俄國(guó)人真的把熊當(dāng)成寵物嗎?他們?cè)诒镉斡?他們還彈奏三弦琴,從不對(duì)外國(guó)人笑?下面你能學(xué)到關(guān)于俄羅斯這個(gè)奇怪國(guó)家的一些新東西。
1. Until 2011 in Russia, any drink that was under 10% alcohol was not considered an alcoholic beverage, just a regular drink.
2011年之前,酒精含量10%以下的飲料在俄羅斯不算酒,只算常規(guī)飲料。
小編注:青島純生啤酒(此處絕無(wú)廣告嫌疑)的度數(shù)在8-10度,所以對(duì)于戰(zhàn)斗民族來(lái)說(shuō),那就是水啊!
2. A Russian man once drank three bottles of vodka, then jumped out of a 5 story window, walked back up, and jumped again.
有個(gè)俄國(guó)男人喝了三瓶伏特加,從五樓窗戶跳下,爬起來(lái)上樓,再跳一遍。

小編注:學(xué)俄語(yǔ)時(shí)間到:запой(Zapoi)!據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì),20%的俄羅斯男人都有這毛病。
4. In Soviet Russia, prisoners would get tattoos of Lenin and Stalin, because guards weren’t allowed to shoot at images of national leaders.
在蘇聯(lián)時(shí)期,囚犯?jìng)兗y上列寧和斯大林的紋身。因?yàn)樾l(wèi)兵不能對(duì)國(guó)家領(lǐng)袖的圖像開槍。
小編注:關(guān)于蘇聯(lián)時(shí)期囚犯的紋身,復(fù)雜的都能寫本書了。他們通常把列寧或斯大林的頭像紋在胸口。此外,特殊的符號(hào)還有特殊的含義,例如太陽(yáng)的光線代表服刑年數(shù),骷髏頭代表殺人犯,紋在肚子上的眼睛代表犯人是個(gè)gay。
5. Russia is the same size as Pluto. In fact Pluto is even a bit smaller with its surface area of roughly 16,650,000 square kilometers.
