实战口语情景对话：Ecuadorian Food 厄瓜多尔食物
Katia: Hello Felipe, how are you?
卡蒂亚：你好，菲利佩，你好吗?
Felipe: Fine thank you and you?
菲利佩：我很好，谢谢，你呢?
Katia: Good, good. Listen, I heard that you know a lot about Ecuadorean food. Can you tell me a little bit about it? What is your favorite or what is it that you don't like? Can you just enlighten me a little bit?
卡蒂亚：我也很好。我听说你对厄瓜多尔食物非常了解。你能跟我说说吗?你最喜欢的厄瓜多尔食物是什么?你不喜欢哪些食物?你能稍微给我介绍一下吗?
Felipe: Well, in Ecuador, well pretty much all the food in Ecuador is delicious. For example, we have frita which is some fried meat, pork meat, and also potatoes and corn because I love corn and there's also some typical dish called ceviche. Ceviche is a coastal traditional food and it's made out of shrimps and lemon and tomato. I think it's quite unique and nowhere else in the world you can find something like that. It's quite delicious. And there's also a really spicy food so maybe that's the kind of food that I don't like too much because it's too spicy and it makes you sweat.
菲利佩：好，厄瓜多尔几乎所有的食物都非常好吃。比如佛瑞塔，这是用炒肉、猪肉、土豆和玉米做的美食，我喜欢玉米，我们还有很多不同种类的水果，所以我们会用这些水果来做果汁和各种甜点。厄瓜多尔还有一种传统美食——酸橘汁腌鱼。这是一种沿海地区的传统美食，是用虾、柠檬和番茄做的。我认为这是厄瓜多尔特有的美食，世界其他地方没有这种食物。这道菜非常美味。厄瓜多尔也有非常辣的食物，可是我不太喜欢那种食物，因为太辣了，辣到会让人冒汗。
Katia: It sounds actually very exotic. What about staple food in Ecuador? What is it, the staple food? For example in Mexico we have tortilla. What about Ecuador, what is the most common food?
卡蒂亚：听起来很有异国风情。厄瓜多尔有什么主食?厄瓜多尔的主食是什么?像墨西哥的主食是墨西哥薄馅饼。那厄瓜多尔呢，厄瓜多尔最常见的食物是什么?
Felipe: Well, yeah, in Ecuador we also have tortillas but they have different names. For example we have arepas which are made of corn also so the staple food in Ecuador is similar to Mexico and Colombia also because it's made, it's composed of corn and potatoes and mainly people in Ecuador they love potatoes and corn and especially corn because there are many different kinds of corn so they can make many different kinds of soups and also a kind of a bread made of corn and cookies and so on.
菲利佩：厄瓜多尔也有薄馅饼，不过名字不一样。我们厄瓜多尔有用玉米做的玉米饼，可以说厄瓜多尔的主食同墨西哥和哥伦比亚的类似，因为也是用玉米和土豆做成的，厄瓜多尔有很多人喜欢土豆和玉米，人们尤其喜欢玉米，因为厄瓜多尔有很多种玉米，他们可以用玉米做不同的汤、面包和小饼干。
Katia: Hmm, it really sounds delicious. Now I'm very curious to try it but thank you for enlightening me about Ecuadorean food.
卡蒂亚：嗯，听起来很美味。我现在非常想品尝一下，谢谢你给我介绍厄瓜多尔的美食。
Felipe: Oh, you're welcome. Have a nice trip.
菲利佩：哦，不客气。祝你旅途愉快。
Katia: Thank you.
卡蒂亚：谢谢。
