美食對(duì)中國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)是很重要，在美國(guó)哪些地方能吃到地道的中國(guó)菜

來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:

A: I'm glad we came here. This is really delicious!

很高興來(lái)到這里。這真的很美味。

B: I was worried you would think it was too far to drive.

我擔(dān)心你會(huì)覺(jué)得開(kāi)車(chē)太遠(yuǎn)。

A: Well, it's true I've never driven two hours just to get lunch.But really, I think it's worth it.

這倒是真的，我從未開(kāi)過(guò)兩個(gè)小時(shí)的車(chē)子，只是為了吃頓午餐。但是不錯(cuò)，我覺(jué)得很值得。

B: I think if you try some more authentic Chinese food,you might understand how we students from Taiwan suffer.

如果你再吃些地道的中國(guó)菜，你就會(huì)了解我們臺(tái)灣學(xué)生所遭受的了。

A: How do you mean "suffer"?

你說(shuō)“遭受”是什么意思？

B: I mean, in Milwaukee there is no good Chinese food.So we miss the food in Taiwan too much.Sometimes we just have to drive down here to Chicago to find something better.

在密爾瓦基市都沒(méi)有好吃的中國(guó)菜，所我們很懷念臺(tái)灣的食物。有時(shí)候我們只好開(kāi)車(chē)下來(lái)芝加哥找些好吃的東西。

A: Even in the winter?

連冬天都這樣嗎？

B: Yes, even in the winter.

是的，甚至在冬天也是這樣。

A: And even if it takes two hours, huh?

而且甚至要花兩個(gè)小時(shí),是嗎?

B: Why not? I've been craving good food for three weeks now.I'm too sick of hamburgers and pizza!

有何不可呢？我已經(jīng)渴望美食三個(gè)星期了。我受夠了漢堡包和比薩。

A: Well, this really is delicious, I have to admit.I can understand better now why you and your friends are always whining.

這真的很好吃，我必須承認(rèn)?，F(xiàn)在我比較能夠了解為什么你和你的朋友總是在抱怨。

B: Don't tease me! Good food is really important to Chinese!

別取笑我了！美食對(duì)中國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)是很重要的。

A: I know. I can see that. This is what is called "dim sum," right?

我知道，看得出來(lái)。這就是“點(diǎn)心”對(duì)不對(duì)？

B: Yes, all these dishes are different "dim sum" dishes.You can't find this kind of thing except for in a few cities in America.

是的，這些菜肴都是不同的點(diǎn)心。在美國(guó)除了少數(shù)幾個(gè)城市，你找不到這類(lèi)食物的。

A: So when you Chinese think of Chinatown,you mostly think of food. Is that right?

所以當(dāng)你們中國(guó)人想到中國(guó)城，幾乎都想到吃的，對(duì)不對(duì)？

B: Of course.I will try to buy some things at the Asian grocery down the block too.Then I can do a little cooking in my apartment.

當(dāng)然。我還要在下一條街的亞洲雜貨店買(mǎi)些東西。那么我就可以在自己的公寓煮些東西。

A: And maybe we can go to a good Italian restaurant for dinner, after the museum.Chicago has some great Italian restaurants.

也許參觀(guān)完博物館，我們可以去意大利餐廳吃晚餐。芝加哥有一些很棒的意大利餐廳。

B: No way!

絕不！

A: What do you mean?

你是什么意思？

B: We're going up to the "new" Chinatown for dinner.I already know where we're going to go.

我們要去新中國(guó)城吃晚餐。我已經(jīng)知道我們要去哪里了。

A: Alright, alright. I am happy to try more Chinese food.Will it be dim sum again?

好吧，好吧，我很樂(lè)意多吃些中國(guó)菜。又是吃點(diǎn)心嗎？

B: No, dim sum is usually eaten around lunch time,or sometimes closer to breakfast.We'll try more Taiwanese style up at the "new" Chinatown.

不是。點(diǎn)心通常是午餐吃的，有時(shí)候更接近早餐的時(shí)間。我們要在新中國(guó)城多吃些臺(tái)灣菜。

A: Taiwanese style? Isn't dim sum Taiwanese style?

臺(tái)灣菜？點(diǎn)心不是臺(tái)灣菜嗎？

B: No, dim sum is more Cantonese style.But of course you can buy it in Taiwan.

不是，點(diǎn)心比較像是廣東菜。當(dāng)然在臺(tái)灣也買(mǎi)得到。

A: I wonder if you can cook things this good.

我在想，你能煮得這么好吃嗎？
