Todd: Now, Adrienne, we are both work in the same office. We are colleagues. Let's talk about lunch. We have different lunch tastes. Why don't you talk about what do you like to have for lunch?
托德:埃德里安娜,我们在同一个办公室工作。我们是同事。我们来谈谈午饭吧。我们有各自喜欢吃的午餐。你来谈谈你喜欢的午餐怎么样?
Adrienne: Ah, my favorite thing to do for lunch, when I'm at the office, of course, is to go for either Indian or Vietnamese. Both are very spicy and I like that for lunchtime. Also, it's kind of a light lunch I think, so I like it to be light, but somewhat exciting.
埃德里安娜:嗯,在办公室的时候,我午餐最喜欢吃印度菜或越南菜。印度菜和越南菜都很辣,我喜欢午餐吃这两类食物。我中午喜欢吃,所以一般中午我会吃简单又辣的食物。
Todd: See, I like Indian food and I like the Vietnamese food, but I just don't like doing it for lunch. I'm a burger-and-fry guy. Like at lunch, I just want a sandwich or a hamburger and a milkshake, quick and easy. It tastes good.
托德:我喜欢印度菜也喜欢越南菜,可是我不喜欢在午餐的时候吃。我最喜欢吃汉堡和薯条,所以午餐时我会吃一个三明治或是一个汉堡,搭配一杯奶昔,又快又简单。而且味道很好。
Adrienne: Too heavy for me for lunchtime.
埃德里安娜:对我来说,这样午餐吃的太多了。
Todd: It tastes so good though.
托德:不过味道很不错。
Adrienne: I know, but I fall asleep an hour later sitting at my desk. Don't tell anyone.
埃德里安娜:我知道,不过我吃完快餐以后的一个小时会在座位上睡着。不要告诉别人。
Todd: So when you do have fast food — you do eat pretty healthily — but when you do eat fast food, what kind of fast foods do you like the most?
托德:你吃得很健康,那一般你去快餐厅会点什么吃?
Adrienne: Well, I am a sucker for a good cheeseburger, so I really do like to have that, but again, I have to be able to go home and sleep after I've eaten one.
埃德里安娜:我非常喜欢美味的奶酪汉堡,所以一般我会点奶酪汉堡吃,不过我要再说一遍,吃完后我要回家睡一觉。
Todd: So it just sits there.... So what do you like on your hamburgers? What vegetables?
托德:你就这样坐着……那你喜欢在汉堡里放什么蔬菜?
Adrienne: My favorite cheeseburger that I found — I actually found a restaurant recently that has really good cheeseburgers — and my favorite one is lettuce, tomato, raw onion, avocado and cheese.
埃德里安娜:我最近发现有家餐厅的奶酪汉堡非常好吃,我最喜欢的奶酪汉堡里有莴苣、番茄、洋葱、鳄梨和奶酪。
Todd: That sounds pretty good. Actually, when it comes to burgers for me, I just want it plain. I just want a bun a hamburger, actually no cheese, a little ketchup and maybe a little lettuce, but that's it. Just hamburger and bread.
托德:听起来就好吃。其实说到汉堡,我一般会要普通的汉堡。只要汉堡面包、牛肉饼,不加奶酪,加一些蕃茄酱和一点莴苣,就这样。只要牛肉饼和汉堡面包。
Adrienne: You're a simple guy Todd.
埃德里安娜:托德,你真的是一个简单的人。
Todd: I am a simple guy.
托德:对,我是个简单的人。
Adrienne: See, I like my food a little more exciting I think than you do.
埃德里安娜:与你相比,我喜欢的食物更刺激性一些。
Todd: OK, but as for the sauces, we got mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup. Which do you like the best?
托德:好,就酱料来说,有芥末酱、蛋黄酱和蕃茄酱。你最喜欢哪种?
Adrienne: Hmm, it depends on what the other ingredients are.
埃德里安娜:嗯,这要取决于还有什么配料。
Todd: Right. See the thing is that I love mustard. I can eat mustard on just about anything, you know meat, whatever. I hate mayonnaise. I don't understand why people eat mayonnaise. It's disgusting. And ketchup, I eat sometimes.
托德:好。我喜欢芥末酱。我可以用芥末酱搭配任何食物,比如肉类之类的,都可以。我不喜欢吃蛋黄酱。我不理解人们为什么会吃蛋黄酱。那太恶心了。有时我会吃蕃茄酱。
Adrienne: If I have a plain cheeseburger, nothing on it, just cheese and meat, and bun, then ketchup and mustard, but if it's got vegetables on it, then I like mayonnaise. It's just a preference.
埃德里安娜:如果我吃普通的奶酪汉堡,没有别的配菜,只有奶酪、肉和汉堡面包,那我会搭配蕃茄酱或芥末酱,但是如果汉堡里加了蔬菜,那我会搭配蛋黄酱。这只是个人偏好。
Todd: I know. There's something about mayonnaise. I don't know.
托德:我明白。我只是觉得蛋黄酱有点怪,我也说不太清楚。
Adrienne: Get over it.
埃德里安娜:适应就好了。
