Source: 恒星英语学习网    2012-03-04  我要投稿   论坛   Favorite  

      For many people, visiting a cafe or coffee shop is a normal part of business travel, if not everyday life.
对于很多人来说,去咖啡店或者咖啡商店是他们商业旅途中很正常的一部分,当然出差工作不是每天都会有。

      Not only are coffee shops a good place to get a cup of espresso, they are also a great location to have a quick meeting with a customer, take a short break, and - most importantly for the business traveler – get online to check your email.
去咖啡店不仅是为了喝一杯浓浓的咖啡,咖啡店还是一个能够和客户谈生意的好地方。人们可以在这里放松自己。对于出差旅途中的人来说,他们还可以在那里上网查收邮件。

      Many cafes are now equipped with WiFi, or wireless internet. So while you sip on your latte or your mocha, you can surf the web and keep connected.
很多咖啡店都装有WiFi,或者说无线网络。因此你可以在啜饮拿铁或者摩卡咖啡的同时,浏览网页并且保持网络通畅。

      But despite people' s attempts to make WiFi services user-friendly, or easy to use, they are sometimes difficult to connect to. So in this lesson, we' ll not only look at ordering coffee, we' ll also practice troubleshooting an internet connection.
但是尽管人们提高WiFi的用户体验,使得它更加容易,他们有时会很难连接上网络。因此在这一课中,我们不仅是在点咖啡,而且是练习如何能故障排解,保证网络畅通。

      For today' s lesson, we' ll be rejoining our friend Honesto as he stops by a coffee shop at the airport. We' ll hear to Honesto ordering a drink and attempting to connect to the cafe's WiFi. As you listen, try to answer the following questions.
