21 Coffee Bathing
第21課 咖啡浴
When the Japanese as you "Would you like some coffee?" think twice before you answer.
當日本人問你;“要來點咖啡嗎?” 你要三思之后再回答。
In Japan, it is quite popular to have a "coffee hath."
在日本洗“咖啡浴”是很風行的。
For about US$20, you can get a ground coffee bath; that is, they "boil" you in coffee.
大約美金二十塊,你就可以洗一個研磨咖啡澡:也就是說,他們會私心你放在咖啡里“煮”。
The coffee smells good, but you'll probably feel the heat.
咖啡聞起來很香,但是你大概會感覺到它的熱度。
It sounds like fun, doesn't it?
聽起來好像很好玩,不是嗎?
Well, the Japanese don't do it for fun.
而日本人不是為了好玩去洗的。
They believe it helps cure diseases. Who knows? Maybe it's true.
他們相信洗咖啡浴有助于治療疾病。誰曉得呢?或許是真的。
But in spite of what they say, I'll just take my coffee in a cup, thank you.
但拜托,不管他們怎么說,我只要喝裝在杯子里的咖啡就行了。
