栖迟一杯酒

You own your own meat cleaver and sharpen it.你有自己的切肉刀而且你会磨它。

“如果你是刀友,那么你身上的体毛比大多数女人少.”
这是什么忆昔？？？笑话我们刀友爱刮毛？？？

只是一些东西方生活习惯的不同，没啥奇怪的。

43：You don"t own any real Tupperware-only a cupboard full of used but carefully rinsed margarine tubs,takeout containers,and jam jars. 你没有任何真正的特百惠（言下之意就是只用山寨的），只有一橱柜使用过的但仔细洗刷的人造黄油桶，饭盒和酱坛子。（中国人厨房对瓶瓶罐罐的似乎真的有收藏癖，或者说不舍得扔）
55.If you are male,you clap at something funny and if you are female,you giggle whilst placing a hand over your mouth. 如果你是男性，你会对好玩的事物鼓掌，如果你是女性，你傻笑，同时把一只手捂住嘴。（这几百年，中国女子的教育是淑庄典雅，含蓄端庄。大户人家的女眷连外人都不见的。）
75.Your parents know how to launch nasal projectiles.这条直译不难，意译不知道说的是：你的父母知道怎么擤鼻涕。  你的父母知道怎样弹鼻屎。

里面有些信息已经过时了。
6.Your house is covered with tile.你的房子铺的是瓷砖(老外都是木板) （现在的新楼盘，北方我不清楚，广东很高比例的都是木地板，有时候为了打理容易，客厅厨房大理石瓷砖，但是卧室还是木地板）
28.You unwrap Christmas gifts very carefully,so you can reuse the *****.你细心地打开你的圣诞节礼物,因为你要留着包装纸再用.（10年前的旧闻了吧）
29.You only buy Christmas cards after Christmas,when they are 50%off.你只会在圣诞节后买圣诞卡,因为他们打了五折.（除了学生为明年屯卡，否则没有这样的行为吧。还有可能老外没理解，中国的圣诞卡，也可以用作新年卡：happy new year！）
36.You eat all meals in the kitchen.你在厨房吃饭. （现在的新楼盘，基本都会把饭厅和客厅做功能衔接）
37.You save grocery bags,tin foil,and tin containers.你把用过的塑料袋,锡纸和锡盘留着. （我见得最多的是，一次性物品到处乱扔）
54.You only make long distance calls after 11pm.你只在11点后打长途.（这两年还有优惠时段的概念吗？反正我所在的城市已经没有了）

另外点评几条：
2.You like to eat chicken feet.你喜欢吃鸡脚 (应该翻译成鸡爪，因为这个外国人不懂得怎样啃)
23.Most girls have more body hair than you,if you are male.如果你是男人,那么你身上的体毛比大多数女人少.
53.You always look phone numbers up in the phone book,since calling information(*69)costs 50cents.你总是在电话簿里找电话号码,因为咨询电话费用为五角. （中国人重名重性太多，公司名称也与经营范围毫无关系，114咨询除了大型公共设施或者饭馆，没有靠谱的。而绝不是怕咨询电话费要花费，从上古困难时期开始都是不怕花这咨询费的，先装电话的都是公司或者有钱人）
72.Your toothpas tetubes are all squeezed *****-thin.你的牙膏都挤到纸一样薄. （勤俭节约确实是中华民族的传统美德。以上有很多条收藏瓶罐的我觉得也是。）
78.Even if you"re totally full,if someone says they"re going to throw away the leftovers on the table,you"ll finish them.即使你饱了,当别人要把剩下的菜倒掉时你会一嘴把它吃完.(........really?.......) 有什么好really的，中国饮食文化，在外请客吃宴，每个盘子里都要剩一点，以示主请人饭菜丰盛，吃不完。除非主请人主动将盘子里最后一块夹给最重要的客人或者老者、幼儿，体现了中国尊老爱幼等美德。自家吃饭，尽可能盘中餐粒粒皆辛苦。特别是老一辈人，看着要倒了，尽可能的吃完不浪费。现在的商宴、官宴、情侣初次见面饭，只是一种暴发户心理的显摆而已。
84.You don"t tip more than 10%at a restaurant,and if you do,you tip Chinese delivery guys/waiters more.你不会给超过10%的小费,即使有也是给中国服务员.（这个，国内到现在为止，除了个别娱乐场所的厕所，我还真不知道什么地方会有国人主动给小费的）
86.You eat every last grain of rice in your bowl,but don"t eat the last piece of food on the table.你吃光碗里的最后一粒米,但不吃盘里的最后一口菜. 解释同78，大家不要把这个话题以为是说中国人浪费，其实是外国人不懂得中国年年有余，主人家菜品丰富的汉文化。饭是乘给自己的，不吃完就是浪费。菜是公用食用的，有剩说明丰富有余。
87.You know why there are 88reasons.你知道为什么这里有88条. （因为中国人喜欢88,88岁了男御女，女衔棍，88岁了一个太极推手能让你腾云驾雾，88岁了还能娶28岁美女。哪像你们外国人，88岁了奶头掉在热咖啡里面才觉得温暖）

老外是看不到我们优秀的地方的

正解,情人眼里出狮子么

leno

感觉内容好陈旧了，现在我认识的中国人和美国人都在发出变化

很多中国人开始真正的自信、强大起来

很多美国人开始暴露土鳖、愚笨的一面

哈哈哈，翻译的还好，挺有意思的，：））））

这些都是优秀的东西啊，华族的特点而已。虽然有些已经逐渐的不再保持了。不过就那些吸鱼头，吃鸡脚之类的事，确实是华族比较特有的东西，我昨天还被老婆强迫吸了一个鱼头。。。

这个看起来比较靠谱，估计是老外从中国室友身上总结出来的

真心少吃鱼头，家里搞养殖我知道，鸡头鱼头都不要吃，其实往大了说动物的头最好都不要吃
