请教一下大家

看two and a half men的时候听到一句话，Charlie讽刺Alan胆小怕事但又很罗嗦是说
Oh, I didn't know you are so French.

这个是啥成语典故？

估计和二战德国占领法国有关

有人插队，Alan不平道： Oh, oh, excuse me,excuse me. There's a line.

插队的壮汉：Yeah, I just got a couple things.

Alan开始罗嗦: Well, I can see that, but it's not really based on quantity of items. It's more of a we-were-here-before-you kind of deal.

壮汉开始威胁：you gonna make a thing out of this?

继续威胁......

Alan让步：You know what?If you're in such a big hurry, why don't you just go ahead?
......

Alan给charlie解释：no, no, not chicken, just good common sense.Fighting accomplishes nothing.
Charlie讽刺Alan：Oh, I didn't know you were so french.

Yes. It has to do with 2nd WW. When the Germans occupied France. There were only a small portion of people that were passionate about opposing the Germans. They were called the the French Résistance. Most French were very accommodating. Many even relationships with the German soldiers.

Also, the French as a whole have a laid back culture. Their shops usually only open for 3 hours at a time during the day. Working overtime and above their scope is unheard of. Basically, they can't be bothered much.

有点明白了，就是说“棒子”反义词

对，法国人都特别回避这段历史，总被英美当成话柄。

二战时在德国的闪电战下，法国仅仅抵抗了四个小时就投降了。要不是后来有了戴高乐这样的人物，法国是绝不会成为联合国常任理事国的

当时最讽刺的是戴高乐早期一力主张发展坦克集团军的， 没被法国高层采纳， 结果反而是看了这本书的德军军方高层深受启发， 全力发展坦克集团军， 结果法国和全世界都杯具了。
最可气的是现在法国人贫什么看不起说其它语种的人， 没本事拽什么拽。
