有关酒的术语的翻译

WINE, LIQUOR, SPIRITS

1. 关于酒度

常见的是用alcohol content(酒精的含量) ，酒精度来表述，如：

酒度为16~18°：with an alcohol content of 16~18°or contain 20% alcohol

这种酒酒精度很高。This wine has a high alcohol content.

但酒业界的酒精含量不等于酒度。洋河酒厂的一位专家指出，他们业内不用alcohol content这

个词，因为不是这个含义。经多方查找，在韦勃斯特大词典上找到了，是proof这个词。

proof n.（酒类的）标准酒精度

Whiskey of 90 proof is 45% alcohol. 90度的威士忌含酒精45%。

This gin is 15 per cent under (or below) proof.这杜松子酒的酒精度低于标准15%。

proof n. the relative strength of an alcoholic liquor with reference to the

arbitrary standard for proof spirit; this standard, taken as 100 proof: see PROOF

SPIRIT

酒精或酒类的最低强度；标准酒精强度

proof spirit an alcoholic liquor, or a mixture of alcohol and water, containing by

volume 50 percent (in Great Britain and Canada 57.10 percent) ethyl alcohol at

15.6°C (c. 60°F)标准烈度的酒（酒精含量美制为50%，英制为57.1%）

含有标准酒精百分数的酒精饮料或酒精和水的混合物

1）按体积计算含酒精量接近一半的酒

2）与蒸馏水体积相同，重量为其12/13或按体积计算含酒精57.10%的酒

overproof a. Containing more alcohol than proof spirit does含酒精超过规定度数的

underproof a. Containing less alcohol than proof spirit does 含酒精低于规定度数的
