Cuando un angloparlante se da cuenta de que un extranjero con el que está hablando no entiende una de sus frases, la repite de la misma manera, pero más alto, como si la persona estuviera sorda. No se le ocurre en ningún momento que puede que su vocabulario sea complicado o que su expresión muy probablemente sea ambigua para un extranjero y que podría reformularla de una forma más sencilla. El resultado es que, aparte de que la persona sigue sin entenderla, ésta se enfada por ser considerada sorda.

When an English speaker realises that a foreign person they are speaking to doesn't understand one of their sentences, they repeat it, the same way, but louder, as though the person were deaf. At no point does it come to their mind that their vocabulary might be complicated or that their expression might most probably be ambiguous to a foreigner and that they could reword it in a simpler way. The result is that not only does the person still not understand, but they get irritated at being considered deaf.
