巨型雕像——小记COLES之巅峰之作
英国人是独特的。如果你曾经与欧洲人有过相当地接触，那么你很容易从人群之中区分出哪是英国人、哪是德国人、哪是法国人......英国人对外界事情不太感兴趣，往往寡言少语，对新鲜事物经常持谨慎态度，具有独特的冷静的幽默。他们自身保守、对人冷漠，感情轻意不外露，即便有很伤心的事，也常常不表现出来。他们很少发脾气，能忍耐，不愿意与别人作无谓的争论。做事很有耐心，任何情况之下，他们绝不面露焦急之色。无时无刻不在维护他们的绅士风度。 英国人为起重机命名很有意思，他们往往会给每个型号的起重机起上一个绰号，如：Hydra（九头蛇）、Conqueror（征服者）、Centurion（百人队长）、Argus（百眼巨人）等等，而不像其他欧洲国家采用的LT、ATT、ATF等序列命名法。

1959年产COLES Argus 6x4 10T 汽车起重机
从1847年COLES创立至1998年COLES Sunderland工厂关闭150多年的时间里，COLES共研发各种类型起重机300多个型号。其中，1975年推出的Colossus 6000型可谓其巅峰之作。
Colossus 英译巨人、巨像、巨型雕像。

He secretly looks down on more excitable nations, and likes to think of himself as more reliable than they. He doesn’t trust big promises and open shows of feelings, especially if they are expressed in flowery language. He doesn’t trust self-praise of any kind. This applies not only to what other people may tell him about themselves orally, but to the letters they may write to him. To those who are fond of flowery expressions, the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold.
因为沉默寡言、谦虚的表现和幽默感是英国人天生性格的组成部分，典型的英国人总是期望别人也具有这种品质。他从心里看不起那些容易激动的民族，总是认为他们没有自己可靠。他不相信信誓旦旦的诺言，也不相信感情的直接外露，尤其不相信用华丽的语言做出的承诺和表达的感情。他对任何的自夸之词都不相信，不管是人们口头告诉的，还是写信书面表达的。在那些喜欢用华丽辞藻的人看来，英国人可能显得冷漠，让人感到很不舒服。 对近代史最具影响的三个国家是荷兰，英国和美国。 {:2_42:}澳大利亚也是老车“博物馆” 也来坐着看看,真的不错啊. 都是些前辈啊。顶！
强贴留名！:lol 我也来了顶啊！
