What it really means

The bar's final call before it stops serving, often signalled by a bell and "Last orders, please!" You have a few minutes to buy a final drink. "Time, please" or a second bell means the bar is closed.

Chinese explanation
酒吧停止供应前的最后点单提醒,常伴随铃声和一句"Last orders, please!"。你还有几分钟买最后一轮。听到"Time, please"或第二次铃声就是打烊了。
