台灣與英國的文化差異 The CULTURAL Differences Between TAIWAN & The UK

[@misha4086]

這集好棒! 喜歡文化差異影片,了解英式幽默與文化,讓學習英語變得有意義

[@chien4741]

可是我們有自己的護照耶！四川，上海....等地會有自己的護照嗎？我在英國都說台灣是台灣，中國是中國，我們不一樣的。

恭喜破100K訂閱，超喜歡你的口音，雖然我也分不清英國有幾種口音，不過你自稱的利物浦口音倒是很舒服，而且不會太快很適合練習英聽，還有我覺得看你搬桌子好累喔…真的不需要這麼累啦！

[@tingtingsworld]

Congrats on 100K!!! Australian and British culture are so similar, I completely agree with all of these! I'm still struggling with the sense of humour...

[@lifeintaiwan]

Thanks so much!! And yes... to be fair the Aussies are pretty good with getting my jokes!

[@JT-cm9di]

Although I'm not a Taiwanese and never lived in Taiwan, but I think the differences when come to sense of humour is you cant make a joke on some serious conversation/discussion in work or in a meeting, they might take it for real.

[@mattshialdean9356]

Congratulation, Allan. You has reached your goal! I am so proud of you. For this case, I decide to put a sticker on my scooter to celebrate it! I love this kind of video, discussing the difference between two cultures. That is always fun! And it can help me avoid any annoying action to other foreigner! Thanks bro. 最後再次恭喜你十萬訂閱！

[@HoshiSakuna]

拜託不要改變你的英國腔~我就是為了聽它而來XD!!! 之前去英國注意到很不一樣的地方是：英國人經常說sorry，幾乎像是口頭禪或語助詞那樣頻繁!!! 還有我不管在哪裡拿起相機，旁邊的路人都會停下腳步等我拍完照再走過去，都讓我有點不好意思了。 這兩點讓我感覺英國真的是個很紳士的國家^^

[@chien4741]

謝謝分享，好棒的影片。我現在人在英國，滿需要的，雖然我住了四年。正如你說你希望能像台灣人在台灣生活，我也是。在羅馬就做羅門的事，入境隨俗很重要。

Allan....how did you carry your bubble tea to every scene ? 😂😂

[@ukgaryowen]

Allan保持你英國口音不要改我很喜歡英國腔，上個月在倫敦旅行的時候我覺得英國超有禮貌的，不管是你撞到他或是他撞到我都會先說Sorry！❤️💕

[@chien4741]

當你待久了，就會知道英國人禮貌但不友善。我住四年了，最近的體會，悟出了這一句話。

[@icebaby6714]

英國人表面上禮貌，實際上並不友好。他不是來自南非嗎？為什麼他現在說他是英國人？不敢承認他的南非國籍？

Cool video Allan. I observed that Taiwan obviously don’t have the pub culture we have in Ireland and The Uk but do tend to drink quiet a lot having meals with friends and family. Those big bottles of Taiwan Beer always go down well with an array of different food. 😁😁😁

True!!

[@guestguest-cw6pe]

我覺捷運收費是很有感的不同（當然英國各方面物價都高），用倫敦當地捷運卡一趟100台幣（2.4英鎊）起跳，若用現金則是200台幣（4.9英鎊）起跳，會限制人移動的自由，知道英國的人均所得本來就高，出門來回每天至少200台幣（或400）。Metro fare is very different between UK and Taiwan, London metro fare star from 2.4 one way by Oyster card, 4.9 by cash.Taipei is star from £0.38（by cash is £0.48) . And I think the high fare limited the freedom of people moving. Surely I know UK GDP is high,too. 。I like your this kind of topic episodes, thanks for sharing.

I've been living in Taiwan for 2 years now and still struggling with Taiwanese people not understanding my humour #thestruggleisreal Btw I think you should do an entire video of just you walking around Taichung with a scouse accent.

[@湯寓安]

幽默感很多時候是聽的人要能理解當時說話的人的言外之意或是誇飾的意圖，這對語言跟文化認知層度不同的兩個人來說並不容易，我想起自己正在學英文時，為了要聽懂對方所說的英文就很吃力了，更不用說要想到對方所說的話並不是他真正的意思，要等到跟對方熟悉且自己的英文進步了，才能更容易的補捉到對方要傳遞的幽默，這個我有很深的體會。

[@chichi8487]

This opening shows the culture difference with the beer advertisement from west. You do video with aĺl your heart. No wonder that your subscribers grow stronger. I think if your joke about changing your accent is with friend, it could be totally acceptable. But to boss or supervisor, i believe nobody dare to do that in Taiwan when just got the job. lol. I got used to American style humour when I was young, felt English joke is very dry when I first knew it. But when I am getting older, I can appreciate it now. Just like I love BBC life style channel more than TLC now. Congratulations for reaching this great mile stone, keep on doing what you love to do. Cheers~

談文化差異好有趣，能有更多瞭解。 另外想知道艾倫常常在路邊拍攝，會不會曬傷阿 😅替你的皮膚擔心~

[@brian31207]

I am studying in the UK and what I found and experienced the cultural difference between Taiwan and the UK is the way British speak! People in the UK are just fantastic because even they don't agree with my opinion or idea, they just say it in a very respectful way to say NO! They are really willing to accept the different opinion and respect individual! And the British would hold the door for you !! This is the culture that I really appreciate!! However, as I am in university, some undergraduate students just do not respect other students ( it's tricky, although I said the British are very gentle...). But I firmly believe that education could make it better!! By the way, the education system in the UK is relatively better than Taiwan!

[@user-vr2ms1tp8j]

有個小問題困惑著我 ................. 艾倫，你那杯珍珠奶茶在換場景時，是把它倒回去？還是慢慢開車讓它不翻出來？🤣 它看起來完全沒動說 ....

Absolutely true differences!! I am a Taiwanese currently staying in England as a student. When I told my friends that I didn't drink alcohol since my parents thought that drinking was not good for girls, my friends seemed surprised and felt sad for me. I also had an experience being winked by my supervisor in a meeting and I didn't know the meaning until I watched your video today!!

I have not been quite able to master the western sarcastic styles of humor, even after I have lived in the US for 30+ years. I know it’s all based upon the closeness of friendship. I guess the Taiwanese culture doesn’t condone “諷刺” that well. The line between sarcasm and defamation “毀謗” in the two cultures tend to be different. The “degree” of sarcasm (how far you go with being sarcastic before being viewed as defamation) is difficult to handle in Taiwanese culture. I guess the closer the friendship the more tolerance in joking that you can go. Congratulations to reach 100K! Well, I thought there was this challenge of either stinky tofu thing or climbing the Mount Jade thing coming up....hahaha.... Keep up the good work!

British people usually quite polite in general. However I still experienced one or two idiot annoyed me. Like 2 days ago a white British woman in her middle age cutting my queue intentionally and pretending she doesn't know. She ignored me after I told her I am in the queue. I thought at least she will say sorry and move to behind me but she didn't. Can you believe a British white woman in her decent clothes will bullying a foreigner in the supermarket?

[@alan12123]

Heard of the two fingers story before, it surprised me that could mean so different in the UK. I went to visit my friends in London 6 years ago, and we went to few bars near Leicester Square/ Soho Square. I saw some guys peeing at the corner of the streets, quite interesting to me. But compare this with NYC, well, London is cleaner. Hahaha... And it's very common that you will be called LOVE or Dear in the UK, I think it's like the UK version of 歡迎光臨 you hear at 7-11 in Taiwan. Although I know that's just a greeting, but still make me feel so Great! Cover mouth and laugh? Reminds me the two Japanese girls in " Come Fly With Me" 🤣

衝出封鎖線在戲院放映時，當歐文威爾森在航母上對掉落海面的橄欖球高喊威爾森時，我是全場唯一個發笑的，而當時距湯姆漢克的浩劫重生下檔亦沒有多久。衡量大部分臺灣人的幽默感應該是零吧，當然不是指志村健那類的方式，臺灣人對志村健那種搞笑有共鳴，但那種搞笑方式要稱其為幽默顯然太沈重。臺灣電視頻道百多台，類似脫口秀或今夜秀的有幾台呢？

For the sarcasm part, we do have sarcasm as a form joke in our daily life but we use it in a way that is quite hard for foreigners to understand since it pretty much requires full mastery of the language itself. When I went to high school in New Zealand, I struggled with the same problem of not getting sarcasm and ended up hating their sense of humor, but after a few years I was able to grasp the subtle licks and learnt how to sort of "read between the lines" in English if that makes sense.

[@aaaac4260]

The drinking cultures are quite different after hearing you say. No wonder Taiwanese get the impression that westerners have parties often at home, or get drunk and loud outside often. Hope they respect Taiwan’s different culture and keep quiet late at night, which will be appropriated a lot.

[@heyjojo1998]

about humor sense.... when you talking about the joke of British accent, I put a question mark on my face. because I don't really know what it mean.

[@aaaac4260]

Kids in Taiwan tend to learn American English much more than British English in ratio. That’s why Allen is required to “change” his accent. But that’s not a good idea. Kids of higher levels should be acquainted with various “accents” because that’s how the real world is! But the spellings and the expressions can stay in one language because it’s too difficult for the kids to learn both and not get confused.

I'm living in Cambridge for 2 years. One of the cultural differences is... the accent is not too important in the UK (my opinion) There are many accents from different areas(or countries). It's nature and needs to be respected. The most of Taiwanese advocate standard accent(??? American or British???)

[@lifeintaiwan]

I’ve tried for years to tell Taiwanese people this!!! Spanish people speak English with a Spanish accent, Italians, Germans all the same.... I don’t know why Taiwanese insist on trying to have an American accent!
