Don't fly a drone in Washington, DC. The whole D.C. Area is a no fly zone. It's a federal offense. Just don't do it.
不要在华盛顿特区飞无人机。整个特区都是禁飞区。飞无人机是联邦罪行。就别这么做。

When I lived in DC my brother came to visit and we did the mall tour. A dude brought a drone out and started flying in in front of the Washington monument.
我在华盛顿生活的时候，我的兄弟来找我玩，我们去商场里转了一圈，有个哥们儿掏了一架无人机出来开始在华盛顿纪念碑前面飞。

Don't try to bribe cops when you get pulled over. I had some Argentinian friends immediately pull out their wallets and start pooling their cash when they got pulled over once. Fortunately someone in the car noticed and told them to put it away immediately.
如果你被警察截停了，别试着贿赂警察。我有几个阿根廷朋友在被警察截停之后，马上就把钱包掏了出来。幸运的是车里有人意识到了，跟他们说赶快把钱包放回去。

Here in Colombia, a traffic cop will tell you, "Friend, we have like 50,000 ways to solve this." So you know he wants 50k. Or they may say "You were going 150,000 kmh, do you know why I stopped you?" so you need to give him 150k.
在哥伦比亚这里，交警会跟你说，“朋友，我们有五万种解决这个问题的方法。”那你就知道他想要五万了。或者他们可能说，“你超速了，15万公里每小时，你知道我为什么截停你吗？”这样你就得给他15万。

Or you simply pass them your license and registration with the bribe folded in, but it's better to know the ammount beforehand, as they can get mad at you for being "cheap"
或者你可以直接把贿赂的钱夹到你的驾照和驾驶证里交给他。但是最好还是提前知道要给多少钱，毕竟如果你给少了他们也会生气。

Plus, they will mostly want the bribe, writing fines is an inconvenience, and you can easy as fuck debate it, or at least get 80% off.

Bribes are effectively an encouragement for the system to remain broken. India is famous for how slow its bureaucracy works. One reason for that is that if you have enough money, you can make it work. So it becomes a system that works if you have enough money to bribe and is utterly useless if you don't.
贿赂是保持系统以坏掉的方式运行下去的有效激励。印度的官僚系统运转缓慢是举世闻名的。其中一个原因就在于只要你有足够的钱，你就可以让它运转起来。所以这个官僚系统就成为了只有你有钱才能运行起来，如果没钱就屁用没有的系统。

Normally, a broken system that is universal will mean the powerful have an incentive to change it. But if the problems don't effect them, it doesn't. Or often, it simply is a minor cost for them, but a major roadblock for the highly capable that are poor. It thus allows the powerful mediocre to keep ahead while the brilliantly poor cannot.
通常来说，一个无处不在的崩溃的体制意味着那些有权有势的人是有改变这个体制的动机的。但是如果问题没有影响到他们，那么改变就不会发生。或者更常见的是，这些对于他们来说只是不关痛痒的小问题，但是对于那些有能力却贫穷的人来说却是巨大的阻碍。因此这个体制能够允许平庸但有势力的人不断向上，但那些贫穷却有才能的人却做不到。

Probably the hardest thing in these processes is moving from a system where corruption is your source of wages to government funding. A permit may cost $50, you pay the workers who has to do the real work around it $5/hr for the work. But you can't get someone capable of doing proper analysis for $5/hr. So that smart worker takes a bribe so they really get paid $15/hr. If you take away the Bribe, they can't support themselves. It's hard to just pay $10 and say "take half as much bribes please". You need to jump from $5/hr to $15.
或许世界上最困难的事情，就是把一个收入靠贿赂的体制转变成收入靠政府预算的体制。一项许可可能要花50元能办下来，你可以给干活的工人每小时5美元的工资，但是每小时5美元的工资是不能雇到那种真正有能力去做分析的人的。所以聪明的工人就会收贿赂，真正拿到手里的钱就是每小时15美元。但是如果你不让他们收贿赂，他们就养活不起自己了。你不能给他们每小时10美元，然后告诉他们“从今往后请收一半的贿赂”。你需要直接从每小时5美元跳到每小时15美元。

It's similar to the idea I hear that politicians should get paid poorly. Which is a Terrible idea. If you're actually capable, you probably can get a decent job that pays well. But if you only get paid a pittance, then you either need to survive on bribery or the ultra rich are the only ones who can lead.
这和我听说的政客应该少拿钱这种想法也是类似的，这个想法其实很糟糕。如果你真的有能力，那么你很可能确实可以得到一份工资不错的工作。但是如果你只有一点油水，那么你要么只能靠贿赂活下去，要么就只能把工作让给那些非常有钱的人。

I had a deal many years ago where they had announced shoes no longer needed to be removed. There were signs (at LAX) saying this. So I left my shoes on. After I walked through the magnetrometer I was informed I needed to go back and remove my shoes. I asked why - they said "because you chose not to remove your shoes before, you have been sexted for extra screening." I complained that had there not been a sign specifically saying I didn't need to remove my shoes, I would have removed them. They said "this is so we can see who is trying to avoid removing their shoes."
很多年前我曾经遇到过一件事，他们公告说现在过安检不需要脱鞋了。在洛杉矶国际机场有标语写着这件事。所以我就把鞋穿着了。在走过电磁探测器之后，他们跟我说我得回去把鞋脱掉。我问为什么，他们说“因为你选择了在过安检的时候不脱鞋，所以你被选中要重新接受一遍安检。”我说要不是外面有个公告特地说了我用不着脱鞋，我就把鞋脱了。他们说“这样我们就能知道是谁不愿意脱鞋了。”

Metal detectors are all different and some have sensitivity settings. In some places metal detectors aren’t even real. They just look like metal detectors to dissuade people.
金属探测器之间的区别很大，并且有些有敏感度的设定。在某些地方，金属探测器甚至都不是真的，只是把它做得像真的一样来吓唬人。

I'm from the US, so I grew up knowing how huge our large drinks are. But then I moved to Texas and ordered a medium drink from Whataburger and realized I knew nothing about comically oversized drinks.
我是诶国人，所以我从小就知道我们的大杯有多大。但是我搬到得克萨斯州，在Whataburger点了一份中杯的饮料之后，我才发现我对于那些漫画一样夸张的大杯饮料真的一无所知。

或者儿童杯。大得如果你把一个小孩子变成液体，正好能装满一杯。

When I was fresh out of high school I had a friend who was murdered for honking at someone. It was terribly sad.
我高中刚毕业的时候，有个朋友因为按喇叭被枪杀了。真的很令人难过。

If you come from a walkable country don’t come here expecting the same. There are some areas with good public transportation and bicycle/pedestrian friendly streets but for the most part, especially outside of cities, the areas are designed to accommodate cars more than anything else. The reason a lot of Americans drive everywhere is because (depending on where you live) we have no choice.
如果你来自一个走路很方便的国家，那么不要期待这里也是一样的。有些地方的公共交通确实不错，并且也有对自行车和路人很友好的街道，但是绝大多数地方，尤其是城市的外围，规划都是首先照顾汽车的。很多美国人不论去哪都开车的原因就是（取决于你住在哪）我们没有别的选择。

UK gal back and forth to USA here and I couldn’t believe it when someone said there were ‘no public footpaths through farmers fields’. They everywhere in UK. Oklahomans told me I can get shot at pretty quick for any of that business!
我是个往返美国的英国妹子，我无法相信有人说美国没有“农地里的公共小路”。在英国到处都有。俄克拉荷马人跟我说，如果我敢走进别人家的农田，我很可能会被枪杀的。

The comparison I've often heard is "In Europe 200 miles is a long distance, in the US 200 years is a long time"
我经常听见的一句话就是，“在欧洲，200英里是一段很长的距离；在美国，200年是一段很长的时间。”

Underestimate how huge the US is. If you plan on driving it can take hours to not even get half way across some states.
低估美国的国土面积。如果你计划在美国自驾游，那么你可能开几个小时的时间都走不到一个州的一半。

I had a family friend come to the USA from France. She decided she would drive from New York down the east coast. Across the south. Up the west coast. And then back across the north. Then fly out of Chicago. She was here for 2 weeks. She didn't believe us when we said that's not enough time.
我有个亲友从法国来到了美国。她决定从纽约开车沿着东海岸往南开，横跨南部，然后开到西海岸，最后再从北部开回来，最后从芝加哥飞走。她在这里待了两个星期。我们跟她说时间不够用的时候她还不相信。

She never made it to the west coast. She went south to Orlando, went West till Dallas, and turned north to Chicago. She called us the first night of it was normal to drive all day and not get that far. We had to explain that yes, that was normal.
她根本就没开到西海岸。她往南开到了奥兰多，往西开到了达拉斯，然后就往北开到了芝加哥。她在第一天晚上就给我们打电话，问我们开一整天的车还开不到地方是不是正常的事。我们解释说没错，确实很正常。

Reminds me of a story about some Japanese businessesmen in the 70s, flew into LA and were supposed to fly from there to Chicago but the flight was canceled. So they decided to rent a car and drive. They made it to Las Vegas and booked another flight from there, realizing their mistake.
让我想起了70年代的几个日本商人的故事，飞到了洛杉矶，本来应该从洛杉矶飞到芝加哥的，但是航班取消了。所以他们决定租一辆车开过去。他们开到了拉斯维加斯，然后在意识到了自己的错误之后从那里订了个航班飞了过去。

When they got to Chicago they told their American counterparts "we had no idea your country was so big and we were idiots to think we could defeat you in the war"
等到飞抵芝加哥之后，他们跟美国同事说，“我们对于你们国家有多大真的一无所知，我们竟然还以为能够在战争中打败你们，真是够蠢的。”

I met a couple from Spain in St Pete's Beach Florida a few years back and they mentioned they were driving out to LA and then up to Portland to fly out. They were thinking it would only take a few hours to get from FL to CA and were baffled when I told then it was going to take 3ish days to get there.
我几年前在佛罗里达的圣彼得海滩遇见了一对来自西班牙的夫妇，他们说他们打算开车去洛杉矶，然后北上到波特兰，坐飞机回去。他们觉得从佛罗里达到加州只需要几个小时，但是我跟他们说要花差不多三天的时候他们都懵了。

I’m from Australia and friend who traveled to the US told me about how he got pulled over for speeding in the middle of nowhere in Nevada. Guns drawn shouted instructions until they spoke to them and heard the Aussie accents, guns went away, they became friendly and let them off with a warning.
我来自澳大利亚，我去过美国的朋友跟我说他在内华达州的荒野里因为超速而被警察截停了。枪也掏了，喊话也喊了，直到互相说了两句话，听出了澳洲口音，于是枪就放下了，他们变得友善了很多，口头警告之后就放他们走了。

This would be the answer I would give. In Germany it's pretty common for men to pull over and urinate on the side of the road; however, in the US, depending on the location/near a school, could be considered a sexual offense.
我本来也想说这个的。在德国，男的停个车在路边尿一泡还是挺普遍的；但是在美国，取决于位置，你可能被认为是性侵犯。
