99%的中国人会长期误解的英美文化知识

99% 的中国人会长期误解的英美文化知识乱七八糟的都讲一点，是真正的杂谈，资料来源主要是英美人的宪法法律法规历史教材等等，为了阅读方便，前面不注明出处，最后会一一列出。

很多错误，历史来源已久，一般是翻译错误，尤其是因为翻译者的参考文献渠道不足。

我能在这里纠正，主要是因为今天的电子资讯手段足够发达。

1. 美国的50 个“州”，应该翻译为50“国”，“美利坚合众国”应该翻译为“美利坚联合国”。

这问题很复杂，后面慢慢谈。

2. 美利坚联合国是没有规定官方语言的。

其他各国（州），有的有规定，有的没有。

英语只是事实上的通用语，因为使用的人最多；西班牙语是英语之后的第二大共同语，占全国人口12%，因为美国这片土地的最早征服者是西班牙人；第三大共同语，是广东话，不是中国普通话，主要是移民文化决定的。

在美国法庭认证的口译服务中，有广东话(Cantonese)、福建/闽南话(Fukienese)、台山话(Toisanese)、客家话(Hakkanese)、上海话(Shanghainese)，等等。

目前为止，官方中文版以繁体字居多。

美国最早的建国业绩，应该从西班牙人开始算起，虽然当时他们对美洲本地人作恶多端。

3. NBA 中的费城76人队(Philadelphia 76ers)，不是指76 个队员，应该叫美国1776 年人队，或者叫76 年人队。

球队的英文名为Philadelphia 76ers。

这只球队的组建，是为了纪念1776 年《独立宣言》在费城的签署，在英文中spirit of seventy-six 就是指1776 年的独立宣言精神，有一部电影就叫The Spirit of '76，也是指这段历史。

英文的拼法，一般美国人是不会理解错误的，中文翻译为76 人，显然不恰当。

4. 其次谈谈美国的爱尔兰人。

英格兰、苏格兰、爱尔兰在历史上都曾经是彼此独立的国家。

跟中国不同，他们之间始终没有被彻底征服和消灭，其中奥妙就是里通外国，苏格兰和爱尔兰都打不过英格兰，不想被吞并，苏格兰请法国人帮忙，爱尔兰请西班牙人帮忙。
