美国酒吧文化

Bob的Party一般都是Flying Saucer Club里举行的.每个星期他和他爱人都会呆在这里喝啤酒,所以他喜欢把聚会开在那里.他经常邀请我们,只是有时感觉累,就不想去.今天不去不行了,他邀请了几次,再不去说不过去了.Flying Saucer又名为UFO Club,是一家专营全世界啤酒的俱乐部.里面的高墙和屋顶上密密麻麻贴满了大大小小不同类型的碟子,从最低层的小菜碟子到大的花碟子,再上升到高处的金色碟子,到了金色碟子就可以有名字刻在上面了.所有的碟子是证明这个俱乐部成员的资格,就如同我们所说的白银,黄金,黑金会员.而Bob夫妇酷爱喝啤酒,这成了他们俩周末消遣的聚集地.他们已经在短短的两年喝了6000杯的各种不同的啤酒,所以他已是黑金会员了.今天庆祝他获得黑金会员,club的老板亲自给他挂上了他的第7个名字的金碟,还给每个客人介绍他的资格来源,再加上每个漂亮的waiter的拥抱,整个酒吧的人对他举起杯欢呼Cheers!,呼叫他的名字.拥有黑金的会员,可以定期邀请好友一起免费品尝酒吧里的任何一款啤酒.我喜欢Blue moon,有点蜂蜜的香味.Fly Saucer有三百多种世界上最出名的啤酒,中国的青岛啤酒也列入了全世界啤酒的名牌排行榜中.在国内,我们喝啤酒,都是大口喝的,这里是品的,每一种都可以品尝,但是不多.我觉得这样挺好,象国内这种拼命三郎式的拼酒,对胃不好,喝多了还难受.可能,这就是酒文化的差异吧.第二页-九页：介绍了美国一些传统酒吧和特色酒吧第十页：美国不同档次酒的价格第十一页：美国与酒有关的法律第十二页-二十页：盛放不同酒用的酒杯名称、大小、特点配图很直观第二十一-二十三页：酒吧中调酒用的各种工具第二十四页：总结美国酒吧文化American BarsIn America there are many bars, but the style for most of them is almost the same: a group of people sit together chatting: there are many TV sets showing the football or basketball match. In Chinese bars we go to bars mostly in order to have a get-together. While, our TV shows are seldom about sports except when most of the guests are men. Though bars sound noisy but really give people a busy and lively sight.当夜幕笼罩这座城市的时候，酒吧在都市美仑美奂的夜色中偷偷展露着她的笑脸，不张扬，不炫耀，在这流光溢彩的世界中显得分外的恬静。

放松抑郁的心情，忘却疲惫的身心，在那柔美的灯光、浮动的烟雾、流淌的音乐中感受生活、感受美好吧。

在酒吧已经成为时尚生活象征的今天，让我们一起去PUB开心品味各种洋酒，还有那些随酒而来的惬意Chat吧！Chapter 1酒吧文化我知道Chapter 2 酒单大全--好酒任你挑Chapter 3 相识有缘人--酒吧搭讪完全手册Chapter 4 京沪酒吧资讯大公开Chapter 1 酒吧文化我知道什么是PUB？The public house （pub）as we know it today, is really an invention of the 18th century. Before then, there were alehouses that sold beer brewed on the premises often by women, known as alewives or brewsters. More salubrious were inns, much larger establishments, which might offer food, stabling for horses, and a variety of dining and meeting rooms.我们今天所知道的公共酒店(pub)是18世纪的发明，在那之前有卖啤酒的啤酒店，这些啤酒常常是由妇女们在店内酿造的，我们称她们为啤酒店女主人或者酿酒人。

更让人觉得身心愉快的地方是那些建得更宽大的酒馆，在那里可以提供食物、马厩和各种类型的餐厅及会议室。

The 18th and 19th centuries saw a massive rebuilding of pubs ①in reaction to changing tastes, and the opening of new establishments to meet new demand in industrial and suburban areas. Since the Second World War, a further revolution has taken place as pubs have had to compete with an increasing range of leisure pursuits. Many started selling food, while others became theme pubs in the hope of attracting young people.适应于不断变化的品位和新建筑的开放风格，在18和19世纪大量的酒吧被重建以迎合工业和城镇的新要求。

从二战开始，酒吧发生了更大的变革，以便和范围不断扩大的休闲娱乐业竞争。

许多酒吧开始卖食物，而另外一些则成为希望吸引年轻人的主题酒吧。

Pub Culture of Britain 英国酒吧文化The British pub ②is renowned the world over as a unique social centre, the focus of community life, an influence on popular culture, a source of history and a tourist attraction.英国酒吧以独特的社交中心、社会生活的焦点、对流行文化的影响、历史资源和旅游吸引力而闻名于世界。

"If you haven't been to a pub, you haven't been to Britain." Pub culture is designed to promote sociability in a society known for its reserve. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely appropriate and rea1ly quite normal behaviour."你如果没去过酒吧，那就等于没有到过英国。

"在因其冷漠保守而出名的英国社会里，酒吧文化的形成是为了促进社会交往。

在大不列颠群岛上，把和陌生人友好地交谈看作是完全适宜的正常行为的唯一场所，可能就是吧台了。

Pub-goers will indicate in unspoken ways if they are interested in chatting. Concentrate on those who have bought drinks and are still loitering at the bar. Look for people with "open" body language, facing outwards into the room. Those who have moved to sit at tables are probably not seeking company.上酒吧的人如果有兴趣交谈的话，会用非言语方式表现出来。

注意那些已经买了酒可还在吧台前晃荡的人。

找那些面朝外对着屋里到处看的、用形体语言表示"可接触"的人。

而那些已经离开吧台，找到椅子坐下的人可能只想独酌。

If you are haring by British friends or business contracts, one of your hosts will probably buy the first round, but you should be quick to offer the next. The right time to offer to buy a drink is when their glasses are still a quarter full. The line of "③It's my round--What are you having?" isone of the most useful sentences in the English language.你如果和英国朋友在一起或者和英国人洽谈商业合同，接待你的主人中有一位可能买第一轮酒，而你应该很快表示买下一轮的。

在对方杯子里的酒还剩下四分之一时，就是你该提出买酒的时候了。

"这轮由我买--你喝的是什么？"是英国语言中非常有用的一句话。

Most pubs have no waiters--you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. Amazingly for the British, who love queues, there is no formal line-up-the bar staff are skilled at knowing whose turn it is. You are permitted to try to attract attention, but there are rules about how to do this. The key thing is to ④catch the bar worker's eyes. You could also hold an empty glass or some money, but do not wave them about. Do adopt an expectant, hopeful, even slightly anxious facial expression. If you 1ook too contented and complacent, the bar staff may assume you are already being served.大多数英国酒吧都没有服务员，你得到吧台去买酒。
