生活英语|happy hour 打折时段

来源:www.qichewo.com 2024-12-06

Happy hour从字面上看意思显然是快乐时光。这个歌说法起来自于四十多年前纽约的一家夜店。一天店主在玻璃橱窗上贴了一张广告说,这家夜店把天天下午五点到六点定为happy hour。在这期间,半价供应饮料,而这个时候间段正是大家离开办公室回家的时候。这张happy hour广告立即吸引了街上熙来攘往的人群。这家夜店立刻买卖兴隆,而其它夜店和餐馆看后也争相仿效,不久之后happy hour这股风吹到别的城市甚至其它国家,有些地方还把happy hour从五点延长到七点,长达两小时。所以happy hour就指饮食店为了吸引客户而提供减价饮料和小吃的时段。

例句:

The food in that new Italian restaurant across the street is pretty good, but business is slow. So they've started a happy hour in the hope people will stay on and order dinner.

街对面的那家意大利饭店饭菜味道很好,但买卖并不红火。所以他们开始在下午实行打折时段的方法来招徕客户,并期望那些客户会继续留下来吃晚饭。

客户在工作之余的happy hour喝喝饮料,聊聊闲天,舒心之极。有的店在happy hour甚至还为喝饮料的客户免费提供点心,这一来客户就更是开心了。

Let's go to that bar1 on the corner for happy hour after work. One beer is always enough for me, but I love those little spicy2 meat balls and other snacks they put on the table free.

大家下班后去拐角上那家夜店喝一杯吧,那时候正好是打折时段。其实我喝一杯啤酒已经足够,但我非常喜欢放在桌上的那些免费提供的香喷喷的小肉丸子和其它点心。
