你知道美国人都喜欢喝喜欢喝哪几种饮料吗？在美国的酒吧或餐馆点饮料或结帐时又与在英国有什么不同呢？ In the United States coffee is the usual drink at all hours of the day. American coffee is usually lightly roasted and often served very weak. Italian-style coffees--expresso and cappuccino--are often available, but one has to ask for them. Next after coffee, Americans are likely to drink cola drinks, such as Coke or Pepsi, or other soft drinks. These include root beer (a sweet, gassy, non-alcoholic drink made from herbs), fruit juices, or iced tea (cold tea served with lemon or sugar). Beer--always served ice cold--is the most popular alcoholic drink. 在美国，咖啡是最常见的饮料，24小时随时都可以享用。美国咖啡通常经过微焙，味道十分清单。意大利式咖啡——（用蒸汽加压煮出的）浓咖啡和卡布奇诺咖啡——通常也都可以买到，但你必须说明要这一种。除咖啡外，美国人最常喝的是可乐和其他不含酒精的饮料，可乐有可口可乐和百事可乐，其他不含酒精的饮料有菜根汽水（由草本植物制成的、甜味、不含酒精的气泡饮料）、水果汁及冰茶（配有柠檬和糖的冰镇的茶）。啤酒——通常都是冰镇的——是最受欢迎的酒精饮料。 Ordering Coffee 点咖啡 When you order coffee in an American restaurant, the waiter will often inquire, "Regular?" This means with milk or cream in it. In an American home, your hostess might ask, "With or without?", meaning with or without milk or cream. The word regular may also mean non-decaffeinated to some people. |
