总之都能选到自己喜欢的“drink”。

Drinks
John：Tonight is a party night! What drinks do you think we need?
Lily：Well, not everyone wants to drink beer. Make sure there are some soft drinks and juice. Nothing’s as refreshing as iced drinks on a hot day.
John：I don’t think we need too much in the way of soft drinks. Two super bottles of Cola should cover everyone. What about wine?
Lily：Just buy a cask of wine. Have you bought ice yet?
John：No, once I fill the tub 6 with beer, I’ll get the ice. The beer will be cool if you put the tub under the ice. The cooler, the better.
Lily：I think a bottle of champagne 7 would be a good idea. It’s appetizing and tasty.
John：Well, if you say so. Personally speaking, I’d rather die of thirst than drink champagne.
饮料酒水
约翰：今晚是派对之夜！你认为我们需要什么样的饮料？
莉莉：不是每个人都想喝啤酒的。准备些软饮料和果汁吧。在大热天没有什么能够像冰饮料那样让人神清气爽。
约翰：我想，我们并不需要太多的饮料。买两大瓶可乐就可以了。葡萄酒呢？
莉莉：买一桶酒吧。买冰了吗？
约翰：没有，我要先把桶装满啤酒，再去弄冰块。如果你把酒桶放在冰里面，啤酒就会变凉的，而且越凉越好。
莉莉：我觉得来瓶香槟也是个不错的主意。又开胃又可口。
约翰：好吧，你说要买就买吧，我个人是宁可渴死也不去喝香槟的
单词
cask n. 桶，木桶
