问题描述:

one of the big excuses for not learning languages in Britaint is that when you try them out abroad,
the person you are speaking to responds in perfect English,making you feel about two feet about ---or should that be 36cm
请给出译文
不好意思,后半句是making you feel about two feet tall---or should that be 36 cm?

britaint? 是不是Britain?英国
在英国,不学习语言的最大的理由之一就是当你尝试让他们去海外, 他和当地人说话时对方的回答是使用完美的英语,使得你觉得有两英寸那么高,或许应该说是36厘米?
这句话语义不通啊后面的
我找到了这个原题了,其实就是说现在英语很普及嘛,所以他们都不太需要学习别国语言就可以轻松出国了,后面那句应该是一种反讽的用法吧~~因为后文提到谈判时还是要会当地语言比较好
希望对你有帮助哦~
