青青外语

咖啡，是老外最常喝的一种饮料。

我们的老友记里最经典的场景就是中央公园咖啡店，可见咖啡在老外心中的位置有多么重要了。所以想要练好口语，能和老外无障碍聊天，学会咖啡的相关表达是非常非常重要的。

我们先来看几个老友记中关天咖啡的经典场景：

提到咖啡，我们第一个想到的肯定是 Rachel, 在咖啡店的场景中，Rachel一直都在扮演waitress的角色，似乎永远是系着围裙，一手端着拖盘，一手在给朋友们递咖啡。

让我们来回忆一下，Rachel第一次自己泡咖啡的时候：

当Rachel第一次学会了Make Coffee, 她对自己的成长非常满意，说了一句特别经典的话： I figure if I can make coffee, there isn't anything I can't do. （我想如果我学会了泡咖啡，我就没有什么是做不了的了）

然后Chandler补了一句刀：If can invade Poland, there isn't anything I can't do. （如果我能入侵波兰，我就没有什么是做不了的了）。

结果咖啡的味道可想而知。作为一次Rachel第一次泡的咖啡的试喝员，兄弟两个为了不打击他们这个当来到现实世界的朋友，在Rachel不注意的时候把咖啡倒在了盆栽里, 然后夸赞她咖啡泡得很好......

Rachel: Isn't this amazing? I mean, I have never made coffee before in my entire life.

Chandler:That is amazing.

Joey:Congratulations.

Rachel:Y'know, I figure if I can make coffee, there isn't anything I can't do.

Chandler:If can invade Poland, there isn't anything I can't do.

后来Rachel再给小伙伴为端咖啡，大家都要先问一句：Did you make it, or are you just serving it （是你泡的咖啡，还是你只是端过来）。

当Rachel说只是端过来的时候，大家才放心要点咖啡。猜想一下此点Rachel小姐的心理阴影面积......

Rachel:(walks upwith a pot of coffee) Would anybody like more coffee?

Chandler:Did you make it, or are you just serving it?

Rachel:I'm just serving it.

All:Yeah. Yeah,I'll have a cup of coffee.

Rachel:(carrying a tray of drinks) Alright, don't tell me, don't tell me! (Starts handing them out.) Decaf cappucino for Joey.. Coffee black.. Late.. And an iced tea. I'm getting pretty good at this!

All:Yeah. Yeah,excellent.

所以当你遭遇老外，发现无话可以聊的时候，不妨聊一下咖啡，绝对可以是话题之王。

所以平时注意准备一下咖啡的表达方式，是非常有必要的。

在这里青青外语准备了在不同场景下可能用到的咖啡相关的表达方式，从相约出去喝咖啡，选择口味，点咖啡到续杯。建议大家多读多理解，最好是背过，当遇到相应的场景，就可以应对自如了。文末还附有咖啡相关的单词。
