Doug and Liz正開(kāi)車去超市買菜,可Doug忽然覺(jué)得餓了,想順道先去快餐店買個(gè)漢堡吃。
Professor: Winnie, do you ever get hungry when you go shopping?
當(dāng)然有啊,所以每次去超市前,我都先要吃得飽飽的,要不然,到了超市里,我就會(huì)看見(jiàn)什么買什么!
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,就是麥當(dāng)勞。不過(guò),他說(shuō)drive-through,就是中文里說(shuō)的“得來(lái)速”,也就是不用下車的點(diǎn)餐服務(wù)窗口吧?
Professor: Exactly! Why doesn't Doug want to use the drive-through?
因?yàn)樗幌朐谲嚿铣詵|西,怕飲料會(huì)灑在車上。我也覺(jué)得,邊吃東西邊開(kāi)車是很危險(xiǎn)的。
Professor: That's true. I guess there are two ways eating fast food can kill you.
說(shuō)得對(duì)! 吃太多快餐垃圾食品會(huì)把身體搞垮,如果邊開(kāi)車邊吃還可能讓你出車禍!
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, ma'am?
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 說(shuō),she is on a diet, 正在節(jié)食,所以不吃這些高熱量的快餐。Doug 真應(yīng)該向 Liz 學(xué)學(xué)。
Professor: Yes, fast food has a lot of fat in it. But Winnie, does Doug want the food "for here" or "to go"?
Doug 說(shuō)for here, 也就是在餐廳里吃。如果說(shuō) "to go",就是打包帶走的意思。
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.
看來(lái), Liz 的決心動(dòng)搖了。雖然她一直在說(shuō)快餐多沒(méi)營(yíng)養(yǎng),可是一看到Doug的薯?xiàng)l,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 說(shuō), 在漢堡的所有佐料中,他只喜歡ketchup--番茄醬, 還說(shuō)他不愛(ài)吃番茄。真奇怪,番茄醬不就是番茄做的嘛?
Professor: That's right. What does Doug say he is going to do at the end?
他說(shuō)他要去refill他的飲料. Professor, refill, r-e-f-i-l-l, refill 就是續(xù)杯的意思吧?
Professor: Correct. When you go to a restaurant, you can ask the waiter, "Do you have free refills?"
嗯…這些碳酸飲料中的熱量已經(jīng)很高了,還要續(xù)杯?我看還是算了吧!
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!
??? Liz 趁Doug不在,居然把他的薯?xiàng)l都吃了!不過(guò),她顯然不想和Doug一起變成胖子,所以說(shuō)要馬上去健身。不過(guò)首先,希望他們?cè)诔心苜I些健康食品!
Professor: Well listen next time to find out!
