平日里工作节奏紧张、竞争压力巨大, 一周高强度工作之后,周末约上三五好友去酒吧散散心可能是最好的方式之一了。今天我们就来学习一些社交场合中常常要用到的酒吧英语。先来看几句很实用的句子
1. Do you have any plans for this weekend?
《白领英语900句》周末打算怎么过?这可以成为你发出invitation的一个开头。如果对方说没有,那就可以用Shall we...... Why not...... What about......Let's等发出一系列的邀请了。如果周末已经过了,想问对方周末过得如何,就问How was your weekend?
2. We need to relax. Let's hit the bars.
《白领英语900句》我们需要好好放松一下。我们一起去打酒吧?No, no ,no~这里的hit the bar不是打酒吧的意思,而是我们嘴里常说的泡吧。hit是个很有用的词,如果对方跟你说hit me again。你可千万不要误会成对方叫你打他一拳。hit me again就是"再给我一杯"的意思
3. Give me a scotch on the rocks.
《白领英语900句》给我杯加冰的苏格兰威士忌。Rocks就是"冰块",on the rocks就是"加冰的"。喝Scotch
时可以净饮,也可以加水、加苏打水或加冰块。
