在20世纪,能驰名全世界的英文缩略语并不多见,而真正能够做到这一点的那些却经常带有不祥的意味。如SS(纳粹党卫军)、KGB(克格勃)等。一般来说,人们更熟识美国的缩略语,如CIA、FBI等,所以英国人不会期望每个美国人都能知道LSE伦敦证券交易所)或IRA(爱尔兰共和军),但是,没有人不知道BBC(英国广播公司)。 In the 20th century, English acronyms that were world famous were rare and those that were truly capable of doing that were often ominous. Such as SS (SS), KGB (KGB) and so on. Generally speaking, people are more familiar with the acronyms in the United States, such as the CIA, the FBI, etc., so the British do not expect every American to know the LSE London Stock Exchange or the IRA, but no one does not I know the BBC (BBC).
