什么是suspended coffee?
给你可能从未见过的人买杯咖啡,这个想法你觉得怎么样?suspended coffee(待用咖啡)光听名字,像是时下最流行的花哨咖啡技艺 (showy barista techniques),但其实一杯“待用咖啡” 比一杯拉花漂亮的拿铁要温暖 (heartwarming) 得多。
Born in the cafes of Italy’s southern city of Naples (那不勒斯), the “caffe sospeso” (which means “suspended coffee”) is a tradition in which someone pays in advance (提前支付) for an extra (额额外的)cup or two, which can then be consumed (消费;享用) by a coffee-drinker-in-need later in the day. “待用咖啡” 的意大利语是caffe sospeso,这个传统起源于意大利南部城市那不勒斯的咖啡馆,在那里人们可以提前多买一两杯咖啡,给其他可能比较贫困的咖啡爱好者享用。
A customer-in-need can then later ask if there is a “suspended coffee” available (adj.可得到的;可享用的) and have a hot drink without having to pay for it.
