给你可能从未见过的人买杯咖啡，这个想法你觉得怎么样？suspended coffee（待用咖啡）光听名字，像是时下最流行的花哨咖啡技艺 (showy barista techniques)，但其实一杯“待用咖啡” 比一杯拉花漂亮的拿铁要温暖 (heartwarming) 得多。
Born in the cafes of Italy’s southern city of Naples (那不勒斯), the “caffe sospeso” (which means “suspended coffee”) is a tradition in which someone pays in advance (提前支付) for an extra （额额外的）cup or two, which can then be consumed （消费；享用） by a coffee-drinker-in-need later in the day. “待用咖啡” 的意大利语是caffe sospeso，这个传统起源于意大利南部城市那不勒斯的咖啡馆，在那里人们可以提前多买一两杯咖啡，给其他可能比较贫困的咖啡爱好者享用。
A customer-in-need can then later ask if there is a “suspended coffee” available (adj.可得到的；可享用的) and have a hot drink without having to pay for it.
