helen: 你想喝什么?
vicki: a skinny latte.
helen: 是一种咖啡吗?
vicki: yes. coffee shops in the uk are getting more and more like american ones, with lots of different choices of coffee. you could have a cappuccino.
helen: 卡布奇诺咖啡。

vicki: or a latte ╟ that’s a shot of strong espresso coffee with a whole cup of hot milk.
helen: 听着可真香啊。
vicki: latte is actually the italian word for milk. so caffe latte really means a milky coffee.
helen: 那么 a skinny latte 又是什么意思呢?
vicki: well, because a latte has a lot of milk, it can be quite fattening, so people who are on a diet have it made with skimmed milk.
vicki: well, in the summer-time you might have a cafe frappe. that’s an iced coffee.
helen: 冰咖啡。
vicki: and the coffee chain starbucks sell frappucinos. they’re flavoured iced coffee drinks. they’ve made up that name by combining cappuccino with frappe.
helen: a frappucino 加了其它调料的卡布奇诺咖啡。
vicki: well, now you know about all the different types of coffee you could order.
helen: 是啊，咖啡品种可真是太多了。不过我们最初提到的那个品种是:
