Talking proper: the language of U and Non-U

After the meal
宴会后
How to entertain your guests after the meal is another social and linguistic minefield. Real tennis is an acceptable pursuit. A card game might seem like safe ground, but steer clear of whist, pontoon, nap, and even slippery sam, which are all non-U. Never stand up to deal and always refer to knaves rather than jacks.
安排客人们的餐后娱乐活动是另一个社交和语言上的雷区。真实网球是个不错的活动。打牌也没什么问题,只要不是惠斯特、二十一点、拿破仑牌甚至狡猾萨姆就行,只有非上流社会的人才玩这些。发牌的时候不要站着,别管J叫jacks,要叫knaves。
