在外國咖啡店點咖啡，最尷尬的不是英文不好，而是你以為自己說得很清楚，店員卻聽得一頭霧水。
很多人會說：
✘ I want a coffee.
這句不是錯，但太籠統了。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGv7yTDZtc
因為咖啡有很多種，店員可能會追問：
What kind of coffee would you like?203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylJ9xbJxtO
你想要哪一種咖啡？

如果你想點一杯拿鐵，可以說：

我可以要一杯拿鐵嗎？
或者更自然一點：
I’ll have a latte, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeWm65JR4W
我要一杯拿鐵，謝謝。
如果店員問：
What size would you like?203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdHq1FkOCk
請問要什麼尺寸？
你可以回答：
Small, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMgrPZ0Zqx
小杯，謝謝。
Medium, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8mFEtWA4O
中杯，謝謝。
Large, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBhlqKzToM
大杯，謝謝。
有時店員也會問：
Would you like that hot or iced?203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKq8GJX5y1
你要熱的還是冰的？
你可以回答：
Hot, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOonSlbvCdH
熱的，謝謝。
Iced, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKd0MW5aeA
冰的，謝謝。
如果你想加燕麥奶，可以說：
With oat milk, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWPVIGE1yu
加燕麥奶，謝謝。
如果不要糖，可以說：
No sugar, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV84SFciFHS
不要糖，謝謝。
如果你想要外帶，可以加一句：
To go, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoog5MCCVZ4
外帶，謝謝。
一段自然對話可以是這樣：
Staff: Hi, what can I get for you?203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCjatcAS5B
你好，請問要什麼？
You: Could I have a medium latte with oat milk, please?203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx6nqe822c
我可以要一杯中杯燕麥奶拿鐵嗎？
Staff: For here or to go?203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uOfVLByPo
內用還是外帶？
You: To go, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNOwiQyilX
外帶，謝謝。
有些說法雖然聽得懂，但會有點奇怪。例如：
✘ I want one coffee.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchh6QL7q0y
聽起來太直接，也不夠自然。
可以改成：
I’ll have a coffee, please.
又例如：
✘ Give me a latte.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmFLMrZsrz
這句像命令，語氣太硬。
可以改成：
Could I have a latte, please?
還有很多人會說：
✘ I want ice latte.
比較自然的說法是：
I’d like an iced latte, please.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvJ0uPXTzc
我想要一杯冰拿鐵，謝謝。
重點不是背完整張咖啡菜單，而是學會一個自然句型：
Could I have a + size + coffee name + with milk type, please?
例如：
Could I have a large iced latte with oat milk, please?203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5kImXhRTv
我可以要一杯大杯冰燕麥奶拿鐵嗎？
下次去咖啡店，不用只說 coffee。說出尺寸、咖啡種類、冷熱和奶類選擇，店員就會很容易明白你想要什麼。
