如今,逛夜店被越来越多的人看成是一种都市时尚,夜店成为城市的“客厅”;经常光顾夜店的男女们也就成了“夜店族”,英语中对应的说法是pub crawl。
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。一晚上去好多家酒吧,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。
例:
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?
如果你没串过酒吧,为什么不试试呢?
