An anthropologist and a team of researchers have unveiled some of the arcane rituals of British pubs—starting with the difficulty of getting a drink.

This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose.
一位人类学家和一组研究人员从外国人买酒时所遇到的困难入手，揭示了英国酒吧某些鲜为人知的老规矩。大多数英国酒吧都没有服务员，你得自己到吧台去买酒。一伙意大利年轻人等了45分钟才明白他们得自己去买酒。这听起来似乎很不方便，但却有着深刻的内涵意义。
