这位是马蒂,一个典型的芬兰人,
他性格温和,喜欢安静,重视私人空间。
Meet Matti, a stereotypical Finn who appreciates peace,
quiet and personal space.
与人相处时,
马蒂尽量做到“己所不欲,勿施于人 ”:他尊重别人的空间,以礼待人,
从不废话连篇、惹人讨厌。
不过,你也许已经猜到了,
事事不能总如马蒂所愿。
Matti tries his best to do unto others as he wishes to be done unto him:
to give space, be polite and not bother with unnecessary chit-chat.
As you might've guessed, it can't always go that way.
如果这本书让你有种熟悉的感觉,
说不定你的身体里也住着一个小马蒂哟。
If you feel uncomfortable when reading these comics,
you just might have a tiny Matti living in you. (查看原文)
嘿,又见面了。
Hello again.
这位是马蒂,
你们也许已经见过他了。
这是第二本有关马蒂日常生活的书
(提到这个会让马蒂害羞)。This is Matti,
if you didn't know him already.
This is a second book of his life
(mentioning that to him makes him a little embarrassed).
作为一个普普通通的芬兰人,
马蒂做事的方式非常芬兰:
沉默寡言、低调不张扬、不给别人添麻烦。
Matti is just a regular Finn.
He does things the way a regular Finn would do:
in silence and trying his best not to stand out or bother anyone. (查看原文)
