house, or is registered for one of the public bunkers under the school
building, for emergency situations... by the way, here's a fun thing to do:
invite over some of your foreign friends (Americans make very good
candidates) and take a picture of the look on their face when they SEE the
bunker. Priceless!
家家戶戶都有防空洞,而家裡沒防空洞的人也都有在學校的公共防空洞登記避難名單,
這對你而言是正常現象;另外,邀請外國朋友,尤其是美國人,來參觀你家的防空洞
拍下他們驚訝的表情,是無比有趣的事!

to the army has an assault rifle under his bed

所以第19點應該是"看到瑞士人在德國電視台講德文要加字幕時
覺得很好笑"吧?

就是在德國電視上看到瑞士人講德語都要上字幕就對了 XD
17. 那個該說是理性勿戰嗎?我覺得是「中立」。XD

好像瑞士德語很多用法跟發音不見得與德國德語相同
如果學德國德語不見得能與說瑞士德語的人用"德語"溝通
