英文原文:

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?

参考译文:

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?

重点词汇:

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
