又快到周末了,你是决定泡夜店还是上街购物,抑或当宅男宅女呢?今天我们先学学“夜店族”怎么说吧。
Pub crawl“夜店族”
Crawl 的意思是爬,那么爬酒吧又是什么意思呢?
不论单身与否,泡吧是许多人最喜欢的娱乐活动。去酒吧的话,有的人prefer to stay in one place,而有些人则喜欢go to more than one pub on a night out。一晚上去好多酒吧,每个酒吧都坐上一会儿,然后再去其它酒吧,我们管这种在酒吧间串来串去的行为就叫做pub crawl。
Pub crawl 起源于19世纪,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,你可以说we’re going on a pub crawl 或是we’re doing a pub crawl。
对话:
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? 你喜欢酒吧吗?你曾经去过吗?(如果你没串过酒吧,为什么不试试呢?)
