."
       外带食品叫 take away 而非 take out。

      16. Q-tips are "cotton buds."
       棉签叫“棉花苞”。

       17. Parking lots are called “car parks,” and you will rarely find one that is free. Especially at hospitals!
       停车场叫 car parks，而且基本没有几个是免费的，尤其是医院的那些！

       18. Nurses don't wear scrubs, and you'll often see them in the traditional uniform.
       护士们是不穿外科手术服的，他们通常穿的都是传统服制服。

       19. British people don't say they have "errands to run," rather they have "things/ bits to do."
       英国人在需要外出做事的时候不说 have errands to run，他们说 have things/bits to do。

       20. The police don't carry guns; therefore, the general public do not carry guns (for the majority.)
       警察是不带枪的，所以大众也不带枪（至少绝大部分不带）。

       21. British people do not make small talk with strangers, and they would never strike up conversation with someone on public transportation.
       英国人不会去和陌生人寒暄，也绝不会再公共交通工具上谈话。

       22. Occasions and get-togethers can sometimes drag on and end awkwardly because no one likes to make excuses to leave.
       聚会什么的有时候可能进行得特别长，然后尴尬收场，因为没有人喜欢主动提出离开。

       23. Everyone talks about getting home extensions, and it’s the norm as most houses are very small in comparison to American-style homes.
       每个人都在谈房屋扩建，而且这是常态，因为英国的大部分房子跟美国比起来都很小。

       24. The British do not embrace the fall (aka Autumn) and completely by-pass the pumpkin spice craze like Americans. (Though thank you, Starbucks, for your Pumpkin Spice Lattes!)
       英国人既不喜欢也不庆祝秋天（对了，他们管秋天叫 autumn 而不是 fall），而且英国人跟美国人一样对万圣节期间的南瓜口味狂热季完全无感（不过还是要感谢星巴克推出南瓜拿铁！）

       25. There are only three main fast food restaurants, and those are McDonalds, Subway, Burger King, and the occasional KFC.
       在英国看见的快餐品牌基本只有三家：麦当劳、赛百味、汉堡王，只偶尔能看到肯德基。

       26. You will rarely see drive-thru banks, Starbucks, fast-food restaurants etc.
       银行、星巴克、快餐厅基本不会设有美国那种车道窗口。
