General rule:



通常情况是：




?People who are English won't care



?
英格兰人不介意




?Welsh will care and think you're an idiot



?
威尔士人会介意并认为你是白痴




?Scots will really care, and think you an idiot



?
苏格兰人真的会介意并认为你是白痴




?Roughly 50% of people in Northern Ireland will really, really care
and think you're either an idiot or being deliberately provocative



?
几乎
50%
的北爱尔兰人真的真的会介意 ，认为你要么是白痴，要么是故意
挑衅




So
it's
not
a
great
strategy.
Use
“British”
if
you
have
to
use
only
one
word.
For
Northern
Ireland,
I'd
always
say
“Northern
Irish”
though
this
has
the
potential
to
annoy
some
unionists/loyalists.
Better
to
take
that risk than to say “British” to nationalists/republicans though.




所以这么说并不合适。
如果只能说 一个词就说“英国人”。
对于北爱尔兰人，
我总会叫他们“北爱尔兰人”，
虽然这有可 能会惹恼某些联合主义者或反对独立
的人，但冒这个险也要比对民族独立主义者或共和主义者说“英国人 ”要好。

I am British, and born in England. If people call me English and
referring to me as being born in England, but if they are referring to
my
nationality,
it
annoys
me.
I
am
British,
and
have
British
citizenship.
The Queen is the Queen of the United Kingdom, but can, informally, be
called the British Queen. People who call her the Queen of England are
uneducated,
as
there
has
not
been
an
English
Queen
since
the
Act
of
Union
in 1707.



我是英国人，出生在英格兰。
如果人们叫我“英格兰人”指的是我出生在英
格兰可以，但如果指的是我的 国籍我就会生气。我是英国人，拥有英国国籍。女
王是联合国的女王，
在非正式用法中可以被称 为“英国女王”。
叫她“英格兰女
王”的人都没文化，因为自从
1707
年通 过《联合法案》之后就再没有“英格兰
女王”了。




The
problem
stems
from
a
lack
of
understanding
between
the
differences
of the United Kingdom, Great Britain, England, Scotland, Wales, and
Northern Ireland. It doesn’t help that we have four separate teams in
both Foot
ball and Rugby. People aren’t taught the difference at school
abroad and maybe they should be.



这个问题源于对“联合王国”、“大不列颠”、“英格兰”、“苏格兰”、
“威尔士”和“北爱尔兰”这些名称之间的区别缺乏了解。
我们的足球和橄榄球
都有
4
个独立球队也没能帮大家理解。
国外的学校不教这些区别，
其实可能应该
教 。

Depends which
of the
four
countries they're from.
If you refer to an
English person as being from England, then no. However, if they're from
Scotland,
Wales
or
Northern
Ireland,
they
will
be
most
definitely
annoyed.
The name UK is more of a political umbrella term that covers all four
countries,
but
the
individual
country
names
represent
history
and
culture.
Any citizen can be referred to as from the UK, but to be honest they'd
probably
prefer
being
referred
to
as
from
England,
Scotland,
Wales
or
N.
Ireland.
If
they
have
an
obvious
recognisable
accent,
use
one
of
the
four
to
describe
them.
If
they
don't,
stay
safe
and
say
U.K.
or
British.
They'll
probably
tell
you
where
they're
from,
and
then
you
say
English,
Scottish,
Welsh or N. Irish. But never refer to someone who is definitely from
Scotland, Wales or N. Ireland as from England, cause you'll come across
as ignorant and offend them.



这取决于来自
4
个国家 中的哪一个。
如果你说英格兰人来自英格兰，
他们不
生气。
然而如果来自苏格 兰、
威尔士或北爱尔兰那绝对会生气。
“联合王国”这
个名字更像是一个政治全称，< br>涵盖了
4
个国家，
但每个国家的名字都代表了各自
