Jess:This motor oil case is still really slippery.

Ann: Yeah, time for more coffee!

Jess:Sure, why not? I think I want a chocolate chip cookie, too.

Jess:So what?

Ann: It's only the rarest coffee in the world! Didn't your momma teach you anything when you were growing up?

小安： 對(duì)呀，再去喝點(diǎn)咖啡吧!

潔絲： 好啊，有何不可?我想我也要來片巧克力碎片餅干。

小安： 順道一提，我聽說凱蒂咖啡剛進(jìn)了一批牙買加藍(lán)山。

潔絲： 那又怎樣?

小安： 這是世上最稀有的咖啡!長(zhǎng)到這么大，你媽從沒教過你嗎?
