Ann: That's brilliant! We can name the grades of motor oil by where they come from.

James: [Joking] “Mr. Mechanic, I'd like a nice Venezuelan blend this morning.”

Ann: “I think the Saudi Arabian will hit the spot today.”

James:But really, maybe this can work. Everyone loves coffee, and everyone needs motor oil.

Ann: A match made in heaven.


mechanic (n.)

机械工,修理工

The mechanic is fixing my car.

机械工正在修我的车。


blend (n.)

综合,混合,此指「综合咖啡豆」。

This is a nice espresso blend.

这是一包不错的义式浓缩综合咖啡豆。


Venezuelan (a.)

委内瑞拉的;Saudi Arabian (a.) 沙特阿拉伯的。委内瑞拉和沙特阿拉伯都是石油产国,所以James和Ann故意模仿咖啡以产地命名的作法,把指定机油的话说得像是在点咖啡

Venezuelan politics have been very complicated lately.

委内瑞拉的政治最近很纷杂。


hit the spot

(食物)合某人胃口,恰到好处

A: Are you full yet?

你饱了吗?

B: Yes, that really hit the spot.

是的,完全满足我的胃口。


小 安:太赞了!我们可以用机油的产国命名,以区分等级。

詹姆士:(开玩笑)「技师先生,我今天早上想来点委内瑞拉特调。」

小 安:「我想今天来点沙特阿拉伯口味挺合胃口的。」

詹姆士:但说真的,或许这行得通。人人都爱咖啡,人人也都需要机油。

小 安:真是天作之合啊。
