托德:埃德里安娜,我們來談?wù)勈澄锇??,F(xiàn)在已經(jīng)是傍晚了。你晚上打算做什么飯?你今晚打算做什么吃?
Adrienne: I don't think I'll cook tonight.
埃德里安娜:我想我今晚可能不做飯了。
Todd: No, no cooking?
托德:什么,你不做飯嗎?
Adrienne: No, I feel lazy today.
埃德里安娜:對,我今天有點懶洋洋的,沒精神。
Todd: So you're going to eat out?
托德:那你要去外面吃嗎?
Adrienne: Probably.
埃德里安娜:可能吧。
Todd: Yeah, what's on the agenda? What's for dinner?
托德:你有計劃了嗎?晚上打算吃什么?
Adrienne: I'm not sure yet. There's a couple nice restaurants in my neighborhood so I might go and grab something to eat near here.
埃德里安娜:我還沒決定。我家附近有一些不錯的餐廳,我可能就去附近吃了。
Todd: So, are you going to go and actually eat in the restaurant or are you just gonna bring it back?
托德:你是打算在餐廳里吃還是打包帶走?
Adrienne: Maybe I'll go eat at the restaurant. I don't feel like doing dishes either.
埃德里安娜:我可能會在餐廳里吃。我也不喜歡洗碗。
Todd: Right, well, but it's disposable, you just throw it away, right?
托德:好,不過餐廳打包提供的都是一次性的餐具,吃完以后直接扔掉就行了,不是嗎?
Adrienne: Not good for the environment, Todd.
埃德里安娜:托德,這樣會污染環(huán)境。
Todd: Yeah, I know, but…. Yeah, I don't have any argument for that one.
托德:我知道,可是……對此我并沒有異議。
Adrienne: No conscience.
埃德里安娜:這是不道德的做法。
Todd: Yeah, well, I look it this way, you know. You waste a little bit of paper, but you save water because you don't have to wash dishes.
托德:對,我是這樣看的。外出吃飯可能會浪費紙,但是你不用洗碗,所以節(jié)省了水資源。
Adrienne: Interesting. I think the paper is more detrimental though.
埃德里安娜:這個觀點很有意思。不過我認(rèn)為廢紙對環(huán)境更有害。
Todd: It's definitely not as renewable as water that's for sure.
托德:當(dāng)然,因為紙不像水那樣可再生。
Adrienne: Maybe. I don't know what environmentalist would argue about that.
埃德里安娜:也許吧。我不清楚環(huán)保人士會如何看待這件事。
Todd: So when you go to a restaurant, what things do you look for in a restaurant that you like?
托德:你去餐廳吃飯的話,你最注重的是餐廳的什么地方?
Adrienne: Well, number one, location. They're nearby. That makes it very handy for me. I like the convenience. Two, they have to be…have an interesting menu, a diverse menu, interesting food. I like that. And, also of course be clean and relatively inexpensive. Those are all important points for me to like a restaurant.
埃德里安娜:首先是餐廳的位置。我一般選擇附近的餐廳,因為很方便。我喜歡便利。第二點,餐廳的菜單要新穎、豐富,要有一些有意思的食物。我喜歡這種感覺。當(dāng)然餐廳還要干凈,不要太貴。這是我選擇餐廳的主要參照。
