#34;名分#34;之争:欧洲各国自夸民族品质,英法针锋相对
所有欧洲人都认为自己的民族是最富有同情心的，而几乎每一个欧洲人都评价德国人最冷漠。尽管在法国人和德国人眼中，“最冷漠”这个称号应该颁给英国。<span word="But">But</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="few">few</span> <span word="eyebrows">eyebrows</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="raised">raised</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="authoritative">authoritative</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="survey">survey</span>’<span word="s">s</span> <span word="findings">findings</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="French">French</span> <span word="agree">agree</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="continent">continent</span>’<span word="s">s</span> <span word="most">most</span> <span word="arrogant">arrogant</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Greeks">Greeks</span> <span word="rate">rate</span> <span word="themselves">themselves</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="most">most</span> <span word="trustworthy">trustworthy</span>.但最近一项权威调查的结果可能会让少数一些人大跌眼镜——法国人承认他们是欧洲大陆上最傲慢的民族，而希腊人评价自己为“最值得信赖”。<span word="The">The</span> <span word="Washington">Washington</span> <span word="DC">DC</span>-<span word="based">based</span> <span word="Pew">Pew</span> <span word="Research">Research</span> <span word="Centre">Centre</span> <span word="polled">polled</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="than">than</span> 7,600 <span word="people">people</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="eight">eight</span> <span word="European">European</span> <span word="countries">countries</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="attitudes">attitudes</span> <span word="towards">towards</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="EU">EU</span>, <span word="their">their</span> <span word="governments">governments</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="neighbours">neighbours</span>.位于华盛顿特区的皮尤研究中心（<span word="Pew">Pew</span> <span word="Research">Research</span> <span word="Centre">Centre</span>）对八个欧洲国家、超过7,600位民众进行民意检测，就欧盟、本国政府及邻国问题询问了他们的态度。<span word="The">The</span> <span word="findings">findings</span> <span word="throw">throw</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="intriguing">intriguing</span> <span word="insights">insights</span> <span word="into">into</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="national">national</span> <span word="stereotypes">stereotypes</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="wake">wake</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Eurozone">Eurozone</span> <span word="crisis">crisis</span>, <span word="which">which</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="seen">seen</span> <span word="Germany">Germany</span> <span word="take">take</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="leading">leading</span> <span word="role">role</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="imposing">imposing</span> <span word="unpopular">unpopular</span> <span word="austerity">austerity</span> <span word="measures">measures</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="struggling">struggling</span> <span word="economies">economies</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="southern">southern</span> <span word="Europe">Europe</span>.调查结果为研究新的国家印象提供了有趣的视角，这种新的印象是在欧元流通区产生危机后新出现的。在这场危机的中，面对南欧窘迫的经济状况，德国人一直带头实施着不受欢迎的货币紧缩政策。<span word="Everyone">Everyone</span>, <span word="including">including</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="British">British</span>, <span word="agreed">agreed</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Germans">Germans</span> <span word="were">were</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="most">most</span> <span word="trustworthy">trustworthy</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="EU">EU</span>, <span word="apart">apart</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Greeks">Greeks</span>, <span word="who">who</span> <span word="awarded">awarded</span> <span word="themselves">themselves</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="accolade">accolade</span>.除了希腊人以外，包括英国人在内的每一个欧洲人，都赞同日耳曼民族是最值得信赖的民族。在这一点上希腊人无疑使自己处在了一个尴尬的境地，因为他们之前把这个殊荣颁给了自己。</p>
