Eztalk美语【176】这是世上最稀有的咖啡！

Jess:This motor oil case is still really slippery.
Ann: Yeah, time for more coffee!
Jess:Sure, why not? I think I want a chocolate chip cookie, too.
Ann: By the way, I heard Kitty's just got in a shipment¹ of Jamaican Blue Mountain.
Jess:So what?
Ann: It's only the rarest coffee in the world! Didn't your momma teach you anything when you were growing up?

B: Yes, because it's very rare and unique.
贵，它很稀有，也很独特。

slippery (a.)
