cup of coffee
基本释义
- 一杯咖啡：北美体育术语，指小联盟球员在大联盟级别短暂停留的时间。该术语的含义是球员只在大联盟待了一杯咖啡的时间，然后被送回小联盟。该术语起源于棒球，并在冰球中广泛使用，这两个职业联盟（MLB和NHL）都有广泛的农场系统；在篮球或美式足球中很少使用，因为NBA和NFL都没有实施真正的农场系统。

英英释义
- A "cup of coffee" is a North American sports idiom for a short time spent by a minor league player at the major league level. The idea behind the term is that the player was only in the big leagues long enough to have a cup of coffee before being returned to the minors, or simply to describe a brief stint served with a professional team.
