今天的這段對話，在討論烹飪，

你通常做什么菜？準備晚餐需要做什么

來聽今天的講解:

Beginner

A: do you like cooking?

你喜歡做飯嗎？

B: I love it. I really enjoy creating a meal from various ingredients and watching my friends enjoy it. It gives me a real sense of satisfaction. Do you enjoy cooking?

我喜歡它。我真的很喜歡用各種食材制作一頓飯，看著我的朋友們享用。這給了我一種真正的滿足感。你喜歡烹飪嗎？

A: I don’t like it. It takes up too much time and I really hate having to clean up after the meal. I can’t stand doing the washing up, drying up, and putting all the dishes and cutlery away.

我不喜歡它。它占用了太多時間，我真的很討厭飯后打掃衛(wèi)生。我無法忍受洗餐具、烘干餐具和把所有的盤子和餐具都收起來。

B: you can ask the guests to help. My guests usually insist on doing the washing up. I just have to remind them where everything goes.

你可以請客人幫忙。我的客人通常堅持要洗碗。我只需要提醒他們一切都去了哪里。

A: so, what kind of dishes do you usually make? I know you like Italian food.

那么，你通常做什么菜？我知道你喜歡意大利菜。

B: Italian, Indian, and Chinese. I’ve only recently started cooking Chinese meals and I need some more practice.

意大利菜、印度菜和中國菜。我最近才開始做中餐，我需要更多的練習。

A: do you find it hard to get ingredients for Chinese food?

你覺得很難買到中國菜的原料嗎？

B: not at all. You can find most of them at supermarket. The ingredients are usually the same as in western food. The way that the food is prepared is the big difference, not the ingredients.

一點也不。你可以在超市里找到大多數(shù)。配料通常和西餐一樣。食物的制作方式有很大的不同，而不是配料。

A: how long does it take you to cook a meal for five or six people?

你為五六個人做一頓飯需要多長時間？

B: obviously, it depends on what I’m cooking, but I ‘d say it generally takes about one and a half hours.

很明顯，這取決于我在做什么，但我認為這通常需要一個半小時。

Intermediate

A: hi. You said that you might need some help with preparing dinner. What would you like me to do?

嗨。你說你可能需要幫忙準備晚餐。你想讓我做什么？

B: thanks for coming over to help. I really appreciate it. First, could you peel the vegetables? I’ve put them all in the skin and there’s a peeler.

謝謝你過來幫忙。我真的很感激。首先，你能把蔬菜去皮嗎？我把它們都放在皮里了，還有一個削皮器。

A: Ok, I’ll peel the vegetables and you chop them. I’m terrible at chopping vegetables. I always seem to chop them into pieces that are either too big or too small. … wow! You can chop vegetable really quickly, just like professional chefs on TV!

好的，我把蔬菜去皮，你把它們切碎。我切菜很厲害。我似乎總是把它們切成太大或太小的塊…哇！你切菜真的很快，就像電視上的專業(yè)廚師一樣！

B: after you’ve chopped the vegetables, could you fry the meat in a little oil? Just use a very small amount of oil. Fry the meat until it is cooked, then we’ll add some spices to flavor it.

你把蔬菜切碎后，能把肉放進一點油里炸一下嗎？只需要用少量的油。把肉炒熟，然后我們加入一些香料調味。

A: which spices are you going to add to the meat?

你打算在肉里加什么香料？

B: these ones here. The one on the left is very spicy, so we must be careful about how much we add.

這些在這里。左邊的那個很辣，所以我們必須小心加多少。

A: yes. We don’t’ want everyone to burn their mouths and have a drink gallons of water! OK. I’m really to do the meat. Should I cook it over a low flame?

是的。我們不希望每個人都燒著嘴喝幾加侖水！好的。我真的要做肉。我應該用小火煮嗎？

B: cook it over a high flame, so that it will be ready quickly. Keep stirring the meat around the frying pan. Don’t let the meat stick to the bottom of the pan.

用大火煮，這樣很快就做好了。在煎鍋周圍不斷攪拌肉。不要讓肉粘在鍋底。

A: right. What are you doing over there?

對。你在那邊干什么？

B: I’m mixing the sauce. It’s my specialty. I make it according to my own secret recipe!

我在調醬汁。這是我的專長。我根據(jù)自己的秘方做的！
