In the UK, you are FREE TO DRINK IN PUBLIC as long as you don’t try to smash someone’s head when you’re drunk, or do anything similar. It makes far more sense to me than American draconian drinking laws.
In the UK, you DON’T HAVE TO TIP the waiters or waitresses because they are paid a decent wage.
在英国，你可以在公共场合喝酒，只要你不试图在喝醉的时候砸别人的头，或做其他类似的事情。对我来说，这比美国严厉的饮酒法更有意义。
在英国，你不必给服务员小费，因为他们的工资不错。

In the UK you can laugh about the other country’s choice of president (we don’t have a president, but some of our past prime ministers have got a lot of laughs).
You can pay for an airline ticket, sit in your passenger seat safe in the knowledge that you won't be assaulted, unlawfully arrested and removed from the aircraft just because a member of airline staff wants your seat.
You can walk around happy that you aren’t going to be the victim of a gun crime (unless perhaps you are an inner city teenage enthnic minority gang member out of your area of influence, even so, such a person is far more likely to get stabbed than shot). Many (of the very few) deaths by gunshot are suicides (often of lonely farmers).
You can also live in the UK with a very low risk of being murdered (compared with the USA).
In the UK there is no extra-judicial rendition or torture. The police just slap you around a little bit, off camera, just to make them feel better. Most police officers however are very professional and courteous , unlike the cowboys that you have in the NYPD.
Most police officers do not carry guns here and those that do won’t shoot you just because you are black.
在英国，你可以嘲笑其他国家的总统人选（我们没有总统，但我们过去的一些首相却有很多笑料）。
你可以付机票钱，安全地坐在乘客座位上，不会因为航空公司的工作人员想要你的座位而遭到攻击、被非法逮捕或被赶下飞机。
你可以高兴地走在大街上，因为你不会成为枪支犯罪的受害者（除非你是一个远离你的势力范围的市中心的少数民族青少年帮派成员，即便如此，这样的人更有可能被刺伤而不是被枪杀）。许多死于枪击的人是自杀（通常是孤独的农民）。
你也可以生活在英国，被谋杀的风险非常低（与美国相比）。
在英国，没有法外引渡或酷刑。警察只是在镜头外拍打你一下，只是为了让他们感觉好一点。然而，大多数警察都是非常专业和礼貌的，不像你在纽约警察局看到的牛仔。
大多数警察在这里不带枪，那些带枪的警察不会因为你是黑人就开枪。

In the UK it is quite reasonable to have the opinion (based on fact supported by evidence of correlation) that very high rates of gun ownership guarantees a high mortality rate from gun crime, because we don’t have a political gun lobby or a national culture of absolute denial.
In contrast, in the USA “guns don’t kill people, only people kill people”.
In the UK it is perfectly acceptable to criticise Israeli foreign policy or politics generally.
You can say please, thank you and sorry all day and people won’t think you are odd or eccentric (it is expected).
In the UK you have FREE quality healthcare according to your immediate medical need rather than according to your ability to pay. If you want to pay for private healthcare here, you will get the same high quality of care, same equipment, often the same doctors, but you will be guaranteed a private room on your own (likely in a private wing or entirely private hospital) and you may be seen a little faster if your procedure is non-emergency, the food will also be far better.
You will live a longer life in the UK on average by almost two years.
In addition, British youngsters have free dental and orthodontic treatment including free braces (if necessary). Dental treatment for adults over 18 is subsidised (if not private) and free if the patient is unwaged. Optician visits/glasses are similarly either free or subsidised according to choice.
在英国，有一种观点（基于相关证据支持的事实）是相当合理的，即非常高的枪支持有率保证了枪支犯罪导致的高死亡率，因为我们没有枪支政治游说团体，也没有绝对否认枪支的国家文化。
相比之下，在美国“枪不杀人，只有人杀人”。
在英国，批评以色列的外交政策或政治是完全可以接受的。
你可以整天说“请”、“谢谢”和“对不起”，人们不会认为你是一个古怪的人而对你区别对待（这是意料之中的）。
在英国，你可以根据你的即时医疗需求获得免费的优质医疗服务，而不是根据你的支付能力。如果你想在这里购买私人医疗服务，你会得到同样高质量的护理，同样的设备，通常也会是同样的医生，但你会得到一个单独的私人房间（可能是在私人病房或完全私人的医院），如果你的医疗程序不是那么紧急，你可能会得到更快的治疗，食物也会更好。
在英国，你的平均寿命将延长近两年。
此外，英国青少年还接受免费的牙齿矫正治疗，包括免费的牙套（如有必要）。18岁以上成年人的牙科治疗有补贴（如果不是私人的），如果病人没有工资，则免费。验光师/眼镜同样是免费或补贴的，可以根据自己的情况进行选择。

Average people in the UK have a much higher rate of success in further education (very few drop out of college or university, for whatever reason).
Graduates do not die of old age with a student debt still outstanding.
You can say a person is “black” without causing offence. Describing a person as “coloured” will cause great offence.
However, we can buy a doormat or toilet roll with a picture of the USA president on it (bet you can’t do the same in the USA). It’s actually supposed to be a joke but I can see how Republicans may view this as an insult.
It is quite acceptable to be atheist and/or humanist in the UK and it may well be to your advantage, it may proffer you greater respect (unlike in the USA where atheists are treated with derision/suspicion).
We have a far better chance of maintaining a healthy bodyweight in the UK (although we are slowly catching up with the Americans in terms of obesity related diseases).
British teenagers can be, well…..teenagers, without being forced to take harmful prescxtion medication or incarcerated in mental hospitals just because they may show a little defiance occasionally.
在英国，普通人在继续教育上的成功率要高得多（无论出于何种原因，很少有人从学院或大学辍学）。
毕业生不会带着尚未偿还的学生债务老去。
你可以说一个人是“黑人”而不会冒犯他，把一个人描述成“有色人种”会引起极大的冒犯。
然而，我们可以买到印有美国总统照片的门垫或厕纸（我打赌在美国你做不到）。这其实是一个笑话，但我知道共和党人可能会认为这是一种侮辱。
在英国，成为无神论者和/或人文主义者是完全可以接受的，这可能对你有利，它可能会给你带来更大的尊重（不像在美国，无神论者会被嘲笑/怀疑）。
在英国，我们有更好的机会保持健康的体重（尽管我们在肥胖相关疾病方面正慢慢赶上美国人）。
英国的青少年可以是.....青少年，不需要因为偶尔表现出一点反抗而被迫服用有害的处方药或被关进精神病院。

In the UK, if a boy, you have just over a 95 % chance of avoiding circumcision compared with only about 30 % in the USA.
In the UK you can arrive home to a modern airport. You can also go virtually anywhere using public transport and mostly trains rather than coaches for longer distances. You can also get a train and travel under the sea to another country (France).
You don’t need a car to live in any city.
If you are technically dead, the hospital will turn off the ventilator rather than keep your heart pumping just to extract money from the insurance company for the next 30 years.
In the UK we can obtain a Mobile (cellphone) SIM card (pay monthly or pay as you go) and put the SIM in any phone we chose. We can buy phones separately and without contract (which is far cheaper) and we can have SIM cards without contract. There is much greater freedom of choice. We also don’t pay anything to receive calls.
Woman here can get family planning advice or treatment without risk of being harassed or facing threat of violence just for attending a clinic..
在英国，如果是男孩，你有超过95%的机会避免割礼，而在美国只有30%。
在英国，你可以乘坐现代化的飞机回家。你也可以乘坐公共交通工具去任何地方，如果距离较远，大部分是火车，而不是长途汽车。你也可以坐火车去到另一个国家旅行（法国）。
住在任何城市都不需要汽车。
如果你严格意义上已经死了，医院会关闭呼吸机，而不是让你的心脏继续跳动，只是为了在未来30年里从保险公司那里榨取钱。
在英国，我们可以获得一张手机SIM卡（按月支付或随用随付），然后把SIM卡放在我们选择的任何手机里。我们可以单独购买无合同手机（这要便宜得多），我们可以有无合同的SIM卡。有更大的选择自由，我们接听电话也不付任何费用。
这里的女性可以得到计划生育建议或治疗，而不会因为去诊所看病而面临被骚扰或暴力威胁的风险。

In the USA you are seven times more likely to be incarcerated as a criminal. So criminals in the UK have more chance of having a non custodial sentence (or perhaps shorter sentence) for less serious non-violent offences and a much higher chance of rehabilitation.
You are encouraged to jaywalk in the UK, it is perfectly legal (not highways) and we have a much lower incidence of accidents involving pedestrians and motor vehicles. Don’t ever attempt this on a road with a speed limit above 30 mph.
Without a jaywalking law, drivers have more spacial awareness of pedestrians crossing.
You won’t face the death penalty in the UK (no country in Europe has capital punishment) and very few prisoners here suffer the torture of solitary confinement.
People can legally buy alcohol in pubs/bars at age 18. The legal age for buying cigarettes is also 18.
However, almost 2/3rds of British males and 1/2 of British females aged 17 drink alcohol regularly (at least once per week).
People can buy a huge range of quality beers here that have not been watered down.
In the UK you can smoke a “fag” (slang for cigarette).
在美国，你作为罪犯被监禁的可能性是其他国家的7倍。因此，英国的罪犯有更多的机会被判非监禁（或更短的刑期），对较轻的非暴力犯罪有更高的机会改过自新。
在英国，你被鼓励乱穿马路，这是完全合法的（不是在高速公路上），我们涉及行人和机动车的事故发生率要低得多。千万不要在限速30英里/小时以上的道路上尝试这样做。
没有乱穿马路的法律，司机对行人过马路有更多的空间意识。
在英国你不会面临死刑（欧洲没有哪个国家有死刑），这里很少有囚犯遭受单独监禁的折磨。
年满18岁的人可以在酒吧合法买酒，购买香烟的法定年龄也是18岁。
然而，英国几乎三分之二的17岁的男性和二分之一的女性经常喝酒（至少每周一次）。
人们可以在这里买到大量未经稀释的优质啤酒。
在英国，你可以抽“fag”（香烟的俚语）。

In the UK, “pissed” means drunk, “pissed off” means angry, “piss” is (vulgar) urine, “pissing” is urinating. The word can also be used as a (vulgar) intensifier such as “piss awful” or “piss poor” or if raining very heavily “pissing down”.
In the UK we wear trousers (pants), under the trousers men wear pants (boxers, briefs or trunks). Women wear knickers (panties) and tights (pantyhose).
Whatever you do, don’t go outside without wearing trousers or pants, or you will likely get arrested.
In the UK you can drink a “cuppa” (cup of tea). You can also dip your biscuits (cookies) in your cuppa (but not in polite company).
You can buy real chips rather than “french fries” which are loaded with salt.
In the UK you really can buy disgusting risky take-away food if you are less than discerning (or drunk perhaps). If you buy ethnic food and are quite lucky, you might actually be sold the meat that you thought you ordered as stated on the menu. My advice would be to avoid anything that might resemble a rodent curry. There are excellent restaurants but you must pay more than in the USA and do expect an occasional rude waiter if the establishment is expensive (or simply French themed).
Generally speaking, service is better in the USA because there is a higher expectation, Americans are also far better at complaining without feeling embarrassed.
在英国，“pissed”意思是喝醉了，“pissed off”意思是生气，“piss”是（粗俗的），“pissing”是urine（小便）。这个词也可以用作粗俗的加强词，如“piss awful”或“piss poor”，如果雨下得很大，则可以用作“piss down”。
在英国，我们穿长裤，在长裤里面男人穿长裤。女人穿短裤（内裤）和紧身衣（连裤袜）。
无论你做什么，都不要不穿裤子就出门，否则你可能会被逮捕。
在英国，你可以喝一杯茶。你也可以把饼干蘸在茶里（但不要在有礼貌的人面前这样做）。
你可以买真正的薯条，而不是“french fries”，因为它们加了很多盐。
在英国，如果你不够眼力（或者喝醉了），你真的可以买到令人作呕的高风险外卖。如果你买了民族风味的食品，而且很幸运，你可能会买到你认为你点的菜单上的肉。我的建议是避免买任何类似于啮齿动物的食品。这里有很多很棒的餐厅，但你必须比在美国付更多的钱，而且如果餐厅很贵（或者是法国主题餐厅），偶尔会有几个粗鲁的服务员。
一般来说，美国的服务更好，因为有更高的期望，美国人也更善于抱怨，而不会感到尴尬。

You can buy milk free of puss and other contaminants in the UK (unlike in the USA where dairy cows are force fed antibiotics to promote abnormal, unhealthy growth).
90 % of Uk residents have a drinking water supply that does not contain fluoride.
You can often get on a public bus in London and never hear anyone speak English for the entire journey.
You can wander around without ever having to hear “have a nice day” or “happy holidays”.
You will never see an American flag here or a star spangled bikini or T-shirt.
You can shout “down with USA” or “down with UK” and no one will take any notice.
在英国，你可以买到不含其他污染物的牛奶（不像在美国，奶牛被强制喂食抗生素，以促进不正常、不健康的生长）。
90%的英国居民的饮用水不含氟化物。
你经常可以在伦敦乘坐公共汽车，在整个旅程中都听不到有人说英语。
你可以四处闲逛，而不用听到“祝你今天愉快”或“节日快乐”。
你在这里看不到美国国旗，也看不到星条旗的比基尼或T恤。
你可以喊“打倒美国”或“打倒英国”，没有人会在意的。

In the UK you can be a socialist and not get abused.
You could even be a communist, people would just laugh in sympathy (unless you are from China or Cuba).
Girls can play netball at school (a derivative of basketball).
Anyone can play cricket.
Legally drive on the left.
In the UK you have a choice to go to an American coffee shop and drink a tub of mostly sugar, or you can go elsewhere and drink real coffee as it is meant to be prepared.
Your children can attend school without being forced religious doctrine or creationist nonsense.
Equally you have a choice to send your children here to a religious school where they may be taught hatred of non believers, even your daughter may be taught she should not expect that her human rights or legal rights as a female be respected. It is your choice, the government does not legislate with regard to secular or religious education.
We have great comedy in the UK but in many cases you may need to be British to understand it.
在英国，你可以是一个社会主义者并且不会被虐待。
你甚至可以是一个共产主义者，人们只会同情地笑（除非你来自中国或古巴）。
女生可以在学校打无挡板篮球（篮球的衍生）。
谁都会打板球。
靠左行驶是合法的。
在英国，你可以选择去一家美国咖啡店，喝一桶主要含糖的咖啡，或者去其他地方喝真正的咖啡，因为它本来就是准备好的。
你的孩子可以不受宗教教义或神创论的强迫而上学。
同样，你可以选择把你的孩子送到宗教学校，在那里他们可能被教导为仇恨的信徒，甚至你的女儿也可能被教导，她不应该期望自己作为女性的人权或法律权利得到尊重。这是你的选择，政府不就世俗或宗教教育立法。
在英国，我们有很棒的喜剧，但在很多情况下，你可能需要是英国人才能理解它。

William Braden
“It is quite acceptable to be atheist … in the UK …(unlike in the USA where atheists are treated with derision/suspicion).” The USA is actually rather a large place, with different cultures in different locales. There are indeed places that fit your descxtion, others not so much. For the atheist thing, it wouldn’t be a problem in New York, New England, or West Coast cities, for example.
“在英国，成为无神论者是可以接受的……（不像在美国，无神论者会被嘲笑/怀疑）。” 美国实际上是一个很大的地方，不同的地方有不同的文化。确实有一些地方符合你的描述，其他地方则不太符合。对于无神论者来说，这在纽约、新英格兰或西海岸城市就不是问题。

This is too good. In UK you can have a committee taking over 10 years to examine whether participation in Iraq “conquest’ was right. In US democracy one cant think of even such response to public feeling. In USA the thought of medical bill itself prevents many to have treatment. Thanks for the comparison and contrast.
这太好了。在英国，你可以有一个委员会，花10年时间来调查参与“征服”伊拉克是否正确。在美国民主国家，人们甚至无法想象对公众情绪的这种反应。在美国，医疗账单本身就阻止了许多人接受治疗，谢谢你的比较和对比。

Lots of people who come here often miss a joke, or stare blankly when one is made.
很多来这里的人经常错过一个笑话，或者当一个笑话出现时茫然地盯着。

I think the usual misunderstood jokes are sarcasm based, these can be hard to detect even if English is your first language!
我认为通常被误解的笑话都是基于讽刺，即使英语是你的第一语言，这些都很难察觉！

Further to your excellent answer is that prisoners in the UK will not be threatened with the death penalty and will not be at risk of being murdered because the drug which is used to kill you is almost out of date and the prison authorities want to use it all up so as not to waste it.
除了你的精彩回答之外，英国的囚犯不会受到死刑的威胁，也不会有被谋杀的风险，因为用来杀死你的药物几乎已经过期了，监狱当局想用完它，以免浪费。

I also DO NOT own a gun. But I may IF I wish to.
我在美国的每个州，大多数主要城市，到处走走，开车，我已经57岁了，从来没有被枪击过，也不害怕被枪击的可能性。
我也没有枪，但如果我愿意，我可以拥有枪。

That’s interesting what you say about ‘please and thank you’. I’ve been watching a lot of US reality shows recently and notice although people say thank you, hardly anyone says please. This fits in with what I see when observing US citizens when on holiday in the Caribbean. When ordering from the bar I heard ‘give me’ and ‘get me’ all the time and it was never accompanied with a ‘please’. A friend’s nephew was married to an American lady and she never said please either! Now that’s a huge cultural difference between the two countries, although I have to admit that sadly here the word please seems to be becoming a thing of the past. For me please and thank you is the very cornerstone of manners.
你说的“请和谢谢”很有意思。我最近看了很多美国真人秀，发现虽然人们会说谢谢，但几乎没有人会说请。这与我观察美国公民在加勒比海度假时所看到的情况相吻合。在酒吧点餐的时候，我总是听到“给我”的声音，而且从来没有一句“请”。一个朋友的侄子娶了一位美国女士，她也从来没有说过“请”！这是两国之间巨大的文化差异，我不得不承认，可悲的是，“请”这个词似乎已经成为过去式了，对我来说请和谢谢是礼貌的基础。

Get unlimited television with hundreds of channels for just £145.50 a year (the national TV license fee), including all the high-quality advertising-free BBC television and radio, including via Internet. I've lived in several countries, and the British TV system is undoubtedly the best on the planet, and probably the cheapest.
See news reports from all around the world as part of a normal bulletin, even if there are no British people involved.
Watch an advert on the TV knowing that it is completely truthful
Drive forty miles and find people who speak English with a completely different accent / dialect from where you started
Get elected into Parliament without once ever having to go on a campaign financing campaign, or suck up to special interests
Get a medal, a knighthood, or even a peerage, from doing your normal day job well, if it benefits the nation.
Serve as a police officer without receiving any firearms training at all (though you can if you want to)
Serve as a part-time "special constable" police officer (with full powers of arrest) without getting paid anything for doing it
Wear a white wig as a barrister when you are representing your client in court.
每年只要花145.5英镑（国家电视许可费），就可以无限制地观看数百个频道的电视节目，包括所有高质量的、不含广告的BBC电视和广播节目，包括通过互联网收看的节目。我在几个国家生活过，英国的电视系统无疑是世界上最好的，也可能是最便宜的。
看世界各地的新闻报道作为一个正常的公告的一部分，即使没有英国人涉及。
看电视上的广告，知道它是完全真实的
开40英里的车去找那些说英语的人，他们的口音和你开始时的口音完全不同
不需要进行竞选筹款活动就能当选国会议员，也不需要讨好特殊利益集团
如果你的日常工作做得好，对国家有好处，你可以获得奖章、爵士头衔，甚至是贵族头衔。
在没有接受任何枪械训练的情况下当警察（当然如果你想的话也可以）
做一名兼职的“特别警员”警官（拥有完全的逮捕权），不需要任何报酬
当你在法庭上代表你的当事人时，需要戴上白色的假发。

Go onto private land without permission, if you do so to pick wild mushrooms.
Use a public right of way across private land, even if the landowner obxts.
Get treated for cancer and other serious medical conditions at public expense, no matter whether you can pay anything or not.
Pay a fixed prescxtion charge of £8.40 per item, no matter what the drug actually costs. And a lot of people don't pay anything at all. The downside is that you can only get things approved by NICE, so some newer or expensive things aren't covered. Also, cheaper drugs are still charged at this fixed price.
Walk into a doctor's office or hospital and get treatment, without anyone asking for insurance or credit card details.
Know that there is zero chance you will be made bankrupt by a health issue.
Have the RIGHT to be baptised, married, and for a funeral in your local (Church of England / Anglican / Episcopal) parish church, even if you don't attend.
Go to college in "New Buildings" that were constructed in the 16th century.
Walk or drive down a road that was originally built by the Romans and has been in more or less continuous use ever since.
未经许可擅自进入私人土地采摘野生蘑菇。
在私有土地上使用公共通行权，即使土地所有人反对。
无论你付不付得起钱，都要用公费来治疗癌症和其他严重的疾病。
无论药物的实际价格是多少，都要支付8.4英镑的处方药费用。很多人根本不付钱。缺点是你只能得到NICE批准的东西，所以一些更新或昂贵的东西不包括在内。此外，较便宜的药品仍按这个固定价格收费。
走进医生办公室或医院接受治疗，没有人询问保险或信用卡信息。
要知道，你不会因为健康问题而破产。
即使你不参加，也有权在你当地的教区教堂（英国国教/圣公会）接受洗礼、结婚和参加葬礼。
在16世纪建造的“新建筑”里上大学。
步行或驾车沿着最初由罗马人建造的道路行驶，从那时起，这条道路或多或少地一直在使用。

Go to the pub at lunchtime, drink a beer with your meal and return to work without anyone becoming concerned you have an alcohol problem.
Discern the value of paper money at a glance due to color and size.
Drive for two hours and hear a significant difference in the local accent in the place you now find yourself.
Be openly atheist without anyone thinking much of it. In fact it making you part of a de facto majority.
午餐时间去酒吧，边吃边喝啤酒，然后回去工作，没有人会担心你有酗酒问题。
根据纸币的颜色和大小，一眼就能辨别纸币的价值。
开上两个小时的车，你会发现你所在的地方的口音有很大的不同。
公开成为无神论者，不会引起其他人多想。事实上，这让你成为了大多数人的一部分。

Expect to own a front-loading washing machine, which you can pick up second hand for as little as £20, and not have seen a top-loading washing machine since the 1960s.
Not have air conditioning, because if you did have it you would only need it for two weeks a year and it isn't worth the bother.
Marry at 16 (with parental consent in England and Wales, without it in Scotland). There are restrictions which say that a person in authority, such as a teacher, cannot have sex with a person who is under their authority and is 16 or 17 unless they marry them first, but other than that the age of sexual consent is 17 in Northern Ireland and 16 everywhere else. You can own your own flat and live wholly independently from the age of 16, although if you are under 17 and deemed to be in moral danger (i.e. a prostitute or addict) you can be sent back to your parents or into care until you turn 17. At 18 you are fully adult and can do absolutely everything except drive a heavy goods vehicle or own a business which sells alcohol, for which you have to be 21. It used to be that you had to be 21 to be an MP or town councillor and iirc 27 to be a magistrate, but now you can do those at 18 too. For some purposes the voting age is as low as 16.
你可以拥有一台前置式洗衣机，只需20英镑就能买到二手的，自20世纪60年代以来就再也没有见过前置式洗衣机了。
没有空调，因为如果你有空调，你一年只需要用两个星期，不值得这么麻烦。
16岁结婚（在英格兰和威尔士需要父母同意，在苏格兰则不需要）。
有一些限制规定，有权威的人，比如老师，不能与16或17岁的下属发生性关系，除非他们先与对方结婚，但除此之外，北爱尔兰的性许可年龄是17岁，其他地方是16岁。你可以拥有自己的公寓，从16岁开始完全独立生活，但如果你未满17岁，被认为有道德危险（如妓女或瘾君子），你可以被送回父母身边或寄养到17岁。18岁时，你完全成年了，除了驾驶重型货车或一家必须年满21岁才能拥有的酒类销售公司外，你可以做任何事情。过去必须年满21岁才能成为国会议员或镇议员，年满27岁才能成为地方法官，但现在年满18岁也可以。出于某些目的，投票年龄低至16岁。
