释义

名词

酒吧里的服务员，为客人提供饮料与调酒。

DEFINITION

Noun

Service staff in a bar who provides and mixes drinks for customers.

由来
  • 英语 “bartender” 的意译。
  • 酒保的工作主要为调制鸡尾酒，以及在一些场合下进行花式调酒。花式调酒时，酒保会将酒杯或调酒器不停地抛转或舞动，而这类高难度动作能够带给客人一些娱乐。
  • 酒保一般上需要背熟各种鸡尾酒的配方，并在满足客人的要求及不浪费多余酒精的情况下，快速为客人呈上酒饮。
  • 除了调酒，酒保的工作也包括为客人结账、操作收银台、清洁场地等。
  • 现今酒保除了负责主要的调酒工作，也会试着与每一位客人沟通，以便更好地为他们服务。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “酒保” is a paraphrase of the English term “bartender”.
  • The bartender’s main job is mixing cocktails and performing flair bartending on certain occasions. During flair bartending, the bartender will constantly toss, spin or manipulate alcohol glasses or cocktail shakers, and these challenging manoeuvres provide entertainment to the guests.
  • Generally, the bartender needs to memorise the recipes of various cocktails and quickly serve the drinks to guests without wasting excess alcohol.
  • In addition to mixing drinks, the bartender’s job also includes settling the bill for guests, operating the cash register, and cleaning the establishment.
  • Nowadays, other than their main responsibility of mixing drinks, the bartender also tries to communicate with every guest to provide better service.

 

例句

SAMPLE SENTENCE
The bartender pours the ingredients into the cocktail shaker, secures it on the cocktail shaker machine, and rapidly rotates the wheel which in turn moves the cocktail shaker in an ellipse.
