For new countries joining the European Union,and the older ones getting used to their burgundy passports, becoming "Europeans" is a bit like marrying into a large, eccentric (古怪的) family. Europeans have a lot in common, but it is their differences,not their similarities,which attract the attention of sociologists(社会学家)and market researchers, that are more interesting.

35% of Germans live alone;but only 9% of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.

The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it can't just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were,they might be up at the top with Spain!

The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.

The Dutch and Germans are the greatest caravanners(活动房居住者),but the Germans like big?ger beds in their caravans.

The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border,play fewest sports.

The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well,of course they do; it's colder.  

Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards.

The French are the champion public transport commuters(用月票者)of Europe. If you hate commuting,go and live in the Netherlands,where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.

The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedish. Sharing a lift is torture (折磨)for both the British and the Swedish.

No European countries really agree with any other about how to make good coffee. All of them are different.

There are exceptions to all these rules. My 8-year-old daughter thinks,"If you don't understand
each other's language, you just laugh a lot,and eat,and point at things."
