2016-07-25来源:和谐英语

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?


重点词汇:

rare (a.)

A: Is this pottery expensive?
这个陶器贵不贵?
B: Yes, because it's very rare and unique.
贵,它很稀有,也很独特。
slippery (a.)
棘手的。原本意思是“滑溜溜的”,在此为双关语,因为“机油”就是滑溜溜的,而这个案子又很棘手
This floor is very slippery.

Did you receive my magazine shipment?
你收到我寄送的杂志了吗?
