虞安娜走到点单机前,朝几个黑皮肤外国人微笑道:“Good afternoon, how can I help you today?” (下午好,您今天想喝点什么?)
脏辫姑娘一脸纠结道:“Well, we want some coffee, but we’re not sure what to choose……” (我们想点咖啡,但不太确定选哪一种……)
虞安娜了然:“We have espresso, cappuccino, latte and Americano, you can choose among them.” (我们有浓缩咖啡、卡布奇诺、拿铁和美式咖啡,你们可以在这里面选择。)
脏辫姑娘又颇有些不好意思地开口:“But…… what’ s the difference between them?” (它们之间有什么不同呢?)
虞安娜友好地回答:“Well, an espresso is a short small bold tasting coffee. A cappuccino is an espresso with a foam topping. And then latte is similar to cappuccino, but has more milk and less foam. And then the last thing is Americano, which is an espresso with water. You can make choices depends on your preference.” (嗯,浓缩咖啡是一种味道浓郁的小杯咖啡,卡布奇诺则是加了牛奶和奶泡顶的浓缩咖啡,拿铁和卡布奇诺相似,但加了更多的牛奶,奶泡则较少。最后是美式咖啡,也就是浓缩咖啡加水。你们可以根据自己的喜好做选择。)
几位外国友人相互沟通了几句,对虞安娜说:“Okay, please wait us a moment and we will tell you what we want.” (好的,请等一下,我们待会儿告诉你我们要的东西。)
虞安娜点点头:“If you have any problem, please let me know.” (如果有任何疑问,请告诉我。)
