和老外聊天的地道口語第150期:吃肉會讓人思路不清楚?!
對話1
Ada: why are you worried Lily won't like the food? This roast beef looks great!
Jason: that's just it. She just told me she's a vegetarian!
A: Uhh, really? But she ate meat before.
J: yeah, she became a vegan after she got married.
A: why? What happened to her after getting married?
J: you know, her husband is a strict vegan. Influenced by her husband, she changed into a vegetarian.
A: can she eat eggs?
J: I think so. But vegans connot.
A: but I think eggs are baby chickens.
J: no, I don't agree. Eggs are not baby chcikens, and thus they are not life.
A: yes, maybe you are right. So, what shall we do now?
J: maybe we could prepare a salad for her.
A: OK.

你爲什麼擔心莉莉會不喜歡這裏的食物呢?烤牛肉味道真好!
這就對了,她剛剛告訴我說她是素食主義者.
是嗎?可是她以前是吃肉的啊.
是啊,她是結婚後變成素食主義者的.
這是爲什麼呢?
她丈夫是個素食主義者,受他丈夫的影響,她現在也只吃雞蛋和牛奶.
她能吃雞蛋嗎?
我想是的.但是嚴格的素食主義者不吃.
可雞蛋不是會孵出小雞嗎?
不是的,雞蛋並沒有生命啊.
可能吧,那我們現在應該怎麼辦?
或許我們可以爲她做點蔬菜沙拉.
好的.

A: hello Jason. Are you free this Saturday evening?
J: yes, I have no plans.
A: would you like to come to our barbecue?
J: yes, that sounds wonderful.
A: Ok. See you then.
J: but wait, wait, will there be food that is not meat? You know, I am a vegetarian.
A: hey! I didn't know that! When did you become a vegetarian?
J: the other day, I decided that I needed to lose some weight so I am going to try to be a vegetarian. And you know what? I don't miss the taste of meat.
A: really? That's amazing.
J: yes, it really is. After having vegetarian diet, I have much more energy, I need less sleep, I feel calmer, I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat and I can think more clearly.
A: are you kidding? I really don't think that you think less clearly on non-vegetarian diet.
J: yes, maybe. But I feel better since becoming a vegetarian. Maybe you could also have a try.
A: maybe I'll also have a try some day, but I'm afraid that it would be difficult for me to refuse meat!
J: maybe you would change your mind after having vegetarian diet.
A: we'll see. Anyway, I'll prepare some vegetarian food for the barbecue. See you then!

傑森,你好,週六晚上有空嗎?
有啊,到目前爲止,我還沒有任何計劃.
那你願意參加我們的燒烤晚會嗎?
好吧,很榮幸能參加.
好吧,那到時候見.
等等,你們有供應素食嗎?我是一個素食主義者.
夥計,你什麼時候變成素食主義者了的?
就在不久前,我決定減肥,就開始嘗試素食了.結果一段時間後,我居然不再喜歡吃肉了.
是嗎?太神奇了.
的確如此.吃了素食之後,我感覺精力更加充沛了,需要的睡眠也少了,感覺更平靜了,而且還可以維持理想的體重,不用擔心食量,思路也更清晰了.
你不是在開玩笑吧?我可不認爲吃肉就會思路不清晰.
可能吧.不過自從改吃素以後,我感覺很好,你也可以嘗試下.
那改天我也試一下吧,不過恐怕我很難抗拒肉的美味.
試過之後說不定你會改變主意呢.
好吧,無論如何,我會準備一些素食的,到時見!
