每日背誦第四期47
As legend goes, coffee berries were first discovered in 850 by an Ethiopian goat herder who noticed his goats were much friskier after having eaten the red berries of a local bush. After trying the berries himself, the goat herder felt much more energetic than usual. He disseminated the news about the wonderful berry, and soon monks were hailing it as an elixir and drinking the brew to stay awake during evening prayers.
傳說(shuō)咖啡的果實(shí)是公元850年一個(gè)埃塞俄比亞牧羊人發(fā)現(xiàn)的：他注意到山羊吃了當(dāng)?shù)啬撤N灌木的紅色果實(shí)之后便活蹦亂跳起來(lái)。他自己嘗了一下，發(fā)現(xiàn)比平常更精力充沛。他到處去說(shuō)這種神奇果子的消息，沒多久，僧侶們就將其奉為仙丹，晚禱時(shí)喝它的釀造物而不會(huì)入睡。
(短文節(jié)選,本篇始于：喝咖啡也要思源)
