在自己享用醇美咖啡的时候,多买一杯留给囊中羞涩却喜爱咖啡的人享用,这样口中的咖啡是否会更加美味呢?这就是最近在网络上疯传的“待用咖啡”爱心传递活动。
The idea, begun in Naples, Italy, and called “Suspended Coffee” — i.e., a customer pays for a coffee and “banks” it for someone less fortunate who could use a jolt of caffeine and good will — has become an international internet sensation with coffee shops in Europe and North America participating in the movement.
起源于意大利那不勒斯的“待用咖啡”理念已在全球互联网上掀起热潮,欧洲和北美的很多咖啡馆均参与其中。“待用咖啡”就是指顾客付了一杯咖啡的钱,然后将这杯咖啡“存”在咖啡馆,供某个不太幸运的人在想喝杯咖啡并祈求好运时免费享用。
The tradition of “suspended coffee” — or “caffe sospeso” in Italian — is a long-standing tradition in Italy that increased in popularity after World War II. It has been identified as a symbol of grassroots social solidarity, prompting its revival in response to the 2008 recession and ensuing eurozone crisis.
在意大利由来已久的“待用咖啡”传统在二战后得到普及。“待用咖啡”被看做是草根社会团结的标志,并在2008年全球经济衰退及后来的欧元区危机期间重新焕发活力。
