Составьте по этому тексту 5 it is easy to be rude on the continent. you just shout and call people names of a zoological character. in england rudeness has quite a different technique. if somebody tells you an obviously untrue story, on the continent you would remark, "you are a liar, sir, and rather dirty one at that." in england you just say, "oh, is that so? " or "that's rather an unusual story, isn't it? " when some years ago, knowing ten words in english and using them all wrong, i applied for a translator's job, my would-be employer (or would-be-not-employer) softly remarked, "i am afraid your english is somewhat unorthodox." this translated into any continental language would mean, "kick this gentleman down the steps! " in the 19th century, when a wicked and unworthy subject annoyed the sultan of turkey or the tzar of russia, he had his head cut off without much ceremony; but when the same happened in england, the monarch declared, "we are not amused," and the whole british nation even now, a century later, is immensely proud of how rude their queen was. terribly rude expressions (if pronounced seriously) are: "i am afraid ", "", "", "how " and "1 am sorry, " it is true that quite often you can hear remarks like: "you'd better see that you get out of here! " or "shut your big mouth! " or "dirty pig! " etc. these remarks are very un-english and are the results of foreign influence. (dating back, however, to the era of the danish invasion.)
