第 82 课: Just pick whatever looks good to you! 挑你想吃的就好!

Kai: I'm glad to finally have a proper dinner. This trade show's been a lot of work! 很高兴终于有顿象样的晚餐了。这次的商展真是一堆工作!

Tiff: Yeah, it's nice to get out of there and see more of L.A. Who knows which famous people we'll see here! 没错,能离开那里,出来多看看洛杉矶真是不错。搞不好我们会在这里见到哪些名人!

Kai: Hopefully not Kid Rock. I don't know what I'd do if he was here! 希望不是巨石小子。如果他在这里,我会不知如何是好。  

Tiff: Just keep smiling. Hey, I want to go to Hollywood this weekend, OK? 保持微笑就好。嘿,这个周末我想去好莱坞,好不好?

Kai: I'm so hungry I think I could eat two of the set meals. Or maybe I'd order individual plates if I knew what they were. 我好饿,我想我可以吃两个套餐。或者,如果我知道这些菜是什么的话,我就可以单点。

Tiff: I think I'd rather order a la carte. There are so many things I haven't seen before. 我想我单点就好。有好多以前没见过的东西。

Kai: The non-set menu has “Starters”, “Salads”, “Soups”, “Entrees”, and “Desserts.” If I go a la carte, should I pick one of each? 单点的菜单上有‘开胃菜’、‘色拉’、‘汤’、‘主菜’和‘甜点’。如果我要单点,我得每样各挑一道吗?

Tiff: Just pick whatever looks good to you! 挑你想吃的就好!

Kai: I want the set meal with the rack of lamb with coriander, but what is this side dish of saffron-scented couscous? 我想要香菜烤羊排套餐,但是这道附菜 ‘番红花香蒸粉’是什么啊?

Tiff: I don't know. I think I'll have the goat cheese. I've never had it before, and they seem to put it in everything here! 我不知道。我想我点个山羊奶酪起司好了。我从来没吃过,而且,他们好像每道菜都会加!

Kai: These desserts look amazing. Mousse with a raspberry...glace? 这些甜点看起来太棒了。慕斯加上红莓……glace?

Tiff: Oh, I remember that from my college French classes! Glace is French for “ice cream”! 我记得大学法文课有学过。‘glace’是法文,‘冰淇淋’的意思!

Kai: Sounds fancy. This is all so complicated. I'll stick with the lamb to play it
safe. Anyway, you know me--there's nothing I won't eat! 好炫喔!这些实在太复杂了。为了保险起见我还是点羊肉好了。反正你也知道我是无所不吃的!
