卡蒂亞:你好,菲利佩,你好嗎?
Felipe: Fine thank you and you?
菲利佩:我很好,謝謝,你呢?
Katia: Good, good. Listen, I heard that you know a lot about Ecuadorean food. Can you tell me a little bit about it? What is your favorite or what is it that you don't like? Can you just enlighten me a little bit?
卡蒂亞:我也很好。我聽說你對(duì)厄瓜多爾食物非常了解。你能跟我說說嗎?你最喜歡的厄瓜多爾食物是什么?你不喜歡哪些食物?你能稍微給我介紹一下嗎?
Felipe: Well, in Ecuador, well pretty much all the food in Ecuador is delicious. For example, we have frita which is some fried meat, pork meat, and also potatoes and corn because I love corn and there's also some typical dish called ceviche. Ceviche is a coastal traditional food and it's made out of shrimps and lemon and tomato. I think it's quite unique and nowhere else in the world you can find something like that. It's quite delicious. And there's also a really spicy food so maybe that's the kind of food that I don't like too much because it's too spicy and it makes you sweat.
菲利佩:好,厄瓜多爾幾乎所有的食物都非常好吃。比如佛瑞塔,這是用炒肉、豬肉、土豆和玉米做的美食,我喜歡玉米,我們還有很多不同種類的水果,所以我們會(huì)用這些水果來做果汁和各種甜點(diǎn)。厄瓜多爾還有一種傳統(tǒng)美食——酸橘汁腌魚。這是一種沿海地區(qū)的傳統(tǒng)美食,是用蝦、檸檬和番茄做的。我認(rèn)為這是厄瓜多爾特有的美食,世界其他地方?jīng)]有這種食物。這道菜非常美味。厄瓜多爾也有非常辣的食物,可是我不太喜歡那種食物,因?yàn)樘绷?,辣到?huì)讓人冒汗。
Katia: It sounds actually very exotic. What about staple food in Ecuador? What is it, the staple food? For example in Mexico we have tortilla. What about Ecuador, what is the most common food?
卡蒂亞:聽起來很有異國(guó)風(fēng)情。厄瓜多爾有什么主食?厄瓜多爾的主食是什么?像墨西哥的主食是墨西哥薄餡餅。那厄瓜多爾呢,厄瓜多爾最常見的食物是什么?
Felipe: Well, yeah, in Ecuador we also have tortillas but they have different names. For example we have arepas which are made of corn also so the staple food in Ecuador is similar to Mexico and Colombia also because it's made, it's composed of corn and potatoes and mainly people in Ecuador they love potatoes and corn and especially corn because there are many different kinds of corn so they can make many different kinds of soups and also a kind of a bread made of corn and cookies and so on.
菲利佩:厄瓜多爾也有薄餡餅,不過名字不一樣。我們厄瓜多爾有用玉米做的玉米餅,可以說厄瓜多爾的主食同墨西哥和哥倫比亞的類似,因?yàn)橐彩怯糜衩缀屯炼棺龀傻?,厄瓜多爾有很多人喜歡土豆和玉米,人們尤其喜歡玉米,因?yàn)槎蚬隙酄栍泻芏喾N玉米,他們可以用玉米做不同的湯、面包和小餅干。
Katia: Hmm, it really sounds delicious. Now I'm very curious to try it but thank you for enlightening me about Ecuadorean food.
卡蒂亞:嗯,聽起來很美味。我現(xiàn)在非常想品嘗一下,謝謝你給我介紹厄瓜多爾的美食。
Felipe: Oh, you're welcome. Have a nice trip.
菲利佩:哦,不客氣。祝你旅途愉快。
Katia: Thank you.
卡蒂亞:謝謝。
