原汁原味商務英語播客第117課:咖啡店裏的故事

For many people, visiting a cafe or coffee shop is a normal part of business travel, if not everyday life.
對於很多人來說，去咖啡店或者咖啡商店是他們商業旅途中很正常的一部分，當然出差工作不是每天都會有。

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.
去咖啡店不僅是爲了喝一杯濃濃的咖啡，咖啡店還是一個能夠和客戶談生意的好地方。人們可以在這裏放鬆自己。對於出差旅途中的人來說，他們還可以在那裏上網查收郵件。

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.
很多咖啡店都裝有WiFi，或者說無線網絡。因此你可以在啜飲拿鐵或者摩卡咖啡的同時，瀏覽網頁並且保持網絡通暢。

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.
但是儘管人們提高WiFi的用戶體驗，使得它更加容易，他們有時會很難連接上網絡。因此在這一課中，我們不僅是在點咖啡，而且是練習如何能故障排解，保證網絡暢通。

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.
