聽力每日練習(xí) listen 668 The?Chinese?Delicacy

2--I am not sure. What was it like?

1--In the Qing Dynasty the court invented a special type of cuisine for the royal family, which included many elaborate dishes at one meal. It is called Man Han Quan Xi.

2--Sounds good. Let's go have some now.

1--It's practically impossible now because there are probably only a few people in the world who know how to make it. They say it takes three to four days for them to make just one meal.

2--It's very time consuming.

1--I think some people do eat it, but most people don't have the chance to.

2--It's a fast paced world today. People don't have time to cook for five days for a meal.

1--That's not the problem. The problem is that most people don't know how to cook it because there are so many kinds of dishes.

譯文：

1--你聽說過滿漢全席嗎？

2--不大清楚。能告訴我嗎？

1--在中國清朝時期，宮廷里發(fā)明了一種包括很多道菜的美宴，稱做“滿漢全席”，不過只有極少數(shù)皇族才能夠享用。

2--聽起來不錯呀。我們現(xiàn)在就去吃。

1--恐怕不行。現(xiàn)在，也許只有少數(shù)幾個人會做。據(jù)說做一次得花三四天的時間。

2--那的確很浪費(fèi)時間。

1--我覺得確實(shí)有少數(shù)人能吃到，但大多數(shù)人沒有這個機(jī)會的。

2--這是一個快節(jié)奏的社會。人們不可能花上五天時間去準(zhǔn)備一頓飯。

1--這還不是最根本的問題。由于滿漢全席菜肴種類繁多，程序復(fù)雜，所以大部分人根本就不知道是怎么做的。
