我們先來看一下一位外國朋友對咖啡的看法。
I think it is the thing that keeps the western world functioning more than oil does. Really, I think so many people need their cup of coffee in the morning that if coffee suddenly was not available I think the western world would come to a grinding halt in 2 weeks! And a lot of people don't realize how addicted to coffee they really are... it is "only a drink".
But so many people get really tense until they get that coffee. I used to drink up to 6 or 7 cups a day but now I usually only have 1 or 2.
講解
這里我們重點講解一下:a grinding halt這個片語的用法
a grinding halt: a situation in which something stops operating completely
come to a grinding halt 就是突然，緊急停止的意思。
這里可以看出，這位老外雖然有點夸張，但卻用這個come to a grinding halt 表達(dá)出了咖啡對西方人的重要性。
Addicted: unable to stop taking harmful drugs, or using or doing sth as a habit; spending all your free time
doing sth because you are so interested in it上癮，成癮，有癮;入迷
Tense: feeling worried, uncomfortable, and unable to relax 神經(jīng)緊張的，擔(dān)心的，不能松弛的；
