字神帝國英語天地

🔨 足球上有句話叫做：永遠不要高估英格蘭，也永遠不要低估義大利，而從脫歐投票來說，人們高估了英國民眾的智商。
例如：公投結束後的數小時，英國人民開始思考一個問題：什麼是歐盟？
據Google Search資料顯示，英國脫歐公投後，英國線民在Google上搜索最熱的五個問題，分別是:
1、退歐意味著什麼? 
2、什麼是歐盟? 
3、歐盟有哪些成員國? 
4、退歐後會發生什麼? 
5、歐盟有多少個成員國?
看到這個資料後，估計卡梅倫正在默默的計算自己的心裡陰影面積。
　　
🔨 不少英國民眾一覺醒來發現真的玩脫了，紛紛表示後悔……

講真，我有點被驚到了。沒想到我們真的脫歐了，我以為這不可能發生。

🔨 據BBC報導，曼徹斯特那些投票脫歐的小夥伴們，很多人一覺醒來後想的是“我都幹了什麼？”，他們並不是真的希望英國脫歐。
也有很多人對此表示無語和指責：
Many people who voted leave saw this as a protest vote. And it wasn't, I'm afraid. It was a decision vote. ——英國前首相布雷爾
很多投票脫歐的人以為只是抗議抗議，但恐怕不是這樣。這是決定性的投票。
How can you possibly treat such an important vote so flippantly as to regret it just hours later? — Kate McCann
怎麼可以這麼輕率地對待如此重要的投票？投完幾個小時就後悔？

投票脫歐，現在又“後悔”，因為之前覺得“不會發生這種事”的人，以後應該被取消投票資格……
Don’t come to me with ‘I regret my vote’. You’re a grown human being that treated democracy like a game - live with your consequences. — Jamal
別再說什麼“我後悔了”。你是個成年人，拿民主當兒戲，自作自受吧。
　　
🔨 英國人還造了個新詞
Regrexit = regret + exit
我後悔了
