ESL露西的一天 第26期:吃早饭讲解(1)(在线收听

   In this episode, Lucy eats breakfast. 本课的主题是露西吃早餐。

  She begins her story by saying that "In the kitchen, the first thing" she does is to pour herself "a cup of coffee."  文章开头她说“走到厨房”她“先给自己倒一杯咖啡。”
  The first thing she does is pour herself a cup of coffee. 她最先做的事就是给自己倒杯咖啡。
  To pour, "pour," means to take liquid from one container, such as a bottle or a coffee pot, and put it into another container, such as a cup.  倒(pour)意思是把液体从一个容器(如瓶子,咖啡壶)倒进另一个容器(如杯子)。
  So, she pours herself "a cup of coffee" and adds "a little skim milk and sugar."  她给自己倒“一杯咖啡”然后加“一点脱脂奶和糖。”
  Coffee, "coffee," is a dark brown drink that you can use to wake up in the morning. 咖啡(coffee)是一种深棕色饮品,早上喝了可以提神。
  Most coffee, or regular coffee, has a certain drug called caffeine, "caffeine," and the caffeine helps people wake up.  多数咖啡,或者说普通的咖啡都含有一种叫作咖啡因(caffeine)的物质,咖啡因可以帮助提神。
  If you don't want the caffeine, you can get decaf coffee, "decaf."  如果你不需要咖啡因,你可以喝脱咖啡因的(decaf)咖啡。
  Decaf is short for decaffeinated, meaning it doesn't have caffeine. Decaf是脱咖啡因(decaffeinated)的缩写,意思是不含咖啡因。
