Jennifer: What in the world is that smell?

Billy: The aroma of roasting coffee beans.

Jennifer: Smells like you're baking something. What are those?

Billy: Green beans. They pop and turn brown when you roast them.

Jennifer: Cool! But isn't that a hot air popcorn popper?

Billy: This machine roasts the beans just right. If you roast them too long, or the temperature is too hot...

Jennifer: The beans will burn. I know. I've tasted burnt coffee before...yuck!

在比利家

珍妮花：那是啥味道?

比　利：烘焙咖啡豆的香味。

珍妮花：闻味道还以为是你在烤什么东西吃。这些是啥?

比　利：生咖啡豆。当你烘焙它们的时候，它们就会爆开，并转成棕色。

珍妮花：酷!但那不是一台爆米花机吗?

比　利：用这机器来烘焙咖啡豆正好。要是烘焙过久，或是温度太高……

珍妮花：那么咖啡豆就会焦掉。我知道。我有喝过煮焦的咖啡……恶!
