How about a drink?
去喝一杯怎么样？
drink, 大家都知道是"喝"的意思, 但是具体喝什么呢？我们常常会这样问:
"Do you want to drink something?"
表面上看是:
"你想喝点什么?" (想喝可乐啊, 雪碧啊, 开水啊还是其他什么)
但在外国人理解, 这句话就等于问他:
"要不要喝点(带有酒精成分)的东西"~也就是"要不要喝杯酒？"
在英文当中, a drink或者to drink是指含酒精的饮料。
比如:
How about a drink?去喝一杯怎么样?Do you want to drink something,wine or something？要不要喝一杯, 红酒还是别的？注意:
外国人在说"drink something"的时候，他们指的是"喝酒"！而"something to drink"就可以表示"喝点什么"了。
所以, 问别人"想喝什么"的正确表达应该是:
Would you like something to drink?Can I offer you something to drink?drink在口语中代指了酒精饮料，但是drink加了s就是饮料了！等于soft drinks！
接下来我们了解一些与"drink"相关的表达:
在英语里, drink 只用在"喝"饮品上, 特指用杯子一类的东西把饮品倒进嘴里喝下去, 不需要汤匙。
比如:
"喝茶" drink tea
"喝水" drink water
"喝酒" drink wine
"喝牛奶" drink milk
"喝果汁" drink juice
"喝咖啡" drink coffee
