酒≠wine！別再把酒說成wine了

很多時候都會喝上兩三杯

紅酒、白酒、黃酒...

不管是哪種

?總之肯定缺不了酒

我們中文中說“酒”

是各種酒類的總稱

英文中也有這樣一個詞

但不是你最熟的“wine”

“酒”的英文

首先要說的是

英文中酒的總稱是alcohol

而wine指的是“酒”當中的一種-葡萄酒

有很多同學把wine等同于“酒”，

你喝酒嗎?

Do you drink wine? ×

這么說是錯的!

alcohol

我們都知道alcohol是“酒精”的意思，作為一種飲品，alcohol則泛指所有含有酒精的飲料 alcoholic drink (or alcoholic beverage)

Alcoholic drinks are typically divided into three classes beers, wines, and spirits and typically their alcohol content is between 3% and 50%.

酒精飲料通常分為三類：啤酒、葡萄酒和烈性酒，酒精含量一般在3%到50%之間。

Beer is a beverage fermented from grain mash. It is typically made from barley or a blend of several grains and flavored with hops. Most beer is naturally carbonated as part of the fermentation process. If the fermented mash is distilled, then the drink becomes a spirit.

啤酒是由谷糠發(fā)酵而成的飲料。它通常由大麥或幾種谷物混合而成，用啤酒花調(diào)味。大多數(shù)啤酒是在發(fā)酵過程中自然碳化的。如果發(fā)酵的麥芽汁被蒸餾，那么這種飲料就變成了烈酒。

Wine is a fermented beverage produced from grapes and sometimes other fruits. Wine involves a longer fermentation process than beer and a long aging process (months or years), resulting in an alcohol content of 9%–16% ABV.

葡萄酒是一種發(fā)酵飲料，由葡萄或其他水果制成。葡萄酒的發(fā)酵過程比啤酒要長，陳釀過程也要長(數(shù)月或數(shù)年)，因此酒精含量為9%-16% ABV。

例：

He's addictive to alcohol.

他對酒上癮了。

Because of alcoholic allergy, I couldn't drink too much, far away from the point of getting drunk.

因為天生酒精過敏，我不能喝很多酒，更別提喝醉了。
