Let’s break this down:
Awful weather: There’s more rain in New York City than London, and more snow in New England than any part of the UK. As for the summers, in most States summers are unbearable and air-con is must due to poorly built houses with little insulation, where as in the UK summers are pleasant and houses don’t need air-con, some office blocks do.
Poorly built homes: Many people in the UK live in houses over 100 years old, some houses are more than 400 years - longer than the USA has existed! And they are still standing. Shoddy eh?
Ugly wallpapers: There are many types of wallpaper in the UK - just as in America - and most are not ugly. And most people just paint their walls because wallpaper is no longer fashionable.
Awful food: Have you ever eaten American food? Burgers, pizza, chill-dogs (whatever they are). Even fast food restaurants taste better in the UK than in the USA - for the same franchise! And everything else tastes better than that and is healthier than the what Americans eat.
Depressing run down cities: Ever been to Detroit? No city or town in the UK is as run down as Motor City!
So, what’s it like living in the dump that is the USA, eating unhealthy tasteless food, freezing in the Winters and boiling in the Summers? It must be hell? No wonder many Hollywood stars end up living in the UK. If you had the money, why wouldn’t you?
让我们来分解一下：
1、糟糕的天气：
纽约市的降雨量比伦敦多，新英格兰的降雪量比英国任何地方都多。
至于夏天，在大多数州，夏天都令人难以忍受，由于房屋建造得很差，几乎没有隔热材料，空调是必须的。而在英国，夏天很愉快，房子不需要空调，只有一些办公楼需要空调。
2、建造不善的房屋：
在英国，许多人住在有100多年历史的房子里，有些房子已经有400多年的历史了，比美国历史还长！他们仍然挺立着。嗯，这是劣质的吗？
3、丑陋的壁纸：
英国有很多种壁纸，就像美国一样，大多数都不难看。大多数人只是粉刷墙壁，因为壁纸不再流行了。
4、难吃的食物：
你吃过美国菜吗？汉堡、披萨、热狗（不管它们是什么）。即使是快餐店，在英国的味道也比在美国的要好——同样的特许经营权！其他的东西都比那个好吃，都比美国人吃的更健康。
5、萧条的破败城市：
去过底特律吗？在英国，没有哪个城市或城镇，像这座汽车城那样破败不堪！
那么，生活在美国的垃圾堆里，吃着不健康、无味的食物，冬天冻着，夏天煮着，是什么感觉呢？一定是地狱吧？难怪许多好莱坞明星最终都选择住在英国。如果你有钱，为什么不住英国呢？

I was lucky enough to live and study in the UK for 5 years (I am from Chile). My oldest daughter was born in the UK.
I can assure you the weather is great, especially if you are coming from Canada or Minnesota. So it rains every day, it means no air pollution anywhere and beautiful green parks everywhere.
The most amazing thing about the UK is people. They are welcoming, polite, tolerant, tolerant, tolerant, with the right amount of crazy. Plus, they are so funny and are always laughing at themselves, except when attacked by someone from the US apparently.
Also, probably this is something that you do not value at all, but it's filled with culture and arts. Museums (which are all free by the way), plays, music, everything and anything you can think of. I so miss listening to the Messiah at Christmas. They are culturally aware for the most part.
They do not feel the need to be happy every single moment or run chores all the time to fill time.
Despite what they think, NHS is such a good health service. I was hospitalized 3 months because I had a high-risk pregnancy, so believe me when I say I could not believe the care I got.
Finally, they understand there is a world out there. They would never call a sport competition held in the UK between UK teams, the “World Cup” or anything similar.
Lived in the US for a year for my master's, only to miss the UK.
Greetings from Chile to all UK crazy lovely people.
我很幸运能在英国生活和学习5年（我来自智利）。我的大女儿出生在英国。
我可以向你保证，天气很好，尤其是如果你来自加拿大或明尼苏达州。所以，每天都下雨，这意味着任何地方都没有空气污染，到处都是美丽的绿色公园。
英国最令人惊奇的是人。他们热情、礼貌、宽容、包容，有着恰到好处的疯狂。此外，他们非常有趣，总是自嘲，除非被来自美国的人攻击。
此外，也许这是你根本不重视的东西，但它充满了文化和艺术。博物馆（顺便说一句，这些都是免费的）、戏剧、音乐、一切你能想到的东西。我很怀念在圣诞节听弥赛亚。他们在很大程度上具有文化意识。
他们不觉得需要每时每刻都开心，也不觉得需要一直做家务来打发时间。
不管他们怎么想，英国的国民医疗服务体系是一个很好的医疗服务体系。因为我的怀孕被判定为高风险的，我住院了3个月，我不敢相信我得到的护理，请相信我。
最后，他们明白外面还有一个世界。他们永远不会把在英国举行的英国队之间的体育比赛称为“世界杯”或类似的比赛。
为了攻读硕士学位，我在美国住了一年，不得不错过了英国。
从智利发来的，向所有英国疯狂可爱的人们的问候。
We can change our wallpaper, some of the homes are 100s of years old - that’s pretty good for ‘poorly built’! We have some of the most amazing restaurants in the world, and we don’t need to worry about our chicken being bleached, or leaving out eggs out of the fridge.
The weather and the cities… you’ve got me there
However that’s a small price to pay for the NHS, much less misogyny in our healthcare (which is ACTUAL healthcare, and not a for-profit business!) being able to get treatment for illnesses without fear of going bankrupt, fewer religious nut jobs on the street, being able to walk down the street without being shot at, not being terrified of our police, schools not brainwashing our kids, teachers being able to afford to teach, parents not having to pay for necessities for their kids classroom, and being able to safely send our kids to school and be sure they’re not going to die in a mass school shooting.
I mean, we’re not doing the best job in the world, but at least we’re not the USA.
我们可以更换壁纸，有些房子已经有100年的历史了——如果说这是“糟糕的建筑”，这很好！
我们有一些世界上最棒的餐厅，我们不需要担心我们的鸡肉被漂白了，或者忘记把鸡蛋放在冰箱里了。
天气和城市……这可把我难住了。思考.jpg
然而，想想英国的国民医疗服务体系，天气和城市只能算是一个很小的代价，更不用说我们的医疗保健中的厌女症要少得多（这是实际的医疗保健，而不是营利性的业务！）。能够在不用担心破产的情况下获得疾病治疗。街上宗教狂热者很少，能够在街上行走而不被枪击，不需要害怕我们的警察，学校不会给我们的孩子洗脑，教师有能力教书，家长不必为孩子的课堂支付必需品，能够安全地送孩子上学，确保他们不会死于大规模校园枪击案。
我的意思是，我们做不到世界上最好的，但至少我们这里不是美国。
We sit in our poorly built (brick, not wooden) homes, with the ugly wallpaper, in our depressing run down cities, looking out at the awful weather, and we think to ourselves, at least our awful weather saves us from famine due to endless drought, and, don’t forget, no rain - no beer!
Then we remember. The people in some countries, might not have a home at all, because they have been unfortunate to have been ill, and lost their home to pay for treatment. Possibly from gunshot wounds, from some madman with an assault rifle.
It then makes us feel better when we remember our working conditions with lots of holidays, and if we choose to work abroad, we wont have our Government chasing us for tax. It makes us feel even better when we see the shambles some, supposidly democratic countries call, their “political system”, where the one with the most popular votes, isn’t necessarily the winner, especially when you see some of the leaders it throws up!
So we sit back, enjoy our awful food, sigh, and thank God we don’t live elswhere.
我们坐在我们破旧不堪的城市里，坐在建得很差的（砖砌的，而不是木制的）房子里，贴着丑陋的壁纸，看着糟糕的天气，我们心想，至少我们糟糕的天气让我们免于无休止的干旱带来的饥荒，别忘了，没有雨，就没有啤酒！
然后，我们就想到了。一些国家的人民可能根本没有家，因为他们不幸生病了，为了支付治疗费用失去了家园。可能是枪伤，也可能是某个拿着突击步枪的疯子。
当我们想到自己有很多假期的工作时，这会让我们感觉更好，如果我们选择出国工作，我们就不会被政府追着征税。
当我们看到一些假想的民主国家所称的“政治体系”的混乱时，我们会感觉更好，在这个体系中，得票最多的人不一定是赢家，尤其是当你看到它抛出来供你选择的一些领导人时！
所以，我们坐下来，享受我们糟糕的食物，叹一口气，感谢上帝，我们不住在其他地方。
I should not think the Bristish cope with the UK any differently than Americans cope with the USA.
Poorly built homes? ours dont blow away in a storm like American homes.
Ugly wallpapers? i think you are thinking of France, they love ugly patterned wallpaper. Most British paint their walls in tasteful colours.
Awful food? The English dont chlorinate our chicken, or let the Americans export theirs to the UK. The English dont wash their eggs, making their storage short term. Oh, have you ever eaten an English beef dinner, or maybe a tasty curry?
Depressing run down cities? I am thinking of cities like Detroit which looks more like a Beirut slum, and Trailer Parks where even the Americans call the occupants “Trailer Trash”.
You really are living in a fantasy world.
我不认为英国人对英国的应对方式，与美国人对美国的应对方式有任何不同。
建得不好的房子？我们的房子不会像美国的房子那样在风暴中被吹走。
丑陋的壁纸？我想你想到的是法国，他们喜欢丑陋的花纹壁纸。大多数英国人把墙漆成高雅的颜色。
糟糕的食物？英国人不给我们的鸡肉氯化，也不让美国人把他们的鸡肉出口到英国。英国人不洗鸡蛋，因为洗鸡蛋会让鸡蛋的储存时间变得很短。
哦，你吃过英国牛肉晚餐，或者美味的咖喱吗？
萧条的破败城市？我想到的是像底特律。底特律看起来更像贝鲁特（黎巴嫩首都）的贫民窟，还有拖车公园，美国人甚至称其为“住在活动房屋的废物”。
你真的生活在一个幻想的世界里。
How can the Americans (as I presume the questioner is, because only they ask such stupid questions) stand to live in the US with their psychotic, fascist ex-president and his messed up racist cultists trying to get him back into office. Or the current president who possibly has Alzheimer's. Or the beef that is unsellable in any other country because if the amount of crap you inject into it? Or the general intolerance of the masses? Or the religious nutters who seem to have a huge hand in how the country is run? Or the daily school shootings? The insane amount of racism? The lack of Maternity leave for new mothers? The lack of healthcare? Etc etc etc.
Frankly, I'll take my poorly built home, that is actually a new build and is really vary spacious and nice. And my ugly wallpaper… oh wait, that's just plain white and clean looking. Lessee… awful food… no, I quite enjoy it. At least the beef is edible. The weather? No… yeah it rains a lot, but that's why we are such a green and pleasant land and out major cities aren't on fire. And depressing and run down cities… ok, well some of them are older than the US itself so yeah, there will be some delapidation and some of the towns are a bit grim…. But we don't have a Skid Row at least!
美国人（我想提问者应该是美国人，因为只有他们才会问这么愚蠢的问题）怎么能忍受在美国生活，他们的精神病患者、法西斯前总统和他那些混乱的种族主义邪教分子试图让他重新上台。
还有可能患有老年痴呆症的现任总统，还有在任何其他国家都卖不出去的牛肉，因为你给牛肉注射了那么多的垃圾！还有群众的普遍性偏执狭窄？还有那些似乎对国家管理有很大影响力的宗教疯子？还有每天的校园枪击案？疯狂的种族主义？新妈妈没有产假？缺乏医疗保健？等等。
坦率地说，我会带着我那栋建得很差的房子，那实际上是一栋新房子，非常宽敞漂亮。还有我那丑陋的壁纸……哦，等等，那只是纯白干净的样子。让我看看……糟糕的食物……不，我很喜欢。至少牛肉是可以吃的。天气？不……是的，雨下得很多，但这就是为什么我们是一片绿色宜人的土地，而大城市没有火灾的原因。还有令人沮丧和破败的城市……好吧，其中一些城市比美国本身更古老，所以是的，会有一些破旧，一些城镇有点阴森……但我们至少没有流浪汉聚集的贫民区！
The absolute ignorance Americans show about anything outside their shores hasn't improved since my big sister married an American airman and emigrated to the USA in 1961. Someone asked her ‘do you have electricity in England?’ to which she replied ‘yes, actually our mud hut was wired up last week!’ The sad part was that the American believed her!
自从我姐姐1961年嫁给一名美国飞行员并移民到美国以来，美国人对境外任何事情的绝对无知一直都没有改善。
有人问她：“英国有电吗？”
对此，她回答说：“是的，实际上我们的泥屋上周已经装好电了！”
可悲的是美国人居然相信了她！
We are British? We can cope with anything and we love misery. Misery is our favourite. Picture the scene. You've walked 20 miles, it's pitch black, freezing cold, the wind is knocking you sideways, the chip shop is closed and its just started to rain. Absolutely brilliant, this is what we live for.
我们是英国人？我们可以应付任何事情，我们喜欢痛苦。痛苦是我们的最爱。想象一下这个场景。你已经走了20英里，天一片漆黑，冰冷刺骨，风把你吹向一边，薯条店关门了，刚开始下雨。绝对精彩，这就是我们活着的目的。

Wallpaper?!!! I don't have any walls papered.
It was nice and sunny when I woke up this morning. It was quite warm so opened the windows to let fresh air in. Not bad for mid September!!!
Awful food?! Well if you can't cook that's hardly our fucking problem!!!
壁纸？！！！我没有任何壁纸。
今天早上我醒来时天气晴朗。天气很暖和，所以我打开窗户让新鲜空气进来。对九月中旬来说还不错！！！
糟糕的食物？！好吧，如果你不会做饭，那就不是我们的问题了！！！
It's very easy it is now the middle of September the weather has been warm today and has been all week. The neares town dates back to the middle ages, my house is nearly 200 years old and will still be here in 200 years time. Your mainly timber frxd houses will last around 30 years if you are lucky. I have been to New York twice and Chicago once, and you say that we have run down cities ? At least I'm unlikely to get shot which is more than I can say for most Americans.
很容易，现在已经是九月中旬了，今天的天气一直很暖和，整个星期都很暖和。附近的小镇可以追溯到中世纪，我的房子已经有将近200年的历史了，200年后还会在这里。如果你运气好的话，你的木结构房屋可以使用30年左右。我去过纽约两次，芝加哥一次，你说我们已经破败不堪了？至少我不太可能中枪，这对大多数美国人来说是不可能的。
