QA問答：法國人喜歡英國人什么？美英法三角關(guān)系：“我們可以欺負法國，但不能讓別的國家像我們一樣欺負法國。是的，我們愛恨交織?！?/h1> What do the French people like about the British?

SemynonA
I think that what we admire the most in British people is how polite and well behaved they are compared to us.
Taking the bus or the underground is an horrific experience in France, people push people, everyone tries to hold its place, it’s massive, moving, disorganised.
While British people form a line, a well behaved crowd.
Even if we are proud of our revolution we do enjoy the British royalty, it’s a never ending source of entertainment for us. We also love to be scandalised by how much the monarchy cost, while the sum of our living presidents rents costs us more than the Queen does.
We love that they hate us but enjoy so much our country! Holidays, food and wine, you can’t lie. Yup France ain’t so bad.
I think that more than anything they are our perfect rivals, we both have tried to outbest the other for more than a thousand years. In some way i think we feel really bound to them, more than any other country, and at the same time because of this deeply rooted competition we can’t seem to embrace the idea that we love each other.
Yup we love to hate each other. But we can’t seem to stop this love/hate relationship, can we?
Personally, i love how British people allow intimacy, personal space, and how politely they will disagree with you. I also love that they don’t feel like they need to speak loudly, to put on a show, and that they behave.

我認為，我們最欽佩英國人的是，與我們相比，他們是多么有禮貌和舉止得體。
在法國，乘坐公共汽車或地鐵是一種可怕的經(jīng)歷，人推搡人，每個人都試圖保持自己的位置，這是一種巨大的、移動的、無序的體驗。
當英國人排成一行時，一群舉止得體的人。
即使我們?yōu)樽约旱母锩械津湴?，但我們確實喜歡英國皇室的待遇，這對我們來說是一個永無止境的娛樂來源。我們也喜歡被君主制的成本所震驚，而我們在世的總統(tǒng)的工資總額比女王還貴。
我們愛他們恨我們，但喜歡我們的國家！假期，食物，葡萄酒，在這些方面你無法撒謊。是的，法國沒有那么糟糕。
我認為，最重要的是，他們是我們完美的對手，一千多年來，我們都試圖超越對方。在某種程度上，我認為我們比任何其他國家都更能感受到與他們的聯(lián)系，同時，由于這種根深蒂固的競爭，我們似乎無法接受我們相愛的想法。
是的，我們愛恨交織。但我們似乎無法阻止這種愛恨交織的關(guān)系，是嗎？
就我個人而言，我喜歡英國人如何允許親密關(guān)系、個人空間，以及他們?nèi)绾味Y貌地不同意你的意見。我也喜歡他們不需要大聲說話，不需要表演，還有他們的行為。

A company which I worked at had some French students on an internship for a few months. One of them said that what she liked about British people is how we can laugh at ourselves. As I said to her, we do have a lot to laugh at. That statement proved her point!

我工作過的一家公司有一些法國學(xué)生實習(xí)了幾個月。其中一位說，她喜歡英國人的地方在于我們?nèi)绾巫猿?。正如我對她說的，我們確實有很多值得嘲笑的地方。那句話證明了她的觀點！

Martin Richards
That there is the English Channel between us.
The 20th century was odd in that Britain and Germany have always had more in common with each other; especially going to war against the Fench !
Mind you though in WWII the Royal Navy did sink the French Fleet and the RAF regularly bombed France on the off chance that they may hit some Germans.
No wonder De Gaulle got so upsetnwith the British

我們之間有英吉利海峽。
20世紀的奇怪之處在于，英國和德國之間總是有更多的共同點；尤其是在對抗法國方面！
請注意，在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中，英國皇家海軍確實擊沉了法國艦隊，英國皇家空軍經(jīng)常轟炸法國，因為他們可能會擊中一些德國人。
難怪戴高樂對英國人如此不滿。

The French call the English Rosbifs because they say Roast Beef is the only thing we can cook. Ironically it was the French who introduced the practice of spit roasting meat to Britain which absolutely revolutionised English cooking in the Middle Ages.
The Scots and French have The Auld Alliance which basically amounts to a mutual dislike of the English going right back to the Middle Ages.

法國人稱英國人為 Rosbifs，因為他們說烤牛肉是我們唯一能做的東西。具有諷刺意味的是，正是法國人將烤肉的做法引入了英國，這徹底改變了中世紀的英國烹飪。
蘇格蘭人和法國人有奧爾德聯(lián)盟，這基本上相當于他們對中世紀英國人的共同厭惡。

Practically nothing. Sad but true.,in history we have had wars after wars, killing each other since the 11 century. Now we just dont slike them. They are snotty, cold and unfriendly. Snobs. Hypocrites. They think that French people are inferior . Not true. It makes them feel,better.

實際上并不欣賞。悲傷但真實。在歷史上，我們經(jīng)歷了一場又一場戰(zhàn)爭，自11世紀以來，我們相互殘殺。現(xiàn)在我們只是不喜歡他們而已。
他們流鼻涕，冷漠，不友好，打鼾，是偽君子。他們認為法國人低人一等。這不是真的。但這讓他們感覺很好。

Kevin Thorpe
Yeah, we take the piss out of the French all the time. But they're our odd cousins. We won't let anyone else do that to them.

是的，我們總是惹法國人生氣。但他們是我們奇怪的表親。我們不會讓其他人像我們那樣對待他們。

As an American who has traveled extensively in France and am very aware of France’s contribution to the US war for independence, I am constantly finding myself defending France against idiotic statements by Americans, most of whom hold no passport and have never been out of the country except to Canada or Mexico.
I am glad to hear of the similar defense of France by Brits who a moment ago were taking the piss out of the French!

作為一名在法國廣泛旅行過的美國人，我非常清楚法國對美國獨立戰(zhàn)爭的貢獻，我不斷發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在為法國辯護，反對美國人的愚蠢言論，他們中的大多數(shù)人沒有護照，除了去過加拿大或墨西哥，大多數(shù)從未出過國。
我很高興聽到英國人對法國的類似辯護，他們剛才還對法國人大發(fā)雷霆！

As an older American who has spent much of his life visiting France, learning French, and living in France, I am aware of some Yanks’ tendency to talk trash about France, but I can honestly say that I don’t hear much negative about France here in California. A lot of us appreciate the mode de vie, the language, the food, the fierce defense of the rights of the people, and that they were our closest ally in our struggle for independence from the Crown. We remember. And thousands of our youth are buried there in recognition of this connection.

作為一個年長的美國人，我一生中大部分時間都在訪問法國、學(xué)習(xí)法語和生活，我意識到一些美國佬傾向于說法國的壞話，但我可以誠實地說，我在加利福尼亞州沒有聽到太多關(guān)于法國的負面消息。我們中的許多人都欣賞法國的生活方式、語言、食物和對人民權(quán)利的激烈捍衛(wèi)，他們是我們爭取脫離王室獨立斗爭中最親密的盟友。我們記得。成千上萬的年輕人被埋葬在那里，以承認這種聯(lián)系。

George O'Shea
I love this comment so much. I love the French and our 1000 year rivalry.
I love how when we put our minds together we achieve astonishing things (the Channel Tunnel, Concorde etc.).
I love how Paris is a second home to Londoners and London is a second home to Parisians.
Yes we are rivals, but we are also allies and always will be.

我非常喜歡這個評論。我喜歡法國人和我們1000年的對抗。
我喜歡當我們集思廣益時，我們?nèi)〉昧梭@人的成就（英吉利海峽隧道、協(xié)和式飛機等）。
我喜歡巴黎是倫敦人的第二故鄉(xiāng)，倫敦是巴黎人的第二故鄉(xiāng)的說法。
是的，我們是對手，但我們也是盟友，而且永遠都是。

James Kirk
Wonderful answer. I agree that the British and the French are rival brothers in many ways, who love to hate each other. Interestingly when the Americans get on their usual, “The French are so rude” tirade I have met many British people, who only five minutes earlier, were making fun of the French, who will defend the French. I think most reasonable people in the UK respect France but will make fun of it, with a degree of affection, whereas the Americans often seen to have negative personal feelings without any humour about the French. I have no idea why, as they never would have won their treasured independence without the French.

很好的答案。我同意英國人和法國人在很多方面都是敵對的兄弟，他們愛恨交織。有趣的是，當美國人開始他們通常的“法國人太粗魯了”的長篇大論時，我遇到了許多英國人，他們在五分鐘前還在取笑法國人，他們將立馬開始捍衛(wèi)法國人。我認為英國大多數(shù)理智的人都尊重法國，但會帶著一定程度的感情取笑它，而美國人經(jīng)常被認為對法國人有負面的個人感情，沒有任何幽默感。我不知道為什么，因為如果沒有法國人，他們永遠不會贏得寶貴的獨立。

Damn right too, Only we are allowed to slag off each other, we’ve both earned that right.

他媽的太對了，只有我們可以互相欺負，這是我們自己爭取來的權(quán)利。

SemynonA
For USA to get its independence it took France's bankruptcy, the end of monarchy and the fall of its empire.
Yet most Americans I have met will insist that France played little to no play in the favorable issue of Independence war as the French army was sent at the end of the conflict. France provided about everything for this war, France provided intelligentsia, weapons, global conflict on England to weaken England and make this win possible.
Of course France was serving its own interest by limiting England expansion and power. It is highly likely that if France didn't freed this future ally from England and that England kept this colony then England would have ended having the needed power to finally succeed in conquering France. This war and its issue secured a balance in the world's powers.
USA poorly repaid his ally when time came by refusing to enter the conflict in 1940. And it is not the most problematic part. When they did and succeeded with the allied forces in liberating France they tried to govern France. It took a lot to get US army out of France.
Most Americans seem very unaware of those facts. It is hard not to see some intention to weaken France's influence on the geopolitical scene .
You will often see this question from Americans : did the French ever win a war? Nah the biggest empire of its time (before England out best them) did it without winning any war…
There was indisputable intentions to reduce France to a seducing way of life.
This view of France and the French people would be inconceivable from English people who share common history with us.

為了讓美國獲得獨立，法國破產(chǎn)了，君主制結(jié)束了，帝國滅亡了。
然而，我見過的大多數(shù)美國人都會堅持認為，法國在獨立戰(zhàn)爭方面沒有發(fā)揮任何有利因素，因為法國軍隊是在沖突結(jié)束后才被派遣來的。法國為這場戰(zhàn)爭提供了一切，法國為英國提供了知識分子的反對、武器方面的反對和全球沖突，以削弱英國，使這場勝利成為可能。
當然，法國通過限制英國的擴張和權(quán)力來為自己的利益服務(wù)。很有可能，如果法國沒有將這個未來的盟友從英國手中解放出來，而讓英國保留了這個殖民地，那么英國就不會失去最終成功征服法國所需的力量。這場戰(zhàn)爭確保了世界力量的平衡。
1940年，當時機成熟時，美國拒絕加入沖突，對他的盟友回報甚微。這并不是最有問題的部分。最有問題的部分在于，他們和盟軍解放法國的時候，居然試圖統(tǒng)治法國。為了讓美軍離開法國，我們付出了很大的努力。
大多數(shù)美國人似乎對這些事實一無所知。我們無法對那些試圖削弱法國在地緣政治舞臺上影響力的意圖視而不見。
你經(jīng)常會從美國人那里看到這個問題：法國人贏得過戰(zhàn)爭嗎？沒有，當時最大的帝國（在英格蘭擊敗他們之前）沒有贏得過任何戰(zhàn)爭……
毫無疑問，人們有意將法國簡化為一種迷惑性質(zhì)的生活方式。
對于與我們有著共同歷史的英國人來說，這種對法國和法國人民的看法是不可想象的。

Mark Jones
You have to remember that Britain did conquer France, twice in quick succession. But it was never about occupying the land or overthrowing the nation or people, it was about the removal of Napoleon. Many in Britain identified with the French people and respected the nation, but disagreed with their leadership, it was the leadership which had to be removed and France had to be relegated to a second tier power to secure The Empire’s future, the revolution was a frightening prospect to the power base in the UK. Britain did not want to see a weak France, simply a controlled one.
Britons were scared of France when she was under militaristic leadership, France was a formidable foe and still is today if anyone is foolish enough to take up arms against them. While some modern day Britons make the occasional rude comment about French cowardice, the majority understand the reality and the value of having France as an ally. When the chips are down ,fighting alongside France is a no brainer and the Americans might do well to remember that you don’t win every battle and war, there is no shame in losing occasionally, its what you do afterwards that counts.

你必須記住，英國確實接連兩次征服了法國。但這從來不是為了占領(lǐng)土地或推翻國家或人民，而是為了驅(qū)逐拿破侖。英國的許多人認同法國人民，尊重這個國家，但不同意他們的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層必須被罷免，法國必須被降級到第二梯隊，以確保帝國的未來，這場革命對英國的權(quán)力基礎(chǔ)來說是一個可怕的前景。英國不想看到一個虛弱的法國，只是想要一個受控的法國。
當法國處于軍國主義領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下時，英國人害怕她。如果有人愚蠢到拿起武器反對法國，法國是一個可怕的敵人，今天仍然如此。
雖然一些現(xiàn)代英國人偶爾會對法國人的懦弱發(fā)表無禮的評論，但大多數(shù)英國人理解法國作為盟友的現(xiàn)實和價值。當關(guān)鍵時刻到來時，對英國人來說，與法國并肩作戰(zhàn)是一件輕而易舉的事，美國人最好記住，你不會贏得每一場戰(zhàn)斗和戰(zhàn)爭，偶爾失敗并不可恥，重要的是你之后的所作所為。
