生活英语口语:我现在开始吃素了…

W: would you like to come over for dinner tonight?

A: sure, but I have to tell you that I've become a vegetarian. I don't eat any kind of meat.

W: when did you decide to become a vegetarian?

A: I saw a program a few months ago about how animals are raised for human consumption. I haven't been able to eat a single piece of meat since.

W: that's great. Do you find that you eat a lot more fruit and vegetables now?

A: definitely. I've also been buying organic fruit and vegetables, which is more expensive, but much better for you because they don't have any pesticides on them.

W: you've really turned into a health nut, haven't you?

A: I guess you could say that. Eating fruit and vegetables helps keep you healthy. I've lost 5 pounds and I feel great!

W: how do you get enough protein in your diet?

A: well, I eat a lot more tofu, beans, nuts and some fish.

W: well, don't worry about dinner. I'll only make vegetarian dished for you. Do you like sushi?

A: I prefer cooked fish to raw fish, but if you really like it, make it.

W: how about a spicy sofu and vegatable stir-fry?

A: that sounds great. What time should I come over?

W: dinner will be ready at about 7:30 pm, so you can come over at 7 pm.

A: sounds good. See you there!

你今晚过来吃晚饭吗?

好啊，但是我得告诉你我现在开始吃素了。我不吃任何肉类食品。

你什么时候决定开始吃素的?

几个月前我看了一个节目讲的是为了向人们供应肉食，动物们是如何被饲养的。在那以后我再也吃不下一片肉了.

这太好了。你有没有发现你现在吃的水果和蔬菜都比以前多了?

一点没错。而且我现在开始买有机水果和蔬菜了，虽然价格贵了不少，但是对你的健康要好得多，因为上面没有农药。

你真是开始变成一个保养迷了，是吧?

我想你说对了。吃水果和蔬菜有助于保证身体健康。我已经减掉了5磅，感觉真是好极了。

那你怎么保证饮食中的营养呢?

嗯，我会吃更多的豆腐，豆类，坚果和鱼。

不用担心晚饭的事。我会专门为你制作素食的。你喜欢吃寿司吗?

我比较喜欢吃做熟的鱼而不是生鱼，不过如果你真的喜欢的话，就做吧。

辣豆腐炒青菜怎么样?

听起来好极了。我几点过去合适?

晚饭7点30做好，你可以7点钟过来。

好的。到时候见。
