Turkish Coffee with a Twist  不只是咖啡!土耳其咖啡占卜
by Jamie Blackler

Find out how Turks are turning their coffee cups into crystal balls.
了解土耳其人如何將他們的咖啡杯變成水晶球。

   Aside from tea, coffee is the world's most popular beverage. _(1)_ In Italy, espressos are slowly sipped from tiny cups at roadside cafés. Coffee connoisseurs in France invented the French press for making it fresh. People in Turkey also have their own method of enjoying a hot cup of joe.
  The first key to enjoying Turkish-style coffee is the preparation. Turkish coffee beans are roasted multiple times. Then, they are ground to a fine powder. _(2)_ This method produces a thin layer of foam once the coffee has boiled. This helps to give Turkish coffee its distinctive flavor. However, the most interesting aspect of Turkish coffee culture has nothing to do with how it tastes.
  Since the 16th century, drinking coffee has been linked to fortune telling in Turkey. _(3)_ When each person finishes their coffee, they will turn the cup over on top of a plate. Then, they will give the cup a swirl and make a wish. Afterwards, their friends will pick up the cup and study the shape of the remaining coffee powder. _(4)_ The friends might talk about the possibility of a new romance or give advice on how to solve a problem. All in all, it's a light-hearted affair. Most predictions are positive things that their friends will enjoy hearing. _(5)_ So if you're looking to strengthen your bonds with friends and family, try serving them a cup of coffee—the Turkish way!
(A) After observing the shapes, they will interpret what it means.
(B) Next, the coffee, water, and sugar are heated on a stove top in a tiny pot called a cezve.
(C) The main purpose of the session is to build closer relationships with others.
(D) The fortune teller predicted that my friend would hit the jackpot in the future.

不只是咖啡!土耳其咖啡占卜
了解土耳其人如何將他們的咖啡杯變成水晶球。

   除了茶之外,咖啡是世界上最受歡迎的飲品。儘管全球各地的人都在享用咖啡,許多國家卻已發展出自己獨特的咖啡文化。在義大利,街頭咖啡館的人們用小杯子慢慢啜飲著濃縮咖啡。法國的咖啡鑑賞家則發明法式濾壓壺(編按:又稱濾壓壺(press pot)或咖啡濾壓壺,是由玻璃杯和金屬濾網組成的咖啡烹煮工具。)來製作現泡咖啡。而土耳其人也有自己享用一杯熱咖啡的方式。
  享受土耳其式咖啡的第一個關鍵是準備工作。土耳其咖啡豆會被烘烤多次。然後,它們會被磨成粉末。接著,咖啡、水和糖在爐上一個稱作「黃銅咖啡壺」的小壺中加熱。這種方法在咖啡一沸騰時,便會產生一層薄薄的泡沫。這有助於為土耳其咖啡增添獨特風味。然而,土耳其咖啡文化中最有趣的方面卻與它嚐起來如何無關。
  自十六世紀以來,飲用咖啡在土耳其已經與占卜連結在一起。土耳其人喜歡和朋友一起喝咖啡。每個人喝完咖啡時,他們會把杯子倒過來蓋在盤子上。接著,他們會轉動杯子並許願。隨後,他們的朋友會拿起杯子並觀察殘餘咖啡渣的形狀。在觀察形狀之後,他們會解讀該形狀所代表的意思。朋友可能會談論新戀情的可能性,或是就如何解決問題提供建議。總而言之,這是一件輕鬆愉快的事情。大多數預言都是他們的朋友樂意聽見的正面解讀。這種活動的主要目的是與他人建立更緊密的關係。因此,若你想要加強與朋友和家人的聯繫,試試看招待他們一杯咖啡吧 ── 以土耳其飲用咖啡的方式!
