Germans may make great cars, brew delicious beer, and give the world amazing fashion models, but they still feel unloved and unwanted.
Sixty years after the Second World War, Germans find themselves still disliked across Europe. They feel that they are taking blame personally for two world wars or for rude behavior by German tourists, or they sense they are envied because of their country’s prosperity.
The latest round of introspection(反省) emerged after a blind German singer, who had been tipped as a favorite to win last month’s Eurovision song contest, ended up a disappointing 21st in a field of 25.
"was it just the song or was it because people in other countries just don’t like us? " asked Bild newspaper columnist David Blieswood,, expressing the nationwide distress.
(76)
Germany’s best-selling daily was filled the following week with letters from readers complaining that Germans will never win contests like Eurovision because they are so loathed abroad.
Germans made a huge effort to improve their position and put the image of dangerously belligerent(好战的) armies behind them. But, in spite of that, Germans regularly get disliked across Europe.
"The stereotypes of Germans are treated the way they behave. Some are indeed very arrogant," said Lutz Erbring, a professor for media studies at Berlin’s free University." But stereotypes are often badly outdated. Germans are considered to be hard-working, in reality Germans are the laziest people in Europe."
The British newspaper the Guardian recently cited a Europe-wide survey which asked people to score each country out of 10 according to how much respect and love they had each other. (77)
Germans came in second to last, just ahead of the British. The Irish were ranked as the most popular.
The word "loath"(line. 11) means ______
选项
A、disgust
B、swear
C、debt
D、burden
答案
A
解析
由上下文可看出,德国人普遍认为其它欧洲人不喜欢他们,disgust是“使人厌恶,招人反感”,故选A。
