You may know that more people drink coffee than tea around the world.And that,after oil,it is the second biggest traded commodity(商品).You may also know that the drink comes from beans which are first roasted(烘干)and then ground(磨碎).But what else do you know about this popular drink?
It is said that the story of coffee started with an Ethiopian(埃赛俄比亚的)goatherd(牧羊人)named Kaldi.One day Kaldi was surprised to see that his goats were behaving very strangely.Instead of eating grass quietly,they were jumping around,almost dancing.He also noticed some red “cherries”from a plant that the goats were eating.He tried some himself and was surprised by the feeling of happiness and excitement.He felt like dancing too!
But it wasn’t used as a drink at first—it was used as food.The coffee berries(咖啡豆),mixed with animal fat,were used by monks(僧侣)to stay awake during long hours of prayer(祈祷).From Ethiopia,coffee was later grown in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed there around AD 1000.Three centuries later Muslims(穆斯林)were keen coffee drinkers and as Islam(伊斯兰教)spread,so did coffee.Coffee houses appeared in Cairo and Mecca.
For hundreds of years the plants were protected safely.But some beans were smuggled(偷运)out of Arabia and taken to India.In the 17th century,coffee was soon grown in a new continent.From India to Indonesia,a century later the beans were once again smuggled to Brazil.Brazil is now the largest coffee producer in the world.
It was the caffeine(咖啡因)that made the goats dance and kept the monks awake.Although it is found in other soft drinks and tea,coffee has the most caffeine.In the short term,a couple of cups of coffee can prevent fatigue(疲惫)and delay sleep.But several cups a day,every day,can cause anciety and restlessness.
你可能知道,世界上更多的人喜欢咖啡而不是茶.并且,继石油之后,咖啡是第二大交易品.你可能也知道这种饮料来自于先烘干再磨碎的咖啡豆.但是关于这种流行的饮料,你还知道些别的吗?
  据说咖啡的故事源自埃塞俄比亚的一个叫KALDI的牧羊人.一天KALDI惊奇的发现他的羊行为很奇怪,除了吃草吃的快,它们还到处蹦跳,好象在跳舞一般.他还注意到羊正在吃的植物上有一些红色的”樱桃”.他自己尝了一点,惊叹于它的快乐和刺激感.他也感觉在跳舞一般.但是一开始,咖啡并没有用作一种饮料-----它被作为食物.咖啡豆混合着动物脂肪,被僧侣在长时间的祈祷后用来提神.咖啡在公元1000年时从埃塞俄比亚流传到也门,并发展成了第一种热饮.三个世纪后,穆斯林成了忠实的咖啡饮用者,并且,随着伊斯兰教的传播,咖啡也越传越广.咖啡屋遍布于开罗和麦加.
  几百年过去了,这种植物被安全的保护着.但是也有一些咖啡豆被偷运出阿拉伯并带往印度.在17世纪,咖啡豆慢慢生长在新的大洲.从印度到印度尼西亚,一个世纪后,咖啡豆又被偷运到巴西.巴西就成为了现在世界上最大的咖啡豆产地.
  正是咖啡因使得山羊跳舞,让僧侣保持清醒.虽然咖啡因也被发现存在于其他的柔和的饮料和茶中,但是咖啡有最多的咖啡因.在短时期内,一杯咖啡能抵制疲惫,推延睡眠.但是一天几杯的话,常此以往,就会让你焦虑和烦躁不安.
