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

早上好，先生。您可真是我们这里的常客啊。我能问一下您为什么常常来这里啊?

B：I'm a newspaper columnist. I write comments for a living. I enjoy working in a coffeehouse.

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。

A：I see. But isn't it a bit too noisy?

知道了。但是这里不会有点吵吗?

B：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.

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。

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

可以看得出来。那您最喜欢的咖啡是哪种?

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

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。

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

嗯。那您在家的时候会自己煮咖啡喝吗?

B：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.

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。

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

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。

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?

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

世界上哪个国家出产最好的咖啡呢?

B：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.

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。

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

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?

B：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.

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。

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

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。

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

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。
