各大品牌也为了迎合打工人的需求,也是出现各种口味的咖啡,让人应接不暇。
有些朋友可能会想到“thick”,因为它作为形容词可以表示(液体)稠的,浓的,比如:
但是说咖啡浓一般不用这个表达,而是说“strong”。虽然我们都知道“strong”有强壮的意思,但是它还可以指“(味道、气味等)浓的,重的,强烈的”。
例:This coffee is too strong for me.

相应地,如果觉得咖啡太淡了,可以用“weak”来形容,它也表示“(饮品)稀的,味淡的”。
I can't stand weak coffee.
The tea tastes weak and cheap.
此处的浓、淡也可以理解为深、浅,比如:dark green(深绿色)、light blue(浅蓝色),另外形容颜色“浅的”还可以用pale。
She wore a pale blue hat.
妆容的浓与淡:a lot of & a little
除此之外,也可以用heavy来形容妆浓,用natural来形容妆自然。
I put on a little eye make-up.我在眼部上了淡妆。
She wears a lot of make-up.她化的妆很浓。
He didn't even try to conceal his dislike for her heavy make-up.他甚至不愿掩饰对她的浓妆艳抹的厌恶。
I prefer natural make-up.我更喜欢淡妆。
