朋友聚餐,家人聚會,工作應酬
很多時候都會喝上兩三杯
紅酒、白酒、黃酒...
不管是哪種
總之肯定缺不了酒
我們中文中說“酒”
是各種酒類的總稱
英文中也有這樣一個詞
但不是你最熟的“wine”
酒???
“酒”的英文
首先要說的是
英文中酒的總稱是alcohol
而wine指的是“酒”當中的一種-葡萄酒
有很多同學把wine等同于“酒”,
你喝酒嗎?
Do you drink wine? ×
這么說是錯的!
alcohol
我們都知道alcohol是“酒精”的意思,作為一種飲品,alcohol則泛指所有含有酒精的飲料 alcoholic drink (or alcoholic beverage)
Alcoholic drinks are typically divided into three classes beers, wines, and spirits and typically their alcohol content is between 3% and 50%.
酒精飲料通常分為三類:啤酒、葡萄酒和烈性酒,酒精含量一般在3%到50%之間。
Beer is a beverage fermented from grain mash. It is typically made from barley or a blend of several grains and flavored with hops. Most beer is naturally carbonated as part of the fermentation process. If the fermented mash is distilled, then the drink becomes a spirit.
啤酒是由谷糠發(fā)酵而成的飲料。它通常由大麥或幾種谷物混合而成,用啤酒花調味。大多數啤酒是在發(fā)酵過程中自然碳化的。如果發(fā)酵的麥芽汁被蒸餾,那么這種飲料就變成了烈酒。
Wine is a fermented beverage produced from grapes and sometimes other fruits. Wine involves a longer fermentation process than beer and a long aging process (months or years), resulting in an alcohol content of 9%–16% ABV.
葡萄酒是一種發(fā)酵飲料,由葡萄或其他水果制成。葡萄酒的發(fā)酵過程比啤酒要長,陳釀過程也要長(數月或數年),因此酒精含量為9%-16% ABV。
例:
He's addictive to alcohol.
他對酒上癮了。
Because of alcoholic allergy, I couldn't drink too much, far away from the point of getting drunk.
因為天生酒精過敏,我不能喝很多酒,更別提喝醉了。
