英语口语教学:“一扎啤酒”用英语怎么说

晓琼分享

  1、有beer,就有draght beer or draft beer.

  那么,问题来了。What is beer? Beer是什么?

  2、有beer,就有draght beer or draft beer,有draft beer之外,还有什么beer ?

  3、最后,回到正题:“一扎啤酒”英语怎么说?

  实际上,“一扎啤酒”体现的是下面这个问题:

  How do you buy or order beer in quantity in a bar or in a pub?

  在酒吧买啤酒“数量”上怎么叫法的问题。这里面有中西方的差别。

  “一扎啤酒”是中国人的习惯“饮啤酒”叫法。“扎瓶”或“扎杯”是一种宽口带把玻璃瓶,英语叫pitcher。可浇花,在中国酒吧,可装啤酒,这样的啤酒叫“一扎啤酒”。

  在英美国家酒吧,没有这样的“买酒”法,他们的数量词只叫a pint(一品脱)或half(a pint)(半品脱),也可以论glass卖,a glass of or a large glass of or a small glass of.

  有了这些东西方“背景知道”,我们现在可以用英语跟老外“论酒”了。

  现在跟我大声说英语:

  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.

  这句英语长一点,会说吧?我们再说:

  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(称数量时),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.

  你能这么跟老外沟通“中西饮酒差异”吧?
