北美年轻人也喜欢喝奶茶?
Description
之前的节目,我们谈到过北美生活和我们的有所不同,这期节目我们来聊聊北美的boba or milk tea shops(奶茶店)、legal age to drink(法定饮酒年龄),以及在北美为什么人们wear shorts and T-shirts in the winter time(冬天也穿短袖短裤)。
01 Boba or milk tea shops 奶茶店
奶茶店在中国的大街小巷随处可见,其实在北美也到处都有奶茶店(they are literally everywhere)!
不止我们爱喝奶茶,外国人也喜欢喝奶茶。They even have bubble tea shopsin the college cafés (大学的饮品区).饮品区的奶茶也是留学生的最爱,但它们might not taste good(可能没有那么好喝),因为它们看起来是那种有“塑料感”的奶茶(the milk teas that have like very artificial colors)。
·artificial/ˌɑːrtɪˈfɪʃ(ə)l/ adj.人工的;人造的
They’re cheaper (价格更便宜) and look very artificial (看起来像是加了很多人工的配料). They don’t taste as good as the ones in China (味道没有国内的好).
不过asmore and more Asian people go there(随着越来越多亚洲人的到来),奶茶店的质量(quality)得到了升级(it’sgetting an upgrade)。Anne说她学校旁边的奶茶店这两年就是replaced with a really fancy Asian bubble tea shop(被换成了一家比较高级的奶茶店)。
·quality /ˈkwɑːləti/ n.质量;品质
·upgrade /ˌʌpˈɡreɪd/ v.升级;提高
不仅仅是亚洲人爱奶茶,the locals(当地人)love it too,经常能看到the locals lining up for bubble tea(排队等着取奶茶)。
在我们的想象中,外国学生放学可能会hang out at the coffee shops(在咖啡馆坐着闲聊)或者social一下。But no! They hang out at the bubble tea shops now!
02 Legal age to drink 法定饮酒年龄
在美国,the legal age to drink(喝酒的法定年龄)是21岁,只有年龄达到21岁才可以buy alcohol(买酒精类产品)。Because it’s so late, many teens have their own fake IDs (假身份证).
·alcohol/ˈælkəhɔːl/ n.含酒精的饮料,酒
