Are you guys gonna start drinking coffee now?
你們以後打算要開始喝咖啡了嗎？
So we all know Starbucks, with their ventis, and their grandes, and their Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but here are a few things we don’t know about America’s favorite place to go for coffee.
我們都知道星巴克，知道他們的特大杯、大杯飲料，還有南瓜那堤，但對於這間美國人最愛買咖啡的地方，可能有幾件你不知道的事情。
The first thing—a surprising number of people don’t love Starbucks’s coffee. There’s probably a reason why Starbucks has earned the nickname “Charbucks." Critics say that a lot of their coffee has an overly roasted quality, a real, kind of, dark and bitter taste. What’s really interesting is that a San Francisco web publisher, The Bold Italic, did a survey of six packaged coffees. Starbucks came in dead last (sixth out of the six)! Even Folgers, a fairly mundane supermarket brand, beat it out. Of course, Starbucks says, “Different tastes for different folks." They now do have quite a wide range of coffees. They say if you don’t like something dark, go with a lighter roast, which they call their Blonde Roast.
第一件事情－－令人驚訝的是，很多人並不喜歡星巴克的咖啡。這也可能是星巴克有另一個綽號「焦巴克」的原因。評論家說，星巴克很多咖啡都烘焙過頭了，有點像是，真的很黑又很苦的口感。真的很有趣的是，一家舊金山的網路出版商 The Bold Italic，曾經做過一項六家包裝咖啡的調查。星巴克大墊底（六名當中的第六名）！甚至 Folgers，一個再平凡不過的超市品牌也贏過星巴克。當然，星巴克會說：「每個人口味都不一樣。」他們現在真的有很多種咖啡。他們說如果你不喜歡黑咖啡，就選烘焙程度較低的咖啡，他們叫做「黃金烘焙咖啡」。
The next thing Starbucks won’t tell you: There are a lot of chemicals in its coffee. This issue has come up recently because a blogger called the Food Babe has taken a hard look at the Pumpkin Spice Latte. She finds a lot of things she doesn’t like in it, particularly caramel coloring, which is a known carcinogen—or at least one of the chemical by-products of caramel coloring is a known carcinogen. Starbucks says that they are taking a look at the caramel color issue and they will consider removing it from their coffees. They do say, however, their coffees are perfectly safe to consume. Starbucks also says that there are pumpkin spices in their Pumpkin Spice Latte, but guess what? No actual pumpkin.
另一件星巴克沒告訴你的事情是：他們的咖啡裡有很多化學物質。這件事最近被炒出來，因為一個叫做 Food Babe 的部落客仔細審視了南瓜那堤的成份。她發現裡面有很多她不喜歡的東西，特別是焦糖色素，是眾所周知的致癌物質－－或焦糖色素中至少有一種副產品是眾所周知的致癌物質。星巴克說他們會審視焦糖色素問題，他們也會考慮從咖啡中移除。然而，他們也的確有說他們的咖啡喝下去絕對是安全無害的。星巴克也說過南瓜那堤裡面有南瓜香料，但你猜怎麼著？裡面根本沒有真的南瓜。
Here’s another thing Starbucks won’t tell you: They’ve got a secret menu. Yes, of course, Starbucks has a very long list of drinks you can order, but there are a surprising number of ones that you can essentially create by having them mix different syrups and different things on their menu. For example, there’s something called a Fruity Pebbles Frappuccino. It’s a sort of hyped-up version of a strawberry Frappuccino, but they say it tastes like the namesake cereal.
這裡是另一件星巴克不會告訴你的事情：他們有隱藏菜單。對，當然，星巴克有一長串飲料菜單任你挑選，但有很多飲品是你真的可以自己調配的，像是混搭菜單上不同的糖漿和不同的飲料。例如：有種飲料叫做「果味星冰樂」。這其實就是嗨森版的草莓星冰樂，但星巴克說這喝起來跟同名的榖片一樣。
And let’s talk about nutrition, as in calorie counts. Yes, it’s another thing that Starbucks really doesn’t like to talk about. That’s because if you order certain Frappuccinos, you’re looking at, easily, 400 calories, even up to 500 calories in some instances, it looks like. Plus, if you add in a snack, like one of those pound cakes or coffee cakes or different things like that, your total calories could come out to be almost a thousand calories. Keep in mind, we’re talking about a “coffee and a snack"—a thousand calories. It’s something that nutritionists say is just asking for trouble.
讓我們來談談營養，像是卡路里方面。是的，這就是另一件星巴克很不愛講的事情。這是因為如果你點了某種星冰樂，你很容易就會喝下四百卡，甚至有些還會高達五百卡。還有，如果再加個點心，像是其中一種磅蛋糕或咖啡蛋糕或其他類似的東西，總攝取卡路里量可以逼近一千卡。記住，我們是在說「咖啡跟一樣點心」－－這樣就要一千卡。這就是營養學家說的，只是在自討苦吃而已。
Finally, here’s something to think about. Now, Starbucks will tell you they sell their products for home use, but if you really want to save money on their coffee, just do it in a very basic way: Buy yourself a good machine; buy yourself a good burr grinder. You can make, essentially, coffee for as little as a thousand a year. We’re talking Starbucks-quality coffee. And guess what? You get to keep the brewer and the grinder for long-time use.
最後，這裡是要思考一下的東西。星巴克會跟你說，他們賣的產品是供自家使用，但如果你真的想要在他們家的咖啡上省錢，就採取這個基本做法吧：買一台好咖啡機；買一台好的磨盤式磨豆機。只要花個一千元，就真的可以泡上一年份的咖啡。我們在說的可是星巴克品質的咖啡喔。而且你猜怎麼著？沖泡機跟研磨機你可以用很久。
Hi! I’m Michelle. I’ve been a partner for a year and a half. And we’re here to share some pro tips with you guys and…just some of the things that we have, um, asked of us from the customers here in the store on a regular basis.
嗨！我是蜜雪兒。我成為星巴克的夥伴有一年半的時間了。我們在這要和大家分享一些專家技巧，還有…就是一些我們經常被店裡的客人問的事情。
What is a ristretto shot?
什麼是特濃濃縮咖啡？
The difference between a regular shot and a ristretto shot is just that less water is pulled through the espresso, creating a sweeter shot.
普通濃縮咖啡和特濃濃縮咖啡之間的差異只是經過濃縮咖啡的水比較少，打造出更為香甜的一份濃縮咖啡。
What is a latte?
什麼是那堤？
We also get asked “What is a latte?" It’s basically espresso shots, steamed milk, with velvety foam on top. And that is my go-to drink.
我們還會被問「什麼是那堤？」那堤基本上就是濃縮咖啡、熱牛奶，上頭有著綿密的奶泡。那是我必點的飲品。
What’s the difference between a latte and a cappuccino?
那堤和卡布奇諾有什麼差別？
One of the questions that we get asked a lot is “What’s the difference between a latte and a cappuccino?" We start with our espresso shots, steam our milk, and the only difference really is the amount of foam on top. So, a cappuccino has quite a bit more foam than the latte.
其中一個我們很常被問到的問題是「那堤和卡布奇諾有什麼差別？」我們一開始會加入濃縮咖啡、蒸煮牛奶，而唯一真正的不同是上面的奶泡量。卡布奇諾的奶泡比起那堤多許多。
What’s the difference between coffee and espresso?
咖啡和濃縮咖啡有什麼不同？
I always tell my customers that, really, espresso is coffee. It’s just a different preparation. They use high pressure from steam to press the water through the coffee grounds to get the liquid. With coffee, you’re just pouring hot water over the grounds and whatever,
using gravity to get that liquid.
我總是告訴我的顧客們，說實在的，濃縮咖啡就是咖啡。只是準備過程不一樣而已。咖啡師利用蒸氣的高壓來讓水通過咖啡粉，以萃取液體。咖啡的話，你是倒熱水在咖啡粉什麼的上面，利用地心引力取得液體。

So you get to work after a long commute, and you’re feeling a bit tired. You reach for a coffee, and within seconds, you feel more awake. How is the coffee affecting your brain? Stay tuned to find out.
你通勤了一大段距離後開始上班，你感到有點累。你拿了杯咖啡，然後就在幾秒內，你覺得清醒多了。咖啡是怎麼影響你的大腦呢？繼續收看來找出答案。
There’s no doubt about it: Drinking a coffee or any caffeinated drink when you feel tired will make you feel more alert, but let’s take a second to think about what coffee is.
毫無疑問：累的時候喝咖啡或任何含咖啡因飲料會讓你覺得反應更敏銳，不過我們來花一秒想想咖啡是什麼。
Coffee comes from the coffee plant, which grows in many places, but primarily Brazil, Vietnam, and Colombia. The seeds, also called coffee beans, are packaged and shipped all over the world and are then brewed into your favorite coffee at your local coffee shop. The types of coffee available are endless, but no matter which you drink, they will all make you feel more alert because they contain caffeine. How does caffeine make you more alert? It’s all to do with the neuroscience.
咖啡來自咖啡樹，那種植物在許多地方生長，不過主要位於巴西、越南以及哥倫比亞。那種種子，又稱咖啡豆，被包裝運送到世界各地，接著在當地的咖啡店煮成你喜愛的咖啡。可以購買的咖啡種類有無數種，不過不管你喝哪種，它們全都會讓你覺得更清醒，因為咖啡含咖啡因。咖啡因如何讓你更清醒呢？這全和神經科學有關。
Adenosine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, and so when it binds to receptors in the brain, it reduces nerve activity and makes you sleepy. To the receptors in the brain, caffeine looks just like adenosine, and so it can bind to those receptors too—but it doesn’t reduce nerve activity. It just stops adenosine binding. Therefore, the neurons aren’t inhibited. They just speed up, which stops you feeling sleepy and instead makes you more alert and awake.
腺苷是一種抑制性神經傳導物質，所以當它和大腦內的受器結合在一起時，它會降低神經活性，並讓你感到想睡。對大腦內的受器來說，咖啡因看起來就和腺苷一樣，所以咖啡因也能結合那些受器－－不過它並不會降低神經活性。它只會阻止腺苷結合。因此，神經元未被抑制。它們只會加速活動，讓你不再感到睏倦，反而讓你覺得更加清醒敏銳。
So there you have it. The next time you reach for a coffee to give you that buzz, you’ll know how it affects your brain. Just make sure you don’t drink too much as you might end up with a bad case of the caffeine jitters.
那麼你現在知道啦。下次你用咖啡來帶給你那種興奮愉悅感時，你就知道咖啡是怎麼影響你的大腦了。只是務必別喝太多，因為你最後可能會有咖啡因引起的緊張顫抖那種不良症狀。

Ah…beautiful day. I’d call it perfect. But it’s missing something, don’t you think? Ah! There it is. This morning just wasn’t complete until your first cup of coffee, right? Yeah, there’s nothing quite like a steaming cup full of an addictive drug in the morning. I’m Roger. And I’d love to tell you about Horton brand warm, addictive brown stuff.
啊…美好的一天。我會說是完美的一天。但少了某些東西，你不覺得嗎？啊！來了。這早晨不到你喝下第一杯咖啡就不算完整，對吧？是呀，沒有什麼比得上早晨來一整杯熱呼呼讓人上癮的毒品。我是 Roger。而我很樂意和你談談霍頓牌那溫暖、使人上癮的咖啡色物體。
Please enjoy this footage of velvety smooth beans, followed by a well-shot close-up of a hot brown liquid that’s brewed by mixing heated water with the roasted, smashed-up seeds of a flowering shrub native to Southern Africa and Tropical Asia. I only showed you that to remind you, you desperately need your fix. How could you forget? You see, these small brown seeds are a naturally occurring source of the world’s most widely consumed central nervous system stimulant—caffeine. While most brain-altering substances are outlawed or at least tightly controlled by the government, this entirely legal psychoactive drug is enjoyed by basically every person you know, on a daily basis, completely unrestricted, and with zero cultural stigma. In fact, it’s openly celebrated by your friends, family, and morning television personalities!
請享受這天鵝絨般光滑的豆子的畫面，緊接著是一個滾燙棕色液體的超美特寫，由熱水混合烘烤過且搗碎的開花灌木種子沖煮而成，原產於南部非洲和熱帶亞洲。我給你看那不過是要提醒你，你亟需滿足你的癮頭。你怎能忘記？你瞧，這些咖啡色小種子是世界上最廣泛被攝取的中樞神經系統興奮劑的天然來源－－也就是咖啡因。儘管大部分會改變精神狀態的物質都被法律禁止或至少受到政府嚴密管控，這一個完全合法的精神藥物卻基本上被每個你認識的人享用著，每一天、完全不受限，且完全沒有文化汙名。事實上，它被你的朋友、家人和早晨電視名人們公開地讚揚著！
Smells so good. I can’t wait to add flavors and sweetener to distract from the natural flavor of this thing I claim to love and not be addicted to.
聞起來真香！我等不及要添加香料跟甜味劑，這樣就喝不到這個我宣稱熱愛又沒上癮的飲品的天然風味。
I do like it! It’s just that…two sugars and that hazelnut creamer make it—I’m not addicted to…
我真的喜歡它！只是…兩顆糖和那榛果奶精讓它－－我沒有上癮…
Junkies like him keep me, a harvester of brown seeds, in business. But not just me—also me, a distributor of overpriced addictive sludge.
像他一樣的癮君子讓身為咖啡色種子採收者的我有生意上門。但不只是我－－還有我，一個提供訂價過高、使人成癮的爛泥的人。
It also comes in pumpkin flavored, if you’d prefer that to the wet-cigar, boiled-asphalt flavor that occurs naturally.
這還有南瓜口味喔，如果比起像濕雪茄和煮沸瀝青的原味，你更喜歡南瓜口味的話。
I do!
我喜歡！
Great! That’ll be 11 dollars and…here’s a cup with your name just butchered on it to prove that you will let literally anyone treat you literally however they want as long as they’re handing you a cup of the chemical reward of an unregulated psychoactive drug. Enjoy your drug disguised as a universally celebrated touchstone of human culture, Randor. Randor? That’s not even a name! I didn’t even try.
好極了！那總共是十一美元，還有…這裡是一個被胡亂寫上你的名字的杯子，證明你真的會讓任何人隨意對待你，只要他們遞給你一杯不受管制的精神藥物所帶來的化學回饋。享受你那被偽裝成全世界頌揚的人類文化標竿的毒藥吧，Randor。Randor？那甚至不是一個名字！我連試著拼出來都沒有。
Now, I understand that you wouldn’t want to associate that chemical reward with the knowledge that people with far less money than you are severely underpaid to grow and harvest these bitter, drug-laden seeds. So I’d like to show you some more footage, this time of a hardworking, happy-looking person in Ethiopia, or Guatemala, somewhere hot—it doesn’t really matter. I’m also going to say some words that, combined with these images, should make you feel better.
現在，我了解你不會想要把咖啡帶來的化學回饋和這種事連結在一起，賺的錢比你少許多的人正被低價剝削來種植和採收這些又苦又滿是毒品的種子。所以我想要再給你看看更多畫面，這次是一位勤奮、滿臉喜悅的人，他在衣索比亞，或瓜地馬拉，某個很熱的地方－－其實不太重要。我也要來說一些詞，結合這些影像，那應該會讓你覺得好受點。
Organic.
有機。
Cooperative.
協同合作。
Sustainable.
永續發展。
Ethical…um…ethics.
合乎道德的…呃…道德。
I could bore you with the details and complexities of the international commodities market, or I could just say, “Hey, look! This burlap bag of beans has ‘Fair Trade’ stamped on it."
我可以用國際商品市場的細節和繁瑣事物讓你感到厭煩，或者我可以就說：「嘿，你看！這袋粗麻布袋的豆子上面印有『公平貿易』耶。」
That’s good…right?
那很好呀…是吧？
Sure! Or at any rate, it lets you plausibly deny that your happiness fix relies on somebody else’s misery. Now the only thing that’ll keep you up at night is the central nervous system stimulant you consume on a daily basis via this mix of heated water and roasted, smashed-up seeds.
當然！或至少，它讓你貌似合理地否認你的快樂泉源是建立在別人的痛苦之上。現在唯一會讓你夜晚失眠的東西，只有你每天攝取的中樞神經系統興奮劑，透過這杯熱水與烘烤過且搗碎的種子的混和物。
Why are you doing this? Why are you telling us this?!
你為什麼要這麼做？你為什麼要告訴我們這個？！
You’re really cranky when you haven’t had your coffee, you know that? There you go…a nice warm cup of your personality. Drink it up!
你還沒喝咖啡時真的很暴躁不安耶，你知道嗎？就是這樣…極棒又溫暖的一杯人品。乾杯吧！
We have always been fascinated by coffee’s potential. Single-origin coffees have a distinct regional taste and flavor profile in the cup. Curiosity pushes us to explore combining these unique flavors—this is a blend.
我們總是被咖啡的可能性所深深吸引著。單品咖啡在杯中有一種獨特的區域口感以及風味特性。好奇心驅使我們探索將這些獨特風味混和在一起－－這是綜合咖啡。
Just as a chef combines ingredients into a dish that’s one of a kind, our coffee masters craft with coffees from around the globe. These distinctive blends celebrate coffee’s potential and our heritage. And each blend opens a new story, taste, and world unto itself.
正如大廚將食材搭配成一道獨一無二的料理，我們的咖啡大師運用來自全球的咖啡品種。這些與眾不同的綜合咖啡頌揚咖啡的可能性以及我們的傳承。每一種綜合咖啡都開啟獨特的全新故事、口感，以及世界。
So this morning, I went to Starbucks. You know Starbucks. You’ve heard of Starbucks? Yup. There’s one on the corner next to the Starbucks across from the Starbucks.
今天早上我去了星巴克。你知道星巴克。聽過星巴克吧？沒錯。轉角那有一家在星巴克對面那家星巴克旁邊的星巴克。
Go in there for coffee—should be simple. You go in, you order; they say, “What’s your name?" You tell them your name. A few minutes later, they hand you a coffee that says “Helen." You know.
進去那點咖啡－－應該沒什麼困難。你進去、點餐；店員說：「你的名字是？」你告訴他們你的名字。幾分鐘後，他們遞給你一杯寫著「Helen」的咖啡。你懂的。
Should be easy—it’s not. First, there’s a long line. Why is there a line? I mean, there are more Starbucks in the world than there are people. We should all—we should have our individual Starbucks by now.
應該要很簡單－－並不簡單。首先，有一條長長的排隊隊伍。怎麼要排隊哩？我是說，世界上的星巴克都比人多了。我們應該都－－我們現在應該都有個人專屬星巴克吧。
I think one reason is—the line is so long because there are people don’t know what to order. That’s one of the things. These people, they go every single day, and then they just stare up at the menu. Like seeing it for the first time. It’s the same menu. Nothing’s changed. They have coffee, they have tea, and they have Michael Buble CDs. Choose something!
我想一個原因是－－隊伍那麼長，因為有人不知道要點什麼。那是其中一件事。這些人，他們每天都去星巴克，然後他們就只是傻傻看著飲料目錄。就像第一次看到它一樣。那是同樣的飲料目錄。什麼都沒變。星巴克有咖啡、有茶，然後他們還有 Michael Buble 的 CD。選一樣就好啦！
And then there are the people who know what they want, but they’re…they—it’s so complicated. That’s the problem with it. There’s a woman in front of me, she ordered a…a mocha no-foam extra-whip sugar-free double-shot non-fat vanilla iced Ariana Grande. And…
然後有知道自己要什麼的人，不過他們…他們－－有夠複雜的。那就是問題所在。我前面有一個女人，她點一杯…一杯摩卡無奶泡多鮮奶油無糖雙份濃縮咖啡無脂香草小天后大杯星冰樂(註一)。然後…
Then after you place your order, you walk over to the barista station, which is a fancy name for “coffee-pourer person," and— This is a place where people stand as close to the counter as they possibly can, even though there are 12 people waiting for their order that were before them.
接著你點完咖啡後，你走去咖啡調理師櫃台，那是「倒咖啡的人」比較厲害的名字，然後－－ 這是一個大家都盡可能要站得離櫃檯很近的地方，就算前面有十二個人在等他們的咖啡了。
And then, after you get your coffee, you have a seat, which—you can’t find a seat. It’s impossible, because I call them “Starbucks Squatters." That’s what they—they order one coffee, and then they sit there…eight to 12 hours. And they bring so much stuff with them. It looks like they’re moving in. They have a newspaper. They have a book, a charger, a laptop, extension cords, a cot…pictures of their family, a personal assistant, a garden hose—I don’t know why.
然後，你拿到咖啡後，你有座位，那－－你找不到半個位子。不可能有位子，因為我叫他們「星巴克非法居民」。那就是他們－－他們點一杯咖啡，接著他們就坐在那…八到十二個小時。他們帶了一堆東西。看起來就像他們要搬進去住一樣。他們有一份報紙。他們有一本書、充電器、筆電、延長線、一張折疊床…家人的照片、個人助理、花園水管－－不知道幹嘛帶。
No one should spend that much time at a Starbucks, which brings me to the dress code. And I’ve mentioned this before, but spandex bike shorts are not acceptable. A. You’re sweaty. B. No one wants to see you dig in there for exact change. There is nothing worse than a warm dollar.
沒有人應該花那麼多時間在星巴克，那讓我想到服儀規定。我之前提過這，不過彈性單車短褲是不可接受的。A. 你臭汗淋漓。B. 沒人想看你在單車短褲裡挖零錢。沒有什麼比殘有體溫的錢更糟了。
Uh-oh. Did you wanna see more videos? Hold on.
喔喔。想看更多影片嗎？等等。
註一：Ariana Grande 是美國流行小天后，因為名字聽起來太像星巴克飲品，所以就有人嘗試點了一杯，而店員也真的特製出 Ariana Grande 口味的星冰樂。Grande 剛好是杯子尺寸的「大杯」，故此處譯作「小天后大杯星冰樂」增添趣味。
Hey, guys! I’m Lucie Fink. This is “five days of no coffee."
嘿大家！我是 Lucie Fink。這是「五天不喝咖啡挑戰」。

星期一
I love coffee. I myself started drinking it at about age 15. I drink about two to four cups of coffee every day. But I don’t think that I drink it only for energy. I genuinely enjoy coffee. Coffee is such a huge part of social culture around the world. I mean, think about it, when you go to meet up with a friend that you haven’t seen in a while, where do you go? To get a cup of coffee!
我愛咖啡。我自己在十五歲左右開始喝。我每天大概喝二到四杯咖啡。不過我不認為自己只是為了提神才喝。我真心喜歡咖啡。咖啡是全世界社交文化如此重要的一部分。我是說，想想看，當你和一個一陣子沒看到的朋友約見面時，你會去哪？喝一杯咖啡！
There are so many proven benefits of coffee, but there are also some drawbacks. It can be dehydrating, it can disrupt sleep patterns, caffeine increases your stress hormone, and also, coffee tends to lead to unplanned trips to the bathroom (side note). So, I’m going off of it this week, and we’ll see how my body responds.
喝咖啡有許多經證明的好處，不過也有一些壞處。咖啡可能造成脫水、可能打亂睡眠型態、咖啡因會增加你的壓力荷爾蒙，還有，咖啡容易讓你意外多去廁所幾趟(題外話)。所以，我這禮拜要戒咖啡，然後我們就知道我的身體會如何反應了。
I have a garbage can here. I didn’t just pour that on the floor. Gotcha!
這有一個垃圾桶。我沒有直接倒在地板上啦。騙到你了！
I have a really bad headache, and I’ve had it all freaking day. It was almost as if the moment I started thinking this morning, my head started hurting. Happy Monday. Good night.
我頭超痛，而且已經痛一整天了。幾乎是在我今天早上開始思考那刻，我的頭就開始痛了。星期一快樂。晚安。
Tuesday
星期二
Hi. The sun hurts. Twenty-four hours with no coffee… I didn’t think I needed coffee, but let me tell you, I was wrong. Yesterday’s headache was just the tip of the iceberg. Today’s is even worse. Yesterday I felt really disorganized. I had a couple of morning meetings that I just could not pull myself together, and papers were flying around my desk! People would come over to talk to me and I continuously forgot what I was about to say. Blame it on the fact that it was Monday or blame it on the lack of coffee—who knows.
嗨。太陽好刺眼。二十四小時沒喝咖啡… 我之前不覺得我需要咖啡，但告訴你，我錯了。昨天的頭痛不過是冰山一角。今天更慘。昨天我覺得思緒很沒條理。我早上要開幾個會，我就是沒辦法集中精神，然後文件還在我桌上四處飛！人們過來和我說話然後我一直忘記我要說什麼。把錯推給昨天是星期一，或是怪沒有咖啡吧－－天曉得。
But instead of just giving in and assuming I must be addicted to coffee, I decided to do some research about foods that naturally will energize my body and make me feel more alert and awake. So here’s what I got: some fresh fruit for natural sugar, trail mix, dark chocolate, and in the fridge, I have coconut water and get this…raw sauerkraut. Let’s do this. Ouch…
不過我沒有就這樣讓步然後覺得我一定是咖啡成癮，我決定調查一下哪些食物能自然幫我的身體充電，還有讓我感覺更頭腦清醒些。所以這裡是我得到的結果：一些新鮮水果來提供天然糖分、綜合堅果、黑巧克力，然後冰箱裡我冰了椰子水，還有這個…沒加工的德式酸菜。來吧。痛啊…
Wednesday
星期三
I made a mistake this morning. The point of this five days was to give up coffee, which naturally led to me giving up caffeine, considering coffee is my biggest source of caffeine. So I thought I was being so good and I poured myself a cup of tea instead of coffee. You know, I had another cup…and another cup. Later in the day, my co-producer asked me, “What are you drinking?" And I said, “Tea." She looked at me and asked, “Can I see the label for that?" As it turns out—and I’m so ashamed—I was drinking caffeinated black tea.
我今天早上犯了個錯。這五天挑戰的重點是戒掉咖啡，那很自然就連到我戒掉咖啡因，有鑑於咖啡是我最主要的咖啡因來源。所以我想說我做得很好，然後我替自己倒了杯茶而非咖啡。你知道，我喝了另一杯…又一杯。那天稍晚，我的協同製作人問我：「妳在喝什麼？」我回：「茶。」她看著我然後問：「我可以看看那的標籤嗎？」結果呢－－我覺得很羞愧－－我喝的是含咖啡因紅茶。
Since one cup of black tea has half of the caffeine content of a cup of coffee, and I had three cups of tea, I have today had 1.5 cups of coffee’s worth of caffeine. Needless to say, my headaches are gone. If nothing else, this grand mistake of mine has taught me that the headaches and the irritability were from a lack of caffeine. Even still, without the headaches, and even with all the food I’ve been eating to keep my energy levels up, I still want coffee.
因為一杯紅茶含一杯咖啡的一半咖啡因含量，然後我喝了三杯茶，所以我今天喝下一杯半咖啡的咖啡因含量。不用說，我的頭痛沒了。至少，這個天大的錯誤告訴我，頭痛和易怒確實是缺少咖啡因造成的。然而即使頭不痛了，還有即使有我吃的那所有提神的食物，我還是想喝咖啡。
Today, I ran out in the rain, and I went to a coffee shop, and I just sat there and inhaled the fumes. Do you see how crazy this week is making me?
今天，我在雨中跑出去，我去了間咖啡廳，然後我就只是坐在那吸咖啡的香氣。你看到這禮拜把我搞得多瘋了吧？

My five days of no-coffee challenge has turned into a big, buzzing topic around the R29 office. Everyone’s got a coffee story. This person drinks coffee for two weeks and then goes off of it so that they don’t get addicted. This other person drank so much coffee that she became allergic to it. That is a true story.
我的五天不喝咖啡挑戰已經變 R29 辦公室的熱門話題。每個人都有咖啡故事。這個人喝咖啡喝了兩個星期然後戒掉，這樣才不會上癮。另一個人喝太多咖啡，喝到變對咖啡過敏。那可是真實故事。
My focus this week was to really dive deep and understand my personal relationship with that dark, steaming roast. As we saw, on Monday and Tuesday, I’m kind of addicted to caffeine. To be honest, even though the caffeine got rid of my headaches, caffeine alone doesn’t cut it. That feeling for me of holding a cup of coffee and just inhaling and breathing deeply, taking that first sip—it’s a mind, body, and soul experience. So, I’m not sure that I’m addicted as one would say, but I might be…in love. Interesting.
我這禮拜的重點是真的深入探索並了解我自己和那濃黑、冒著蒸氣的烘焙咖啡的關係。如我們所見，星期一和星期二，我有點咖啡因成癮。老實說，即使咖啡因解決掉我的頭痛，單只有咖啡因還是不夠。對我來說，手握一杯咖啡然後深吸一口氣的感覺、啜飲那第一口－－那是身心靈的體驗。所以，我不太確定我是人家說的對咖啡上癮，但我可能…戀愛了。有意思。

星期五
Happy Friday, guys! Wow, what a week! Am I right? Let’s break down how the week went, shall we?
大家，週五快樂！哇，真精采的一週！對吧？我們來簡單講一下這禮拜過得怎樣，好嗎？
Cons: massive headaches, irritability, and the inability to form sentences. Pros: I was able to get to sleep a little bit easier than I am normally and, potentially, made fewer trips to the bathroom. So, where does that leave me? Clearly, some addictive personality traits that I didn’t even know I had came shining through this week, so I really learned a lot about myself and my addiction. Nothing in my life can really replace a cup of coffee.
壞處：嚴重頭痛、易怒，還有說話無法成句。好處：我能夠比平常稍微容易入睡些，還有，很可能，少去幾趟廁所。所以，這挑戰對我有什麼意義？很顯然，有一些以前我甚至沒發現的成癮人格特質在這禮拜全都顯現出來，所以我真的認識自己和我的咖啡癮許多。我生命中沒有任何事物能真正取代一杯咖啡。
