In this programme we’re going to be talking about coffee.
今天的节目中我们要谈论咖啡。
Coffee? I’ve actually got one here in front of me, Rob.
咖啡？我面前就有一杯。
What kind of coffee are you drinking?
你喝什么样的咖啡？
It’s a skinny latte. And what’s that that you’ve got?
脱脂拿铁。你买的什么咖啡呢？
I’ve gone for a flat white today. Mmm. That tastes good.
今天我喝的是白咖啡。恩，尝起来不错。
Looks good too! The market for the world’s most popular drink has come a long way since the days of instant coffee, when we just added boiling water to some brown powder.
看起来也不错！咖啡是世界上最受欢迎的饮料。自从速溶咖啡出现后，我们只需要在这棕色粉状咖啡里加入热水即可。咖啡市场可谓取得了巨大进步。
Yes, that’s very true, Neil. After that came the giants like Starbucks and Costa Coffee who made coffee drinking trendy and a lifestyle statement. People are far more aware of what they’re drinking these days.
确实如此。之后咖啡界巨头星巴克和咖世家咖啡兴起，引领了咖啡饮用的潮流，传达了一种新的生活方式。如今人们愈发注重他们饮用的品质。
But Rob, I don’t think we should forget what lies behind the coffee we enjoy every day. It’s a hugely complicated business.
但是罗伯，我认为我们不能忘记每天享用的咖啡背后隐藏的故事。咖啡业是一个庞大而复杂的产业。
Yes, it’s the second biggest commodity in the world, after oil. That means the price of coffee is changing every day, every hour even, as traders speculate about the price.
是的，咖啡是世界第二大商品，仅次于石油。由于贸易者的投机行为，咖啡的价格每天浮动，甚至每小时浮动。
It means farmers in countries like Ethiopia, Costa Rica and Brazil are dependent on the deals that are made in commodity markets thousands of miles from their farms.It makes them extremely vulnerable.
这也使得像埃塞俄比亚、哥斯达黎加和巴西这些国家的咖啡农户，他们的生存要依赖于离家几千公里之外的商品市场上的成交额。价格的波动对他们的影响非常大。
Let’s listen to food journalist Sheila Dillon as she explains the impact of coffee markets on local growers. She uses an expression that means "has a big effect". Can you tell me what it is?
让我们来听听美食记者希拉狄龙是怎么解释咖啡市场对当地种植者的影响。她使用了一个表达来形容“影响之大”。你能告诉我是什么吗?
What happens in the coffee markets makes waves around the globe. Entire national economies depend on the price of coffee. It’s the key to whether individual farmers can provide for their families, face unemploymentand ultimately whether whole communities stay on the land or trek to the cities.
咖啡市场的波动会在全球引起轰动。整个国民经济都依赖咖啡的价格。个体种植户是否能够养活家庭，是否会面临失业，最终整个种植群体是能够靠土地生存下来还是退居城市，咖啡的价格都是关键。
She said "makes waves".This means "have a big effect".
她说的是“引起轰动”。也就是说“造成巨大影响”。
She also used the expression "provide for" their families. This means the farmer’s family have enough income to live comfortably. Good. Right. So what about our quiz question today? Neil do you know many cups of coffee are drunk worldwide each year?Is it:a) 38 billionb) 400 billionc) 950 billion
她还用了“养活家庭”这样的表达。这是指咖啡种植户的家庭能够获得足够的收入来过舒适的生活。好了。到我们今天的问题环节了。尼尔，你知道每年全世界消费多少杯咖啡吗？a) 380亿b) 4000亿c) 9500亿
