There's no denying that New Yorkers have quite the reputation for being no-nonsense, tough cookies — and to be fair, that's not too far off the personality of Australians...if you took it down, like, 50 notches.
I mean, the fundamental traits are mostly the same, save for the rise and grind, knock people out of your way on the footpath energy.
但是为了安全，reddit用户u/Disastrous-Passion59摆姿势this question对网站上的澳大利亚人来说：“我是一个纽约人，在这里住了一段时间。有人有我应该知道的建议/建议/不成文的规则吗？”

4."Because summer is just around the corner: If you are not a strong swimmer, or used to swimming in the ocean, always swim at a patrolled beach and swim between the flags. We lose too many overseas visitors to drowning."
5."Melb-en. Not Mel-born."
- U/Meow_Kitty1982

7.“芝麻菜称为火箭，香菜被称为香菜，鹰嘴豆被称为鹰嘴豆。”
8.“该死，有人提到了喜pies吗？我们的春天是'延迟'，所以他们很快就会与婴儿一起蓬勃发展，他们会为您服务。在您当地的引擎盖中尊重它们，他们倾向于学会让您独自一人。他们有美好的回忆，并会记住您是否和他们在一起。”

9。“只是不要摇摆。一切都很好，欢迎。”
10。“在（餐厅）吃食物时，它叫做'外卖'，而不是'去'。”
11."Make friends by praising Australia and Australians, and asking questions that don't imply any negativity. Be quick with a laugh, be good natured, trust that the odds are a person is being nice, but we do it by joking. If you are working, it is often a rite of passage to be teased to see if you're an alright bloke and to see if you can take it. Australians don't like people who take themselves too seriously."

12.“避免小费的冲动是巨大的。它越来越多。”
- U/Bodgieaf
13.“防晒霜，兄弟 - 穿。”
14."If you are driving and you give way in a tight two-way street, some may not give a courtesy wave and some will wave back. If you are given way, it's nice to give a wave back."
- U/ventti_slim
15."The context of 'cunt' is usually found by the preceding word. 'Shit cunt' and 'good cunt' are pretty self explanatory."
"This rule is reversed when answering in the positive or negative. Yeah nah = no, nah yeah = yes."
- U/fro
16."Remember, a tram can weigh as much as 17 rhinos."
17.“当你想要咖啡时，去当地的咖啡馆，而不是麦加的[麦当劳]，星巴克或任何大型连锁店，因为它们是垃圾。如果您想要深夜的咖啡，Macca可以，但是当地的咖啡馆会更好。”
- U/z8chh
18."Lower the volume of your voice by about 75% and don’t treat public transport like you’re the only person on it."
- U/Ok_Substance9153
19.“如果您要订购咖啡，很多墨尔本的咖啡店就不会显示菜单，所以请在订购之前就知道您想要什么。”
20。"If you're talking to an Aussie on the phone, we like to wrap up the conversation and end with a goodbye. For example: 'Great...well thanks for the chat and we'll catch up soon! Okay, take care, bye!'. It really threw me when I first met a New Yorker who would just terminate the conversation by hanging up. Aussies appreciate a little social foreplay and aftercare."
- U/Venturahighway72
21。"Like the use of "cunt", "mate" is also contextualised...But this time by tone. Mate can be friendly, loving even, but with a different tone it can be threatening and abusive. You will work it out."
22。“用水壶将水烧开而不是微波炉。”
23.“看right然后在马路过马路时离开。”
- U/Hillbillypolenta
24."With Americans generally I find they offer a lot of information about themselves voluntarily — Australians don't. So if you want to know more about someone you might just have to ask personal questions. It's not that we're not talkative, but are fairly private."
25."If you want to make instant friends with Australians tell them our hot chips and meat pies are better than New Zealand’s — even if you have never had hot chips or meat pies from there. They’ll be eating out of your fucking hand."
- U/Human-Shame1068
26.“不要在电车上吃烤肉串。”
27."Just remember that Australians have a self-deprecating sense of humour, which often offends Americans who are ‘stereotypically’ quite easily triggered. When someone teases or trolls you, it is often done with affection. We generally love seppos [American people]."
- U/Fleshpuppet_
28."People more commonly say please and thank you when ordering rather than just thank you at the end. Often when ordering we frame it more as a request than a statement. 'Can I have two lattes please?' Or 'two lattes please' is fine, but 'I’ll take two lattes' or 'two lattes' followed by a thank you will come across as rude."
- U/Lyndal197
29.最后，“不要喂海鸥”。
