intermediate

Hey! What can I get for you?

嗨!要点什么?

You

I'd like a large iced vanilla latte with oat milk, but can you make it with decaf?

我要一杯大杯冰的香草拿铁,用燕麦奶,能做无咖啡因的吗?

Absolutely! How many pumps of vanilla would you like? Standard is three for a large.

当然!要几泵香草糖浆?大杯标准是三泵。

💡 "pump" 是咖啡店里糖浆的计量单位。可以要求加减泵数来调甜度。

You

Just two pumps — I don't want it too sweet. And can I also add a pump of caramel?

两泵就好——我不想太甜。能再加一泵焦糖吗?

Two vanilla, one caramel. Would you like whipped cream on top?

两泵香草,一泵焦糖。要加奶油吗?

You

No whipped cream, thanks. But could I get an extra shot of espresso? I know it's decaf, but I want it stronger in flavor.

不要奶油,谢谢。但能加一份浓缩咖啡吗?虽然是无咖啡因的,但我想要味道浓一点。

No problem! Extra decaf shot added. So that's a large iced decaf oat milk latte, two pumps vanilla, one pump caramel, extra shot, no whip. That'll be $7.25.

没问题!加一份无咖啡因浓缩。所以是大杯冰的无咖啡因燕麦奶拿铁,两泵香草,一泵焦糖,加一份浓缩,不要奶油。7.25美元。

You

That's perfect. Thank you!

完全正确。谢谢!

Great, thanks. I need to do some work on my laptop. Are there any seats with power outlets nearby?

You

Is there a time limit for how long I can stay?

没有严格限制,但高峰时段如果很挤的话,希望大家互相体谅一下。像今天这样的话,想待多久都可以!

💡 欧美咖啡店通常允许长时间逗留办公,但高峰时段(如早上通勤时间)最好不要占座太久。买杯饮料是基本礼貌。

Good to know. One more thing — do you have any food? I might want a snack later.
