Tips in a British Pub

英国酒吧的礼仪

A pub［ ］(酒吧） is a place where you can buy drinks in UK. How can you attract attention of the bar［ ］staff［ ］(酒吧服务员) to serve you in a crowded pub without insult［ ］(冒犯) them? Here are some tips［ ］(建议) for you. Do not call out or wave your arms like a drowning swimmer. Do not show your bad mood by waving your empty glass. The key thing is to catch the bar worker’s eyes. Do show a hopeful, even a little anxious［ ］(焦急的) facial expression［ ］(表情). If you look too contented［ ］（满意的）, the bar staff may think you are already being served.

Try to remember some bar staff’s pet［ ］hates ［ ］(恨之入骨). They do not like people taking a long time to make up which drinks to buy when there are a lot of people waiting for service. At the same time, never give the bar staff a tip［ ］(小费) in cash［ ］（现金）, which would be a reminder［ ］（提醒人的事物）of their service role, whereas you buy a drink for them is the right and friendly way.

参考译文：

英国酒吧的礼仪

酒吧是指提供酒水饮品的场所。在英国，如果你走进一家酒吧，发现里面已是宾客如云、高朋满座，如何引起酒吧服务员的注意，来为你服务，而又避免冒犯他人的举止呢？有下面几条建议。不要大声嚷嚷，也不要像溺水的人那样挥动手臂。不要一边绷着脸，一边摇晃你那空空如也的酒杯。关键是你要让酒吧服务员看见你。你脸上可以流露期望，甚至略带焦急的表情。你如果显得太心满意足的样子，酒吧服务员会认为他们已经为你提供服务了。

要尽量记住一些英国酒吧服务员最讨厌的事。他们不喜欢酒客拿不定主意而让别人等着，也不喜欢客人给他们现金当做小费。因为现金小费会使人想到他们是伺候人的，而正确而又表示友好的的做法是请酒吧服务员喝一盅。
