问题     Since the earliest times in England, the traveler’ s inn has always been a warm and hospitable place, a gathering place for voyagers to rest and recover. The tireless landlord, the local customers sharing drinks and food, the welcoming atmosphere, have all become part of the legend of the typical English country and city life. In later centuries, the English tavern took on the role of community gathering place, being the location where friendly chatter and fierce social debate mixed with business discussions, and food, wine, beer and coffee were consumed as the noise of convivial exchanges rose.
    In modern times, the English pub often continues to function as the communal meeting place, especially for people whose homes are too small to entertain any number of guests or friends. In many Asian countries, the local restaurant serves a similar social function.
    In Ireland, the pub has acted as a central attraction for poorer villagers in the rural areas, and as a literary and social focus in the cities. In keeping with the sociable nature of pub gatherings, music as well as talk has become a central part of this institution in Ireland.
    Now people around the world are able to experience the friendly nature of the Irish pub, which follows in the wake of its English equivalent as a welcome and growing expert. English pubs have been found in America, in parts of Europe and throughout the world where English pub is witnessing an outburst of international popularity as westerns turn away from their television and computer screens and seek to put a human face to their social contacts. They are finding it in the bars and corners of Irish pubs where Guinness stout, the Irish national drink, is available in the tall dark creamy pint glasses and Irish music is the regular fare.
    An international representative for the Irish manufacturers of Jameson’ s whiskey, Patrick Mc-Carville, points out that while the world has been laughing at Irish jokes (a stereotype of the Irish way of life) , the Irish have been quietly carrying out an economic coup which is seen in the evidence of the explosion of Irish pubs.
选项
答案 从最古老的年代起，英国的旅客客栈就一直是温馨好客的地方，旅行者可聚集在那里休养生息。那不知疲倦的店主，前来饮酒就餐的当地人以及店中好客的气氛，都已经成了典型的英国城乡生活的一个佳话。在后来的几个世纪中，英国的客栈成了社区公众聚集的地方，在那里人们友好地闲聊，就社会问题进行激烈的争论，还有的人在谈生意，他们一边进行欢快喧闹的交流，一边吃饭，一边喝些葡萄酒、啤酒或咖啡。 在现代社会，英国酒吧继续成为公众聚集的地方，特别是有些人因家居狭窄，不便应酬宾客或朋友，便常光顾酒店。在许多亚洲国家，当地饭馆也具有同样的社会功能。 在爱尔兰，客栈在乡间是吸引贫穷人们的聚首之地，在城市，酒吧则成了文化和社会的中心，为了跟上酒吧中公众聚集的交际需求，音乐和交谈成了爱尔兰酒吧的中心内容。 现在全世界的人们都能感受到爱尔兰酒吧的友善，它们紧步英国酒吧的后尘，成了热情好客的行家里手。在美国、欧洲的一些地区，甚至是在全世界，英国酒吧迅速地受到世人的欢迎，这是由于西方人远离了电视和计算机屏幕，而去追求面对面的社交。他们在爱尔兰酒吧或是酒馆中，能喝到吉尼斯烈性黑啤酒，这种酒盛在高高的黑色的含有大量奶油的品脱杯中，是爱尔兰的国酒。人们在酒吧里也能常常享受到爱尔兰音乐。 贾米森威士忌在爱尔兰酿造厂的国际代表，帕特里克?麦卡维尔指出，当人们一直在对爱尔兰笑话放声嘲弄时(这指的是一种陈腐的爱尔兰生活方式)，爱尔兰人正悄然兴起一场迅猛的经济变革，爱尔兰酒吧的骤变就是可见的证明。
