The History of Coffee

The history and development of the beverage that we know as coffee is varied and interesting, involving chance occurrences, political intrigue, and the pursuit of wealth and power.

According to one story, a sheepherder named Kaldi as he tended his sheep noticed the effect of coffee beans on behavior. He noticed that the sheep became hyperactive after eating the red "cherries" from a certain plant when they changed pastures. He tried a few themselves, and was soon as overactive as his herd. The story relates that a monk happened by and scolded him for "partaking of the devil's fruit." However the monks soon discovered that this fruit from the shiny green plant could help them stay awake for their prayers.

Another legend gives us the name for coffee or "mocha." An Arabian was banished to the desert with his followers to die of starvation. In desperation, Omar had his friends boil and eat the fruit from an unknown plant. Not only did the broth save the exiles, but the residents of the nearest town, Mocha, took their survival as a religious sign. The plant and its beverage were named Mocha to honor this event.

One early use for coffee would have little appeal today. The Galla tribe from Ethiopia used coffee, but not as a drink. They would wrap the beans in animal fat as their only source of nutrition while on raiding parties. The Turks were the first countries to adopt it as a drink, often adding spices such as clove, cinnamon, cardamom and anise to the brew.
Coffee was introduced much later to countries beyond Arabia whose inhabitants believed it to be a delicacy and guarded its secret as if they were top secret military plans. The government forbade transportation of the plant out of the Moslem nations. The actual spread of coffee was started illegally. One Arab named Baba Budan smuggled beans to some mountains near Mysore, India, and started a farm there. Early in this century, the descendants of those original plants were found still growing fruitfully in the region.

Coffee was believed by some Christians to be the devil's drink. Pope Vincent III heard this and decided to taste it before he banished it. He enjoyed it so much and baptized it, saying, "coffee is so delicious it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it."

Coffee today is grown and enjoyed worldwide, and is one of the few crops that small farmers in third-world countries
can profitably export.

The History of Coffee
咖啡的历史
The history and development of the beverage that we know as coffee is varied and interesting, involving chance occurrences, political intrigue, and the pursuit of wealth and power.
咖啡作为一种饮料，它的历史和发展各式各样，且耐人寻味，其中经历了机缘巧合，政治阴谋以及对权利与财富的追逐之中。
According to one story, a sheepherder named Kaldi as he tended his sheep noticed the effect of coffee beans on behavior. He noticed that the sheep became hyperactive after eating the red "cherries" from a certain plant when they changed pastures. He tried a few themselves, and was soon as overactive as his herd. The story relates that a monk happened by and scolded him for "partaking of the devil's fruit." However the monks soon discovered that this fruit from the shiny green plant could help them stay awake for their prayers.
根据一个故事，一个叫卡迪的牧羊人在悉心照料他的羊群时发现了咖啡豆的作用。他注意到，当他们换了牧场后，羊群吃了某种植物上长得象樱桃的红色果实就变得异常活跃。他自己也尝试了几个，很快他就发现自己也和他的羊一样过于活跃了。故事发生到这，有个修道士恰巧经过，然后责备他吃了恶魔的果子。然而，修道士很快就发现这种细小的绿色植物可以帮助祈祷者保持清醒。
Another legend gives us the name for coffee or "mocha." An Arabian was banished to the desert with his followers to die of starvation. In desperation, Omar had his friends boil and eat the fruit from an unknown plant. Not only did the broth save the exiles, but the residents of the nearest town, Mocha, took their survival as a religious sign. The plant and its beverage were named Mocha to honor this event.
另外一个传说告诉我们什么是咖啡或者说摩卡。一个阿拉伯人和他的同伴被放逐到沙漠去饿死。在绝望中，奥玛使他的朋友们煮食一种不知名植物的果实。这个汤不仅救了被放逐着的人而且还救了最近一个叫摩卡镇上的居民。于是，摩卡的居民就把他们的存活当作是个宗教预示。为了纪念这件事，这种植物和它做成的饮料就被叫作摩卡。
One early use for coffee would have little appeal today. The Galla tribe from Ethiopia used coffee, but not as a drink. They would wrap the beans in animal fat as their only source of nutrition while on raiding parties. The Turks were the first countries to adopt it as a drink, often adding spices such as clove, cinnamon, cardamom and anise to the brew.
早期咖啡的使用对现在来说已经引不起人们的兴趣。从埃塞俄比亚来的盖拉部落使用咖啡，但不是作为饮料。他们将咖啡豆作为脂肪包在动物的身上，成为他们在袭击对手时的唯一营养来源。土耳其人第一个将它当作饮料，并且加入丁香、桂皮、小豆蔻和八角茴香等到饮料中。
Coffee was introduced much later to countries beyond Arabia whose inhabitants believed it to be a delicacy and guarded its secret as if they were top secret military plans. The government forbade transportation of the plant out of the Moslem nations. The actual spread of coffee was started illegally. One Arab named Baba Budan smuggled beans to some mountains near Mysore, India, and started a farm there. Early in this century, the descendants of those original plants were found still growing fruitfully in the region.
咖啡在以后很长一段时间才传到阿拉国半岛上的国家。那里的居民认为咖啡是一种美味佳肴，将它当作是最高级的军事计划一样保密。政府禁止咖啡运输到穆斯林以外的国家。实际上，咖啡的传播始于非法。一个名叫巴八伯丹的阿拉伯人走私咖啡豆到麦松，印度的一些山区，然后在那开始种植。这个世纪早期，在这个地区仍然能找到最初那些植物的后代繁茂的生长着。
Coffee was believed by some Christians to be the devil's drink. Pope Vincent III heard this and decided to taste it before he banished it. He enjoyed it so much and baptized it, saying, "coffee is so delicious it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it."
一些基督徒认为咖啡是魔鬼的饮料。教皇文森特三世听说了这件事，决定在禁封咖啡之前尝试一下。他很非常喜欢这种饮料，并且给它命了名。“咖啡是多么美味的东西啊，让异教徒独占它真是很可惜。“
Coffee today is grown and enjoyed worldwide, and is one of the few crops that small farmers in third-world countries can profitably export.
今天，棕色的咖啡被世界许多地方所喜爱，而且是极少第三世界国家的小农场主们出口获利的作物之一。

这么长，如果真的翻译的话肯定花费很多时间的，但是如果想应付你的话，直接google好了

这类翻译的问题，其实lz可以参考下google，然后组织一下自己的语言，完全可以译出来的

目前咖啡在我们的生活中已是不可或缺的饮料，静寂的森林深处悄悄自生的咖啡，到底是如何被人们发现而广为世界各地所接受的呢？还有，如何开始栽培的呢？在无数的咖啡发现传说中，有两大传说最令人津津乐道，那就是“牧羊人的故事”与“阿拉伯僧侣”。

十六世纪埃塞俄比亚有个牧羊人，有一天发现自己饲养的羊忽然在那儿不停的蹦蹦跳跳，他觉得非常不可思议，仔细加以观察，才明白原来羊吃了一种红色的果实。

于是他便拿着这种果实分给修道院的僧侣们吃，所有的人吃完后都觉得神清气爽；据说此后这种果实被用来做提神药，而且颇受医生们的好评。

一二五八年，因犯罪而被族人驱逐出境的酋长雪克·欧玛尔，流浪到离故乡摩卡很远的瓦萨巴( 位于阿拉伯 )时，已经饥饿疲倦到再也走不动了，当他坐在树根上休息时，竟然发现有一只鸟飞来停在枝头上，以一种他从未听过，极为悦耳的声音啼叫着。

他仔细一看，发现那只鸟是在啄食枝头上的果实后，才放开喉咙发出美妙的啼声的，所以他便将那一带的果实全采下放入锅中加水去熬煮。之后竟开始散发出浓郁的香味，喝了一口不但觉得好喝，而且还觉得疲惫的身心也为之一振。于是他便采下许多这种神奇果实，遇到病人便拿给他们熬成汤来喝，最后由于他四处行善，故乡的人便原谅了他的罪行，让他回到摩卡，并推崇他为「圣者」。

所有的历史学家似乎都同意咖啡的诞生地为埃塞俄比亚的咖发 ( Kaffa )，至于咖啡这个名称则是源自于阿拉伯语“Qahwah”，即植物饮料的意思。

后来咖啡流传到世界各地，就采用其来源地“Kaffa”命名，直到十八世纪才正式以“coffee”命名。
