“I’d like to have a cup of coffee.”这句话对我们来说再熟悉不过了,但你知道吗? “cup of coffee”也可称作“cup of Joe”?咖啡跟乔这个人有什么关系啊? cup of Joe的由来有很多,其中一种说法是源自于美国1930年代,当时正值第一次世界大战时期,海军部长Josephus Daniels颁布禁酒令,禁止海军舰艇上储存酒类并禁止海军饮酒,因此海军们只能借「咖啡」浇愁,也开始称他们每天喝的咖啡为“cup of Joe”,作为一种嘲弄上级命令的形式。现在,cup of Joe通常是指黑咖啡(black coffee),但你也可以用它来指称任何以咖啡为基底的饮料。
