Before my year abroad, everyone advised me to say “yes” to everything. They weren’t 1 . However, here in Germany, “I don’t mind” doesn’t seem to be an acceptable 2 . Neither does “I’ll do whatever you want to do” nor “Really, either way is fine by me”. It really is 3 yes or no.
Despite having a huge smile on your face, most Germans will look at you 4 you’re unable to make a 5 , which of course isn’t true; we’re just being really typically British. My first encounter (遭遇) of this was when I 6 the hotel for my first two nights in Germany. The 7 asked when I would like my breakfast in the morning. Being typically British, I replied saying whenever was 8 for her. She gave me a(n) 9 look and asked again.
“No, when do you want to have 10 ? Er, OK ... err .... 8 am?” she smiled and I 11 quickly, “Only if that is 12 for you though.”
I knew about the British stereotype (模式化的形象) of 13 before I came abroad. However, I didn’t 14 how much truth there was to it until I arrived here and began experiencing it on a day-to-day basis. 15 give you funny looks in restaurants if you say thank you repeatedly when they 16 all kinds of services. But that’s only right for the British. For everyone else, being so polite is totally 17.
And when it comes to me 18 questions, it’s even worse. “Would you be able to do that for me if it’s not too much trouble, please?” just doesn’t work here. You have to be 19 and say what you want. The first time I said “Pass that here”, my heart was 20 and I could almost hear my mum screaming in my head about manners.
