Without context, it's still a reasonable translation. I guess the idiomatic English in that situation would be "When the coffee is gone, it's gone.", or maybe "Refills of coffee will not be provided".
- alistairSH 4y agoI’d love to see the original setting. Was the sign intended to tell the consumer that no fresh coffee would be made, or that there are no free refills? The museum setting (in front of an empty coffee maker) implies the first, but I suspect the second was intended?
- projektfu 4y agoIt says, when this coffee has run out, it is finished. Basically, this pot will not be refilled. I can imagine at a hotel where there is free coffee in the lobby but just in the morning.
