看看林语堂是怎么形容北方人的~
吾国与吾民(上下中英双语独家珍藏版) - Review
For on the one hand we have the northern Chinese, acclimatized to simple thinking and hard living, tall and stalwart, hale, hearty and humorous, onion-eating and fun- loving, children of nature, who are in every way more Mongolic and more conservative than the conglomeration of peoples near Shanghai and who suggest nothing of their loss of racial vigor.
思维简单,生活困难,还连用四个词形容身体结实粗壮我实在没搞明白onion-eating是个什么鬼,喜欢吃洋葱??哈哈哈!
