第 33 课: Have you ever been to Greece? 你有没有去过希腊?

Rula: Time for dessert. Baklava!!! 点心时间啰。千层酥饼!!!

Jade: All the other food reminds me of Italian food, but this one seems different. 其它的食物都让我联想到意大利食物,但这道看起来不一样。

Rula: Baklava has its origins in Turkey. Greek food is Mediterranean, just like
Italian. 千层酥饼是发源于土耳其。希腊食物是地中海系的,就跟意大利一样。

Jade: Thus the ingredients--olives and goat cheese? 因此材料都是——橄榄和羊奶酪?

Rula: Yes, but there's a lot of Middle Eastern influence. Gyros are said to be from Egypt. They're popular in Greece. 是的,不过也受到许多中东方面的影响。据说希腊式三明治是从埃及传过来的。它们在希腊很普遍。

Jade: So Greek food is a mixture of many different styles of cooking. No wonder it's so delicious! 所以希腊食物是多种不同烹调风格的组合。难怪这么好吃!

GM: Have you ever been to Greece, dear? 你有没有去过希腊,亲爱的?

Jade: No, but I'd love to go. I'm a big fan of Greek mythology. 没有,不过我很想去。我很迷希腊神话。

GM: You should visit the island of Corfu. 你应该要去造访克基拉岛。

Jade: I'm planning to go to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini. 我正在计划要去雅典、米克诺司及圣托里尼岛。

GM: Yes, and don't forget Crete. There're so many beautiful bitches. 不错,还有不要忘了克里特岛。那儿有很多漂亮的 ‘妓女’。

Jade: Excuse me? 您说什么?
