编辑1：哇奥！！我在去上班之前发了这个帖子，午休时间一看竟然跑到首页去了！！现在我知道雪花般的信件是什么意思了！感谢每一个人！这是我第一次到首页，你们这些家伙太棒了！

EDIT2:Thanks as well to those of you that pointed out my incorrectly using the word 'countries', the correct spelling is, of course, 'countrys'. Apologies. My only excuse is that I was still half asleep. Thanks again everyone!

编辑2：也感谢那些指出我“国家”拼错了的人，现在我已经改正了，很抱歉。我唯一的借口是当时我仍然半睡半醒。再次感谢大家！

We understand man, your prince has fallen on some hard times apparently.

兄弟我们理解，据说你们的王子陷入了困境，有一些艰难的时刻。

Our president who has a cure for AIDS. I feel genuinely pitiful for any international committee that has to host his intellect.

我们的总统已经有了治疗艾滋病的方法。我真为任何不使用他的才华的国际委员会感到可怜。

Literally Hitler.

希特勒

roflsnlulz
Thanks Austria. Nice place otherwise.

感谢奥地利，否则那是会一个好地方。

WhyAmINotStudying
At least you also gave us Mozart.

至少你还给了我们莫扎特啊。

Insanelopez
And Arnold Schwarzenegger. Come on, let's not forget the really important stuff.

还有阿诺施瓦辛格。得了吧，让我们不要忘记真正重要的东西。

Timothy_Claypole
According the the Internet, there are loads of people in discussion forums worse than Hitler.

通过互联网，在各种讨论论坛里有比希特勒还糟的多的人。

The only thing Sweden has ever done for philosophy is killing Descartes

瑞典唯一对哲学所做的一点微小的贡献就是干掉了笛卡尔。

Sorry Congo :(

刚果，对不起 :(

A lot of people don't realize just how bad the Belgian Congo was.
Oh you're too sick to work? I'll cut off your hand to motivate you! Or you can't work cause you're missing your hand? We'll then we'll just burn down your entire village.

很多人都没有意识到比属刚果有多糟。
哦，你病得不能工作了？我会砍掉你的手来刺激你！或者你因为没有手干不了活？我们将会烧掉你们整个村庄。

MrRandomSuperhero
Belgian schools make it very clear these days.

近些年来，比利时的学校对此的教育非、常、详、细。

way2lazy2care
"Remember to only cut off one hand children, as cutting off both hands sees a near 100% drop in productivity."

“记住，只能砍掉孩子的一只手，如果两只手都砍掉那生产力会下降100%。”

nichiatu
I can see this being made into math problems.
"If you cut off 2.5 fingers, and the lazy bum has only 8 fingers from before, how many percent of productivity can the lazy bum output?"

我可以把这看作是一道数学应用题。
“如果一个懒惰的流浪汉之前只有8根手指，然后你切去了2.5根，这个懒汉能输出百分之几的生产力？”

Prestian
It really depends on your teacher or school though.
A teacher at my secundary school even complained about how "we pumped money in Congo for over 100 years and it's still a mess". Wtf.

不过这真的取决于你的老师和学校。
我一个中学的老师甚至抱怨“我们在刚果投资超过了100年，结果它之间仍是个烂摊子”。WTF。

MrRandomSuperhero
Oh my. That sounds like an issue with the person more than general education though.

我去，不过这听起来更像是个人问题而不是普遍教育。

navel_fluff
I graduated in 08, the colonial era was only very summarily taught and the government supported assassination of Lumumba completely ignored.

我在08年毕业，殖民时代的事情教得很简略，而对于政府支持暗杀卢蒙巴这件事则完全被忽视了。

JoXand
I'd say a governmental video on how to be friends.
Ladies and gentlemen of Reddit, Singapore!

我必须说是政府这个“如何交朋友”的视频。

crasyeyez
Damn, I was planning to go to Singapore and hopefully make some friends, but I don't have any kids.

该死，我正准备去新加坡并结交一些朋友，但我没有任何孩子。

Normal_Red_Sky
Nice video. But is it really an issue there? Is it that Singaporian culture is particularly insular or is it that people are wary of foreigners?

很好的视频。但那里真的有这个问题吗？是新加坡人都是狭隘的还是新加坡人对外国人都很提防？

[deleted]
I think that most people are foreigners and everybody works really a lot.
So social time is pretty lackluster.
I have friends who worked long time in Singapore and they told me that they would rather work 14 hours for 2 weeks and then take an entire week off to Malaysia, India, Japan, South East Asia rather than have a normal life in Singapore.

我认为那里大部分都是外国人，并且每个人都有一堆工作要做。
所以社交时间是很少的。
我有些在新加坡工作了很久的朋友，他们宁愿每天工作14个小时连续干两个星期，然后用一个星期去马来西亚，印度，日本，东南亚，也不想在新加坡过那种平淡的生活。

RedEyedWarrior
Magdalene laundries. Many woman in Ireland from the 18th to the 20th century were forced into those asylums just because they lost their virginity, where they were abused and treated like shit. The last one was not closed until 1996, and the state did not apologise until 2013.
That, or the child abuse scandals in Catholic institutions in our country.

“马格达林洗衣店”。十八到第二十世纪，许多爱尔兰的女性都被强迫放到那些收容所，只是因为他们失去了自己的贞操，在收容所里她们被虐待得很惨。直到1996年最后一个收容所才关闭，直到2013年国家才为此道歉。
（尴尬的贡献就是）这个，或者我们国家里的天主教机构的虐待儿童丑闻。

briosca
Not to forget the symphysiotomies! Essentially, 1,500 women had their pelvises broken during childbirth without their knowledge or consent because it was believed to aid future childbirth.

别忘了这个symphysiotomies（骨盆切开术）！基本上，有1500名妇女在分娩的时候，在不知情或者没有同意的情况下她们的骨盆被切开了，因为它被认为有助于未来的分娩。

blas3nik
Holy shite, that's dark.

卧槽，这太黑暗了。

skip-skip-vomit
Some were just committed for being "flirty" too. This, and the fact that homosexuality was illegal for another year after the last laundry closed are what I'm most embarrassed about

除了那些收容所之外，还有一些人致力于变得“轻浮”，以及同性恋在爱尔兰是非法的，这些都让我尴尬。

republican_nipples
Yep, and many were victims of rape.
And lets not forget the hundreds of bodies of babies found in a septic tank in Tuam. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't the only incident of a mass cover up in the form of unmarked graves within the country.

是的，还有许多被强奸的受害者。
以及别忘了这个“在蒂厄姆的一个化粪池发现了数百具婴儿尸体”。如果这个国家还存在像这样的被大规模掩盖的无名坟墓，我也不会感到惊讶。

littlewrenbird
My old college use to be a Magdalene Laundries, when women die there they ended up in a mass grave.

我以前的大学曾经就是一个旧的“马格达林洗衣店”，在那里，当妇女死后，她们都被埋在一个集体坟墓里。

Estonia says quietly: we came second in alcohol consumption in Europe

Sorry, everyone who isn't Spanish for the Inquisition. And slavery in South America. And taxes. And flu. And all the women raped. And all the cultures destroyed. And all the gold taken away.
But we gave you siesta so get over it.

对所有受到宗教裁判所审批的非西班牙人感到抱歉。还有南美洲的奴隶、税收、所有被强奸的女性、所有被破坏的文化、以及拿走了你们所以的黄金，很抱歉。

Kunning-Druger
The inquisition? I didn't expect that...

宗教裁判所？我没有想到这个......

South African here. Freddy Mercury got HIV here. So I guess you can say my country killed Queen.

南非的在这里。佛瑞迪莫库瑞在这里得了艾滋病，所以我猜你们会说是我们的国家毁了皇后乐队。

We popularized selfie sticks. S. Korea.
Sorry...

我们推广了自拍棒——韩国
很抱歉...

Habitual_Emigrant 
So the worst you have is the selfie stick? ...do you guys accept immigrants?

所以你认为你们“最糟”的就是自拍棒？... ...兄弟你们接受移民吗？

Asterix1806
No, the most embarrassing thing is selfie sticks.
The worst thing to come out of South Korea would be Starcrafters dying after 48 hours straight of gaming.

不。“最尴尬”的事是自拍棒。
韩国最糟糕的事是在玩了48个小时的星际争霸之后就死了。

thorshairbrush
Selfie sticks are probably the least weird thing to EVER come from an Asian country.

自拍棒可能是来自亚洲国家最不奇怪的东西了。
