Going to pubs is a very popular leisure-time activity . In a recent survey seven out often adults said they went to pubs, one third of them once a week or more often. 去酒吧是一项非常流行的休闲活动。最近的一项调查显示7/10的成年人表示他们会去酒吧，1/3的人每周去一次或者更多。 Everywhere there are plenty of pubs, in which people play darts, talk and drink, usually while standing up. Every pub has its name, its sign and its regulars , its customers who turn up night after night. A few old pubs have real character but many are dull and ugly. It seems that the English think it rather indecent for people to drink alcoholic drinks in any place where they can be seen from outside. So pubs usually not only have no tables outside, but are so built that it is impossible for people outside to see in,or for those who are inside to see out. There are exceptions to this, but not many. 酒吧在英国随处可见。人们在那里站着玩飞镖、聊天或者喝酒。每个酒店都有自己的名字、自己的招牌和 常客竹(即那些每个晚上都会光顾的客人)。一些老店很有特色，但多数却是既无聊又丑陋。英国人似乎认为，在任何一个从外面看得见的地方喝酒都是件不体面的事。所以，这里的酒吧不仅外面不设桌子，而且它的建筑结构使你既不能从外面看到里面，也不能从里面看到外面。当然，这也有一些例外，但不多。 |
