Dialogue 1

Jingjing: You've been here before, right?
京晶：你以前來過這兒吧？
Mark: Lots of times. I used to live near here. It was my home away from home.
馬克：來過好多次了。我過去就住這附近。這地方對我來說就跟家一樣。
Jingjing: What do you think we should order?
京晶：你覺得我們應該點些什么吃呢？
Mark: Well, pizza, for sure. They have three sizes.
馬克：當然是披薩了。他們這兒有三種尺寸的。
Jingjing: We could order two of the smaller ones. That way, we could get two different kinds of pizza.
京晶：我們可以點兩個小份的。這樣的話，我們就能吃到兩款披薩。
Mark: It's a better deal to get one medium. It's about the same total price. But you end up with more pizza.
馬克：點一個中份的更好。總價都差不多，而且中份的分量還更多。
Jingjing: If you've run the numbers, I'll take your word for it. But I don't want to get stuck with a whole lot of one kind of pizza.
京晶：如果你計算過了，那我就相信你吧。不過我不想就光吃那么一種披薩。
Mark: In the menu, it says we can go half and half. The sauce has to be the same, though.
馬克：菜單上說，我們可以做成兩個不同的一半，不過醬料必須得是用同一款。
Jingjing: So, let's get half with loads of meat, and half with some choice vegetables.
京晶：那就讓我們來一款一半肉多的，一半自選菜的吧。
Mark: Is there anything we should keep off the pizza?
京晶：有什么是我們不放在披薩里的嗎？
Jingjing: I'd rather not have seafood, or anything sweet.
京晶：我寧愿不要海鮮，或者任何甜的東西。
Mark: Same with me. What about mushrooms?
馬克：我也一樣。那蘑菇呢？
Jingjing: If we can stay away from mushrooms, that'd be better.
京晶：如果我們可以不放蘑菇，那更好。
Mark: OK. How about half of this and half of that?
馬克：好，要不這個放一半那個放一半怎么樣？
Jingjing: Great. We're all set.
京晶：行，妥了。

Dialogue 2

Mark: I'm glad we got that pizza going right away. What else would you like to order—salad, soup, chicken wings?
馬克：真好我們這就把披薩點好了。其他你還有什么想要點的嗎？——沙拉，湯，雞翅？
Jingjing: I can't really decide.
京晶：我還真沒主意。
Mark: Let me grab another menu so you can keep looking.
馬克：讓我再拿一份菜單，這樣的話你就能繼續再看看。
Jingjing: Besides pizza, what's good here?
京晶：除了披薩之外，這家店還有什么好吃的？
Mark: Actually, it's all mostly pub grub. There's no need to think about it too much.
馬克：事實上，都差不多是些酒吧快食（油炸類食物）。不用考慮太多了。
Jingjing: It would be nice to have a salad.
京晶：來份沙拉就挺好的了。
Mark: The salads are okay here. And by okay, I mean so-so. And by so-so, I mean not worth it.
馬克：這里的沙拉也還行。還行，我的意思是說一般般吧，一般般，我的意思其實是說不值得點啦。
Jingjing: Uh, o-kay—oh, is that our pizza already?
京晶：額，那好吧。那是我們的披薩好了嗎？
Mark: He's coming toward us—oh, fake out! It was for the people at the next table.
馬克：他正向我們這一桌走過來呢。噢！假象！這是隔壁桌的菜。
Jingjing: Wow, that's a huge pizza. Is that the size we ordered?
京晶：哇哦，好大的一個披薩啊！這是我們點的那個尺寸嗎？
Mark: That's the large. But the medium is more than enough for the two of us.
馬克：那是個大份的。中份的對咱倆來說已經足夠了。
Jingjing: You should have said so earlier.
京晶：你早說就好了。
Mark: Yeah, this is frat-boy pizza. It's easy to get your fill.
馬克：對啊，這一款是又大又厚的那種披薩，很容易就能讓你填飽肚皮。
Jingjing: I'll stop looking at this menu, then.
京晶：那我現在就不繼續看菜單了。
