Bars 无论中外都是一个和朋友谈天论地的好地方,无论是初相识还是老相识,到酒吧喝上两杯大家就是兄弟。而对于老美来说,下班去bars喝酒更是很正常的事情。今天就带大家看看有哪些英语表达方法可以用在酒吧里吧。
(1)如何和对方酒吧(bar)约起?
I am really in the mood for a drink.
我现在真想去喝一杯啊。
Great, let’s stop off at the bar around the corner.
好啊,我们去旁边那个酒吧。
Do you want a drink?
你想喝一杯(酒)吗?
This is my treat.
这次由我请客。
It's my treat today. I’ll pay.
今天我请客。
I will pick up the first round.
第一轮我请客。
P.S.在中国,我们通常都是一开始就点好几打的酒,喝完以后把所有消费合计再结账。但在美国,更多的酒吧是点完一轮酒就直接付款。而后面再加单的算是第二轮。这是用round这个词。
而且酒吧也分很多种:drinking hole规模小的酒吧, nightclub夜店, pool hall可以打桌球的酒吧, inn 不提供用餐住宿的酒吧。
(2)酒吧气氛(atmosphere)还不错哦。
There is a beer bar up a block, they have great beers and the place is hopping.
那个街上有一个啤酒店,那里的啤酒还可以,也挺热闹的。
I sort of like a quiet place where you can have conversations.
我比较喜欢能够安静聊天的地方。
It is cozy and the prices are reasonable.
挺好的,环境舒适,价格实惠。
This place is cool.
气氛挺好的。
This place sucks.
气氛很糟糕。
(3)点酒/下单(place an order)

OK, I would like a whiskey straight up, but make it a double.
好的。我要一杯威士忌不加冰,双份的。
P.S. 加冰 on the rocks. 不加冰 straight up.
除了红酒以外,酒的种类也有很多:Bloody Mary血腥玛莉, martini马提尼, cocktail鸡尾, Long Island Ice Tea 长岛冰茶, whiskey威士忌, vodka伏特加, brandy白兰地
(4)喝的快吐了(throw up )

酒后驾驶是非常危险的,喝醉者和其他人都会受伤害。
We should remember not to drive after drinking.

Unless we deal with automobile and highway safety and reduce accidents in which alcoholic drinking plays a role, many will continue to die.
