英语悠选脱口秀 第68期:麦当劳的咖啡

 　　讲解

　　Today’s key word is McDonald’s

　　McDonald’s 麦当劳

　　McDonald’s is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants.

　　Here is a delicious example:

　　I love cheeseburgers from McDonald’s.

　　我炒鸡喜欢麦当劳的芝士汉堡。

　　我们今天要说的这位大哥，去麦当劳点滴不是汉堡，而是咖啡。话说，在那遥远的美洲大陆上，There is a country called Puerto Rico（波多黎各）One day,一个飞行员决定带着他的朋友飞到外面溜达一圈。During their trip, this pilot（飞行员） and his friend felt thirsty(口渴)，想来杯咖啡提提神。But, they were not on a passenger flight(航班)， there were no drinks on their plane.

　　于是，飞行员大哥就问，“去麦当劳喝个咖啡呗？就这么愉快地决定了！”下一秒，this Puerto Rican pilot(波多黎各的飞行员) decided¹ to land his small plane in a grassy（长草的） area next to a McDonald’s to buy himself and his passenger a coffee.

　　他们倒是开心了，旁边人吓一跳呢。听说过开车去吃麦当劳的，走路去吃麦当劳的，组团去吃麦当劳的，这开飞机来的那谁见过啊。

　　于是，本着对人民负责的态度，Another customer in the McDonald’s called the police. He thought it may be some terrorists² or thieves like in the Hollywood³ movie. 警察叔叔来了以后就问了，飞机是你们的吗？What are you doing here? They said that they left the airport and landed here to get coffee.

　　生活就是要这样洒脱随意滴过。警察一看，霸气啊，人家也没犯法，Therefore the pilot and his passenger were not arrested(逮捕) and - after getting their cups of coffee and speaking with the agents（特工人员） - continued their trip with no further delay（延误）.只能说，土豪的世界你别猜，Although we can’t fly our plane to get a cup of coffee,但我可以走路去McDonald吃薯条啊，我买两包大薯条，一包蘸酱吃，一包不蘸酱吃，就是这么任性。

　　走了，吃薯条去。
