Chris:How do you like your steak?

克里斯:你的牛排要几分熟?

Ruth:Well done. I don't like any pink showing and Idon't mind if it's a little charred.

露丝:全熟。我不喜欢上面有点粉红色而且我不介意有点过。

Chris:I'll cook it the way you want it, but it'll be dryand tough.

克里斯:我会按你要求的烹调,但这样又干又不好嚼。

Ruth:Yes, but a longer cooking time kills food borne illnesses.

露丝:是的,但长时间的烹饪会将食源性疾病杀死。

I don't want to eat anything that's undercooked.

我可不想吃不熟的食物。

Chris:It doesn't have to be burnt to be safe to eat.

克里斯:牛排不需要为了安全食用烹制。

It's easy to gauge when meat is done.

肉的成熟度很容易判断。

How about if I brown each side to seal in the juices and then cook it to medium doneness?

如果我每边都烤得焦黄锁住里面的肉汁,然后弄成中等成熟怎么样?

Ruth:No, I don't want to take any chances.

露丝:不,我不想冒任何风险。

I'd rather the steak is overcooked than undercooked.

我宁愿吃老的也不吃弄不熟的。

Are you going to eat that?

你要吃那个吗?

Chris:Yes, I like my steak juicy.

克里斯:是的,我喜欢我的牛排很多汁。

Ruth:But that's raw!

露丝:但那是生的!

Chris:No, it's cooked rare, not raw.

克里斯:不，是几分熟,不是生的。

I'll cut into it so you can see that it's cooked.

我切一下，这样你就可以看到它已经熟了。

Ruth:It's oozing red! That is definitely not cooked.

露丝:这块肉正渗出红色!这肯定没熟。

Chris:I'll prove it to you.

克里斯:我会证明给你看。

I'll eat this piece and live to tell about it.

我吃这一块告诉你。

Ruth:Don't put that in your mouth! You're risking your health.

露丝:别把它放进你嘴里!你在拿自己的健康开玩笑。

Chris:I think I'll survive.
