英語播客初級版 第142期(外教講解):去市場買肉

Butcher: Hi. What can I get for you?

Gina: I’d like a half a pound of ground beef, please.

Butcher: Good choice! Our ground beef is extra lean, if you know what I mean.

Gina: Could I also have half a dozen pork chops and two pounds of boneless chicken breasts?

Butcher: No, no no no chicken breasts at the moment, but we have some nice chicken thighs.

Gina: No, that won’t do. I’ll take this smoked ham you have here.

Butcher: Okay, is there anything else?

Gina :Do you have any other cold cuts? Is this salami and bologna you have here?

Butcher: Yes! It’s very fine meat! Made it myself...

Gina: Sounds good. Okay, that’s it.

Butcher: Wait! We have T-bone, rib eye, and sirloin steaks. They are very fresh! Just came from the slaughter house...

Gina :Mmm... No that’s okay, really. I think that’s all for today.

Butcher: Okay. That will be thirty-four dollars and fifty cents.
