Does "That's interesting" mean it's boring? (What English people REALLY mean when they talk)

太好了終於有些理解，真正的英國人來解釋，不然一直以來覺得英國人很愛說反話。

原来有些人不懂英语语境还在网上误导。也许写这篇文章的人自己很自卑也不一定，总以为别人在说他/她的坏话呢？真的很有趣，因为第一次听别人这么解释英语最后被人纠正。

[@hsuanlee1493]

在來英國唸書前，我也看到相關介紹的文章，但來唸書後，完全不會想到文章裡描述的那樣，就像舒萱說的，大部分可以用語氣跟前後文判斷，我個人覺得說反話隱藏真正想法這樣的狀況，就不僅是英國人，也可能是各國人各種人，刻板印象不小心讓英國人揹鍋了😂

Love your content! I live in the US and I can totally relate to what you're saying, since people here are saying a lot of things similarly. To me it's all about the context. Chinese language can be like that as well. Words can carry different meanings in varying occasions. One thing about English or Irish people though: what they are saying can be brutal and brutally funny at the same time!

[@cellchow2339]

Agree with you. When the time you are trying to understand someone else, you need to also pay attention to their tone when the time they are saying it. It is common to ALL languages and countries, not only limited to UK. I think the problem for new English users is that when the time they are communicate with English users, they are too nervous and only focus on the words but missed the tone.

Another example you raised regarding “accepting responsibility by saying it’s my fault” reflects one of many cultural differences between Chinese and English language. 說反話對大部份人來說是一種無法抗拒的智慧和能力。正所謂「聲東擊西」或「指桑罵槐」甚至「說出來不代表心裡想的」已經深深融入中文的博大精深之中。

[@c1786482500]

People should throw away those stereotypes and let themselves live in the moment and sincerely interact with others, so that you can get the real connection and build a healthy and normal conversation. Language isn't like maths, every one can interpret a sentence in lots of different ways. It's always better just to get involved and figure out what they mean by yourself.

我沒有看過那文章，但個人覺得好些人喜歡突顯自己懂得英國人特別喜歡說英國人說話表裏不一。自己留學經驗覺得一般英國人都不是這樣，或者職場裡競爭大會吧，但一般都很容易相處。中文有個講法是『講者無心聽者有意』，我覺得亞洲人才是拐彎抹角。

[@0626Lydia]

嗨 Susie！ 你會不會覺得心累去解釋這些字句？哈哈 我個人同意就像你說的要看語氣，還有對方的表情 所以不能單憑一句話就定義對方喜不喜歡， 不過有時候我覺得在台灣，也會有人不好意思拒絕說是說真實想法 就說了：喔還不錯啊 就這句對方也無法判定是在敷衍還是真的覺得不錯 或者在台灣，有時候要拒絕他人的邀約，與其說：不要我不想去 有些人會選擇說：可是我那天要OOO所以不能去 所以，我同意這真的很難用一句話去斷定啦 感謝你的分享，有機會的話可不可以分享英式幽默相關的主題 I’ve always been interested in this topic.

Can I ask you a question, 舒萱？ I just heard my friend said yesterday that, his son told him when he said "I'm ok" to the receptionist if his dentist when she asked if he could accept Tuesday when he asked Monday first, she cut off his line, means that the receptionist took it that he didn't want the appointment. I personally think "I'm ok" can means different things in different scenarios, but my friend said his son who is an English teen-ager, it only means *I don't need it". Can you explain more please?

[@iamkuen2001]

單從語言去猜想一個人的真正意思我覺得不夠全面，十個英國人，可能也有十種不同用語言的方式，要看說的是誰，聽的是誰，和真正的內容，才能盡可能推斷那個人真正意思。 同類型的影片好像京都人也有，我覺得也是一樣，就算爽直的美國人和大阪人也可能腹黑，英國人和京都人都可能直腸直肚。 不過舒萱的影片也是總結了一個大概和可能性，我覺得好精彩。

[@bubb1egunZ]

I like your accent and your video but there's one thing I want to say. It's just my own opinion, no offense, I don't know if any others are thinking in the same way. That is the subtitle. it's a kind of distraction. You have two subtitles simultaneously, and as a language learner, I want to see the English part. The Chinese part, it's only be needed when I don't understand the meaning. Farther more, adding the subtitle is also distracting to the listening as well. I have seen other KZbinrs separated the subtitle and video. The subtitle will only be shown when you press the button on the right-side down corner. Once again, It is just my personal opinion, no offense. Maybe you have a different concern. Thank you for reading and great video!

[@l_2107]

在澳大利亚生活多年 刚来的时候也总会看不少英语中文双语的解惑视频，但是可能因为他们对中文还有中国思维方式没有你理解的到位 总觉得欠一些东西。相比之下你的视频总是能准确的指出中文思考模式和英文的差异， 而且给出很好的解释。

[@haizhens-hut]

真是很好的解释！其实和英国人说话时还是不明白对方真实的意思。有没有可能英国人都比较随和，其实不用太在意他们怎么想？当他们说 that's interesting, 只是表明他在听你说。It's not bad 只是说他觉得可以，无所谓。It's my fault 就是说让它过去吧，怨就怨我吧。If you don't mind 就是说随便吧。

I agree with you 100%. So, I hopefully feedback something positive to you. This kind of irony happens to Chinese. e.g. Someone asks Peter's feeling about Helen. If Peter replies that she is a kind girl. Many Chinese speakers think this reply implies Helen is ugly, or financially poor. That's not true cause , to me, I mean Helen has truly kind personal traits. That's it.🙌🙌🙌
