@craigrut,我最喜欢的酒也是杰克丹尼可乐！！！不过，那天我试了一下威士忌sour，用的是Bourbon 威士忌，非常非常好喝。刚喝一口就醉了，不是因为喝酒喝醉了，是因为太喜欢心醉了 :) 不知道你有没有试过，如果你喜欢威士忌可乐，应该也会喜欢威士忌sour。下面有一些常用的鸡尾酒名字：Gin Tonic 金汤力Baileys 百利甜Mojito 莫西多Cuba Libre 自由古巴Bloody Mary 血腥玛莉Singapore Sling 新加坡司令White Russia 白俄罗斯Long Island Iced Tea 长岛冰茶Vodka Red Bull 伏特加红牛 (this is probably very Chinese)Sex on the Beach 性感沙滩Cosmopolitain 大都会Screwdriver 螺丝刀@masterchinese,For some reason, I've never tried or even heard of those cocktails you recommended. Where can I find them? :)--Echoecho@popupchinese.com
@Echo威士忌sour也很好喝，但是有太多糖。如果我喝几瓶的我肚子就疼死了。其实，在美国Vodka Red Bull也很著名。凌晨两点左右很多人喝那样的drink太困了但是不要回家。
Haha, I am going to add a third, I've never heard of any of those drinks MasterChinese. I've heard of Sex on the Beach, maybe that's Sex in the Dunes. the rest of them, nope!Thanks for the lists everyone :).
@Craigrut,晕了，我怎么能记得那么多酒的名字？更何况什么时候才可以运用这些单词？对我来说只有威士忌，红酒和中国白酒才好喝。我第一次喝的白酒我接受不了那个味道，实在太辣了，辣死我了！而现在呢？我觉得一闻到辣酒的味道就想喝一口正宗的白酒。能喝一杯茅台喝得最爽啊！
@xiao hu,茅台最好喝啦～用一个小烧杯盛着，客人每个人手边摆一个只能装一口酒的小杯子，要喝就倒满，然后一口喝下去，酒就像小球一样滚到嗓子里了。反而茅台的酒不是很辣,而且喝过以后绝对不头疼。--Amberamber@popupchinese.com
How about saying 传统？I know it means "traditional", but depending on context, could you use them interchangebly?
Oh i see. 过时 means only "outdated", and 传统 "traditional"， right? The thing is, in English the word "old fashioned" can be synonymous with both "outdated" and "traditional". However, "outdated" has a negative connotation, whereas "traditional" can be expressed as either negative or positive, depending on context； so I think to it's difficult to translate "old fashioned" into Chinese accurately without context.
@华金，Yes, in Chinese 过时 is negative. 传统 can be both.--Echoecho@popupchinese.com
啊， 我懂了。 那这个句子你会用哪个词呢？他认为女生都不应该工作，反倒她们是必须呆在家里养孩子和做饭的。他是非常...的。对了，这个不是我自己的看法，far from it! （actually, how do you say "far from it" in Chinese）:)
@华金，哈哈哈，我会说他非常“大男子主义” （He's a masculinist)。也可以说，他的想法“过时了”（不能说一个人“过时了”）。In your sentence, "far from it" can be 完全不是.--Echoecho@popupchinese.com
不过,我的意思是"old fashion"是一个鸡尾酒，也是过时吗？不知道你有没有看到 “广告狂人” “Mad Med”， 他们的演员之一”Donald Drapper”常常点的鸡尾酒是一个“过时” 哈哈 可以说吗？
