今天的這段對話，在討論酒吧，
 
老鷹酒吧史上發(fā)生過哪些趣事？為什么會被劍橋市議會指控
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: I often go to pubs and I drink beer，chat with my friends and watch the show there. I quite enjoy going to pubs. Do you have any recommendation?
 
我經(jīng)常去酒吧，我在那兒喝酒、聊天、看演出。我很喜歡去酒吧，你有什么推薦的地方嗎？
 
B: I think you should go to Cambridge, then. The small city is the house of about 200 pubs. And there are so many interesting pubs in the University of Cambridge.
 
那么我想你應(yīng)該去劍橋，那個小城有200多家酒吧，并且劍橋大學(xué)里還有很多有意思的酒吧。
 
A: I heard that the students in Cambridge like drinking and some of them even go to binge drinking.
 
我聽說劍橋大學(xué)的學(xué)生們喜歡喝酒，一些學(xué)生甚至還酗酒。
 
B: That’s because they are so stressful due to intensive courses and hard exams. Students like to go to drinking societies and pubs around the campus.
 
那是因為他們課程太多、考試太難、壓力太大了。他們喜歡去飲酒社團和校園里的酒吧。
 
A: My friend said that she once went to the Eagle Pub and it’s really nice.
 
我朋友說過她曾去過老鷹酒吧，感覺很好。
 
B: Yeah. If you are looking for a pub that is historically fascinating, conveniently placed and large, then this is the one for you.
 
是啊。如果你想尋找一個有歷史魅力、交通便利且寬敞的酒吧，那么老鷹酒吧就是最佳選擇。
 
A: The Eagle Pub has a long and interesting history. First opened in 1667 during the era of the Great Fire of London and the Black Death, it was originally a coaching inn.
 
老鷹酒吧歷史悠久，史上還發(fā)生過不少趣事。當(dāng)它在倫敦大火和黑死?。ㄊ笠撸┧僚皶r期的1667年開放時，它只是一個車站酒館。
 
B: During the Second World War, it was particularly popular with the air men  stationed on the airfields dotted around the city.
 
二戰(zhàn)期間，它頗受駐扎在劍橋附近飛機場的飛行員的歡迎。
 
A: According to the newspaper, if you take a look at the RAF bar out the back, you can still see graffiti on the ceiling, made by the RAF and US aircrews who scorched their names with candles and cigarette lighters.
 
據(jù)報紙報道，如果你參觀老鷹酒吧后面的英國皇家空軍吧臺，你還可以看到天花板上的涂鴉，這些涂鴉是英國皇家空軍和美國機組人員的名字，是他們用蠟燭和打火機在天花板上燒制的。
 
B: And it stands as clear proof of Cambridge as a place of innovation. It was in this very pub, on the 28 February 1953, that Cambridge scientists James Watson and Francis Crick first announced they had discovered “secret of life”.
 
而且老鷹酒吧還是劍橋大學(xué)作為創(chuàng)新基地的有力證明。1953年2月28號，正是在這個酒吧，劍橋大學(xué)的科學(xué)家詹姆斯沃森和弗朗西斯克里克首次宣布他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了 "生命的秘密”。
 
A:“Secret of life”？ You mean DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid?
 
"生命的秘密？ ”你指的是DNA (脫氧核糖核酸），是嗎？
 
B: Yes. When the University of Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory was still at its old site nearby Free School Lane, the pub was a popular lunch destination for staff working there.
 
是的。那時劍橋大學(xué)的卡文迪什實驗室還位于自由學(xué)院路（靠近該酒吧）附近的舊址，實驗室的工作人員都喜歡去老鷹酒吧吃午餐。
 
A: Oh, I see, so it became the place where Francis Crick and James Watson often visited.
 
哦，我知道了，所以老鷹酒吧也就是弗朗西斯克里克和詹姆斯沃森經(jīng)常光顧的地方。
 
B: But just do not expect good beer or good food at the Eagle Pub.
 
但是不要期待這個酒吧有爽口的啤酒和美味的食物。
 
A: Eagle Pub was prosecuted by Cambridge City Council for alleged poor food hygiene standards.
 
老鷹酒吧被劍橋市議會指控，市議會宣稱其食物衛(wèi)生標(biāo)準(zhǔn)低。
 
B: The charges, all of which related to May 2008， included accusations  that the pub did not provide soap for customers to wash their hands with in the bathrooms, and that the equipment used to prepare food was not sufficiently cleaned or disinfected.
 
指控是在2008年5月提出的，包括酒吧在洗手間里不提供香皂，顧客無法洗手，烹制食物的廚具設(shè)有清洗或消毒干凈等等。
 
A: As well as this the pub was accused of leaving windows open allowing flies to enter and failing to store raw meat in hygienic conditions.
 
酒吧還被指控不關(guān)窗戶，從而蠅蟲亂飛，并且在不衛(wèi)生的情況下保存生肉。
 
B: I’m so sorry to hear that, because Eagle Pub is a part of Cambridge’s heritage, dating back to Tudor limes when it served as a coaching inn in the 17th Century.
 
很遺憾聽到這些，因為老鷹酒吧是劍橋大學(xué)的遺產(chǎn)，早在17世紀(jì)的都鐸王朝時期，它就作為一個車站酒館存在了。
 
A: I’m not happy to hear that, too. It was popular among students and tourists alike.
 
聽到這些，我也開心不起來，因為它曾在學(xué)生和游客當(dāng)中廣受好評。
 
B: A girl said online that she often pops in the Eagle Pub as it’s close to her work. But she can assure people that convenience is the only draw.
 
女孩在網(wǎng)上說，因為老鷹酒吧離她工作的地方近，所以她經(jīng)常光顧，但是她能向大家保證，"便利”是這家酒吧吸引人的唯一地方。
