Paris (France) 

If you're a first-timer, everything in Paris, of course, will be new to you. If you've been away for a while, expect changes: Taxi drivers may no longer correct your French but address you in English--and that's tantamount to（同等的,相当于) a revolution. More Parisians（巴黎人） have arudimentary（基本的,初步的）knowledge of English, and the country, at least at first glance, seems lesshysterically（歇斯底里地，极端地）xenophobic（对外国人无理仇视的，排外的） than in past years. Part of this derives from Parisians' interest in music, videos, and films from foreign countries, and part is caused by France's growing awareness of its role within a united Europe.
