英文原文:

Later,talking in the office

Jess:This motor oil case is still really slippery.
Ann: Yeah, time for more coffee!
Jess:Sure, why not? I think I want a chocolate chip cookie, too.
Ann: By the way, I heard Kitty's just got in a shipment of Jamaican Blue Mountain.
Jess:So what?
Ann: It's only the rarest coffee in the world! Didn't your momma teach you anything when you were growing up?

参考译文:

之后，在办公室里聊天

洁丝：这个机油的案子还是很棘手。
小安：对呀，再去喝点咖啡吧！
洁丝：好啊，有何不可？我想我也要来片巧克力碎片饼干。
小安：顺道一提，我听说凯蒂咖啡刚进了一批牙买加蓝山。
洁丝：那又怎样？
小安：这是世上最稀有的咖啡！长到这么大，你妈从没教过你吗？
