Ich habe einen englischen Text über Österreich vor mir liegen und muss diese Textpassage in 1-2 Sätze zusammenfassen. Habe den Text jetzt schon einige Male durchgelesen, aber ich habe es einfach nicht geschafft.
Wäre total nett, wenn mir jemand helfen könnte.
Hier ist der Text:
Nevertheless, Austrians wear their formality with a certain easy lightness and a major distinction between Austrian and German characters is that the former are much more tolerant of fooling around than their neighbours [there is a long tradition of pantomime and farce in Viennese theatre]. Austrians have a great sense of humour that is not always refined or subtle and they will accept your joking so long as you are self-deprecating at the same time. Teasing others, though, may be interpreted as putting them down, and that is certainly not appreciated. Unless you are confident of your command of German idiom and/or Austrian taste, it is perhaps best for a visitor to avoid making jokes that can be easily misconstrued in another culture. Humour has no place at a formal meeting or in the office at all when senior staff are present.
Vielen Dank im Voraus
