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?" is one 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。令人感到惊讶的是，就爱排队的英国人而言，酒吧里居然看不到正式的队伍。而酒保有本领知道该轮到谁了。你可以做些动作引起酒保的注意，但有规可循。关键是要吸引酒保的注意。你可以举起空杯子或钱，但不要摇晃。你脸上可以流露等待、期望，甚至略带焦急的表情。你如果显得太满足和得意的样子，酒保会认为他们已经为你提供服务了。
Speaking of tips, you should never offer the bar staff a cash gratuity. The correct behaviour is to offer them a drink. Pubs pride themselves on their egalitarian atmosphere. A tip in cash would be a reminder of their service role, whereas the offer of a drink is a friendly gesture.
说到"小费"，你可千万别给酒保现金以表示谢意。正确的做法是请酒保喝一盅。酒吧为自己的平等气氛感到自豪。现金小费会使人想到酒保是伺候人的，而请喝一杯则是友好的表示。
American Pub Culture 美国酒吧文化
Typical American pubs, often known as 'bars' offer a place for inner-city workers to relax after a hard day's work and meet up with friends. A focal point of this type of pub is the television set, which will be tuned into news programs, serial television shows and sports programs, such as baseball or American football. Many of these pubs have large-screen televisions, and use these to entice customers in.
传统的美国酒吧，常常被叫做"BAR"，它们为城市中辛苦工作一天的人们提供一个放松身心和朋友聚会的场所。在这种酒吧中最重要的就是电视机，经常播放新闻节目、电视连续剧以及像棒球和足球这类体育节目。许多酒吧会放置一台大荧幕的电视机，用他们招揽顾客。
American pubs are a great place to go for a good meal and a glass of beer or wine with friends. They usually offer a full menu including such things as hamburgers, steaks, salads and snacks. A lot of these pubs also feature a comprehensive selection of imported wines and beers as well as local beer on tap. During the day, when a sports final is on television, the pub can get pretty noisy. Many American pubs also offer live music at nighttime, which can be great for dancing or just background noise.
美国酒吧是用餐或者和朋友们喝一杯的好地方。他们通常会提供一份包罗了汉堡、牛排、沙拉和各种小吃的内容全面的菜单。许多酒吧还会以提供各种进口的葡萄酒、啤酒以及装在附带龙头的酒桶里的地方啤酒等广泛选择为特色。在白天，如果电视里正在播放一场体育比赛的总决赛，酒吧里会十分吵闹。在晚间，酒吧会播放生动的音乐，可以跳舞或者只是作为背景音乐。
When going to the pub with friends for a drink, it's best to buy drinks in rounds. So that, one person buys the drinks for everyone, then another person buys the next round and so on. This means you'll all spend less time ⑤lining up at the bar to buy your drinks, and it is the acceptable way to do it.
和朋友去酒吧喝一杯时，最好大家轮流买酒。当一个人为大家买了酒后，另一个人将买下一轮。这意味着每个人都要花点时间排队给大伙买点喝的，这是很能让人接受的方法。
As in most service-arenas in America, the service people do expect to receive a tip. There is usually a jar or container on the bar where you should leave tip money. Ensuring you put money in the jar while your service person sees you, ensures you'll keep getting good service at the bar all night. A fair tip is usually about 10-15% of what you have spent, but ⑥it's really up to you.
从美国的服务界来说，每个服务人员都希望得到小费。而在酒吧，通常会有一个坛子或容器来放你给的小费。当服务生看着你时，一定把小费放到坛子里，那会保证你一整个晚上都会得到好的服务。一般说来小费的数目是你所花费数目的 10-15%，不过还是由你自己决定的。
Finally, American bars can be a good place to meet people. Many people attending these bars are regulars so it's easy to get to know new people and make some great friends who you can have a regular drink with.
最后一点，酒吧是会朋友的好地方。许多人都是酒吧的常客，因此很容易认识新朋友，并且和那些经常一起喝酒的人成为最好的朋友。

Chapter 2 酒单大全--好酒任你挑
来到酒吧，面对琳琅满目的酒牌却无从下手。如果随便点一种岂不是破坏了喝酒的心情?其实，对酒的了解多一些，喝起来才会更加有味道哦!先来认识一些大名鼎鼎的好酒吧!
Tips--啤酒的种类
Draught生啤
在低温环境下发酵成熟，并且没有经过加热杀菌的啤酒就是生啤，由于在酿造过程中没有加热，所以生啤口味新鲜，它不需要做任何处理即可装瓶，装罐，装桶出厂。
Lager熟啤
就是常见的瓶装啤酒，指成熟的啤酒经过粗滤后，装入瓶或罐中，用60℃的温水淋浴20分钟，杀灭啤酒中的微生物。熟啤由于加热而会使其新鲜的风味降低。
Bitter苦啤
经过常温或高温发酵的啤酒，具有强烈的啤酒花的苦味和香味，或突出麦芽的焦糊味。
Tips--Whisky的种类
Malt Whisky麦牙威士忌
以大麦麦芽为原料，发酵后蒸馏，然后在橡木桶里逐渐成熟，酒的特征是强烈但很均衡的辣味。
Grain Whisky谷物威士忌
以玉米，以及小麦或大麦麦芽为原料，发酵后蒸馏，然后在橡木桶里逐渐成熟，酒的特征是醇和，口感不很浓烈。
Blendrd Whisky混合威士忌
用麦芽威士忌和谷物威士忌按比例调配而成，其中麦芽威士忌的含量越高(30%-50%或以上)，酒的级数就越高，质量越好。混合的目的是获得较平衡的清淡口味，取代原来各种类型麦芽威士忌的强烈刺激口味，使人更乐于品尝威士忌酒。
Cocktail
喝鸡尾酒是一种享受，而调制鸡尾酒则是一种艺术。鸡尾酒一般是由一种或几种酒和其它饮料及辅助材料混合而成的，这些最基本的酒就是基酒。常见的基酒有：
Brandy 白兰地;Whisky 威士忌;Gin 金酒(也叫杜松子酒);Rum 朗姆酒(也叫糖酒);Vodka 伏特加;Tequila特其拉酒 生产原料是龙舌兰，也就是芦荟。
这些基酒经过调制就可以成为不同色泽、不同口味的鸡尾酒。大名鼎鼎的鸡尾酒有：
Gin & Tonic金汤力：材料：金酒，汤力汽水，柠檬，加冰 。夏季饮更加清爽宜人。
Margarita玛格莉塔：材料：龙舌兰酒，橘子利乔酒，可以冰冻，摇匀，或加冰，也有洒盐在杯子的边缘，再挤小量柠檬汁在口里，然后一饮而尽。
Martini马提尼：材料：金酒，味美思酒。简单而又经典。
Tips--cocktail的由来
鸡尾酒一词，由英文"鸡尾"(cocktail)一词直译而来。对于这种酒为什么会有这样一个古怪的名字有许多种传说。有人说，从前有位国王的驸马会配制混合酒，因为受宾客欢迎，他应接不暇。忙乱中丢失了调酒的勺子。情急之下，他信手拔下帽饰上的鸡毛来调制，从此这种混合酒便得名鸡尾酒。人们普遍认为鸡尾酒的故乡在美国，它是后来才传人欧洲的。有人指出，调制鸡尾酒的技术是1859年由一个名叫杰里·托马斯的美国人传入英国的。因此关于鸡尾酒诞生在美国的说法也就更多了。据说1795年，美国新奥尔良有家药店老板制出一种在酒中掺入蛋黄的饮料，当地说法语的人把这种饮料称为"Coquetier"。后来这一名称渐渐被用来泛指各种混合酒。而"Coquetier"与英文"鸡尾"一词的发音相近，于是大家便都称它为鸡尾酒。又有人说：美国独立战争时期，有队士兵打了大胜仗，当地百姓十分兴奋。一家酒店老板特地调制了五颜六色、香气四溢的混合酒，为他们庆功祝贺。恰巧这家酒店以雄鸡斑斓的羽尾作为商标，人们就把这种酒称为鸡尾酒。
