阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A fun way to learn about the people in the destinations you travel to around the globe is to drop into a friendly local bar off the beaten tourist track and enjoy a sip of something the region is famous for.To help you have fun,we’ve rounded up how to say “Cheers!” around the world.
Who doesn’t dream of living the good life in France?The food alone is well worth the trip since the French basically invented fine cuisine.They also invented a little golden liquid called the Champagne!Just before your first sip,look at your friends in the eyes and simply say their “cheers”:avotresante!
Is it just us,or is the Italian treat called prosecco sweeping the nation by storm?It’s lovely anytime:brunch,to celebrate something,or just to slowly sip while catching up with a dear friend.It originated in Italy’s Veneto region but is now available all over the world.When in Italy,the most common toast is “salute” or “cincin”(pronounced ChinChin),which has its origins in China.However,do not use this as a toast in Japan.It is what could get you kicked out of a bar or possibly the entire country.If you find yourself in Japan,stick with “Kampai!”which means,“Cheers!”
If you haven’t been to Ireland—what are you waiting for?It’s the friendliest place,and one of the funniest on the planet,and the pubs are full of stories,where locals and visitors gather to lift a glass of Guinnessor.The Irish language can be a bit tricky for visitors to grasp but,again,practice makes perfect.Simply say,“SlainteItsw,”pronounced Slawn(to rhyme with pawn) cha(as in cha cha cha).Bottoms up!
