This is 6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Mmm,
2
a quick sip of my coffee just to get me in the mood for today's programme.
3
Welcome to 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
4
I'm Rob.
5
And I'm Finn.
6
Rob, you seem to be enjoying that cup of coffee.
7
Yes, indeed.
8
I love all styles of coffee.
9
That's coffee made in different ways.
10
You could say, I'm a coffee addict.
11
An addict.
12
That's someone who likes doing a particular activity very much and they can't stop doing it.
13
And if you have a strong need to keep drinking coffee, then we could say you have an addiction.
14
That's me.
15
And that's what we're talking about today.
16
Coffee addiction.
17
and we'll be talking about the dangers of drinking too much.
18
Another word for drinking here is consuming.
19
We'll look at some other coffee-related language in today's programme too.
20
But first, Rob, how about a question?
21
Yes, of course.
22
I have a coffee-related question to ask you.
23
OK.
24
Do you know which country drinks the most coffee per person?
25
Is it A.
26
Egypt, B.
27
Finland, or C.
28
Italy?
29
I think they're all coffee-drinking countries, but I'll say B.
30
Finland.
31
OK.
32
As always, I will let you know the answer at the end of the programme.
33
Thank you.
34
OK, Finn, I haven't asked you yet if you drink coffee, so do you?
35
I do, Rob, yes, but only in moderation, so that means not too much.
36
I love the taste and the smell, especially.
37
We could call that the aroma.
38
But it's the caffeine contained in the drink that can have a bad effect.
39
If I drink too much, it can give me headaches.
40
Right.
41
Well, for me, it's the caffeine that keeps me awake.
42
OK.
43
It stimulates my brain.
44
It makes me more alert.
45
That's why we call caffeine a stimulant.
46
Caffeine can also be found in energy and cola drinks and even in tea.
47
Mmm.
48
The New Scientist magazine says caffeine is a psychoactive drug and
49
that 90% of people in the United States consume it every day.
50
Psychoactive drug.
51
So what does that mean?
52
It's a drug that affects how a person feels and sometimes how they behave.
53
The drug can be found in food, like waffles and chewing gum, surprisingly, not just in drinks.
54
That's why scientists who study public health are worried people don't know how much caffeine they are taking.
55
Indeed.
56
Too much caffeine can lead to insomnia.
57
So that's when you can't sleep. And indigestion.
58
So that's a pain in your stomach when it can't process the food that you've just eaten.
59
And finally, high blood pressure.
60
So blood flowing around your body at a higher pressure than is normal.
61
That's dangerous.
62
Well, sometimes drinking coffee does stop me sleeping and sometimes I feel very alert.
63
then very lethargic.
64
You know, that's not having any energy.
65
But I still can't give up.
66
And Rob, you're not alone.
67
We asked people on our BBC Learning English Facebook page how they felt about coffee and we had a lot of responses.
68
Yumiko says, My happiest time is smelling coffee beans just after grinding it.
69
Fresh roasted coffee has a really good fragrance.
70
Fragrance is a word usually associated with perfume, but I think she just means the good smell.
71
Samuel Le says, one cup of good espresso is the daily energy for my body and mind.
72
And Rasha claims, a cup of coffee every day is useful for our health.
73
Ahmed loves coffee too, but he says, be aware that too much coffee is not good for your health.
74
So there seem to be some good effects and some bad or negative effects of drinking coffee, Rob.
75
Well, I find that if I try to give up drinking coffee, I'll also get headaches and feel tired.
76
And these are what we call withdrawal symptoms – the nasty physical and mental effects of stopping.
77
Well, I may drink lots of coffee, but not as much as people in another country.
78
Finn, earlier I asked you if you knew the people of which country drink the most coffee.
79
And I said be Finland.
80
And guess what?
81
You were right.
82
Oh yes!
83
Yes, the people of Finland consume an incredible 12 kilograms of coffee per person every year.
84
That compares with the average consumption of 1.3 kilograms per person.
85
OK Finn, before we go there's just time for you to remind us of some of the words that we heard today.
86
We heard...
87
Addict.
88
Consuming. In moderation.
89
Aroma.
90
Caffeine.
91
Stimulant.
92
Psychoactive drug.
93
Insomnia.
94
Indigestion.
95
High blood pressure.
96
Lethargic. And...
97
Withdrawal symptoms.
98
Thanks, Finn.
99
Thank you, Rob.
100
Do join us again for another edition of 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
101
Bye for now.
102
Bye.

推荐视频
为什么用这个视频练习英语口语?
想通过看YouTube学英语,同时提升口语表达?这个关于“咖啡成瘾”的对话再合适不过了!它模拟了真实的日常交流场景,话题贴近生活,用词实用又地道。跟着视频进行shadow speech(影子跟读),不仅能锻炼听力和反应速度,还能学会如何自然地展开话题、表达观点。比如对话中Rob和Finn从咖啡喜好聊到健康影响,这种“闲聊+信息分享”的结构,正是日常生活中最常用的口语模式。坚持练习,你也能像他们一样流畅沟通!
语境中的语法与表达
视频里有不少值得学习的实用表达,一起来看看:
- “in moderation”:表示“适度地”。比如Finn说“only in moderation”,既说明了自己的习惯,又避免了绝对化表达,非常口语化。
- “contained in”:意为“包含在……中”。对话中提到“the caffeine contained in the drink”,用过去分词短语作后置定语,简洁又准确,比“the drink has caffeine”更高级。
- “stimulates my brain”:“刺激我的大脑”。这里用“stimulate”替换“make...active”,词汇更丰富,适合提升口语质感。
常见发音陷阱
练习发音时,这些单词要特别注意:
- caffeine:发音为/ˈkæfiːn/,容易误读成/ˈkæfɪn/,记得中间的“ei”发长音/iː/。
- psychoactive:这个词较长,重音在第一个音节/ˌsaɪkəʊˈæktɪv/,不要把重音放在“active”上。
- aroma:发音为/əˈrəʊmə/,注意“a”的弱读,不要读成/əˈrɒmə/。
跟着视频反复跟读,对比自己的发音和 native speaker 的区别,慢慢就能提高英语发音啦!别害怕出错,每一次练习都是进步的机会,加油!
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | haven't asked · you've just eaten |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的 | be found · can be found |
| 最高级 the -est / the most … — 一组中最高或最低的 | the most coffee · My happiest |
| “will” 表将来 will + 动词 — 决定、承诺或预测 | we'll be · We'll look · I'll say |
什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
