    Starbucks 的遗憾…

    Starbucks-logo前几天和朋友约好在Starbucks见面谈事儿,无聊时发现竟然没有人点Espresso,虽不是那么了解Espresso,可是还是知道其一定来历的。

    Espresso”是一个意大利咖啡语单词,有on the spur of the moment与“for you”(立即为您现煮)的意思。也许,翻译成“浓缩咖啡”并不见得合适,因此,在后面的单元里,将直接引用Espresso,不再使用译名。

    什么是Espresso如果您问起,一定会得到许多不同的答案。的确,经过100年的发展,Espresso已经成为一种生活与艺术。在意大利Espresso简直就是当地人的生活协奏曲。早晨起来,先喝一杯拿铁(Latte);之后,人们喜欢到店里喝Espresso,大家都等在吧台前面,拿到第一手咖啡之后,三小口就喝掉了。店里的客人彼此相识交谈,连咖啡师傅(Barista)也参与聊天,咖啡馆因此变成联谊场所。

    在美国与台湾,意大利咖啡馆林立街头,是年轻人约会聊天的地方。他们大都不喝Espresso,只喝加了牛奶的卡布奇诺或拿铁。这些年轻人多半不知道Espresso的美味,只是来这里见识Espresso气氛。相必,这也算是一种Espresso生活吧!
