各位聽眾,大家好!今天我們為您播出“美語三級跳”節目“食物”單元的初級課程。
MC:Doug and Liz 正開車去超市買菜,可Doug忽然覺得餓了,想順道先去快餐店買個漢堡吃。
Professor:Winnie, do you ever get hungry when you go shopping?
當然有啊,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,我就會看見什么買什么!
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,就是麥當勞。不過,他說drive-through,就是中文里說的ǒ得來速ō,也就是不用下車的點餐服務窗口吧?
Professor:Exactly! Why doesn't Doug want to use the drive-through?
因為他不想在車上吃東西,怕飲料會灑在車上。我也覺得,邊吃東西邊開車是很危險的。
Professor:That's true. I guess there are two ways eating fast food can kill you.
MC:說得對! 吃太多快餐垃圾食品會把身體搞垮,如果邊開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, mam?
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,she is on a diet, 正在節食,所以不吃這些高熱量的快餐。Doug 真應該向 Liz 學學。
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for here, 也就是在餐廳里吃。如果說 "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, Liz 的決心動搖了。雖然她一直在說快餐多沒營養,可是一看到Doug的薯條,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, 在漢堡的所有佐料中,他只喜歡ketchup——番茄醬, 還說他不愛吃番茄。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?
他說他要去refill他的飲料,Professor,refill, r-e-f-i-l-l, refill 就是續杯的意思吧?
Professor:Correct. When you go to a restaurant, you can ask the waiter, "Do you have free refills?"
嗯à這些碳酸飲料中的熱量已經很高了,還要續杯?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!
?。縇iz 趁Doug不在,居然把他的薯條都吃了!不過,她顯然不想和Doug一起變成胖子,所以說要馬上去健身。不過首先,希望他們在超市能買些健康食品!
Professor:Well listen next time to find out!
A:看看!Liz 沒堅持?。≌ㄊ項l這東西,吃一根就很難停下來的。
B:The craving for fast food is your worst enemy if you're on a diet. Your friends should be supportive, instead of waving a bag of fries in front of your face!
A:沒錯,減肥需要周圍人的支持,可不能老拿炸薯條來考驗咱們的意志力!好了,咱們繼續聽節目吧。在今天的禮節美語中,We'll continue to talk about product recall.
