文化知识空投坊:

美国各色Party具体习惯

让我们了解一下各种聚会的具体习惯,细细品味中西文化的差异。我们对生日宴会、结婚宴会、同学聚会、家庭宴会、除夕酒会、欢迎宴会、告别宴会、英语晚会、舞会、读书会等等这些聚会都很熟悉。下面我们看看美国的其他聚会(party)。

1.鸡尾酒会cocktail party

这种聚会常在下午三至四时,或五至七时举行。客人可以晚到或早来,来去自比较方便。人们常将几种酒掺在一起喝,好像公鸡美丽的尾巴,故得此名。

2.野炊聚会Picnic Party(cook-out party或cook-outs)

野餐是美国人最喜欢的活动之一。除hot dog和hamburger需要火烤外,一般都吃冷食。全家人或几家人带上炊具、食物到野外边烧边吃边聊天,别有一番情趣。通常家里有人过生日时,或为朋友的生日、荣誉或成就庆祝时举行,用餐后还就地举行一些小型活动以资余兴。
