Todd: OK, so Shona, what did you do this morning?

託德：夏娜，你今天上午做什麼了？

Shona: This morning? So far today, I went to the supermarket and bought some muesli. Had my breakfast, which was the first muesli I've had in a few weeks, so I was quite enjoying that, and then I went to Ikea of all places and done a spot of shopping and bought like really cool cushion with embroidered birds on it, and then I went for a jog like just recently, and I've been cleaning my room also.

夏娜：今天上午嗎？今天，我先去超市買了什錦麥片。然後回家吃早餐，這是我這幾個星期以來第一次吃什錦麥片，所以我很享受，之後我去宜家購物了，我買了繡有小鳥圖案的靠墊，靠墊非常舒服，然後我像往常一樣去慢跑了，之後我還整理了房間。

Todd: OK, pretty busy day. So let's go back to the muesli. Now for people that don't know muesli, what is muesli?

託德：好，你這一天真忙。我們來說一下什錦麥片。可能有人不知道那是什麼，什麼是什錦麥片？

Shona: Muesli consists of pieces of oat and dried fruits and also like flakes of corn and it's just a bit of mixture of these things.

夏娜：什錦麥片裏有燕麥片，水果乾和玉米片，什錦麥片就是把這些食物混合在一起。

Todd: Now, you eat it with milk?

託德：是搭配牛奶一起吃嗎？

Shona: Yeah, you have it with milk, or some people who are a bit crazy have it with orange juice.

夏娜：對，和牛奶一起吃，有些人會搭配橙汁一起吃，這有點瘋狂。

Todd: Get out of here. Seriously?

託德：不可能吧。你說真的嗎？

Shona: No, they do, yeah, orange juice. Orange juice in their muesli.

夏娜：對，的確有人配橙汁。用橙汁搭配什錦麥片。

Todd: Is that like for vegetarians and vegans?

託德：素食主義者會這麼搭配嗎？

Shona: No, I think it's just people enjoy the taste of orange juice and muesli. Or maybe they're allergic to milk.

夏娜：不是，我覺得有人喜歡橙汁和什錦麥片搭配在一起的味道。或者可能他們對牛奶過敏吧。

Todd: Oh, could be. Could be. Actually, you said you went to a furniture store.

託德：哦，對，可能是這樣。你說你去傢俱店了。

Shona: Yeah, there is like a big one.

夏娜：對，一間很大的傢俱店。

Todd: Ah, so what did you buy?

託德：那你買什麼了？

Shona: I bought a massive cushion, pillow thing, which is all embroidered. It's very cute and I also bought, like a bed cover for my bed. It's orange, and I was looking for some ferry lights actually, but they didn't seem to have any so I was a bit disappointed by that.

夏娜：我買了一個大靠墊，上面繡滿了圖案。看上去非常可愛，我還買了一個牀單。我買的是桔色的牀單，其實我本來想買彩燈，不過那裏沒有，我有點失望。

Todd: I'm sorry. What?

託德：抱歉，你剛說什麼？

Shona: Ferry lights.

夏娜：彩燈。

Todd: I don't know what that is.

託德：我不知道那是什麼。

Shona: It's like a really long strand of wire and it's just got lots of tiny lights of it, like randomly, so you've have saw them like Christmas tree lights.

夏娜：就是長長的線上有許多小燈，很隨意的那種，就像聖誕樹彩燈一樣。

Todd: Ah, right.

託德：我，我知道了。

Shona: You have them on your Christmas tree. I kind of like them. I just like them in my room.

夏娜：可以把它們掛在聖誕樹上。我喜歡這種燈，我想掛在我房間裏。

Todd: Well, that's pretty cool.

託德：嗯，那很酷。

Shona: Yeah. And also some, cause they have like Swedish food there, so I bought some crisp bread as well.

夏娜：對。那裏有瑞典食物，所以我還買了脆皮面包。

Todd: Oh, cool. This is Ikea.
