英語口語教學(xué):“一扎啤酒”用英語怎么說
1、有beer,就有draght beer or draft beer.
那么,問題來了。What is beer? Beer是什么?
2、有beer,就有draght beer or draft beer,有draft beer之外,還有什么beer ?
3、最后,回到正題:“一扎啤酒”英語怎么說?
實(shí)際上,“一扎啤酒”體現(xiàn)的是下面這個(gè)問題:
How do you buy or order beer in quantity in a bar or in a pub?
在酒吧買啤酒“數(shù)量”上怎么叫法的問題。這里面有中西方的差別。
“一扎啤酒”是中國人的習(xí)慣“飲啤酒”叫法。“扎瓶”或“扎杯”是一種寬口帶把玻璃瓶,英語叫pitcher??蓾不ǎ谥袊瓢?,可裝啤酒,這樣的啤酒叫“一扎啤酒”。
在英美國家酒吧,沒有這樣的“買酒”法,他們的數(shù)量詞只叫a pint(一品脫)或half(a pint)(半品脫),也可以論glass賣,a glass of or a large glass of or a small glass of.
有了這些東西方“背景知道”,我們現(xiàn)在可以用英語跟老外“論酒”了。
現(xiàn)在跟我大聲說英語:
Well when we talk about 一扎啤酒, we are talking about some differences between China and English-speaking countries like the USA or the UK.
這句英語長(zhǎng)一點(diǎn),會(huì)說吧?我們?cè)僬f:
Well when we talk about 一扎啤酒, we are talking about some differences between China and English-speaking countries like the USA or the UK.
When we buy or order beer in a bar or in a pub in quantity(稱數(shù)量時(shí)),in China, we would say buy a pitcher of draft beer or beer on tap, but in the USA or in the UK, they will usually buy a pint of beer or a half pint of beer. They don”t say a pitcher of beer in the USA or in the UK, just like we don’t say buy a pint of beer in China either.
你能這么跟老外溝通“中西飲酒差異”吧?
