和老外聊天的地道口語第58期:我們去吃鴛鴦火鍋吧!

A: I'm so hungry. Shall we go eat now, Rick?
R: sure. Where do you want to go? Are you in the mood for anything in particular?
A: how about some dumplings? I just can't get enough of them.
R: dumplings again?! Oh, Amy, let's try something new!
A: well, what do you have in mind?
R: how about the Mongolian hot pot?
A: oh, it's too spicy for me. Don't you remember last time when I tasted the lamb? It was so spicy my eyes teared up!
R: maybe we can try "Yuanyang pot" this time. You can choose the non-spicy soup base.
A: sounds great. Do they serve noodles? I am in the mood for some tasty noodles as well.
R: yes. The sliced noodles they offer are among the most authentic Shanxi cuisines.
A: great. Let's go!
R: wait a minute. Let me throw on a sweater.


我好餓啊!瑞克,我們現在去吃飯吧.
好啊.我們上哪兒吃呢?你想吃點什麼?
餃子怎麼樣?我總是百吃不厭.
又吃餃子?哦,埃米,爲什麼不吃點別的?
你有什麼建議嗎?
火鍋怎麼樣?
啊,我覺得太辣了.難道你忘了上次我嚐了口羊肉,就辣的我直流眼淚?
我們這次可以試試”鴛鴦鍋”.你可以選不辣的底鍋.
聽起來不錯.那裏有面條賣嗎?我還想吃點麪條.
有啊,那兒的刀削麪還是正宗的山西口味呢.
不錯,那我們走吧.
稍等一下,我換身衣服.
