　　All around the world, you can find people adding liquor◆ to coffee. However, few versions are as well known as the Irish coffee. This boozy◆ beverage is a perfect winter drink whether you are sitting by a fire or trying to warm up after being out in the rain. But exactly how did this drink come to be so popular?
　　According to legend, Irish coffee originated in the 1940s on the west coast of Ireland in the small village of Foynes. In 1943, a Pan Am seaplane bound for New York City took off—a trip that at that time took more than 24 hours. However, the crew was forced to return to Ireland when it encountered a storm over the Atlantic Ocean. Cold and wet, the passengers departed the plane and requested something to eat and drink. Joe Sheridan, the restaurant chef at the Foynes Flying Boat terminal, added a dash of whiskey to the cups of coffee he served. When asked if he had used Brazilian coffee beans, Sheridan replied that it was Irish coffee.
　　Sheridan then adjusted and tweaked◆ the recipe until he settled on a mixture of coffee, whiskey, and sugar topped with a floating layer of thick cream. To make the drink visually appealing, he served it in a stemmed glass◆ so the division between coffee and cream could be seen. Later, this concoction◆ was served to all passengers that flew through Foynes, including politicians, movie stars, and entertainers. Today, visitors at the Foynes Flying Boat Museum can see photos of stars, such as Marilyn Monroe, enjoying one of Sheridan's Irish coffees before the next leg◆ of their journey. They can also enjoy a glass of the boozy coffee prepared as it was more than 70 years ago.

介紹 find 作不完全及物動詞的用法
※ find 作不完全及物動詞時，加受詞後須再接受詞補語以補充說明受詞的狀態，表「發現／發覺受詞處於某種狀態」，受詞補語可以是名詞、形容詞、分詞或介詞片語，說明如下：
a. find + 受詞 + 現在分詞（表主動或動作正在進行，本句即屬此用法）
• When I got to the campsite, I found Brandon setting up the tent.
我抵達營地時，發現布蘭登正在搭帳篷。
b. find + 受詞 + 過去分詞（表被動或完成的狀態）

d. find + 受詞 + 介詞片語（表位置）
• You will find a bowl of soup on the kitchen counter.
你會在廚房流理臺上發現一碗湯。
※ find 作不完全及物動詞時，其後不可直接接不定詞片語（to + 原形動詞）作受詞，而要先用虛受詞 it 取代，加了補語（形容詞或名詞）後，再接不定詞片語，此不定詞片語才是真受詞，用法如下：
find it + Adj./N + to V　　
發現／覺得（做）……（是）……
• I find it impossible to stay in this cold room any longer.
我發現要在這冰冷的房間多待一會兒根本就不可能。

愛爾蘭咖啡　溫暖你我的心
　　

　　你在世界各地都可以發現人們將烈酒加到咖啡裡。不過，很少有跟愛爾蘭咖啡一樣有名的版本。不論你是坐在火爐旁邊、或是在雨天外出後想要暖暖身子，這種高酒精濃度的飲料都是完美的冬季飲品。但這種飲料到底是如何變得這麼受歡迎呢？
　　根據傳說，愛爾蘭咖啡起源於 1940 年代、位於愛爾蘭西岸的小村落福因斯。1943 年，一架即將前往紐約市的泛美航空水上飛機起飛 ── 這在當時是需費時超過二十四小時的旅程。然而，這架水上飛機在大西洋上空遇到暴風雨時，其機組人員被迫返回愛爾蘭。乘客又溼又冷地下了飛機，要求一些食物跟飲品。福因斯飛船航站的餐廳主廚喬•謝里丹在他供應的一杯杯咖啡中加入了些許的威士忌。當謝里丹被問及他是不是使用巴西咖啡豆時，他回道，那是愛爾蘭咖啡。
　　謝里丹接著調整並改良了配方，一直到他對於混合了威士忌和糖、上頭覆蓋著漂浮厚奶油的咖啡感到滿意。為了要讓這種飲品在視覺上吸引人，他將其放在高腳玻璃杯中呈上，如此一來，咖啡和奶油之間的分層就清楚可見。隨後，這種調合飲品為往來福因斯機場的所有旅客供應，包含政治家、電影明星和藝人。如今，福因斯飛船博物館的訪客可以見到像是瑪莉蓮•夢露等明星在下一趟旅程之前享用謝里丹的愛爾蘭咖啡的照片。他們也可以來一杯這種和七十多年前調製的方法一模一樣的含酒咖啡。
