美语咖啡屋 J: Hello, Im Jody! Welcome to American Cafe! Y: 大家好！我是杨晨，欢迎到美语咖啡屋！我们今天要来到了街对面的那架咖啡馆。 我们今天要采访Jason他是这架咖啡馆的一个雇员。我们先谈谈咖啡文化对美国人来说意味是什么。 J: Now were here with Jason who works at a cafe. And were to talk to him about what he sees in the Cafe culture in American. Jason: My name is Jason and we are in Rockville, Maryland, which is a suburb of Washington, D.C. - the nations capital actually. Jody: So, Jason, what do you see people doing when they come into this cafe? Jason: There are all sorts of things. We have people that just come in get a cup of coffee and go.

But it gives people vibrancy, friendship, and community. Its a local outreach. Its many many different things to many people. Y: 就是，我觉得很多人来咖啡馆不仅是来喝咖啡。有的是来跟人聊天儿，还有的人坐在那儿看书，看报纸。其实他们是绝对要享受咖啡馆的气氛。 J: The atmosphere is so important. Its just a great place to hang out. Jason explains that hes only worked here two months after leaving a high-stress consulting job. Lets hear about the reason why he chose to work at a cafe over a high paying, high stress job. Y: 对，他原来在一家咨询公司工作。工资很高，但是他也说工作是 high stress - 就是压力非常大。那么我们就听听在咖啡馆工作有什么享受。 Jason: You know, Ive actually only worked here about two and a half months. And for about 15 years I worked in a very high stress consulting environment. And decided to make a change to specifically come into a cafe atmosphere. You know, while I dont make as much money as I once did, my quality of life and happiness level have certainly increased exponentially. Y: 我得问问Jason是不是有的人常常到这个咖啡馆来，叫他们是 regular customer. J: Regulars are people who come everyday or sometimes many times a day. Again, heres Jason. Jason: Oh, ab...absolutely! One of the joys of working here is getting to know people. And we have people that come in daily and sometimes multiple times a day. So, i
