一位美国青少年在推特上发贴列举“怪异”的英国习俗，被大肆转发，点燃了一场网络口水大战。

　　High school student Madi, 16, found herself at the centre of a backlash after she launched into a Twittertirade on Monday, and now angry Brits have fought back with a #WeirdThingsAmericansDo hashtag detailing their gripes about their neighbours across the pond. And they certainly pulled no punches, criticising everything from their coffee to the way they pronounce 'aluminium'.

　　16岁的高中生玛蒂星期一在推特上发了一篇激愤的长贴，随后就发现自己成了大家攻击的焦点。现在愤怒的英国人已经反击，用推特标签“#美国人的怪异行为”尽数自己对大洋彼岸邻居的种种怨言。他们自然会展开不遗余力的痛批，从美国人的咖啡到“aluminium”(铝)的美式发音。

　　 英美文化撕逼战

　　Many tweeted her directly, using her Twitter handle @touradidas. Nerys Watkin-Mayer asked: 'why do Americans not pronounce the H in Herbs?' and Janine Lowthian wrote: 'why don't you place a question mark at the end of all your questions?' Another wrote: 'ordering a large Coke even although you have free refills…' While Harry Hardy blasted that Americans don't 'get that they are one of the only countries that do things like they do.

　　许多人直接用她的推特用户名@touradidas给她发消息。内莉斯·沃特金-梅耶问道：“为什么美国人在读Herbs(草药)这个词时H不发音?”另一位推特用户写道：“尽管美国人知道可以免费续杯，但还是会点大杯可乐……”而哈利·哈代则叫嚣美国人“不知道他们是全世界唯一这样做事的国家。”

　　英美文化撕逼战

　　Aaron Carl Jones accused Americans of insisting 'that the ENGLISH way of speaking the ENGLISH language is wrong,' while a fellow Tweeter called out their use of Fahrenheit rather than Celsius.One called out their use of brown paper shopping bags, while another pondered their use of the word 'soccer' for football.

　　艾伦·卡尔·琼斯指责美国人坚持认为“英语的英式发音是错的”，还有一位推特用户喊话“美国人竟然用华氏温度，不用摄氏温度。”有人嘲笑他们用棕色纸袋作购物袋，还有人抨击他们用“soccer”(英式足球)这个词来指代football(美国俚语中指橄榄球)。

African-American abolitionist and humanitarian Harriet Tubman, who led hundreds of slaves to freedom, will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.

　　非洲裔美国女性哈里特·塔布曼将出现在新的20元纸币上，代替安德鲁·杰克逊总统。

双语：美国20元纸币将印上黑人女性头像

　　U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew confirmed Wednesday that Tubman will be the first African-American featured on U.S. currency, and the first woman on paper currency in more than 100 years. He did not indicate when the new bill would be in circulation.

　　美国财政部长雅各布·卢星期三宣布，塔布曼将成为第一位头像印在在美国货币上的非洲裔美国人，她也是100多年来首位出现在美国纸币上的女性。

　　Lew originally announced his intention to put a woman on the $10 bill last June, but has since faced pressure from various groups and individuals to rethink the $20.

　　非洲裔美国女性哈里特·塔布曼因带领数百名奴隶通向自由而受到赞誉。她的头像将替代前总统安德鲁·杰克逊的头像被印在美国新的20元纸币上。

　　Andrew Jackson, the former president featured on the $20 bill, was responsible for the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which started what was known as the Trail of Tears — a forced migration on which thousands of Native Americans died.

　　目前20元纸币上印着的是前总统杰克逊的头像。杰克逊总统蓄奴，而他签署的1830年印第安人迁移法导致印第安人被迫开始西迁的“血泪之路”，他们中的数千人在这个过程中死亡。

　　Tubman grew up a slave in Maryland. Born Araminta Ross in 1822, most historians believe she was taken from her parents and put to work when she was barely 6 years old. A brutal beating at the age of 12 caused her to suffer from seizures the rest of her life. She was a devout Christian and experienced visions and vivid dreams, which she ascribed to premonitions from God.

　　As a young woman, she married John Tubman. She escaped with the help of a whiteneighbor, who gave her the names of people who would hide her during her travels north.

　　Harriet Tubman returned to Maryland for members of her family and other slaves, making the trip about 20 times to lead more people to freedom. They traveled at night along backroads and waterways, and historians say Tubman would pull a gun on anyone who threatened to back out.

　　But Tubman will not be the only woman pictured on U.S. paper currency.

　　The $10 bill will be redesigned and released in 2020. The first U.S. treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton, will remain on the front, but the back will include members of the women's suffrage movement, treasury officials said.

　　The back of the $5 note will have an image of singer Marian Anderson and former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
