流行美语第241课：带有内疚的快感 -（韦博分享） 流行美语第241课：带有内疚的快感 -（韦博分享） Larry和李华正在一起吃午饭。李华今天要学两个常用语a Cuppa Joe和Guilty Pleasure。 LL: I am so sleepy! What I need right now, Li Hua, is a cuppa joe. LH: A cuppa joe ? 我确实有个朋友叫Joe，他怎么能帮你提神呢？ LL: No, I dont need your friend Joe. I need a cuppa joe is a way of saying I need a cup of coffee. LH: 我知道了，cuppa是cup of的缩写，可我还是不明白Joe怎么会是咖啡呢？ LL: You wouldnt be alone in that, Li Hua. Most Americans dont know why we call coffee Joe, but we have for a long time, and we still say it today. LH: 对呀，只要说起来方便，大家都知道是什么意思就好了。Larry, 你干嘛急着要喝咖啡呀？ LL: I stayed up too late watching a movie on television last night, and today I am so tired. Having a cuppa joe would really help me get through my work day. LH: 原来是你自己晚上看电视，不好好睡觉，怪不得会那么困，要靠a cuppa joe里的咖啡因来提神。 LL: So I am definitely ordering a cuppa joe with lunch. How about you, Li Hua? Would you like a cuppa joe? LH: 我才不要a cuppa joe, 我又不爱喝咖啡。 LL: If you dont want a cuppa joe, then what are you going to order to drink? LH: 我要一杯茶好了。 LL: Ive heard that a cup of tea doesnt have quite as much caffeine as a cuppa joe. Is that true? LH: 是呀，茶里所含的咖啡因确实不如咖啡多。 LL: Then why would anyone want to drink tea instead of a cuppa joe? LH: 据我所知，除了咖啡因含量低以外，茶对人体还有其它许多咖啡没有的好处，特别是绿茶。听说绿茶里的抗氧化物质还能防癌呢。 LL: But I still cant live without my cuppa joe. ****** LH: Larry, 你真的那么喜欢喝咖啡吗？ LL: I guess you could say that drinking coffee is one of my guilty pleasures. LH: 喜欢喝咖啡也算犯罪吗？ LL: A guilty pleasure is something you like to do, but isnt good for you. Im not guilty of a crime when I drink coffee, but I do know there are better things I could be drinking. LH: 我知道了，A guilty pleasure的意思是一种内疚的快感，就是说你明知道喝咖啡可能不如喝茶和喝水对身体好，但你还是愿意喝咖啡。 LL: Thats right. What about you Li Hua, do you have any guilty pleasures? LH: 我，当然有了，其中之一就是冰激凌。 LL: Ah yes, how could I forget? Eating ice cream is definitely a guilty pleasure for you. LH: 我知道冰激凌是高糖和高脂肪的食品，我也担心吃多了会胖，可我就是管不住自己。这不能算是最糟糕的guilty pleasure吧。 LL: Some people like to drink alcohol or to gamble. These are guilty pleasure
