Universities in Europe are simply institutions of higher learning, nothing more.
欧洲的大学只是高等教育机构而已，没别的了。

Americans would be surprised by the cultural differences when it comes to university education. There are no athletic teams, no Greek life, no 30 foot climbing walls at universities in Europe. You come to school to learn and leave when your classes are over for the day. If you want to study, you can go to the library, but there is very little that a university offers outside of academia.
美国人在大学教育方面会因为文化上的巨大区别而感到惊讶。欧洲的大学里没有运动队，没有兄弟会和姐妹会，也没有30英尺高的攀岩墙。你来大学里就是学习的，今天的课程结束之后你就走了。如果你想要学习，你可以去图书馆，但是除了学术之外，一所大学能够提供的东西非常少。

I used to work in a call Center that took calls from Americans and Canadians. I’d ask “Where are you from, Canada or the US?” Canadians would say “Canada” and American would say “Texas” or “New York” etc. Never ever would they reply with their country name.
我曾经在一个呼叫中心打电话，那里接待的都是美国人和加拿大人的电话。我会问，“你来自哪里，加拿大还是美国？”加拿大人会说“加拿大”，但美国人会说“德克萨斯”或“纽约”之类的。从来没有人会回答自己国家的名字。

Might just be me, but I do notice when you ask Americans on the internet where they're from, they reply with either a state or a city instead of their country.
或许只有我一个人这么想，但是我确实发现当你在网上问美国人他们来自哪里的时候，他们要么回复的是州的名字，要么回复的是城市的名字，而不是自己的国家。

The thing is, it doesn't cause any confusion, since most people know most American states and at least the major cities.

I also find that Americans oft include where they were born. For example "I'm from Philly but originally from Jersey.
我还发现美国人经常会加上自己是哪里出生的。比如说，“我来自费城，但我是新泽西出生的。”

It makes a lot of sense actually. I grew up in Miami but have been living in NYC for a few years now. If I travel to Texas and someone asks me where I'm from, if feels wrong to say Miami because I haven't lived there in 7 years and it's changed a lot since I've been a resident.... but at the same time, I can't really say I'm from NYC because I'm not a native New Yorker and saying you're from NYC pretty much means you grew up there. So it makes sense to say both.
其实也挺说得通的。我在迈阿密长大，但是已经在纽约市住了好几年了。如果我现在去得州，遇到人问我是哪里的人，我觉得说自己是迈阿密人并不对，因为我已经七年没去过迈阿密了，并且它的变化已经很大了……但是与此同时，我也不好说我是个纽约人，因为我不是土生土长的纽约人，但是说我来自纽约的话差不多就意味着我是在纽约长大的。所以两个都说清楚是说得通的。

On a similar note, Americans seem to use England, Britain and the UK completely interchangeably. Likewise, I've had an Irish colleague of mine tell a story abkut how he spent 5 minutes having to explain the difference between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and that just because he's from Ireland doesn't mean he's from the United Kingdom.
类似的，美国人似乎觉得英格兰，不列颠和联合王国这三个词用起来完全没有区别。我有个爱尔兰的同学跟我讲过，他花了五分钟的时间向一个而美国人解释北爱尔兰和爱尔兰共和国的区别，以及他来自爱尔兰不代表他来自联合王国。

I'm an American who moved to Germany and people always say this like it's some weird thing we do, but whenever I get asked where I'm from and just say "the US", the next question is ALWAYS which state/city. Without fail.

I think that the common expectation about this dialog in European brain is like - ask where they are from, get a country. If country is big/known to you, then ask where exactly. If the country is small or you have no knowledge of it, then you say ok, cool. At least I heard it multiple times, when someone says they are from Italy, then they are often asked if from Rome/Sicily/Florence etc. if they say they are from Bosnia, Malta or Andorra (no insult) then the conversation pretty much stops there.
我觉得欧洲人脑子里关于这种对话的一般期待就是：问你是哪里人，问到一个国家。如果这个国家挺大，或者你了解，那就接着问具体是哪。如果这个国家挺小，或者你不了解，那你就说好，可以。至少我听过好几次，如果有人说他来自意大利，别人就会继续问他是来自罗马，西西里还是佛罗伦萨。如果有人说他来自波斯尼亚，马耳他或者安道尔（没有贬低的意思），那这段对话基本上就不会继续了。

Americans do the same with Americans if they're familiar with the state/area someone says they're from. Basically keep narrowing things down until things become unfamiliar
美国人跟美国人聊起天也会这样，如果对于对方的州或者地区感觉熟悉的话。基本上都会继续把话题继续细化下去，直到不熟悉为止。

“你哪儿的？”“印第安纳。”（如果不熟悉印第安纳的话，那话题就结束了，但如果熟悉的话……）“噢，具体哪里？”“拉法叶北边。”“噢，布鲁克斯顿那边？”“差不多，雷诺。”“酷，我从蒙诺市的工厂拉挂车的时候路过过几次。”

Lol- I’m american and I asked for the bill at a restaurant in France before we were finished eating because I’m aware of the need to ask for it and we wanted to be able to get up and leave whenever we wanted and not have to flag him down later (the restaurant was getting rather busy and didn’t want to bother him if he was preoccupied later).
哈哈哈——我是个美国人，我在法国的一家餐厅吃饭的时候，在吃完之前我们就叫服务生过来结账了，因为我知道我在这边得叫他们过来，并且我们也希望吃完了想走的时候就可以走，而不用一会儿再叫他一次（那家餐厅正在变得越来越忙，并且如果他之后忙起来的话我也不想打扰他）。

He was deeply offended and encouraged us that we were in no rush to leave. And then didn’t bring us the bill and refilled our waters and tried to get us to stay. I’m sorry random waiter I didn’t mean to offend you.
他当时非常恼火，跟我们说我们不需要急着走。然后他也没有把账单拿过来，而是给我们又续了点水，想让我们再待一会儿。真不好意思这位服务员，我不是有意冒犯你的。

ShitItsReverseFlash
I was a manager for Panera in my early 20s. Lady came up and said her french onion soup wasn’t hot enough. No problem, I’ll just get you another cup. Give her a fresh one from the soup well right in front of me. She then proceeds to try it on the counter - mind you other guests’ meals were being plated on that very same counter - and tells me it’s not hot enough. So I proceed to apologize and check the temperature of the soup on the line. It’s definitely hot enough and I showed her. She said the thermometer is broken. I told her there’s nothing I can do but we have a microwave out front if you’d like to use it to heat it up. My boss walks by (I’m shift manager and he’s assistant) and she stops him to tell him that I spit in her soup…
我20多岁的时候在Panera当经理。有个女士过来说她的法式洋葱汤不够热。没问题，我再给你弄一杯。从我正对着的汤桶里给她又盛了一杯，然后她就直接在收银台上尝了一口——其他客人的食物可都在这个收银台上放着呢——然后跟我说不够热。于是我跟她道歉，然后检查了一下汤的温度。绝对足够热，而且我给她看了。她说温度计坏了。我跟她说我实在帮不上忙，但是我们在前面有个微波炉，如果你想用的话可以拿它来加热。这时候我老板走了过来（我是轮班经理，他来帮我），她叫住我老板，说我往她的汤里吐痰……

补充：哈哈，每次我跟朋友们讲我的小姨子在餐厅里的行为的时候，他们都不敢相信。但这就是真的。她是我丈夫的妹妹。我已经有好几年没有跟她和她的……应该是第四任……丈夫吧，一起出过门了。

The funniest thing - I had already refused to go out with her for years previously. Then she married her current husband. My husband had gone out with them a few times when they took his mother out to eat. My husband is one of those people who wants to be best friends with everybody. He raved about the new husband and told me “He keeps her under control in restaurants. She doesn’t do that kind of thing any more. He won’t put up with it. You should get to know him. Let’s go out with them. I swear, she’s not like that anymore.”
最搞笑的事——我之前早就有好几年不跟她一起出门了。然后她嫁给了现在这个老公。之前他们带我岳母出去吃饭的时候，我丈夫跟她们一起去了几次。我丈夫是那种想要和所有人都成为好朋友的人。他跟我说起她的那个新老公，然后跟我说“他在餐厅把她训得服服帖帖的。她再也不会再做那种事了。他是不会容忍的。你应该认识认识他。我们去和他们一起出门吧。我发誓，她再也不像之前那样了。”

I agreed to meet and have dinner with them in a town somewhere between our place & their place, a 2 hour drive. I was looking forward to getting to know her husband. As soon as we walked in, the hostess showed us to our table. “I don’t want to sit here. I want to look out the window. I need light.”
于是我同意见面了，约定在我们家和他们家之间的一座城吃晚饭，开车大概两小时。我还挺期待认识她老公的。我们一进来，女服务生带我们去餐桌。“我不想坐在这。我想坐在看得见窗户的地方。我需要光。”

然后她就把自己湿漉漉的雨衣和雨伞都扔到了后面那桌的座位上。

女服务生：嘿，别这么做！有人要坐在这的。
SIL: Don’t be ridiculous. It’s not even 6pm. This place is empty and won’t fill up for hours.
小姨子：别搞笑了。现在还不到六点。这地方都是空的，几个小时也坐不满。
小姨子：别搞笑了。现在还不到六点。这地方都是空的，几个小时也坐不满。
The whole dinner consisted of berating the restaurant, the waiter, the chef (who was brought out to talk to her because the chef told the manager she had no fucking idea what this woman was talking about when she kept sending her dinner back demanding it be cooked differently). SIL yelled at her as if she was a catholic school nun who just found someone masturbating in the bathroom.
这顿晚餐从头到尾都充满了她对餐厅，对服务员，对主厨的痛斥（主厨被从厨房里拉过来跟她对话，因为主厨跟经理说这个女人一个劲地把她的晚餐送回厨房要求重做，她他妈根本不知道这个女人在说什么）。我小姨子像一个在天主教学校里发现有人在厕所打飞机的修女一样对着她怒吼。

I refused to eat my food in fear someone sabotaged it…I wouldn’t blame them if they did. The manager came to the table and was very nice. I said, “I have to go to the bathroom” and found the waiter and the manager. “Please,” I said, “don’t think you’ve done anything wrong. She’s always like that. Please ignore her. She’s a raging cunt.”
我已经不敢吃我的东西了，因为我害怕有人为了报复往里面放东西……如果他们真的这么做了我也不会责怪他们。经理走到了我们这桌，态度非常和善。我说，“我得去一趟洗手间”，然后我找到了服务生和经理。“不好意思”，我说，“别觉得你们做错了什么事。她一直都这样。别管她就行。她是个到处撒脾气的婊子。”

They were a little surprised to hear me, a well dressed, well behaved middle aged lady label my dinner companion a cunt. This is the US, where cunt isn’t the happy-go-lucky term of sarcastic endearment it means in other countries. It means fucking nasty bitch x 100.
他们听见我，一个衣着得体，态度不错的中年女性把自己吃晚餐的同伴称作“婊子”，还有点震惊。这可是美国，“婊子”这个词可不是其他国家那种想用就用的讽刺性的昵称。它在这的意思是难缠的狗贱货，再乘个一百倍。

I have never seen her since then. My husband said, “I’m so surprised. I really thought her husband tamed her.” He sent an email to the husband asking if something bad had happened before they came to the restaurant that caused his sister’s unacceptable behavior (he wouldn’t dare send it to his cunt sister).
此后我就再也没见过她了。我丈夫说，“我真惊讶，我真的以为她老公已经把她训好了。”他然后给她老公发了一封邮件，询问在来餐厅之前是不是发生了什么不好的事情，导致了他妹妹这种无法令人接受的行为（他自己也不敢直接把这封邮件发给他那个婊子妹妹）。

Haha! You just reminded me of my Dad's ex wife. She took a few cooking classes in France while on vacation and, apparently, all she took away from the lessons was how to complain about how people don't know how to cook properly...
哈哈！你让我想起了我爸的前妻。她在法国度假的时候学了几节烹饪课，显然她从这些课程中唯一学到的就是怎么抱怨别人不会做菜……

Her and her daughter would go out for dinner and verbally DESTROY the dishes they got. Of course the poor servers and managers would apologize and comp a desert, but eventually they worked their way through every spot in town and, for some reason, every place was booked when they called to get a second reservation.
她和她女儿出去吃晚餐的时候，会把给她们上的菜贬低得一无是处。当然那些可怜的服务生和经理就会过来道歉，赔一碟甜品，但是最终这两个女的把自己的名声传遍了整座小城，于是不知为何，她们第二次给任何一家餐厅打电话订位置的时候，都已经没位置了。

My Dad calmly but firmly explained to them that "Maybe those places didn't appreciate your excessive criticisms" and her reply, verbatim, was "We were doing the chef a favor by letting them know how they could make their food better!" So glad she's an ex..
我爸爸冷静但是坚定地对她们解释过“或许这些地方不是很认可你那些过度的批评”，然后她的回答，我一字不差地复述一遍：“我们是在给主厨帮个大忙，让他们知道怎么把饭做得更好吃！”真好，她是前妻……

We had a woman send back her bacon for being too crispy TWICE. Poor guy in the kitchen and even our FnB manager was like "we can't do it any less crispy without it not being legally to temperature".
我们遇到过一个女的，两次因为“太脆了”把培根送回来重做。厨房那个可怜的家伙，甚至我们的餐厅经理，都说“我们真的不能在合法的温度下做得再软了。”

Eventually we dragged another team leader out of the back office to do it for her and that seemed to placate her, but the ones she was sending back were barely even cooked ffs
最终我们从备用办公室里叫出另外一个队伍的领班给她做了，似乎让她满意了。但最后给她做的那份几乎都他妈是生的。

In Canada, drug companies are only allowed to advertise if they never say the name of the drug, OR if they never say what the drug does. They can't do both.
在加拿大，药物企业打广告的时候要么不能在广告里说药物的名字，要么不能说药物的疗效。不能两者一起说。

So if you watch any Toronto Blue Jays games lately you'll see ads behind the plate that say something like "Ibuflovazin - ASK YOUR DOCTOR" and you're just like "what the fuck is ibuflovazin".
所以如果你最近看了多伦多蓝鸟队的比赛的话，你就会看见广告上写着“布洛华欣——请 咨 询 医 生”，然后你就会想“布洛华欣他妈是个什么玩意儿”（译注：没有这种药哦，也没有上面的那个“头疼灵”）

This was the one I noticed the most on my first trip to England. I was watching rhe winter Olympics and couldn't figure out what was weird, then it finally hit me that there were no medical ads. And my family was just like, "yeah, they're illegal here". Which, I think is the right model.
我第一次去英格兰的时候，印象最深的就是这个。当时我在看冬奥会，觉得有哪里怪怪的又说不出来。最后我才想起来，那里没有医药广告。我的家人说，“对，在这边违法。”我觉得这样才是正确的。

It used to be illegal to plainly state what a drug treated, so ads had to just vaguely allude to their indications. Once those restrictions were removed drug ads exploded.
以前直接说药物能治疗什么病是违法的，所以广告只能暗示这个药物的用途。等到这种限制没有了，药物广告就井喷了。

In Germany, we were eating at a bit more expensive steak house next to a hotel. Service was just like expected in Germany. At another table I noticed a group of Americans (as far as I could tell by the accent and being next to a hotel I assumed) and I distinctively remember that they were asked if they wanted drinks with ice. We were never asked. Thought it’s interesting that this restaurant seems to train their staff to do their service differently depending on who their guests are.
在德国，我们正在酒店旁边的一家比较贵的牛排店吃饭。提供的服务就是德国很普通的那种。在另一桌，我注意到了一群美国人（我从他们的口音听出来的，而且既然是在一个酒店旁边，所以我是这么假设的），我记得非常清楚服务员特地问了他们饮料要不要加冰。没人问我们。我觉得挺有趣的，因为这家餐厅似乎让自己的服务员依照客人来自哪里去提供服务。

There isn't a lot of profit in food, because the cost of the material plus the cost of preparing it (wages, electricity, gas etc.) isn't that much lower than the price of the meal the customers pay. But as you say, drinks are dirt-cheap in purchase, but expensive when sold. Large profit margin.
食物本身的利润空间并不大，因为材料的成本加上烹饪的成本（工资，电费，天然气等等）比起消费者真正付的钱并不会低到拿去。但是如你所说，饮料进货的时候便宜的一比，但卖的时候却很贵。利润空间非常大。

But out of curisosity: refills are only a thing for non-alcoholic drinks, right? So you wouldn't get a free refill on wine or beer?

Yes, no such thing as free refill on alcohol or anything more complex like coffee drinks. Free refills are mostly a thing because of soda machines where people can quickly dispense their own drinks and it's dirt cheap.
