A:Do you prefer tea or coffee?
你喜欢咖啡还是茶？
B:That's a difficult one.I used¹ to not like coffee for a really long time and then I started drinking coffee and I couldn't stop,and I used to have like three or four cups of coffee a day and at the end,I wasn't able to sleep at night so I stopped drinking coffee and now I prefer tea.What do you prefer?
这个问题很难回答。我以前有很长一段时间不喜欢咖啡，而我开始喝咖啡以后就停不下来了，我以前每天喝三杯或四杯咖啡，结果晚上睡不着，所以我就不再喝咖啡了，现在我更喜欢茶。你喜欢哪个？
A:I don't know.For me it used to be the other way around.I was a coffee addict².I have to have my Americano in the morning and my Frappuccino in the afternoon and all these different types of coffee in the day,but then eventually³ I got the same problem.I wasn't able to fall asleep,but you know I found out that tea actually has caffeine in it,so it has the same effect⁴.I think it really depends on the day.If I'm really sleepy and I need to wake up in the morning,I prefer coffee but if it's just to realx at night,I would rather have a cup of tea.
我不知道。我的情况和你相反。我是咖啡成瘾者。我下午喝星冰乐，早上喝美式咖啡，一天要喝不同种类的咖啡，但是最后的问题是一样的。我无法入睡，我发现茶也含有咖啡因，所以效果是一样的.我想这要取决于那天的情况。如果我非常困，需要在早上清醒一下，那我会选择咖啡，但是如果我只是需要在晚上放松一下，我会喝杯茶。
