Brandy snifter: This short-stemmed, small-mouthed, oversized glass is designed to be cupped in the hand so the brandy is warmed.

　　White wine glass: This tulip-shaped glass is designed for white wines, which don't need as much oxygen to bring out their flavor as reds do. Red wine: The rounded bowl helps direct the wine's bouquet to the nose.

　　Highball glass: Tall, straight-sided, and clear, this glass is perfect for a Tom Collins, gin and tonic, or a Long Island iced tea.

　　 谁都知道A cup of tea 是“一杯茶”的意思。但是cup可以用作动词有谁知道？听人说话听不清楚的时候，我们通常都会把手窝起来放在耳后，以便听得更清楚些——cupped a hand behind one ear to hear better。"Brandy snifer"这种杯子被设计成可以一手握住，这样白兰地就能被手温捂热。

　　Bouquet是“花束”的意思，这点我们以前曾经提到过，需要补充的是bouquet还含有“酒的芳香”，因此这句话的意思就是：喝红酒的杯子有助于将红酒的芳香直接送到鼻子里。

　　Double old-fashioned (also rocks or lowball) glass: This squatty glass works well for on-the-rocks and straight-shot drinks.

　　Martini glass: Sophisticated and small, its distinctive V-shape is perfect for classic cold cocktails, such as martinis and Manhattans, that must be finished quickly to keep from warming.

　　Flute: The tall, slim shape and narrow rim helps preserve the bubbles in champagne.

　 on-the-rocks指的是在酒里加冰，我们可以说whisky on-the-rocks（威士忌加冰）或是vodka on-the-rocks（伏特加加冰）；straight-shot指的是不掺杂任何东西的酒，不加冰、可乐或是跟别的酒混合。

　　martini这种杯子可不像brandy snifer，没法握在手心里！所以杯里装的鸡尾酒也不是用来慢慢品味的！在它变暖之前我们要赶快一口把它喝光。

　　 Pilsner: Originally designed for lager, this glass suits any kind of beer--especially today’s popular micro-brews.

　　Frozen or iced beverage glass: Useful for water, iced tea, or tropical concoctions, such as daiquiris.

　　Single old-fashioned glass: Smaller than the double old-fashioned, it allows a drink to be finished quickly, before the ice can melt. Balloon wine glass: The largest of all wine glasses, it allows aged red wine to breathe more effectively.

　　看清楚了呀，lager可跟larger（大的、多量的）的意思不一样！lager是原产于德国或波西米亚的一种多泡沫的淡啤酒，当时这种啤酒的全称是lager beer，现在用来表示酿造后再贮藏成熟的啤酒。

　　Daiquiris是一种女士常饮用的鸡尾酒。

　　文中提到了那么多种酒，现在我们来小小总结一下——beer（啤酒）、white/red wine（白、红葡萄酒）、champagne（香槟酒）、cocktail（鸡尾酒）、liqueur（白酒）、vodka（伏特加）、whisky（威士忌）、brandy（白兰地）、martini（马提尼酒）……
