James:Ann, stop bugging Jess and help me order something new. Lattes are so passe these days.

Ann: Go with a hammerhead then-espresso mixed with drip coffee.

詹姆士：小安，别再跟洁丝抬杠了，帮我点一些新口味。最近已经不流行喝那堤了。

小　安：你何不试试美式咖啡?浓缩咖啡加水。

詹姆士：听来味道有点淡。

小　安：那就来杯榔头咖啡吧——浓缩咖啡加一般滴滤式咖啡。

詹姆士：听来好多了，但希望这不会让我想拿榔头敲客户的脑袋。

小　安：别担心，詹姆士。我们很快就会把这个案子解决掉。
