In North America, drinking establishments with a British or Irish name or theme are called pubs as well; the appellation "pub" itself is often a component of this theme. Although the terms may have different connotations, there is no definitive difference between pubs, bars, taverns and lounges where alcohol is served commercially.
There are approximately 60,000 public houses in the United Kingdom, with one in almost every village. In many places, especially in villages, a pub can be the focal point of the community, playing a similar role to the local church in this respect.

Traditionally, a pub which offers lodging may be called an inn or (more recently) hotel in the UK. Today many pubs, in the UK and Australia in particular, with the word "inn" or "hotel" in their name no longer offer accommodation, or in some cases have never done so. Some pubs often bear the name of "hotel" because they are in countries where stringent anti-drinking laws were once necessary. Until 1976 in Scotland only hotels could serve alcohol on Sundays;[1] in Australia, this restriction operated all throusually known as a pub, is an establishment which serves alcoholic drinks especially beer - for consumption on the premises, usually in a cozy setting. Pubs are commonly found in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

Pubs are social places based on the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages, and most public houses offer a range of beers, wines, spirits, alcopops and soft drinks. Many pubs are controlled by breweries, so beer is often better value than wines and spirits, whilst soft drinks can be almost as expensive. Beer served in a pub may be cask ale or keg beer. The beer lends most pubs a pleasant, memorable aroma. [weasel words] All pubs also have a range of non-alcoholic beverages available. Traditionally the windows of town pubs are of smoked or frosted glass so that the clientele is obscured from the street. In the last twenty years in the UK and other countries there has been a move away from frosted glass towards clear glass, a trend which fits in with brighter interior decors.

5.Early modern English (c. 1450 — 1750)
• This age includes the Renaissance, the Elizabethan era and Shakespeare. The role of the church, of Latin and of French declined and English became a language of science and government. Britain grew commercially and acquired overseas colonies. English was taken to America, Australia, and India. Slave trade carried black speakers of African languages to Caribbean and America, giving rise to English Creoles克里奥尔语. English acquired a typographic排字印刷 identity with the rise of printing. There were many attempts to "standardize and fix" the language with dictionaries and grammars.

高英II-3（中英）3 Pub Talk and the King' s English酒吧闲聊与标准英语Henry Fairlie亨利.费尔利1 Conversation is the most sociable of all human activities. And it is an activity only of humans. However intricate the ways in which animals communicate with each other, they do not indulge in anything that deserves the name of conversation.人类的一切活动中，只有闲谈最宜于增进友谊，而且是人类特有的一种活动。

动物之间的信息交流，不论其方式何等复杂，也是称不上交谈的。

2 The charm of conversation is that it does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go as it meanders or leaps and sparkles or just glows. The enemy of good conversation is the person who has "something to say." Conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. There is no winning in conversation. In fact, the best conversationalists are those who are prepared to lose. Suddenly they see the moment for one of their best anecdotes, but in a flash the conversation has moved on and the opportunity is lost. They are ready to let it go.闲谈的引人人胜之处就在于它没有一个事先定好的话题。
