See David Cameron and Xi Jinping Gabbing Over a Pint and Some Fish and Chips
卡梅倫與習近平把酒暢談 品嘗炸魚薯條

Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron took a break from their state visit negotiations Thursday to enjoy a pint of IPA beer and fish and chips at that most British of places — the neighborhood pub.
當地時間22日，中國國家主席習近平和英國首相卡梅倫國事訪問談判期間，前往最具英倫特色的地方——附近酒吧小憩。

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).
契克斯莊園會晤結束后，卡梅倫帶習近平前往位于白金漢郡卡茲頓的英國鄉村酒吧“犁”，邊品嘗該國傳統小吃邊閑聊。據法新社報道，閑談間，卡梅倫還說起2012年自己曾不小心將8歲的女兒丟在酒吧的糗事。

Language Tips：

Gab作動詞指“以非正式的形式聊了很多不重要或不嚴肅的內容”(to talk a lot in an informal way about things that are not important or serious)，多用于口語。Exchange stories與這個詞所表達的意思頗為相近，也是指“閑聊、閑談”的意思。看看卡梅倫聊的內容，都是些家長里短，確實是既不重要也不嚴肅。不過這也說明英相大人顯然沒把“大大”當外人，連自己曾經犯暈干過的糗事都毫無保留地說了出來。

這次兩國領導人的這一活動里其實暗含一個文化梗——酒吧外交。其實赴吧小酌并非卡梅倫獨創，歷任英國首相都很喜歡在傳統酒吧里招待客人，英國媒體為此還專門給這種行為取了個名字——“酒吧外交”。除了“大大”，卡梅倫此前還曾和法國總統奧朗德“泡過吧”，另外，前任首相布萊爾也在美國總統小布什和法國前總統希拉克訪英時，也曾邀他們去過當地酒吧談天說地、把酒言歡。
