Starbucks is an international coffee and coffeehouse chain. It is the world’s best-known brand of coffee shop and has almost 20,000 stores in around 50 countries, employing close to 150,000 people. It was formed in Seattle, Washington in 1971 by English teacher Jerry Baldwin, history teacher Zev Siegl, and writer Gordon Bowker. Its website says little has changed since then: “Every day, we go to work hoping to do two things: share great coffee with our friends and help make the world a little better. It was true when the first Starbucks opened in 1971, and it’s just as true today.” Starbucks is famous for its range of coffees and pastries, its comfortable and well-furnished shops and its free-trade coffee. Trained Starbucks staff are called Coffee Masters, while staff in training are known as baristas.
星巴克是一家国际连锁咖啡公司。它也是全球最知名的咖啡品牌，遍布全球大约50个国家，连锁店将近2万家，员工总数接近15万人。1971年，英语老师杰里·巴登、历史老师泽夫·西格尔以及作家戈登·博格一同在华盛顿西雅图创建了星巴克。其官网称我们未曾改变：“每天上班都希望完成两件事：与朋友们分享美味咖啡，让这个世界变得更加美好。1971年第一家星巴克开业时我们就是这么想的，如今依然如此。”咖啡和甜点的种类繁多，舒适漂亮的店面环境也是星巴克名声远播的原因。训练有素的星巴克员工被叫作咖啡大师，正在接受训练的员工叫作咖啡师。
