各位听众,大家好!今天我们为您播出“美语三级跳”节目“食物”单元的初级课程。
MC:Doug and Liz 正开车去超市买菜,可Doug忽然觉得饿了,想顺道先去快餐店买个汉堡吃。
Professor:Winnie, do you ever get hungry when you go shopping?
当然有啊,所以每次去超市前,我都先要吃得饱饱的,要不然,到了超市里,我就会看见什么买什么!
Doug:Hey Liz, I'm really hungry. Let's stop and eat something.
Liz:Alright, where do you want to eat?
Doug:There is a McDonalds nearby.
Liz:Fast food is so unhealthy. But if you are really hungry, we can go through the drive-through.
Doug:No, let's go inside. I don't want to spill my drink in the car.
Professor:So Winnie, did you hear where Doug wants to eat?
他想去McDonalds,就是麦当劳。不过,他说drive-through,就是中文里说的ǒ得来速ō,也就是不用下车的点餐服务窗口吧?
Professor:Exactly! Why doesn't Doug want to use the drive-through?
因为他不想在车上吃东西,怕饮料会洒在车上。我也觉得,边吃东西边开车是很危险的。
Professor:That's true. I guess there are two ways eating fast food can kill you.
MC:说得对! 吃太多快餐垃圾食品会把身体搞垮,如果边开车边吃还可能让你出车祸!
Cashier:Welcome to McDonalds! May I take your order?
Doug:Yes, I'd like two hamburgers, a large Coke and a large fries.
Cashier:Do you want anything, mam?
Liz:No thanks, I'm on a diet.
Cashier:For here or to go?
Doug:For here.
Cashier:Alright, that will be 11 dollars and 50 cents.
Liz 说,she is on a diet, 正在节食,所以不吃这些高热量的快餐。Doug 真应该向 Liz 学学。
Professor:Yes, fast food has a lot of fat in it. But Winnie, does Doug want the food "for here" or "to go"?
Doug 说for here, 也就是在餐厅里吃。如果说 "to go",就是打包带走的意思。
Professor:Yes. When you take food home from a restaurant, you can also say the food is for "take out." Now Doug and Liz are eating their food. Let's listen.
Doug:Do you want to eat my tomato? I don't like them. The only topping I like is ketchup.
Liz:Sure, I love tomatoes. They're a healthy food.
Doug:That's true. Are you sure you don't want anything?
Liz:Well I know the French fries are very unhealthy, but they look so good.
Doug:Come on Liz, try one. It won't kill you.
Liz:Well alright, I'll have just one.
Doug:Great! I'm going to get a refill of soda.
看来, Liz 的决心动摇了。虽然她一直在说快餐多没营养,可是一看到Doug的薯条,也忍不住要吃上一根。
Professor:That's right. And did you hear what topping Doug likes, and which one he doesn't like?
Doug 说, 在汉堡的所有佐料中,他只喜欢ketchup——番茄酱, 还说他不爱吃番茄。真奇怪,番茄酱不就是番茄做的嘛?
Professor:That's right. What does Doug say he is going to do at the end?
他说他要去refill他的饮料,Professor,refill, r-e-f-i-l-l, refill 就是续杯的意思吧?
Professor:Correct. When you go to a restaurant, you can ask the waiter, "Do you have free refills?"
嗯à这些碳酸饮料中的热量已经很高了,还要续杯?我看还是算了吧!
Professor:Now let's see what Doug says when he returns to the table.
Doug:Liz, where are all my fries? Did you eat them all?
Liz:I'm sorry, Doug. They were just so good! Once I started eating them, I couldn't stop.
Doug:Don't worry Liz. If I'm going to get really fat, you should get really fat too! We will look really cute together.
Liz:Wow, that is a really scary thought. I need to exercise right now!
啊?Liz 趁Doug不在,居然把他的薯条都吃了!不过,她显然不想和Doug一起变成胖子,所以说要马上去健身。不过首先,希望他们在超市能买些健康食品!
Professor:Well listen next time to find out!
A:看看!Liz 没坚持住!炸薯条这东西,吃一根就很难停下来的。
B:The craving for fast food is your worst enemy if you're on a diet. Your friends should be supportive, instead of waving a bag of fries in front of your face!
A:没错,减肥需要周围人的支持,可不能老拿炸薯条来考验咱们的意志力!好了,咱们继续听节目吧。在今天的礼节美语中,We'll continue to talk about product recall.
