【美國留學網(https://abroad.hopetrip.com.hk/usa/) - 美國留學日誌&履歷】美國留學 留學美國大概讓你抓狂的十二件事

  1. Conceiving the unnecessary dichotomy of soccer/football.

  (足球不叫足球,橄欖球才他媽叫足球)

  Because why wouldn’t you call the sport that solely involves feet FOOTball????

  handegg : American football. As opposed to football/soccer, where players actually kick a ball with their feet, american football involves players carrying an egg-shaped object in their hands.

  2. And the general underappreciation of soccer/football.

  (絕不理解觀賞真實的足球)

  Even though the U.S. qualifies in the FIFA World Cup almost every year.

  3. Mandating their own unique measuring system that literally no one else in the world uses.

  (應用全球只有他們本身應用的器量單元——英制)

  *OKOKOK two other countries (Burma and Liberia) also use the special metrication, but still, it makes conversion extremely annoying for the billions of people who were born and raised elsewhere.

  4. Which makes everyday things like checking the weather that much more inconvenient.

  (以是在美國檢察各類溫度都異常吃力......)

  To translate fahrenheit (used nowhere else) to celsius (used everywhere else), you multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32… or something.

  5. Creating its own lexicon and insisting the rest of the world is spelling their words wrong.

  (為英文單詞創造了新的拼寫,然後說全球其別人都拼錯了......)

  No, red squigglies, YOU’RE WRONG.

  6. Disguising watered down coffee by giving it a fancy name.

  (給咖啡摻水,還起了一個異常好聽的名字——美式咖啡,Americano)

  As if the name wasn’t telling enough: "AMERICA-NO" amirightamiright?

  7. Over sweetening things that don’t need any sweetening at all.

  (吃甚麽都往死加糖)

  8. Setting the legal drinking age at 21 years old…

  (21歲才他媽可以開端正當的飲酒......)

  9. …when 18-year-olds are lawfully allowed to buy handguns.

  (與此同時,18歲就能夠買槍了......)

  10. The cost of college tuition and constantly inflating the cost of college tuition.

  (奇葩的大學膏火訂價——公立、私立,州內、州外膏火差距偉大)

  "The cost of tuition and fees varies by college," says The College Board. AKA it could cost a hell of a lot more than this chart projects.

  11. Overindulging and spoiling their pets like little humans.

  (過火溺愛他們的寵物,像看待人類同樣)

  12. Then treating their actual little humans like pets.

  (然後像看待狗同樣看待本身的孩子......)

  And the ongoing discourse around whether or not you should put your small human on a leash.
