美語情景對話 第221期:Sushi 壽司
Todd: Hey, Jessica, what are you going to have for dinner tonight?
託德：嗨，傑西卡，你今天晚餐打算吃什麼？Jessica: Tonight is sushi night.
傑西卡：今天晚上吃壽司。Todd: Oh, you're going to sushi.
託德：哦，你要去吃壽司啊。
Jessica: Well, actually no. My girlfriend and I, we buy sushi every Tuesdays and Fridays, and those are sushi night.
傑西卡：對，實際上也不是。我的女性朋友和我每週二和週五都會買壽司，所以這就是壽司之夜。Todd: Oh, Wow!
託德：哦，哇！Jessica: Yeah, Yeah. It's because, well we buy it in the supermarket and bring it home cause it's cheaper than eating in a restaurant.
傑西卡：嗯，對。我們會在超市買壽司然後拿回家吃，因爲這樣比去餐廳吃要便宜。Todd: Yeah, it is a lot cheaper.
託德：沒錯，便宜很多。Jessica: Yeah.
傑西卡：對。Todd: OK, what sushi do you eat?
託德：嗯，你吃哪種壽司？Jessica: Well, we always buy the box, which has a little bit of everything. And I'm never quite sure what any of it is. I know there's a piece of salmon in there. Some octopus, or squid. Um, and then from that point on I'm not quite sure what anything else is, but it's all delicious, so I eat it all, and then we also have rolls, so we buy just different rolls. Actually, last week we tried natto. Have you ever tried that before?
傑西卡：嗯，我們通常會買一盒的那種，有各種壽司。其實我根本就不清楚那些都是什麼壽司。我知道有一塊上面有三文魚的壽司。還有一些有章魚和魷魚。嗯，除了那些，我就不知道其他的都是什麼了，不過都很好吃，我會把它們吃光，當然我們還會買不同的壽司卷。實際上，上週我們嘗試了納豆壽司。你有吃過嗎？Todd: Yeah, it's gross.
託德：吃過，有點噁心。Jessica: It's the most vile, disgusting food you can ever possibly eat, so I definitely don't recommend that but.
傑西卡：那可能是你吃過最糟糕，最噁心的食物，我絕對不會推薦那個的。Todd: Well, have you had uni?
託德：嗯，你吃過海膽壽司嗎？Jessica: I have not.
傑西卡：沒有。Todd: Uni is gross. Uni is sea urchin and it looks like an orange tongue.
託德：海膽也很噁心。Uni就是海膽，看上去就像橙色的舌頭。Jessica: Oh, I've seen that. Is that what that is?
傑西卡：哦，我看到過那個。它就是那個樣子嗎？Todd: Yeah, stay away from that.
託德：沒錯，躲它遠點。Jessica: I will. I definitely will.
傑西卡：我會的。絕對會的。
