parts of the world, queuejumpers may simply be pushed back into line. Ironically (具有諷刺意義的是 ), it is only in England, where queuejumping is regarded as deeply immoral, that the queuejumper is likely to get away with the offence. Only rarely do the English actually speak up and tell the jumper to go to the back of the queue. Queuing is almost a national pastime for the English, who automatically arrange themselves into orderly lines at bus stops, shop counters, icecream vans, entrances, exits, and lifts. In 1946, a Hungarian humorist described queuing as English “national passion”. “On the continent,” he said. “if people are waiting at a bu s stop they walk around in a seemingly relaxed fashion. When the bus arrives they make a dash (猛沖 ) for it...An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms orderly queue of one.” In an update over thirty years later in 1977 he confirmed that this was still the case. After nearly another thirty years nothing much seems to have changed. In many cases, queuejumping is effectively prevented by nonverbal (非語(yǔ)言的 ) signals alone. When someone is considering jumping a queue, the queuers will start glancing at him sideways, through narrowed, suspicious eyes. Then they move a bit closer to the person in front of them, just in case the jumper might try to insert himself in the gap. Frowns, glares, and raised eyebrows — acpanied by heavy sighs, pointed coughs — are usually the worst that the person will suffer if he jumps a queue. Faced with all this, the jumper will think better of it and withdraw to the back of the queue. 5. In America and other European countries, queuejumpers .
