Drinks
John：Tonight is a party night! What drinks do you think we need?
Lily：Well, not everyone wants to drink beer. Make sure there are some soft drinks and juice. Nothing’s as refreshing as iced drinks on a hot day.
John：I don’t think we need too much in the way of soft drinks. Two super bottles of Cola should cover everyone. What about wine?
Lily：Just buy a cask of wine. Have you bought ice yet?
John：No, once I fill the tub with beer, I’ll get the ice. The beer will be cool if you put the tub under the ice. The cooler, the better.
Lily：I think a bottle of champagne would be a good idea. It’s appetizing and tasty.
John：Well, if you say so. Personally speaking, I’d rather die of thirst than drink champagne.
饮料酒水
约翰：今晚是派对之夜！你认为我们需要什么样的饮料？
莉莉：不是每个人都想喝啤酒的。准备些软饮料和果汁吧。在大热天没有什么能够像冰饮料那样让人神清气爽。
约翰：我想，我们并不需要太多的饮料。买两大瓶可乐就可以了。葡萄酒呢？
莉莉：买一桶酒吧。买冰了吗？
约翰：没有，我要先把桶装满啤酒，再去弄冰块。如果你把酒桶放在冰里面，啤酒就会变凉的，而且越凉越好。
莉莉：我觉得来瓶香槟也是个不错的主意。又开胃又可口。
约翰：好吧，你说要买就买吧，我个人是宁可渴死也不去喝香槟的。
单词
cask n. 桶，木桶
tub n. 桶

可口可乐（Coca-Cola）
Coca-Cola可简称为Coke，是一种颇受欢迎的饮料。它起源于1886年美国佐治亚州（Georgia）的亚特兰大城（Atlanta）一家药品店的后厨房。店里的药剂师约翰?彭伯敦由于喜欢调制混合饮用补品，一直尝试做一种不含酒精的饮料，最后配制成功。
无人不知的Coca-Cola的名字是由南美洲的一种植物的汁液Coca和可乐树的果汁Cola合拼而成的。
据说，Coca-Cola（可口可乐）在最初进入中国市场的时候，中文译名是“可口可辣”，结果它的销量不是很好。因为一看其名就给人一种“火辣辣”的感觉，还有谁会去品尝呢？为了打开市场，Coca-Cola公司在全球征集“Coca-Cola”的中文翻译。后来，一位旅欧的华人把它翻译成“可口可乐”，从而使Coca-Cola在中国的销量直线上升。

Are You All Right? 你没事吧?
I walked by a co-worker and saw him sitting at his desk with his feet propped up, staring straight ahead as if in a trance. When he didn’t stir as I passed, I asked, “Are you all right?” He blinked, smiled and said, “I’m on screensaver.”
我从一个同事身边走过，看见他坐在桌子旁边，两只脚跷得高高的，两眼一动不动盯着前方，好像很恍惚的样子，对我从身边走过也无动于衷。我问他：“你没事吧？”他眨眨眼，笑一笑说：“我现在处于屏幕保护状态。”
