Eztalk美语【97】烘焙咖啡豆的香味(在线收听

At Billy's house

Jennifer: What in the world is that smell?
Billy: The aroma of roasting coffee beans.
Jennifer: Smells like you're baking something. What are those?
Billy: Green beans. They pop and turn brown when you roast them.
Jennifer: Cool! But isn't that a hot air popcorn popper?
Billy: This machine roasts the beans just right. If you roast them too long, or the temperature is too hot...
Jennifer: The beans will burn. I know. I've tasted burnt coffee before...yuck!

在比利家

珍妮花:那是啥味道?
比 利:烘焙咖啡豆的香味。
珍妮花:闻味道还以为是你在烤什么东西吃。这些是啥?
比 利:生咖啡豆。当你烘焙它们的时候,它们就会爆开,并转成棕色。
珍妮花:酷!但那不是一台爆米花机吗?
比 利:用这机器来烘焙咖啡豆正好。要是烘焙过久,或是温度太高……
珍妮花:那么咖啡豆就会焦掉。我知道。我有喝过煮焦的咖啡……恶!
