    美语会话 174 coffee snob 咖啡专家
    Ann is ordering

    Ann: Barista, pull me a ristretto.

    Jess:What? You're suddenly some kind of coffee snob now? What's a ristretto anyway?

    Ann: It's basically a very strong espresso. Half the water pulled through the same amount of beans. Pure coffee essence.

    Jess:Sounds like it must be just full of caffeine. I want one of those instead!

    Ann: You fiend. It's about the flavor, not the fix. Why don't you just crush some caffeine pills and start doing lines?

    ristretto (n.)

    (咖啡名)芮思崔朵,这种咖啡是浓缩咖啡的再浓缩。hammerhead (n.)(咖啡名)榔头咖啡。drip cofffe (n.)(口语)一般加滤纸的咖啡壶煮出来的咖啡。而hammerhead是指「榔头用来敲打的那端」,所以文末James才会故意说他想拿「榔头」 hammer捶客户脑袋

    Can you tell the difference between ristretto and espresso?

    你能分辨出芮丝崔朵和义式浓缩的不同吗?

    (俚)毒品注射

    I can't wait to get my fix.

    我等不急来个一针了。

    do lines

    (把毒品的粉末)排列成线用鼻子吸入。这里Ann是在开玩笑,说Jess对咖啡因上瘾的程度,就好象是在吸毒

    Doing lines of anything is bad for your nose.

    不管是什么东西,只要排成线状吸进鼻子里,都对鼻子不好。

    snob (n.)

    假内行的人,自以为了不起的人

    A: She never talks to anyone.

    小安在点咖啡

    小安:吧台,给我来杯芮思崔朵。

    洁丝:怎么,你现在突然变成咖啡专家啦?芮思崔朵是啥东东?

    小安:基本上它是非常浓的浓缩咖啡。相同份量的咖啡豆,只加入一半的水。纯正咖啡精华。

    洁丝:听起来一定充满咖啡因。我要换喝这种!

    小安:你这个咖啡鬼。这是为了香味,不是在追求快感。你何不干脆把咖啡因片弄碎,开始用鼻子吸算了?
