The Morning Cup of Coffee
自从1670年殖民时期以来喝咖啡的习惯在美国一直都在继续。在1812年战争期间,因为买不到应该的茶叶,所以咖啡就取而代之。到了19世纪,曾经是东方特产的咖啡在巴西种植成功,所以美国人用不着喝由英国人或其他任何人运来的茶了。从那时起,几乎所有的美国人都以一杯咖啡来开始一天的生活。
Coffee drinking had been going on in the colonies since 1670. During the War of 1812, British tea became unavailable, and it was then that coffee took over. By the 1800s coffee, once the exclusive property of the East, was most successfully produced in Brazil; so Americans didn't have to drink tea, whetherbrought in by the British or anyone else. Since then, few Americans can start the day without a cup of coffee. |
