又快到周末了,你是決定泡夜店還是上街購物,抑或當宅男宅女呢?今天我們先學學“夜店族”怎么說吧。
Pub crawl“夜店族”
Crawl 的意思是爬,那么爬酒吧又是什么意思呢?
不論單身與否,泡吧是許多人最喜歡的娛樂活動。去酒吧的話,有的人prefer to stay in one place,而有些人則喜歡go to more than one pub on a night out。一晚上去好多酒吧,每個酒吧都坐上一會兒,然后再去其它酒吧,我們管這種在酒吧間串來串去的行為就叫做pub crawl。
Pub crawl 起源于19世紀,它也可以叫做a gin crawl 或是bar-hopping. It is the social act of a group of people drinking in a number of pubs in a single night.
The tradition of pub crawl is to walk from pub to pub with designated tee shirts for the bartenders to sign to show they were there. A new trend in this social networking is where the pub crawlers have anyone they meet also sign their shirts, kind of like a myspace friends network with ink and cloth.
至于用法上,你可以說we’re going on a pub crawl 或是we’re doing a pub crawl。
對話:
A: What are you doing on Saturday then?
B: I’m going on a pub crawl in town with some friends.
Do you enjoy pub crawls? Have you ever been on a pub crawl? 你喜歡酒吧嗎?你曾經去過嗎?(如果你沒串過酒吧,為什么不試試呢?)
