Coffee drinking 喝咖啡
Andrea: Any idea what that was the sound of?
Jean: 這應(yīng)該是咖啡館正在做一杯正宗咖啡的聲音。 Mmm, I love a good cup of coffee.
Andrea: Well Todder in China was keen to know more about coffee drinking habits in the UK.
Jean: 英國人一向是以喜歡喝茶而聞名于世，那么他們對咖啡又是什么態(tài)度呢？大家好，我是董征。
Andrea: And I'm Andrea. We've been down to a local London coffee shop to find out more about coffee in the UK. Here's owner of the Broca coffee shop, Erin Essex.

Generally I think, yeah, the UK has definitely turned to coffee as an option in the morning. You know, it's a fine drink. Still a lot of tea drinkers obviously, but it's slowly getting there, I think, yeah.
Jean: Erin 他說很多英國人都選擇喝咖啡。 They've turned to coffee.
Andrea: But of course there is a long history of tea-drinking in England. It is a quintessential English drink, although people in England started drinking it many centuries after those in China.
Jean: Quintessential 最精華最典型的，就是說，茶是最英國的一種飲料。
Andrea: And even more interesting is that tea was introduced to customers through London's coffee houses in the 1600s.
Jean: 而最早在1600 年代茶作為飲品被介紹到英國百姓當(dāng)中的時候，是由倫敦當(dāng)?shù)氐亩嗉铱Х葟d發(fā)起的。 How interesting!
Andrea: Anyway back to Erin at the Broca coffee shop. She believes that drinking coffee is slowly getting there, here in the UK.
Jean: It's slowly getting there. 逐漸地成功做到了，喝咖啡的習(xí)慣已經(jīng)開始慢慢的進(jìn)入了英國。那么 Erin 在他的咖啡廳里都給顧客們提供哪些種類的咖啡呢？

We serve latte and cappuccino, which are Italian derivative coffees. Skinny's just the type of milk and it's a 1% milk versus full fat milk which is a 4% milk. A macchiato is just an espresso with a bit of milk in it which is very common in Spain and Italy and Mediterranean places.
Andrea: Erin talks about different types of coffee that are popular at her cafe. Lattes.
Jean: Latte. 我們中國人也叫它“拉鐵”，是用熱牛奶煮出來的蒸餾咖啡。
Andrea: Cappuccino.
Jean: Cappuccino. 就是充滿牛奶泡沫的蒸餾咖啡。
Andrea: Macchiato, which is espresso with a small amount of milk.
Jean: 還有近年來比較流行的 skinny 咖啡，就是用脫脂牛奶的低熱量咖啡。我們在點咖啡的時候，可以說，我要來一杯 skinny cappuccino 或者 skinny latte。
Andrea: And of course the other option that Erin doesn't mention is decaf. Decaf is short for decaffeinated.
Jean: Decaf 就是脫咖啡因咖啡。就是所謂含極低咖啡因或無咖啡因的咖啡，那Andrea，你喜歡喝這種咖啡嗎？
Andrea: I do if I have it late at night because then I can still sleep well. But proper coffee with caffeine is really good as a pick-me-up, especially if you're feeling a bit tired.
Jean: Pick-me-up 提神醒腦。那么我們下一個的問題是，英國人一般喜歡在一天的什么時候喝咖啡呢？
Insert
In the UK I find people definitely want it in the morning. We're always busier in the morning. And kind of mid-afternoon after school gets out. A lot of parents will come in and have a cup of coffee. It's kind of more of a treat or a relaxing thing. I think people they do do it to perk them up but I think mostly is the ritual involved in coffee drinking. It does take a little bit longer; it's not a fast refreshing drink. It's more about giving yourself a few minutes and enjoying something that's going to perk you up and make you feel better after.
Andrea: So people like their coffee in the morning on their way to work. It perks them up. It gives them a boost for the day.
Jean: 還有勞累了大半天的孩子父母們會在下午的時候到咖啡廳里喝杯咖啡放松一下。Erin 認(rèn)為大家已經(jīng)普遍把喝咖啡當(dāng)作一個休息放松的事情了，喝咖啡就像是一個放松養(yǎng)神的儀式 a ritual.
Andrea: So will Britain ever become a nation of coffee drinkers? Will tea ever be over-taken or be replaced by coffee as the UK's favourite drink?
Insert
Definitely not. It is definitely a nation of tea drinkers.
Andrea: So it's long live tea! On that note it's now time for us to go, so until the next time we answer another one of your questions on Britain, it's goodbye from both of us at BBC Learning English. And enjoy that cup of coffee!
Jean: Bye!
