* Pub culture of UK If you havent been to a pub, you havent been to Britain Almost every pub’ name has a story behind it and ,together，they illustrate（说明）the social history of England. With names enduring（持续） for centuries it is possible that the sign above the door is as old as the pleasure of drinking itself. 几乎每个名字背后都有一段故事。将这些各式各样的名字和故事综合起来，就是英国社会历史的浓缩和积淀。 既然酒吧的名字能够流传数百年，那么酒吧门上方挂着的招牌大概也与喝酒本身的乐趣一样，历史悠久，源远流长。 Any pub called the Cock Inn or the Cock Pit would once have been a venue（场所） for cock fighting. Many of the landlords want to show allegiance （忠诚 ）to the monarch（君主 ） and hastily adopted titles like the King’s Head or the Crown.

You could also hold an empty glass or some money, but do not wave them about. Do adopt an expectant（期待的 ）, hopeful, even slightly anxious facial expression. If you look too contented and complacent（满足的 ）, the bar staff may assume you are already being served 关键是你要让酒保看见你。你可以举起空杯子或钱，可不要摇晃。你脸上可以流露等待、期望，甚至略带焦急的表情。你如果显得太心满意足的样子，酒保会认为他们已经为你提供
