See David Cameron and Xi Jinping Gabbing Over a Pint and Some Fish and Chips
卡梅倫與習(xí)近平把酒暢談 品嘗炸魚薯?xiàng)l

After a visit to the Prime Minister's country estate, Chequers, Cameron took Xi to the Plough at Cadsden, a pub in the English county of Buckinghamshire, to enjoy the traditional British fodder and exchange stories, including one about Cameron accidentally leaving his 8-year-old daughter behind in the pub in 2012, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).
契克斯莊園會(huì)晤結(jié)束后，卡梅倫帶習(xí)近平前往位于白金漢郡卡茲頓的英國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村酒吧“犁”，邊品嘗該國(guó)傳統(tǒng)小吃邊閑聊。據(jù)法新社報(bào)道，閑談間，卡梅倫還說(shuō)起2012年自己曾不小心將8歲的女兒丟在酒吧的糗事。

Language Tips：

Gab作動(dòng)詞指“以非正式的形式聊了很多不重要或不嚴(yán)肅的內(nèi)容”(to talk a lot in an informal way about things that are not important or serious)，多用于口語(yǔ)。Exchange stories與這個(gè)詞所表達(dá)的意思頗為相近，也是指“閑聊、閑談”的意思?？纯纯穫惲牡膬?nèi)容，都是些家長(zhǎng)里短，確實(shí)是既不重要也不嚴(yán)肅。不過(guò)這也說(shuō)明英相大人顯然沒(méi)把“大大”當(dāng)外人，連自己曾經(jīng)犯暈干過(guò)的糗事都毫無(wú)保留地說(shuō)了出來(lái)。

這次兩國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的這一活動(dòng)里其實(shí)暗含一個(gè)文化?！瓢赏饨?。其實(shí)赴吧小酌并非卡梅倫獨(dú)創(chuàng)，歷任英國(guó)首相都很喜歡在傳統(tǒng)酒吧里招待客人，英國(guó)媒體為此還專門給這種行為取了個(gè)名字——“酒吧外交”。除了“大大”，卡梅倫此前還曾和法國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧朗德“泡過(guò)吧”，另外，前任首相布萊爾也在美國(guó)總統(tǒng)小布什和法國(guó)前總統(tǒng)希拉克訪英時(shí)，也曾邀他們?nèi)ミ^(guò)當(dāng)?shù)鼐瓢烧勌煺f(shuō)地、把酒言歡。
