實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Dinner 晚餐

Todd: So, Adrienne, we've been talking about food. It's late afternoon. What are you doing for dinner? What are you going to cook tonight?

托德：埃德里安娜，我們來(lái)談?wù)勈澄锇??，F(xiàn)在已經(jīng)是傍晚了。你晚上打算做什么飯?你今晚打算做什么吃?

Adrienne: I don't think I'll cook tonight.

埃德里安娜：我想我今晚可能不做飯了。

Todd: No, no cooking?

托德：什么，你不做飯嗎?

Adrienne: No, I feel lazy today.

埃德里安娜：對(duì)，我今天有點(diǎn)懶洋洋的，沒(méi)精神。

Todd: So you're going to eat out?

托德：那你要去外面吃嗎?

Adrienne: Probably.

埃德里安娜：可能吧。

Todd: Yeah, what's on the agenda? What's for dinner?

托德：你有計(jì)劃了嗎?晚上打算吃什么?

Adrienne: I'm not sure yet. There's a couple nice restaurants in my neighborhood so I might go and grab something to eat near here.

埃德里安娜：我還沒(méi)決定。我家附近有一些不錯(cuò)的餐廳，我可能就去附近吃了。

Todd: So, are you going to go and actually eat in the restaurant or are you just gonna bring it back?

托德：你是打算在餐廳里吃還是打包帶走?

Adrienne: Maybe I'll go eat at the restaurant. I don't feel like doing dishes either.

埃德里安娜：我可能會(huì)在餐廳里吃。我也不喜歡洗碗。

Todd: Right, well, but it's disposable, you just throw it away, right?

托德：好，不過(guò)餐廳打包提供的都是一次性的餐具，吃完以后直接扔掉就行了，不是嗎?

Adrienne: Not good for the environment, Todd.

埃德里安娜：托德，這樣會(huì)污染環(huán)境。

Todd: Yeah, I know, but…. Yeah, I don't have any argument for that one.

托德：我知道，可是……對(duì)此我并沒(méi)有異議。

Adrienne: No conscience.

埃德里安娜：這是不道德的做法。

Todd: Yeah, well, I look it this way, you know. You waste a little bit of paper, but you save water because you don't have to wash dishes.

托德：對(duì)，我是這樣看的。外出吃飯可能會(huì)浪費(fèi)紙，但是你不用洗碗，所以節(jié)省了水資源。

Adrienne: Interesting. I think the paper is more detrimental though.

埃德里安娜：這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)很有意思。不過(guò)我認(rèn)為廢紙對(duì)環(huán)境更有害。

Todd: It's definitely not as renewable as water that's for sure.

托德：當(dāng)然，因?yàn)榧埐幌袼菢涌稍偕?/p>

Adrienne: Maybe. I don't know what environmentalist would argue about that.

埃德里安娜：也許吧。我不清楚環(huán)保人士會(huì)如何看待這件事。

Todd: So when you go to a restaurant, what things do you look for in a restaurant that you like?

托德：你去餐廳吃飯的話，你最注重的是餐廳的什么地方?

Adrienne: Well, number one, location. They're nearby. That makes it very handy for me. I like the convenience. Two, they have to be…have an interesting menu, a diverse menu, interesting food. I like that. And, also of course be clean and relatively inexpensive. Those are all important points for me to like a restaurant.

埃德里安娜：首先是餐廳的位置。我一般選擇附近的餐廳，因?yàn)楹芊奖?。我喜歡便利。第二點(diǎn)，餐廳的菜單要新穎、豐富，要有一些有意思的食物。我喜歡這種感覺(jué)。當(dāng)然餐廳還要干凈，不要太貴。這是我選擇餐廳的主要參照。
