英语博客：ESL Podcast 795 – Ordering Coffee and Tea

 　　Jermaine: I’d like a decaf drip, to go.

 

　　Drew: Would you like our light or dark roast?

 

　　Jermaine: I'll just have whatever's freshly brewed¹.

 

　　Drew: Are you sure you don’t want to try an espresso, an Americano, or a latte?

 

　　Jermaine: No, just a decaf coffee.

 

　　Drew: Sure, no problem. Would you like it hot or cold?

 

　　Jermaine: Hot, please.

 

　　Drew: Would you like any room for cream?

 

　　Jermaine: No, thanks.

 

　　Drew: Would you like some sweetener? A couple of pumps of syrup² maybe?

 

　　Jermaine: No, I’ll add a couple of packets of sugar myself.

 

　　Drew: Oh, I’m sorry. I added some foam³ from another drink to your coffee by accident. I’ll have to start over. Did you say you wanted the light or dark roast?

 

　　Jermaine: Forget it. Let’s keep it simple. Give me a cup of tea.

 

　　Drew: Would you like that hot or cold, sweetened or unsweetened, loose leaf or in a tea bag?
