Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Jo and with me today is Lily.
Lily: Hello. 歡迎收聽BBC 的地道英語節目,在這里你能學到不少字典上查不到的常用表達。Jo 那今天的新語詞是什么?
Jo: Well, in this programme, we're going to look at the expression pub P.U.B. crawl C.R.A.W.L.- 'pub crawl'.
Lily: Hmmm 我了解 crawl 意思是爬 可是爬夜店又的意思是呢?
Jo: Well it doesn't mean that exactly but almost. In the UK in particular as you may know, going to the pub is a very common thing to do. However people don't always go to one pub in one night.
Lily: Ah, so you might go to more than one pub on a night out?
Jo: Yes that's right, especially on the weekend. You might go to a specific area of a town and go to a few pubs in one night. We would call that a pub crawl.
Lily: 如何用這個短語呢 Jo?
Jo: Well, you might say we're going on a pub crawl, or were doing a pub crawl. Here's another example.
Example
A: What are you doing on Saturday then?
B: I'm going on a pub crawl in town with some friends.
Jo: In town of course means in the town centre. So have you ever been on a pub crawl Lily?
Lily: Never, but now I am tempted1. How about you Jo do you enjoy pub crawls?
Jo: Well, when I was younger as a student, I used to do them all the time but now I prefer to stay in one place!
