导语:每一个国家都有不同的语言习俗,你知道有什么是不能说的吗?下面小编就来告诉你出国旅游不能乱说的21个单词。

France

法国

Preservative:Avoid asking about preservatives in France; you’ll probably be met with strange looks. It means ‘condom’ in France.

Preservative:在法国不要询问preservatives(防腐剂);别人会用奇怪的眼神看你。它在法语里的意思是“避孕套”。

French Letter: Don’t say french letter unlike in other nations of the world, it simply means a condom in France.

French Letter:不像在世界其他国家,在法国不要说french letter(法国的信)这个词,在法语中这个词就是“避孕套”的意思。

Bra: Do you sell luxury underwear? Whilst you and I might initially understand the word to mean a garment that covers the breasts, if you’re in France your French colleagues might think you’re selling arms. Literal

Bra:你是卖奢侈内衣的吗?你我都首先把这个单词理解为“覆盖在胸部的衣服”,但是如果你在法国,那里的同行会以为你在卖武器,字面上是这个意思。

Norway

挪威

Pick: If you’re visiting Norway, don’t use the word ‘pick’. Your Norwegian colleague is unlikely to be impressed – it means ‘dick’ over there.

Pick:如果你去挪威,不要用pick(挑选)这个词,挪威的同事不会对你有好的印象——在挪威它的意思是“男性生殖器”。

Fitter: Does your business specialise in fitness products? Be mindful that in Norway, the word ‘fitter’ refers to a woman’s genitals.

Fitter:你们公司专门经营健身产品?那在挪威你要注意了,fitter(更健康)指的是女人的生殖器。

Turkey

土耳其

Peach: Going to Turkey? Avoid asking for a peach in the supermarket or anywhere else for that matter. It means ‘bastard’ in Turkish.

Peach:要去土耳其?在超市不能索要peach(桃子),在任何其他地方也不能提到这个词,它在土耳其的意思是“私生子”。

Germany

德国

Gift: ‘Never look a gift horse in the mouth’, we’re told; perhaps more so in Germany where the word means ‘poison’.

Gift:我们都被教育“馈赠之物,切莫挑剔”;可能在德国更是这样,在那儿,这个单词的意思是“毒药”。

Latte: In Germany, latte doesn’t mean the frothy, milky concoction you get from your local Starbucks. It means ‘erect penis’ in some German quarters.

Latte:在德国,latte(拿铁)不是指你从当地星巴克买到的泡沫多的、含牛奶的混合物,而是在一些地区指“勃起”。

Korea

韩国

Salsa: Out for a Mexican in Korea? It’s probably best not to ask for salsa: it means ‘diarrhoea’ in Korean.

Salsa:在韩国想追求一个墨西哥人?最好不要请她跳salsa(萨尔萨舞),它在韩语中的意思是“腹泻”。
