英國人好好笑喔!!!
節錄一切經典片段！
It’s an extremely large earthquake in UK terms but not large in world terms; we’d classify it only as a light earthquake.
--可是英國整個大驚小怪起來了
My whole house shook like it was going to fall over and it felt as if the whole roof was coming off. I thought a tree had been thrown into the roof by a tornado or something. Everyone in Scunthorpe is out on the streets now talking about it.
--沒看過台灣921地震嗎?李前總統視察現場才會造成大樹倒塌壓死人啦!免驚!
Joanna O’Donoghue, 21, a student living in Leicester, said she was “absolutely petrified” when her block of flats began shaking around her.“The front of my chest of drawers fell out and my candles fell on the floor and broke. I thought it was a ghost."
--最經典，原來是鬧鬼了！
