Jess:This motor oil case is still really slippery.
Ann: Yeah, time for more coffee!
Jess:Sure, why not? I think I want a chocolate chip cookie, too.
Ann: By the way, I heard Kitty's just got in a shipment 1 of Jamaican Blue Mountain.
Jess:So what?
Ann: It's only the rarest coffee in the world! Didn't your momma teach you anything when you were growing up?
rare (a.)
稀有的
A: Is this pottery 2 expensive?
这个陶器贵不贵?
B: Yes, because it's very rare and unique.
贵,它很稀有,也很独特。
slippery (a.)
棘手的。原本意思是「滑溜溜的」,在此为双关语,因为「机油」就是滑溜溜的,而这个案子又很棘手
This floor is very slippery.
这一楼很滑。
shipment (n.)
装载的货物
Did you receive my magazine shipment?
你收到我寄送的杂志了吗?
之后,在办公室里聊天
洁丝: 这个机油的案子还是很棘手。
小安: 对呀,再去喝点咖啡吧!
洁丝: 好啊,有何不可?我想我也要来片巧克力碎片饼干。
小安: 顺道一提,我听说凯蒂咖啡刚进了一批牙买加蓝山。
洁丝: 那又怎样?
小安: 这是世上最稀有的咖啡!长到这么大,你妈从没教过你吗?
