May: Good afternoon, sir. You are really a regular customer here. May I ask you why you come here so often?

Customer: I'm a newspaper columnist. I write comments for a living. I enjoy working in a coffeehouse.

May: I see. But isn't it a bit too noisy?

Customer: I don't mind. By contrast, I quite like the circumstances, as I can see a variety of people here, who can always give me tremendous inspiration. And the most important thing is coffee as it is my life.

May: I can see that. Then what is your favorite coffee?

Customer: Irish coffee is my favorite. But I can drink any other. I'm not particular on it.

May: All right. Would you make coffee yourself when you are at home?

Customer: Not very often. Making coffee is a bit troublesome. Most of the time, I just buy takeout at Starbucks. And also, I quite like instant coffee.

May: I think instant coffee is becoming more and more popular. Though its taste is not perfect, it's really cheap and convenient.

Customer: Exactly. Nescafe is the world's favorite coffee. People love it all over the world?

May: Which country makes the best coffee in the world?

Customer: Many people think Brazil makes the best coffee. Brazil exports a lot of coffee. But I love Irish coffee. So it's hard to say. Just depends on your taste.

May: I agree. I heard in the western countries, almost everyone likes coffee. Is that true?

Customer: Yes. No doubt about that. For us, coffee is more a living style rather than a simple drink. I heard Chinese people don't drink that much coffee.

May: No, we don't, especially the old people. But more and more young people fall for coffee.

Customer: I suppose so. That's probably why there are so many wonderful coffeehouses in China now.

阿美: 早上好,先生。您可真是我们这里的常客啊。我能问一下您为什么常常来这里啊?

顾客: 我是报纸的专栏作家。我靠写评论为生。我喜欢在咖啡厅里工作啊。

阿美: 知道了。但是这里不会有点吵吗?

顾客: 我不介意。相反,我喜欢这样的环境,因为在这里我可以看到不同的人,他们会给我带来很多的灵感。而且最重要的是咖啡可是我的生命啊。

阿美: 可以看得出来。那您最喜欢的咖啡是哪种?

顾客: 爱尔兰咖啡是我的最爱。但是我也可以喝别的。我并不挑剔的。

阿美: 嗯。那您在家的时候会自己煮咖啡喝吗?

顾客: 不经常煮。煮咖啡其实有点麻烦。大多数时候,我就喝星巴克的外卖咖啡。而且,我也喜欢速溶咖啡。

阿美: 我觉得速溶咖啡变得越来越流行了。尽管它的味道可能不是很完美,但真是便宜方便。

顾客: 没错。雀巢咖啡是全世界最受欢迎的咖啡。全世界的人都喜欢呢?

阿美: 世界上哪个国家出产最好的咖啡呢?

顾客: 很多人觉得巴西出产最好的咖啡,巴西也出口很多的咖啡。但是我喜欢爱尔兰咖啡。所以很难说。要看个人的口味吧。

阿美: 我同意。我听说在西方国家,几乎每个人都喜欢咖啡。这是真的吗?

顾客: 是的。那是毫无疑问的。对我们来说,咖啡不仅仅是一种饮料,更加是一种生活方式。我听说中国人不喝那么多咖啡。

阿美: 是的,尤其是老一辈的人。但是现在越来越多的人喜欢上咖啡了。

顾客: 我猜也是。这可能就是为什么中国现在有那么多很棒的咖啡厅的原因吧。
