基礎的酒吧英語，大家應該不陌生。

但是酒吧文化一直在變。比如現在湧現出很多microbrewery, speakeasy酒吧等等。

今天，我們就說說2016年你要知道的酒吧英語！

英語里酒的說法千變萬化

酒的說法實在太多了，除了最常見的葡萄酒(wine)，今天的節目里還提到了以下這些酒的說法，先給大家列出來，具體的解釋都在節目里：

alcohol: 酒、酒精

booze (informal): 酒 (口語)

Let』s get some booze: 咱們一起去喝一杯

He boozes too much/He boozes a lot/He hits the booze pretty hard: 他非常愛喝

BYOB/ Bring your own booze: 請帶酒出席，在派對的邀請里會縮寫成BYOB

Booze, like alcohol, is an all-encompassing term: Booze跟alcohol一樣，包括各種酒

My gut kinda tells me that originally it was really used to refer to liquor: 我感覺Booze這個詞最早是指烈酒

liquor: 烈酒

liquor store: 賣酒的商店 (常常是政府經營的)

In some states, you have to go to the liquor store to get liquor; there』re some states that have liquor in the grocery store: 有些州規定只有專門的店才能賣烈酒，而有些州超市裡就有出售

No drunk driving/ Don』t drink and drive: 喝酒不開車，開車不喝酒

有些人真的酒精過敏

美國人喜歡自家釀酒

中國流行自家種菜，美國流行自家釀酒。當然，釀酒可是個技術活，不僅工序複雜，而且品質不佳的私釀酒還可能損害視力。

spirit: 烈酒，白酒

hooch: 烈酒，通常是私釀的

moonshine: 私釀的酒

It』s pretty dangerous to make liquor at home: 在家自己釀烈酒挺危險的

Microbrewery has become a global craze in recent years: 精釀啤酒這幾年來風靡全球

We used to put three beers at a time in a beer bong; it would be like 36 ounces: 一詞倒三瓶酒進去，差不多有36盎司

You drink it in 2 or 3 second; you just down/chug/guzzle it: 2、3秒喝完，要一口悶

禁酒令時期：美國全國禁酒

許多國家都經歷過禁酒令的年代，美國也不例外。禁酒令在美國持續了十多年，最後終於在一波又一波的抗議聲中瓦解。但這段獨特的歷史也給我們留下了獨特的酒吧——speakeasy bar，也就是禁酒令時代的地下酒吧。

speakeasy bar: 禁酒令酒吧

The Prohibition in the States started around 1920 and ended in the early 30s after the Great Depression hit: 禁酒令在美國始於1920年，在經濟大蕭條來襲後於30年代早期結束

Anyway, we had that law for about a decade or so: 這項法律持續了十多年

At that time, people still drank; they just had these secret bars: 但在此期間人們照樣喝酒，只不過要去地下黑酒吧喝

There were still people delivering booze to the White House: 當時甚至還有人給白宮送酒

Canada also had prohibition at the time, but it was allowed to make alcohol for export even though they weren』t able to drink it legally: 加拿大當時也禁酒，但釀酒出口並不違法，只不過不準自己喝罷了

They would export it to America where it was sold illegally: 釀酒出口到美國，然後再進行非法銷售

Mobsters made a ton of money out of this: 黑幫靠非法賣酒發了大財

Al Capone: 臭名昭著的美國黑幫頭目

Speakeasy Bars在魔都

Speakeasy bars在上海也有很多，裝修都很精緻很復古，但Spencer說有一些其實已經過氣了。

Many of the hottest bars in Shanghai are speakeasy-style bars: 現在上海最紅的就是禁酒令風格酒吧

Speakeasies have retro decorations: 禁酒令風格的酒吧裝修復古

cosmopolitan: 「大都會」是一款很經典的雞尾酒，材料有伏特加5、君度酒1、越橘汁、鮮榨青檸汁。

pina colada: 「椰林飄香」是由白朗姆酒、鳳梨汁和檸檬汁調製而成的一款雞尾酒。

They serve pre-Prohibition or Prohibition-era style cocktails: 他們做禁酒令時代及其之前時代的雞尾酒

Spencer used to be a bartender: Spencer之前當過酒保

It』s a certain type of craft cocktail: 禁酒令風格酒吧擅長「功夫」雞尾酒

禁酒令時期之後的酒文化

Along with the whole microbrewery craze over the past 10 or 15 years has been this revival of these old-style cocktails: 過去10到15年小啤酒廠的精釀啤酒一路走紅，而復古的雞尾酒也開始流行

After the Prohibition, all the way until the 70s, 80s, or even the 90s, people were drinking Budweiser, shit beer and free-pour style cocktails: 禁酒令時代過後，一直到70、80、甚至90年代，啤酒質量低下，人們都喝百威，雞尾酒也都是隨便調調的

Instead of measuring the alcohol out with little jiggers, you just pour with your hands: 酒都不用小量杯量，都直接隨手倒

The drinking culture back then was not very refined: 那是段酒文化粗野的日子

It didn』t matter how well it tasted, as long as it got you drunk: 人們不在乎酒的口味，只求喝醉

All of that goes hand in hand with the foodie culture: 酒文化的復興和吃貨文化的崛起緊密相連

The microbeers, the craft cocktails and good food…Who can blame them really?: 精釀啤酒、「功夫」雞尾酒、美食……這些誰不愛呢

If anything』s worth doing, it』s worth doing right: 既然做一件事就應該把它做好

consumer upgrade: 消費升級
