Drinks
John:Tonight is a party night! What drinks do you think we need?
Lily:Well, not everyone wants to drink beer. Make sure there are some soft drinks and juice. Nothing’s as refreshing as iced drinks on a hot day.
John:I don’t think we need too much in the way of soft drinks. Two super bottles of Cola should cover everyone. What about wine?
Lily:Just buy a cask of wine. Have you bought ice yet?
John:No, once I fill the tub with beer, I’ll get the ice. The beer will be cool if you put the tub under the ice. The cooler, the better.
Lily:I think a bottle of champagne would be a good idea. It’s appetizing and tasty.

约翰:今晚是派对之夜!你认为我们需要什么样的饮料?

可口可乐(Coca-Cola)
Coca-Cola可简称为Coke,是一种颇受欢迎的饮料。它起源于1886年美国佐治亚州(Georgia)的亚特兰大城(Atlanta)一家药品店的后厨房。店里的药剂师约翰?彭伯敦由于喜欢调制混合饮用补品,一直尝试做一种不含酒精的饮料,最后配制成功。
无人不知的Coca-Cola的名字是由南美洲的一种植物的汁液Coca和可乐树的果汁Cola合拼而成的。
据说,Coca-Cola(可口可乐)在最初进入中国市场的时候,中文译名是“可口可辣”,结果它的销量不是很好。因为一看其名就给人一种“火辣辣”的感觉,还有谁会去品尝呢?为了打开市场,Coca-Cola公司在全球征集“Coca-Cola”的中文翻译。后来,一位旅欧的华人把它翻译成“可口可乐”,从而使Coca-Cola在中国的销量直线上升。

Are You All Right? 你没事吧?

我从一个同事身边走过,看见他坐在桌子旁边,两只脚跷得高高的,两眼一动不动盯着前方,好像很恍惚的样子,对我从身边走过也无动于衷。我问他:“你没事吧?”他眨眨眼,笑一笑说:“我现在处于屏幕保护状态。”
