1--Good evening,Mr. Frank. Bourbon on the rocks?
2--No. This time I'll try Chinese wine.
1--What about Mao Tai,one of the most famous liquors in China? It's good indeed. It never goes to the head.
2--Do people here drink a’lot of liquors?
1--Some do,some don't.Many people in the North are fond of liquors. I think it has something to do with the climate.
2--Yes,it has. Some Mexicans are crazy. They drink a lot of liquors even on hot days. Have you ever heard of "Tequila Sauza"?
1--Yes,it's a very well-known kind of spirits in Mexico. People drink it with salt and lemon.
2--Right. It's very strong,just like alcohol.(Frank sips Mao Tai.)
2--Oh,it's good. Are there any other famous Chinese liquors?
1--Yes,besides Mao Tai,we have Wu Liang Ye,Fen Jiu and so on.
2--They say that Shaoxing wine tastes quite good. What's it?
1--It's rice wine,a kind of still wine,somewhat like Japanese Sake. Shaoxing is a city in China.
2--I see.
1--By the way,we also have some good red wine and white wine,such as Great Wall White Wine.
2--Thank you for telling me so much,I'll try them next time.
1--I'm always at your service.

1--弗兰克先生,晚上好。来杯加冰的波本威士忌吗?
2--不了。这次我要品尝一下中国酒。
1--茅台酒怎么样?这是中国最有名的酒之一。真的很不错,(不管喝多少)它也不上头。
2--这里的人很能喝酒吗?
1--有些喝得多,有些不多。许多北方人喜欢喝酒。我想这跟气候有关。
2--对,是有关。有些墨西哥人很疯狂,他们甚至在大热天也喝很多酒。你听说过“特基拉索查”(龙舌兰)吗?
1--听说过,一种很有名的墨西哥烈酒。人们喝这种酒时,还配上盐和柠檬。
2--对。这种酒是很烈性的,就像酒精。(弗兰克呷了一口茅台酒。)
2--哦,真好喝。还有其他的中国名酒吗?
1--有,除茅台酒外,还有五粮液、汾酒等。
2--他们说绍兴酒很不错。这又是什么样的酒?
1--绍兴酒是米酒,一种无挥发性的酒,有些像日本清酒。绍兴是中国的一个城市。
2--我明白了。
1--另外,我们还有一些好的红酒和白酒,如长城干白葡萄酒。
2--谢谢你告诉我这么多,下次我要尝尝这些酒。
1--随时为您服务。
