1.BYOB是英语Bring Your Own Beer的首字母缩写。由于国外的酒很贵(4到5美元或加元),因此人们会自带酒水,在国外外时可要当心,别轻易向别人要烟或酒,弄不好就会被别人当成Social smoker或Social drinker,就是那些自己不带烟或不买酒,却总是向别人要的那种人。
2.Drinking games,国外的drinking games和国内可不一样,有一种游戏是互相问问题,不管多尴尬都要回答,甚至有人会问你:Who did you sleep with last night?
3.Pick up hot chicks中文的直译是泡妞。hot chicks是男孩对女孩的称呼,尤其是漂亮女孩儿。男孩儿们更常说的是"Let's go to the bar and pick up some hot chicks。"绝对地道。
4.hit the bars不要被hit这个词迷惑,hit the bar在这里就是指去泡吧,hit就是go to的意思。另外还有几个跟hit有关的用法,也很常用,比如hit the road表示Let's go. hit the book表示Let's study. hit the sack表示Go to bed.
5.Party animal表示聚会迷,需要注意的是animal表达这种含义时,仅用于这种情况,千万别自创出什么movie animal来,那就出笑话了.
