英國酒客的舉止
British Pub-customer's Manner英國酒客的舉止
So now you have a drink, but what about meeting the locals? Pub-goers will indicate in unspoken ways if they are interested in chatting. Concentrate on those who have bought drinks and are still loitering at the bar. Those who have moved to sit at tables are probably not seeking company. Look for people with “open” body language, facing outwards into the room. Don' t ever introduce yourself with an outstretched hand and a big smile. Natives will cringe and squirm with embarrassment at such brashness. The British, quite frankly, do not want to know your name and shake your hand--or at least not until a proper degree of mutual interest has been well established （like maybe when you marry their daughter）。
好，你現在喝上酒了，那又怎么和當地人接觸呢？上酒吧的人如果有興趣交談的話，會用非言語方式表現出來。注意那些已經買了酒可還在吧臺前晃蕩的人。那些已經離開吧臺，找到椅子坐下的人可能只想獨斟。找那些臉朝外，朝屋里人看，用形體語言表示“可接觸”的人。千萬不要伸出手來笑容滿面地自我介紹。對于這種輕率魯莽，當地人會因尷尬而戰戰兢兢。坐立不安。坦率地說，英國人不想知道你的姓名，也不想跟你握手--至少在相互間尚未形成某種共同利益（譬如當你娶他們的女兒為妻）之前不會。
Talk generally about the weather, the beer or the pub and at an appropriate moment, offer to your newfound companion a drink. This exchange is key to feeling part of the pub crowd and thereby getting to know more about Britain than its tourists spots. The ritual of sharing--buying rounds of drinks in turn--is of great significance. This is because the British male is frightened of intimacy, finds it difficult to express friendly interest in other males and can be somewhat aggressive in his manner.
可以跟人泛泛地談天氣，談啤酒，或者談所在的酒吧。在適當的時刻主動提出給你新找到的同伴買酒。這種相互請酒是感受自己是酒吧群體中一員的關鍵作法，從而可以更多了解旅游點以外的英國。輪流買酒分擔費用的習俗有它重要意義。這是因為英國男人害怕親密，他們對其他男性表示友好有困難，舉止行為上多少有可能不甚和善。
If you are having British friends or business contracts, one of your hosts will probably buy the first round, but you should be quick to offer the next. The right time to offer to buy a drink is when their glasses are still a quarter full. The line of “It's my round--What are you having?” may not be in your phrase book, but it is one of the most useful sentences in the English language.
你如果和英國朋友在一起或者在洽談商業合同，接待你的主人中有一位可能買第一輪酒，而你應該很快表示買下一輪的。在對方杯子里的酒還剩下四分之一時，就是你該提出買酒的時候了。“這輪由我買--你喝的是什么？這句話在你的英語小冊子里可能沒有，但它卻是英國語言中非常有用的一句話。
