阿美和咖啡厅的一个老顾客聊起了咖啡，从世界最著名的咖啡到时下流行的速溶咖啡，聊得还真欢呢。

May: Good afternoon, sir. You are really a regular customer here. May I ask you why you come here so often?

Customer: I’m a newspaper columnist. I write comments for a living. I enjoy working in a coffeehouse.

May: I see. But isn’t it a bit too noisy?

Customer: I don’t mind. By contrast, I quite like the circumstances, as I can see a variety of people here, who can always give me tremendous inspiration. And the most important thing is coffee as it is my life.

May: I can see that. Then what is your favorite coffee?

Customer: Irish coffee is my favorite. But I can drink any other. I’m not particular on it.

May: All right. Would you make coffee yourself when you are at home?

Customer: Not very often. Making coffee is a bit troublesome. Most of the time, I just buy takeout at Starbucks. And also, I quite like instant coffee.

May: I think instant coffee is becoming more and more popular. Though its taste is not perfect, it’s really cheap and convenient.

Customer: Exactly. Nescafe is the world’s favorite coffee. People love it all over the world?

May: Which country makes the best coffee in the world?

Customer: Many people think Brazil makes the best coffee. Brazil exports a lot of coffee. But I love Irish coffee. So it’s hard to say. Just depends on your taste.

May: I agree. I heard in the western countries, almost everyone likes coffee. Is that true?

Customer: Yes. No doubt about that. For us, coffee is more a living style rather than a simple drink. I heard Chinese people don’t drink that much coffee.

May: No, we don’t, especially the old people. But more and more young people fall for coffee.

Customer: I suppose so. That’s probably why there are so many wonderful coffeehouses in China now.

顾客: 我是报纸的专栏作家。我靠写评论为生。我喜欢在咖啡厅里工作啊。

阿美: 知道了。但是这里不会有点吵吗？

顾客: 我不介意。相反，我喜欢这样的环境，因为在这里我可以看到不同的人，他们会给我带来很多的灵感。而且最重要的是咖啡可是我的生命啊。

阿美: 可以看得出来。那您最喜欢的咖啡是哪种？

顾客: 爱尔兰咖啡是我的最爱。但是我也可以喝别的。我并不挑剔的。

阿美: 嗯。那您在家的时候会自己煮咖啡喝吗？

顾客: 不经常煮。煮咖啡其实有点麻烦。大多数时候，我就喝星巴克的外卖咖啡。而且，我也喜欢速溶咖啡。

阿美: 我觉得速溶咖啡变得越来越流行了。尽管它的味道可能不是很完美，但真是便宜方便。

顾客: 没错。雀巢咖啡是全世界最受欢迎的咖啡。全世界的人都喜欢呢？

阿美: 世界上哪个国家出产最好的咖啡呢？

顾客: 很多人觉得巴西出产最好的咖啡，巴西也出口很多的咖啡。但是我喜欢爱尔兰咖啡。所以很难说。要看个人的口味吧。

阿美: 我同意。我听说在西方国家，几乎每个人都喜欢咖啡。这是真的吗？

顾客: 是的。那是毫无疑问的。对我们来说，咖啡不仅仅是一种饮料，更加是一种生活方式。我听说中国人不喝那么多咖啡。

阿美: 是的，尤其是老一辈的人。但是现在越来越多的人喜欢上咖啡了。

顾客: 我猜也是。这可能就是为什么中国现在有那么多很棒的咖啡厅的原因吧。

The Company is committed to offering the highest quality coffee, meanwhile, Starbucks is not only a coffeehouse, but offers a unique experience. Maybe that’s why Starbucks Corporation had great success in the USA and the number of stores increased rapidly. Nowadays they have even more stores in the United States than McDonald’s.

Instant Coffee

Instant coffee is drunk all over the world, largely because its simplicity of use compared to other forms of coffee making. No time is required for infusing the instant coffee- it is ready as soon as the hot water is added.

Ironically, instant coffee is the only form of coffee available in certain coffee exporting countries.

全世界的人都在喝速溶咖啡，主要因为跟其他咖啡制作相比，冲速溶咖啡非常简单。冲一杯速溶咖啡根本就不需要花时间——只要加热水就可以喝了。而且用速溶咖啡制作冰咖啡也很方便，这在天热的季节里非常流行。具有讽刺意味的是，速溶咖啡竟然是一些咖啡出口国家里唯一能够找到的咖啡产品。

西方的食品和餐饮文化和中国略有不同。在高档餐馆里进行正统的西式晚宴本身就是一种礼仪，它注重的是交谈。

The culture of food and dining in the West is a little different from that in China. The proper western dinner at a fine restaurant is one of manners, focusing on conversation. You are expected to have knowledge of table manners such as what folk or knife to use as these are essential in western dining. The meal would consist of several courses including a soup or salad, an appetizer, the main dish, and a dessert. The atmosphere will be filled with light music that would only serve as background as people converse with each other. The decorations are usually sparse and are only meant to highlight the atmosphere that is being created by the music. This type of dining is different from the dining experience in most restaurants in China. However, with the increase in internationalism, more restaurants are opening which reflect the more western dining style. The Chinese people, now more affluent and knowledgeable about international customs, are beginning to join in this dining experience. This is not to say that people have given up the deep richness in culture that Chinese food represents. It only means that more choices and tastes are becoming available to population. This represents a significant improvement as it will change the perception that the height of western dining is fast food. As cultural communication expands, knowledge of western food will improve.

西方的食品和餐饮文化和中国略有不同。在高档餐馆里进行正统的西式晚宴本身就是一种礼仪，它注重的是交谈。你要懂得餐桌礼仪，比如刀叉的使用，这些在西方宴会中是必不可少的。一顿饭可能包括几道菜品，比如汤或沙拉、开胃品、主菜和甜点。人们彼此交谈时，周围弥漫着作为背景的轻音乐。装饰通常稀稀落落以烘托音乐制造的氛围。这种就餐方式和中国绝大多数餐馆不同。但随着国际化的不断加强，越来越多反映西方就餐风格的餐馆开始营业。更加富裕的中国人对国际风俗也有了越来越多的了解，并开始加入到这种新的就餐体验中来。这并不意味着人们已经抛弃了中国食品所代表的深厚文化底蕴。这仅表明，大众有了更多的选择和不同的品味。它标志着一个重大的进步，并将改变认为西方饮食便是快餐的观念。随着文化交流的不断扩大，人们对西方饮食的认识也将有所改进。

Grape Wine

Grape wine is the second beverage in the international market, only next to beer. At the present, the grape wine already becomes the pronoun of wealth, fashion and personal status. Grape wine is well know to be beneficial to people’s health, but how to choose, drink or store grape wine is a knowledge. There is a wonder: how the grape wine gets its color, since almost all grape juice (even from the black grapes) is basically colorless. The secret is letting the skins soak in the juice during fermentation.

葡萄酒

葡萄酒是国际市场上的第二大饮料，仅次于啤酒。如今，葡萄酒已经成为财富、时尚和个人地位的代名词。众所周知，葡萄酒有益于身体健康，不过怎么挑选、饮用和储存葡萄酒却是一门学问。有一个疑问：葡萄酒是怎么形成它独特的色泽的呢？因为几乎所有的葡萄汁（即使来自黑葡萄）基本上都是无色的。诀窍就在于在发酵过程中把葡萄皮浸泡在葡萄汁中。

Cheese

Cheese is one of the world’s oldest food products in human history, although no one knows exactly how long people have been eating cheese. Nutrition basically is all about good eating habits, good foods for you, and that includes cheese of course, for it provides protein, essential daily vitamins, and of course energy. If there is one real cheese country in the world, it’s the Netherlands, which is the world’s largest exporter of cheese.

奶酪

奶酪是人类历史上最古老的食物产品之一，尽管没有人知道人们开始吃奶酪的确切时间。一般来讲，营养总是关于好的饮食习惯和对人有益的食品，这当然也包括奶酪，因为它可以提供蛋白质，每天必须的维生素，当然还提供能量。如果说世界上只有一个真正的奶酪国家的话，那么只能说是荷兰，它是世界上最大的奶酪出口国。
