 每日会话


A: What in the world is that smell?
B: The aroma of roasting coffee beans.
A: Smells like you're baking something. What are those?
B: Green beans. They pop and turn brown when you roast them.
A: Cool! But isn't that a hot air popcorn popper?
B: This machine roasts the beans just right. If you roast them too long, or the temperature is too hot...
A: The beans will burn. I know. I've tasted burnt coffee before...yuck!

(续上期)

A: 那是啥味道?
B: 烘焙咖啡豆的香味。
A: 闻味道还以为是你在烤什么东西吃。这些是啥?
B: 生咖啡豆。当你烘焙它们的时候,它们就会爆开,并转成棕色。
A: 酷!但那不是一台爆米花机吗?
B: 用这机器来烘焙咖啡豆正好。要是烘焙过久,或是温度太高……
A: 那么咖啡豆就会焦掉。我知道。我有喝过煮焦的咖啡……好难吃!

重点解说:

★ aroma (n.) 香味
★ roast (v.) 烘焙;bake (v.) 烤。这两个字的差别在于bake是将食物放在烤箱中烘烤,而roast除了表示放在烤箱里烤 ,也可以是放在火上烤
★ pop (v.) 爆开
★ popcorn popper 爆制爆米花的机器
★ temperature (n.) 温度

 每日笑话
  One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?"
    "Well, my son," his father replied, "look, there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."
    "But, dad," the boy said, "there's only ONE policeman!"

      一天,父亲与小儿子一道回家。这孩子正处于那种对什么事情都很感兴趣的年龄,老是有提不完的问题。他向父亲问 道:"爸爸,'醉'字是什么意思?"
  "唔,孩子,"父亲回答说,"你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个,那么我就算醉了。"
  "可是,爸爸,"孩子说,"那儿只有一个警察呀!"
