剛剛在The Times的線上新聞看到這則報導正好底下有英國鄉民第一手的回應茲抄錄幾則以娛板眾這則新聞即前陣子，索馬利亞海盜誤挑上一艘法國軍艦踢到鐵板 The Times的標題及內容也頗中規中矩： "Pirates choose wrong target - a French warship" 精彩的是下面網友的回應 - Sarath Palety wrote: Perhaps the pirates thought that the French warship would surrender? (譯：大概海盜認為法國佬會投降?) - Alex Morris wrote: Harry Key What's stupid about commenting on the surrender prospects of a vessel that originates from a country with form for surrendering when they really didn't need to? (譯：對Harry Key的回應 -- 對於一艘來自一個隨便投降的國家的船艦，說他們搞不好會投降有錯嗎?) - Sam C wrote: It was not an unreasonable assumption on the part of the Somali pirates that a French naval vessel would run up the white flag. The only surprising thing about this story is that they did not, perhaps the pirates just got there first (譯：猜測法國船會昇白旗繞跑一點都不會不合理，這條新聞最令人驚訝的是，法國佬並沒這麼作) 然後有個稍微有良知的「正義之士」唱反調了... - Dan Spencer wrote: Thats a stupid thing to say. The French were for long periods the most powerful country in Europe. The only two times they have surrendered were in 1871 and 1940, on both occasions they were clearly defeated. If it wasn't for our good fortune on living on an island we would have been conquered many times by our continental enemies. Besides the French have shown considerably more backbone in dealing with these pirates than our own navy has. I have an MA in History btw. (譯：你們這麼說很蠢。法國長期以來都是歐陸強權。唯一兩次投降是在1871及 1940年，那兩次他們是真的被完全擊敗了。如果不是我們好運活在一個島上，我們早被歐陸的敵人踏平好幾次了。更何況我覺得在處理那些海盜問題方面，法國人比我們的海軍還有骨氣多了。我可是有一個歷史碩士學位的。) 然後這位老兄就被其他鄉民同胞圍剿了。例如： - John Julius wrote: Dan Spencer, France has a very poor military history. Even the French themslves admit it - I remember a French historian in a documentary saying, in sum, that the French don't 'do' war - they specialise in other things. And it's true - the French are far superior to us in certain ways, but to suggest they are our equal on the battlefield is plain loopy. Almost as loopy as saying a couple of miles of water are they only reason we havn't been invaded for almost 1000 years. Only Napoleon achieved any sort of success, and he was soon given short shrift on land and sea by you know who. (譯：法國人自己都承認自己的軍事史乏善可陳 -- 我記得有個法國歷史學家說過，法國人並不「打」仗 -- 他們有別的事更擅長。不過你要說法國佬在某些方面遠勝我們也沒錯，但說他們在戰場上與我們平分秋色那就大錯特錯了。就跟說我們僅靠那幾哩寬的海水才維持近千年免於被侵略一樣愚蠢。法國佬只有拿破崙才有點搞頭，而且你知道他很快就是被誰從海上及陸上打敗的。) 我終於印證前幾天我的法國鄰居跟我的對話：我：I heard of that your French foods are delicious. 鄰居：That's why they British hate us. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 129.12.130.137
