不要显得屈尊降贵:“我们是发展中国家,我们也知道这里有些方面确实落后。但不要因此就暗示自己‘高人一等’,尤其是你只不过是个老外而已。”

Don't be easily offended: "We have a huge sense of humor as a culture. Nothing is out of bounds for us! We'll mock,ridicule, insult, pick on and put down just for the fun of it, on a regular basis!"

不要经不起玩笑:“幽默在我们的文化里很盛行。我们完全是无底线的!一般情况下,我们可以只为了好玩而嘲讽、戏谑、侮辱、找茬儿或奚落你。”

Don't be afraid to try everything: "We love it when you try to say that ridiculously difficult word in Spanish, and you'll be met with proud cheers if you brave a bite out of that horrifyingly spicy pepper, or down that shot of tequila."

不要害怕尝试:“我们喜欢看你尝试用西班牙语蹦出一个搞笑的刁词儿,要是你敢咬一口超级辛辣的辣椒或呷一口龙舌兰,肯定会换来一片喝彩!”
