Ruth: So, Akane, you've been to Thailand, right?
魯斯:茜,你去過(guò)泰國(guó),對(duì)吧?
Akane: That's right. I went once on a holiday with my friends for Chinese New Year.
茜:沒(méi)錯(cuò)。我和朋友們?cè)谥袊?guó)新年期間去泰國(guó)度假。
Ruth: Wow. I've always wanted to go to Thailand.
魯斯:哇。我一直很想去泰國(guó)。
Akane: Yes, it's a really nice place. I really enjoyed it.
茜:嗯,那是個(gè)很不錯(cuò)的地方。我很喜歡那里。
Ruth: So what did you do there?
魯斯:你在泰國(guó)做了什么事情?
Akane: Well, one of the things I did there was to take a Thai cooking course and I learned how to make Thai food.
茜:嗯,我上了個(gè)泰式烹飪的課程,學(xué)習(xí)如何做泰國(guó)美食。
Ruth: Oh, wow. So how do you make Thai food?
魯斯:哇。那要怎么做泰國(guó)美食呢?
Akane: Well, I don't know if I remember but I really enjoyed the cooking course.
茜:我可能記不太清楚了,不過(guò)我很喜歡那個(gè)烹飪課程。
Ruth: What was the course like?
魯斯:那個(gè)課程都教些什么?
Akane: Well, it was really interesting actually. They picked me up first thing in the morning and drove me to an outdoor market where they sold all kinds offruits and vegetables and meats and spices and it was a kind of market where only the local people would go and they introduced me to a lot of different kinds of herbs and spices and fruits and vegetables that I've never even seen before so that was really interesting, and then they took me to the kitchen which was actually an outdoor kitchen right by a beach so I got to do cooking right in front of a beach it was very beautiful.
茜:實(shí)際上非常有意思。他們?cè)缟蠒?huì)先來(lái)接我,然后開(kāi)車(chē)送我去賣(mài)各種水果、蔬菜、肉類(lèi)和辣椒的露天市場(chǎng),那是只有當(dāng)?shù)厝藭?huì)去的那種市場(chǎng),他們給我介紹了許多種我以前從來(lái)沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)的草藥、辣椒、水果和蔬菜,真的很有趣,之后他們帶我去了一個(gè)廚房,那是一個(gè)在海灘邊上的露天廚房,我要在海灘前面烹飪,那場(chǎng)景真的很美。
Ruth: Wow.
魯斯:哇。
Akane: I was really lucky that day because I was the only student. It was still a new company that just opened up so I was the only student and so I got a lot of attention. There were two teachers that taught me how to do all these things and there was a lot of extra time at the end so they even taught me how to do fruit carving. I made leaves out of cucumber and flowers out of papaya fruit and things like that.
茜:我很幸運(yùn),因?yàn)槲沂悄翘煳ㄒ灰粋€(gè)學(xué)生。那是家新公司,所以只有我一個(gè)學(xué)生,我自然受到了很多關(guān)注。有兩個(gè)老師教我如何烹飪這些食材,后來(lái)我們還有富余時(shí)間,于是他們就教我水果雕刻。我把黃瓜雕刻成樹(shù)葉,把木瓜雕刻成花朵,大概就是這樣。
Ruth: That sounds fantastic.
魯斯:聽(tīng)起來(lái)好神奇。
Akane: It really was.
茜:的確是。
Ruth: And do you ever cook Thai at home now?
魯斯:你現(xiàn)在在家里還會(huì)做泰國(guó)食物嗎?
Akane: Ah, unfortunately I don't, but maybe if I have some time I might try it.
茜:很可惜我現(xiàn)在不做了,如果我有時(shí)間我可能會(huì)試著做做的。
Ruth: Good.
魯斯:好的。
