- 1nB1/ˈbɑːrmən/ · /ˈbɑːmən/酒保（男）
A man whose job is to serve drinks to people in a bar, taking their orders and passing the drinks across the counter.
示範例句 · Example
Sam has worked as a barman at the seaside hotel since last summer.
逐字山姆從去年夏天起就在那間海邊的旅館當酒保。
barman 是「在吧台後面幫客人送飲料的男生」，英國最常用這個字，美式英文則多半說 bartender。這個字可以想成就是 bar（吧台）＋ man（人）拼起來的，所以換成女生就是 barmaid（bar ＋ maid）。他遞出來的不一定是大人喝的東西——果汁、汽水、冰水也都是他負責的。

core核心畫面
Think of the man standing on the working side of a bar counter: bottles and taps behind him, customers in front of him. He listens to what they want, pours it, and pushes the glass across the counter to them. The word is simply bar (the counter you buy drinks at) plus man, so the picture is a person defined by where he stands and what crosses that counter.
