參考譯文

星巴克不僅賣(mài)咖啡，還賣(mài)喝咖啡時(shí)的體驗(yàn)。星巴克咖啡店有高質(zhì)量的飲品、舒適的就餐環(huán)境和著名的品牌。在那里喝飲料有趣而時(shí)尚。

1971年，第一家星巴克在華盛頓州的西雅圖開(kāi)張。一開(kāi)始，它只是一家普通的咖啡店。到了20世紀(jì)80年代，它經(jīng)歷了一場(chǎng)巨變。店主們?cè)谟螝v意大利后，決定把星巴克改造成一家意式咖啡店。他們的想法取得了巨大成功。很快，美國(guó)的許多城市都有了星巴克。

20世紀(jì)90年代，星巴克開(kāi)始走向國(guó)際。它們于1995年在日本開(kāi)了第一家分店。此后，包括中國(guó)在內(nèi)的許多亞洲國(guó)家都有了星巴克。到2000年時(shí)，全世界的星巴克超過(guò)了3000家。

星巴克遠(yuǎn)不止賣(mài)咖啡。這家公司還參與許多社區(qū)活動(dòng)。比如，有一批經(jīng)理人叫做“綠色小分隊(duì)”。他們領(lǐng)導(dǎo)著當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)的回收項(xiàng)目。他們還從事種樹(shù)和清潔社區(qū)的活動(dòng)。另一個(gè)機(jī)構(gòu)叫做星巴克基金會(huì)，該機(jī)構(gòu)的任務(wù)是鼓勵(lì)年輕人讀書(shū)。

所以，下次你在星巴克要上一杯咖啡時(shí)，你會(huì)感到很欣慰，因?yàn)槟阒?，有些公司不是只想著掙錢(qián)，他們還關(guān)心你和周?chē)沫h(huán)境。
