Don't confuse New Zealanders with Aussies: "We don't like it!"
不要分不清新西兰人和澳大利亚人:“我们不喜欢这样!”


Don't expect to see Kiwi birds: "They are almost extinct. Irony!"
别奢望看到基维鸟(新西兰的国鸟):“它们几乎灭绝了,讽刺吧?”


Don't make fun of rugby, Lord of the Rings, or the Queen of England: "All Blacks is a rugby team and probably a religion. Haka is a war-cry performed before a war or, nowadays, a rugby match. Do not make fun of it!"
不要取笑橄榄球、《指环王》或英国女王。“全黑队是一支橄榄球队乃至一种信仰,哈卡战舞是在橄榄球比赛前表演的舞蹈。千万不要拿这些开玩笑!”


"Kiwis are proud of Lord Of the Rings!"
“《指环王》是新西兰人的骄傲!”


"The Queen of England is still a big deal here! We still celebrate her birthday and swear allegiance to her."
“英国女王在新西兰仍然很受尊敬。我们仍在庆祝女王生日并向女王宣誓效忠。”


Don't freak out about people not wearing shoes: "It's perfectly normal to go about in public places without footwear, and in some cases a shirt."
看到有人光脚,请别大惊小怪:“公共场所不穿鞋甚至不穿上衣在这里很正常。”
