元旦袭来：去夜店还是去血拼

这个周末你打算怎么消遣呢？泡夜店还是血拼？今天我们就讲讲形容这两类人的两个词语——pub crawl 和 mall rat。

pub crawl

Crawl 的意思是爬，那么爬酒吧又是什么意思呢？

不论单身与否，泡吧是许多人最喜欢的娱乐活动。去酒吧的话，有的人prefer to stay in one place，而有些人则喜欢go to more than one pub on a night out。一晚上去好多酒吧，每个酒吧都坐上一会儿，然后再去其它酒吧，我们管这种在酒吧间串来串去的行为就叫做pub crawl。

Pub crawl 起源于19世纪，它也可以叫做a gin crawl 或是bar-hopping. It is the social act of a group of people drinking in a number of pubs in a single night。

The tradition of pub crawl is to walk from pub to pub with designated tee shirts for the bartenders to sign to show they were there. A new trend in this social networking is where the pub crawlers have anyone they meet also sign their shirts, kind of like a myspace friends network with ink and cloth.

至于用法上，你可以说we're going on a pub crawl 或是we're doing a pub crawl。

对话：

A: What are you doing on Saturday then?

B: I'm going on a pub crawl in town with some friends。

Do you enjoy pub crawls? Have you ever been on a pub crawl? 如果你没串过酒吧，为什么不试试呢？mall rat

Mall就是购物中心，rat就是老鼠。Mall rat当然并非真的指一种老鼠，它是指年轻人像老鼠那样在mall里钻来钻去。
