Half and half and half “八分之一咖啡”

同样喝咖啡,不同的人会选择不同的口味。有些人喜欢黑咖啡,有些人则喜欢糖或者奶再多一点。今天就要给大家介绍一个特殊“品种”的咖啡:Half and half and half “八分之一咖啡”。

A type of coffee so diluted by sugar, cream or milk that it no longer tastes like coffee, instead like milk and sugar, and has a beige or light brown color to it. The drink is typically concocted by those who want to appear as if they are drinking coffee but despise the taste.

“八分之一咖啡”是被糖、奶油或者牛奶过度稀释了的一种咖啡,它的味道不像是咖啡,反倒像牛奶和糖水,而且偏米色或者浅棕色。“八分之一咖啡”是那些虽然不喜欢咖啡味但却想让别人以为他们喜欢咖啡的人群的典型饮料。
来看下面的对话:

Anne: Carrol is such a coffee poser, she'll only fill her mug with coffee halfway before she drowns it in milk and sugar.

安妮:卡罗尔又在喝咖啡装样子了,她只是在杯子里装了半杯咖啡,然后放进去半杯奶和糖。

Jill: Yeah, i hate the taste of her half and half and half.

吉尔:是呀,我最讨厌她这种“八分之一咖啡”的味道了。
