美語情景對話 第781期:Mexican Food 墨西哥美食

Rebecca: So, Diego, I hear that Mexico has some really great food and that you love to cook. What's your favorite food in Mexico?

麗貝卡：迪亞哥，你聽說墨西哥的美食很棒，而且你熱愛烹飪。你最喜歡的墨西哥美食是什麼？

Diego: My favorite food in Mexico is chiles en nogada. Chiles means pepper and this is a very traditional Mexican dish because our flag is green, white and red, so this plate, the peppers are green, and then it has a white sauce on top of it and then it has a grain sort of fruit. It's a red fruit and it's representing our flag so it's very... It's a very historical plate in Mexico. It's very famous.

迪亞哥：我最喜歡的墨西哥美食是核桃醬辣椒。Chiles是辣椒，這是一道非常傳統的墨西哥食物，我們墨西哥的國旗由綠色、白色和紅色三個顏色組成，而這道菜，辣椒是綠色的，在上面淋上白色的醬汁，再加一些水果。一般會放紅色的水果，這樣這道菜就代表國旗的三種顏色，所以……這道菜在墨西哥歷史悠久，非常有名。

Rebecca: Oh, wow. I don't think we have anything like that in Australia. It'd be hard to get something that you'd eat that's blue and red and white.

麗貝卡：哦，哇。我想我們澳大利亞並沒有這樣的菜。很難找到由藍色、紅色和白色組成的菜。

Diego: Blue and red.

迪亞哥：藍色和紅色。

Rebecca: Yeah. Maybe fish.

麗貝卡：嗯，也許魚可以。

Diego: Fish with strawberries.

迪亞哥：魚和草莓組合在一起。

Rebecca: I don't think that would work.

麗貝卡：我想那行不通。

Diego: Yeah.

迪亞哥：對。

Rebecca: So what about tacos? Do you eat them a lot?

麗貝卡：那墨西哥玉米卷呢？你們經常吃嗎？

Diego: Yeah, we eat them a lot. Tacos is like Mexican fast food, so there's a lot of tacos stands in Mexico, and you can have them in all sorts of ways: with cheese, with onions, with meat, with different sauces, like green sauce, hot sauce, red sauce. Yeah.

迪亞哥：對，我們經常吃。墨西哥玉米卷算是墨西哥的快餐，墨西哥有很多賣墨西哥玉米卷的小攤，玉米卷裏可以加各種食物，比如奶酪、洋蔥、肉，然後搭配蔬菜汁、辣椒醬和紅醬等各種醬汁。

Rebecca: Do the tortillas... do they stand up or are they round ones that always fall over when you go to eat them?

麗貝卡：玉米麪餅是那種炸的很酥脆的還是圓形的，吃的時候總會掉的那種？

Diego: They're the round ones and they're also soft so they're not corn chips.

迪亞哥：是圓形的，口感鬆軟，並不是炸玉米片。

Rebecca: Like the ones we get.

麗貝卡：就像我們澳大利亞吃的那種。

Diego: Yes.

迪亞哥：對。

Rebecca: Not true Mexican.

麗貝卡：並不是地道的墨西哥玉米卷。
