为什么如今的孩子喜欢喝咖啡?

I was 28 when I drank my first real cup of coffee. With two young children at the time, it changed the way I viewed my mornings. Now in my thirties, my coffee maker is the appliance in my kitchen most likely to get used on a daily basis. Recent news that coffee may be correlated with a variety of positive health benefits only fuels my desire for a daily cuppa.
我28岁才第一次喝到真正的咖啡。那时我有了两个小孩，咖啡改变了我对早晨的看法。现在我30多岁了，厨房里的咖啡壶成为我每天最常用的器具。最近有新闻报道咖啡跟一系列有益健康有关，燃起了我每天喝一杯咖啡的兴趣。

When I do grab a coffee on the go, I'm often shocked to see as many teenagers in line for their daily caffeine fix as adults. While I pick up a juice box or bottled water for my young daughters, I see children getting their own blended coffee drinks. Why are today's kids drinking coffee? Is what's good for the goose really good for the gander?
我每天忙着喝一杯咖啡时，非常震惊地看到许多青少年也跟成年人一样每天排队摄取固定咖啡因。当我拿果汁盒子或瓶装水给小女儿的时候，我发现孩子自己在喝混合咖啡饮料。为什么如今的小孩喝咖啡？对成人好的就真的对孩子好吗？

It's what mom and dad are doing.
这是爸爸妈妈经常做的

Like loads of habits, many children are introduced to coffee at home. Can I have a sip of your coffee? Worried more about the temperature than the caffeine, you may be inclined to let your 'tween or teenager have sip once your coffee has cooled off.
如同许多习惯，咖啡是在家里介绍给孩子的。我能喝一口你的咖啡吗？父母担心的不是咖啡因而是温度，当咖啡凉了之后你会同意你的孩子喝一口。

Think twice, though. Caffeine effects may be exacerbated in young children, severely impacting the amount of sleep they get on a daily basis. And while their minds and bodies are still growing and developing, sleep is crucial for kids.
然而，考虑一下。咖啡因的作用在小孩子身上会加重，严重影响他们每天的睡眠时间。由于他们的身体和大脑还处于发育成长阶段，睡眠对孩子来说非常重要。
