Ann: Barista, pull me a ristretto.

Jess:What? You're suddenly some kind of coffee snob now? What's a ristretto anyway?

Ann: It's basically a very strong espresso. Half the water pulled through the same amount of beans. Pure coffee essence.

Jess:Sounds like it must be just full of caffeine. I want one of those instead!

Ann: You fiend. It's about the flavor, not the fix. Why don't you just crush some caffeine pills and start doing lines?

ristretto (n.)

(咖啡名)芮思崔朵，這種咖啡是濃縮咖啡的再濃縮。hammerhead (n.)(咖啡名)榔頭咖啡。drip cofffe (n.)(口語)一般加濾紙的咖啡壺煮出來的咖啡。而hammerhead是指「榔頭用來敲打的那端」，所以文末James才會(huì)故意說他想拿「榔頭」 hammer捶客戶腦袋

Can you tell the difference between ristretto and espresso?

你能分辨出芮絲崔朵和義式濃縮的不同嗎?

caffeine (n.)

咖啡因。caffeine pills是將咖啡因制成的藥錠，服用后可提神

I like caffeine in the morning.

我喜歡早上的咖啡因滋味。

(從義式咖啡機(jī)中)汲取(咖啡)

Can you pull me a double shot of espresso, please?

fix (n.)

(俚)毒品注射

I can't wait to get my fix.

我等不急來個(gè)一針了。

do lines

(把毒品的粉末)排列成線用鼻子吸入。這里Ann是在開玩笑，說Jess對咖啡因上癮的程度，就好象是在吸毒

Doing lines of anything is bad for your nose.

不管是什么東西，只要排成線狀吸進(jìn)鼻子里，都對鼻子不好。

snob (n.)

假內(nèi)行的人，自以為了不起的人

對啊，她不是害羞，就是裝高貴!

小安在點(diǎn)咖啡

小安：吧臺(tái)，給我來杯芮思崔朵。

潔絲：怎么，你現(xiàn)在突然變成咖啡專家啦?芮思崔朵是啥東東?

小安：基本上它是非常濃的濃縮咖啡。相同份量的咖啡豆，只加入一半的水。純正咖啡精華。

潔絲：聽起來一定充滿咖啡因。我要換喝這種!

小安：你這個(gè)咖啡鬼。這是為了香味，不是在追求快感。你何不干脆把咖啡因片弄碎，開始用鼻子吸算了?
