Fail to consume a vodka shot in one gulp in Russia, and your host will not be impressed. Refill your own wine glass in France without offering more to the rest of the table, and youve made a faux pas. In South Korea, women can pour only mens drinks-not other womens-and if you want a refill, you need to drain your glass. And if youre in Latin America, never pour with your left hand-thats bad luck.不同文化的饮酒礼仪也迥异。在俄罗斯，你若不能一口喝完杯中的伏特加酒，主人就会很不满意。而在法国，只给自己添酒而不顾及同桌的其他客人，会被看作失礼。在韩国，女性只能给男性倒酒不能为其他女性倒酒如果你想添酒，要先把杯里的酒喝干。在拉丁美洲，千万不要用左手倒酒那会带来坏运气。What You Should Do Instead: Until youre culturally fluent, leave it to your pals to pour.对策：除非你对当地文化了如指掌，倒酒这种活儿还是留给你的同伴吧！英文里还有和饮酒相关的，有趣且实用的说法：1 quit drinking 戒酒想表达“滴酒不沾”的意思，可以说：I dont want to drink anything with alcohol，千万别说成：I dont want to drink anything，否则别人可能误以为你连水、咖啡和果汁都不喝了。2 借酒浇愁想表达“借酒浇愁”的时候可以说：My wife drives me to drink 我的太太逼得我借酒消愁。3 再来一杯如果你已经点了一杯酒，但后来又想点二杯，你就可以说：Make it two. 或者Make that a double, please. 这里的make 是不是既简单又生动?4 喝醉了喝醉的人很少会承认自己喝醉，他们总是喜欢说：Lets go bar-hopping. 咱们再喝一轮。Lets drink till we drop. 一醉方休。 I am still sober. 我很清醒。要是你想强调自己非常清醒的话，则可以说：I am stone sober. 或是I am cold sober。如果要说自己醉了的话，就是：I am drunk. 俚语的说法可以把 drunk 换成afloat, all at sea, bashed, belted 或是 boozed。还有一个跟醉酒有关的词叫 hangover宿醉，也就是指喝醉酒后隔天早上醒来头痛等等的症状。PresidentoftheIOCfrom1952to1972:AveryBrundageBorninDetroit，Michigan，on28September1887，MrAveryBrundagegraduatedfromtheUniversityofIllinoisin1909withadegreeincivilengineering，magnacumlaude.Inadditiontobeingabrilliantstudent，hedistinguishedhimselfinathletics.Withoutneglectinghissportscareer，hethenwentintobusinessandin1915foundedtheAveryBrundageCompanyBuilders(1915-1947)whichconstructedanumberofbigbuildingsandskyscrapersaroundChicago.HerepresentedhiscountryattheGamesoftheVOlympiadinStockholmin1912，andwasthreetimesamateurall-roundchampionoftheUnitedStates，aspecialitysimilartothedecathlon.Afterretiringfromactivecompetition，hebecameinterestedintheadministrativesideofsport，occupyingthepostsofPresidentoftheAmateurAthleticsUnionoftheUnitedStates(seventermsofoffice)，PresidentoftheUnitedStatesOlympicCommitteefortwenty-fiveyears(1929-1953)，PresidentofthePan-AmericanGamesAssociation(PASO)，etc.AfterbecomingamemberoftheIOCin1936，andVice-Presidentin1945，in1952hewaselectedPresidentandwatchedoverthedestinyoftheOlympicMovementuntil1972becomingLifeHonoraryPresidentfrom1972to1975.Agreatadvocateofamateurism，hewastheauthorofmanyarticlesonamateursportandtheOlympicMovement.Duringhisfrequentjourneysallovertheworld，MrAveryBrundageamassedoneofthefinestandlar
