.00]The English Character
[00:08.96]To other Europeans, the best knownqualityofthe British,
[00:14.50]and in particular of the English, is“reserved”.
[00:18.09]A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers,
[00:23.58]does not show much emotion, and seldom getsexcited.
[00:27.80]It is difficult to get to know a reserved person:
[00:31.87]he never tells you anything abouthimself,
[00:34.49]and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives,
[00:39.64]how many children he has, and what his interests are.
[00:43.47]English people tend to be like that.
[00:47.08]Closely related to English reserve is English modesty.
[00:52.87]Within their hearts, the Englishare perhapsnolessconceitedthananybodyelse,
[00:59.11]but in their relations with others theyvalueatleasta showofmodesty.
[01:04.25]Self－praise is felt to be impolite.
[01:08.18]If a person is, let us say,
[01:11.25]very good at tennis and someoneaskshim ifheisa goodplayer,
[01:15.51]he will seldom reply “Yes,”
[01:18.47]because people will think him conceited.
[01:21.42]He will probably give an answer like,
[01:24.10]“I’m not bad,” or “I think I’m very good,” or “Well, I’m very keen on tennis.”
[01:31.34]Even if he had managed to reach the finals in last year’s local championships,
[01:38.20]he would say it in such a way as to suggest that it was only due to a piece of good luck.
[01:43.93]Since reserve and modesty are part of his own nature,
[01:48.54]the typical English tends to expect theminothers.
[01:52.57]He secretly looks down on more excitable nations,
[01:56.50]and likes to think of himself as more reliable than they are.
[02:00.51]He doesn’t trust big promises and open shows of feelings,
[02:04.88]especially if they are expressed in flowery language.
[02:09.15]He doesn’t trust self－praise of any kind.
[02:13.00]This applies not only to what other people may tell him about themselves orally,
[02:18.98]but to the letters they may writetohim.
[02:21.83]To those who are fond of floweryexpressions,
[02:25.40]the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold.
