Ausgangstext - Englisch The Irish are justifiably renowned for their easy-going, affable nature. They’re famous for being warm and friendly, which is just another way of saying that the Irish love a bit of a chat, whether it be with friends or strangers. They will entertain with their humour, alarm you with their willingness to get stuck in to a good debate and will cut you down with their razor-sharp wit. Slagging – the Irish version of teasing – is an art form, which may seem caustic to unfamiliar ears but is quickly revealed as intrinsic element of how the Irish relate to one another; it is commonly assumed that the mettle of friendship is proven by how well you can take a joke rather than the payment of a cheap compliment.
The Irish aren’t big on talking themselves up; self-deprecation is a much-admired art form in Ireland, but it is generally accepted that the more you talk yourself down, the higher your reality is likely to be. The other trait the Irish have is begrudgery – although it’s something only recognised by them and generally kept within the wider family. It’s kind of amusing, though, to note that someone like Bono is subject to more intense criticism in Ireland than anywhere else in the world.
Beneath all of the garrulous sociability and self-deprecating twaddle lurks a dark secret, which is that, at heart, the Irish are low on self-esteem. They’re therefore very suspicious of praise and tend not to believe anything nice that’s said about them. The Irish wallow in false modesty like a sport.
Übersetzung - Deutsch Die Nationale Seele
Die Iren sind zu Recht für ihr unbekümmertes, umgängliches Wesen berühmt. Sie sind bekannt für ihre herzliche und freundliche Art und man sagt ihnen nach, dass die Iren gerne ein Schwätzchen halten, ob nun mit Freunden oder Fremden. Sie können Besucher mit ihrem Humor unterhalten und uns mit ihrem messerschafren Verstand in Angst versetzen, beunruhigen aber auch mit ihrer Bereitschaft, endlos zu diskutieren. Frotzeln – eine irische Form der Stichelei – ist eine hohe Kunst, die für ungeübte Ohren verletzend klingt, sich aber schnell als ein wesentlicher Teil des Umgangs der Iren miteinander herausstellt; es wird gemeinhin angenommen, dass sich die Tiefe einer Freundschaft darin zeigt, wie gut man einen Spaß versteht und weniger im Verteilen von falschen Komplimenten.
Die Iren loben sich nicht gerne selbst; Selbstabwertung ist eine vielbewunderte Wesensart in Irland, aber es gilt auch, daß man in der Regel viel erfolgreicher ist als man sich präsentiert. Eine weitere Charaktereigenschaft der Iren ist ihre Missgunst, die sie auch zugeben und die in der Regel nur die Verwandtschaft zu spüren bekommt. Es ist schon amüsant, dass jemand wie Bono nirgends auf der Welt soviel Kritik einstecken muß wie in Irland.
Unter der geschwätzigen Geselligkeit und dem selbstabschätzenden Gerede verbirgt sich ein dunkles Geheimnis – die Iren haben ein schwaches Selbstbewusstsein. Daher trauen sie auch Komplimenten nicht und tun sich schwer, Lob zu akzeptieren. Die Iren schwelgen in falscher Bescheidenheit als wäre es ein Sport.
