給你可能從未見過的人買杯咖啡,這個想法你覺得怎么樣?suspended coffee(待用咖啡)光聽名字,像是時下最流行的花哨咖啡技藝 (showy barista techniques),但其實一杯“待用咖啡” 比一杯拉花漂亮的拿鐵要溫暖 (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 (額額外的)cup or two, which can then be consumed (消費;享用) by a coffee-drinker-in-need later in the day.“待用咖啡” 的意大利語是caffe sospeso,這個傳統起源于意大利南部城市那不勒斯的咖啡館,在那里人們可以提前多買一兩杯咖啡,給其他可能比較貧困的咖啡愛好者享用。
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.
