(单词翻译)

Sipho has lived in London all his life. Here is what he thinks of the statement. Some of them are some of them aren't. Generally I would say they are. I think they're very regimented,very quite straightforward1, some of them can be adventurous2, but generally they like to stick to the rules, and, kind of, go along with what society says you should do. Now what about people from other countries? I mean, as a student obviously, the people that I surround myself with are far more liberal than most Americans that I would come across. However, I think, as a whole, the country does tend to sort of lean more towards conservative traditional values, just conservative in the sense that English people seem to be less sort of open to sweeping3 changes coming in and drastically changing the landscape I think. So this young student feels that students in the UK are far more liberal than most Americans that she has come across.
