托德:亞歷克斯,你現(xiàn)在在上大學(xué)。
Alex: Yeah
亞歷克斯:對。
Todd: So, um what kind of foods do you eat?
托德:那你都吃什么食物?
Alex: Well, since I go to college, I don't have a lot of money, so usually I go with the very inexpensive ramen, you know, breads, eggs. My favorite thing though is pancakes and bacon for breakfast. I have no idea, but I just like it a lot. I also like chili. I make chili actually, and it's very spicy, but I like chili and cheesecake. I eat a lot of cereal, a lot, a lot of cereal. I'm addicted really.
亞歷克斯:嗯,我上大學(xué)以后,其實沒有什么零花錢,我通常會吃一些便宜的食物,比如拉面、面包和雞蛋。不過我早餐最喜歡吃的是松餅和培根。不知道為什么,我就是非常喜歡它們。我也很喜歡辣椒。實際上我會做辣味菜,非常辣,我喜歡辣椒和奶酪蛋糕。我吃很多谷物,非常非常多。我真是很上癮。
Todd: OK, like Sienfield?
托德:嗯,就像Sienfield?
Alex: Yeah
亞歷克斯:對。
Todd: So you say you eat ramen?
托德:你說你吃拉面?
Alex: Yes.
亞歷克斯:對。
Todd: OK, so how would you compare ramen in America and ramen in Japan?
托德:那你會怎么比較美國的拉面和日本的拉面?
Alex: Oh, ramen in Japan is definitely better. I mean the amount of ramen shops just in general is a whole lot more than you'll find in all of America I bet, just in Tokyo, but yeah, the ramen in Japan is definitely better than in America. Especially those humongous bowls of ramen with the meat and the eggs and stuff on top they give you. You're not going to find that, at least where I am in America, a lot, so I like that a lot.
亞歷克斯:哦,日本的拉面絕對更好。我的意思是總體來說,我敢打賭東京拉面店的數(shù)量就遠遠多于整個美國的數(shù)量,日本的拉面絕對更好。特別是那些配有肉類、雞蛋和其他食物的大碗拉面。你在美國絕對找不到,至少是我在美國住的地方?jīng)]有,所以我非常非常喜歡。
Todd: And when you talk about ramen in the states, do you mean an actual ramen shop or like top ramen? Both actually. Ramen shops are very, at least where I am they're very, not, there's not a lot. So I usually when I want ramen, I have to buy the packaged, you know, Top Ramen, whatever.
托德:你在說美國的拉面時,是不是指實際的拉面店還有top ramen這種袋裝產(chǎn)品?兩個都是,在美國不是很多,至少我住的地方是這樣。有時我想吃拉面,不得不去買袋裝拉面,就像Top Ramen或是其他的袋裝拉面。
Todd: Yeah, how much does it cost?
托德:是,那多少錢?
Alex: It depends where you do. The cheapest I found it was, they're having a sale, where I work actually, in a grocery store, was having a sale, like 50 cents a pack, so I loaded, and it was OK.
亞歷克斯:那取決于你去哪兒買。我知道的最便宜的是在打折的商品,就在我工作的雜貨店,打折的話大概50美分一袋,我買了,我覺得價格還好。
Todd: That's pretty cheap.
托德:真便宜啊。
