Jingjing: Hey, Mark. My stomach's churning. Let's go grab a bite to eat.
京晶：嘿，馬克。我的胃餓得難受。咱們去吃點兒東西吧。

Jingjing: Have you been to that new Italian restaurant down the street? I've been meaning to try it out.
京晶：你有沒有去過那間新開的意大利餐館？我一直想去試一下。

Mark: Not in a million years!
馬克：絕不會！
Jingjing: Well, what was so wrong with the place?
京晶：為什么呀？
Mark: The food was a complete rip off. I paid $34 for a hamburger and a side of fries. (On top of that, the food was cold and the service was lousy.)
馬克：那里的食物貴得離譜。我付了34美元就買了一個漢堡包和配的薯條。（最重要的是，食物還是冷的，服務也很糟糕。）

Dialogue 3

Jingjing and Mark are walking farther along the street after dinner.
京晶和馬克晚餐后繼續沿著街邊往前走
Jingjing: You know, we still haven't found a good Italian restaurant in this neighborhood.
京晶：你知道嗎，我們仍然沒有在這附近找到一家不錯的意大利菜餐廳。
Mark: Well, there is one, but I found it to be rather pricey. Actually, that's it, just across the street. Wanna go over and take a look?
馬克：這附近有一家，但是我覺得他家頗有些小貴。事實上，就在那兒，街對面。想過去看看嗎？
Jingjing: Sure. What a cute little place. Hey, there's a menu posted at the door. ...And the prices are not too bad.
京晶：行。真是個可愛的小地方。哈，門口就放著菜單呢……嗯，價格還不錯。
Mark: Yeah, for each item, it's within reason. When I ate here, I had to order three main dishes, because each one is pretty small. You kinda have to go all out.
馬克：是的，每道菜價格還是合理的（不過分）。我上次在這兒吃的時候，我必須得點三個主菜，因為每份分量都挺少的。你差不多得必須放點血。
Jingjing: You mean just a pasta dish wouldn't be enough for one person?
京晶：你是說一份意大利面食不夠一人吃嗎？
Mark: Not even close. You'd feel embarrassed ordering so little, and nowhere near full afterward.
馬克：遠遠不夠。點這么一小份你也會覺得挺尷尬的。吃完以后一點都不飽。
Jingjing: Hey, the tiramisu is about the same price as anywhere else.
京晶：嘿，提拉米蘇的價格好像和別地兒都差不多呢。
Mark: I could go for that right now, and maybe an espresso.
馬克：我現在就可以點一份兒，也許再配一杯濃縮咖啡吧。
