刚刚看The Age的社评,http://www.theage.com.au/opinion ... -20090920-fwoc.html,题目是“Is street violence etched into the national character?” 突然发现里面有一段对于澳洲社会的quote感觉非常精辟,摘抄到这里:
"Rough, rather than tough, kindly but not tolerant, a generous, sardonic, sceptical but surprisingly gullible character, quick to take offence and by no means unwilling to give it. Always ready for a fight, but just as ready to help …Its worst faults are aggressiveness, which leads easily to violence in word and deed, and a dreadful complacency; its greatest virtues courage and a certain downright honesty, which at least says what it thinks."
-- John Douglas Pringle, a Scotsman, was twice editor of theSydney Morning Herald. |
