文本:
A:In China at least, coffee is often associated with an exotic [ɪɡ'zɑtɪk], well-to-do bourgeois [bʊr'ʒwɑ]lifestyle. Coffee is often considered a hobby of the well-educated, middle-class people.
在中國,說起咖啡,人們往往會想到異國情調,小資的優越生活方式。喝咖啡通常被認為是有修養的中產階級的習慣。
B:Maybe that's why some young chaps often spend a whole afternoon in a coffee bar, surfing the net or just typewriting something with laptop. While they are savoring a coffee at a leisured pace, they are actually showing off!
也許,這便是有些年輕人動不動就花一整個下午泡在咖啡吧、擺上筆記本電腦、上上網或者只是打打文件的原因吧。他們悠閒地品著咖啡,其實也是在炫耀自己。
