实战口语情景对话：Breakfast 早餐

Todd: So, Adrienne, what did you have for breakfast today?

托德：埃德里安娜，你今天早餐吃的什么?

Adrienne: This morning, I forgot to eat breakfast.

埃德里安娜：今天早上我忘了吃早餐。

Todd: Nothing! You had nothing?

托德：你早上什么也没吃?

Adrienne: I had grapefruit juice.

埃德里安娜：我喝了葡萄柚汁。

Todd: Grapefruit juice! That's not a very healthy breakfast.

托德：葡萄柚汁!那可不是健康的早餐。

Adrienne: I know. Don't tell my mother.

埃德里安娜：我知道。不要告诉我妈妈。

Todd: I'm gonna tell her. She's gonna listen. She's gonna hear this on ELLLO and she's gonna be very upset.

托德：我会告诉她的。她会收听节目的。她会收听ELLO网站的节目，她知道后会很难过的。

Adrienne: Please don't tell my mother. You're right. She'll be very upset if she hears that.

埃德里安娜：请不要告诉我妈妈。你说得对，她知道以后会非常难过的。

Todd: Mothers know we must have breakfast.

托德：妈妈们总是说，我们一定要吃早餐。

Adrienne: Hmm.

埃德里安娜：嗯。

Todd: I never miss breakfast. So normally, when you do have breakfast, what do you have?

托德：我从来不会不吃早餐。你早餐一般吃什么?

Adrienne: Ah, usually I have yogurt and fruit.

埃德里安娜：嗯，通常是酸奶和水果。

Todd: Yogurt!

托德：酸奶!

Adrienne: Yes.

埃德里安娜：对。

Todd: Now, do you get like the fruit-swirly kind or do you just get the plain white yogurt?

托德：是有果粒的酸奶还是普通的酸奶?

Adrienne: No, no, I like the plain.

埃德里安娜：我喜欢普通的酸奶。

Todd: Oh, really.

托德：哦，真的吗?

Adrienne: Really. The sweetened yogurt tastes to chemical to me. It's got all kinds ofstrange sweeteners and things in it that I don't like, so I prefer to buy plain yogurt. Maybe sweeten it myself with honey or molasses or fruit, something natural. It tastes better.

埃德里安娜：真的。我觉得甜酸奶尝起来像化学品。我不喜欢那些奇怪的甜味剂，所以我喜欢买普通酸奶喝。我可能会自己加天然的蜂蜜、糖蜜和水果让酸奶变甜。这种甜味更好吃一些。

Todd: Well, what fruit do you put in your yogurt? Do you put the fruit in the yogurt or do you have it separate?

托德：你会在酸奶里放什么水果?你是把水果放进酸奶里，还是分开吃?

Adrienne: I don't know. It depends on if I'm in a hurry I guess.

埃德里安娜：不好说。这要取决于我是否赶时间。

Todd: Right. Right. So assuming that you cook breakfast sometimes...

托德：好。好。你做早餐的时候……

Adrienne: Rarely.

埃德里安娜：我很少做早餐吃。

Todd: OK. But when you do cook breakfast, what do you make?

托德：好。一般你会做什么早餐?

Adrienne: My favorite breakfast to cook is spinach and cheese omelet.

埃德里安娜：我最喜欢做的早餐是菠菜和奶酪煎蛋卷。

Todd: That sounds good.

托德：听起来不错。

Adrienne: It's really good — with turkey bacon and hash-browns.

埃德里安娜：非常好吃，可以搭配火鸡培根和土豆饼。

Todd: Turkey bacon!

托德：火鸡培根!

Adrienne: Yeah.

埃德里安娜：对。

Todd: So is that bacon that tastes like turkey, or...

托德：是尝起来像火鸡的培根吗?

Adrienne: Bacon made out of turkey meat.

埃德里安娜：是用火鸡肉做的培根。

Todd: Does it have the fat and stuff just like the normal bacon?

托德：那和普通培根一样含有脂肪吗?

Adrienne: Yeah, it's not as fatty. I think that's why I like it so it's crunchier. It's crispier.

埃德里安娜：对，含有很多脂肪。我喜欢它的原因是它嚼起来有吱吱的声音，很松脆。

Todd: OK.

托德：好。

Adrienne: So to me it's has a better taste, but a lot of people really dislike it, so you have to.... it 's kind of an acquired taste I guess.

埃德里安娜：我觉得很美味，可是有许多人不喜欢，所以你要……我觉得这是后天养成的口味。

Todd: Right. Right.

托德：好，好的。

Adrienne: But my mom often cooks turkey bacon in with the regular bacon for breakfast for everyone so that you can't really tell the difference cause it has that bacon fat taste to it, so it kind of defeats the purpose of being healthy about the bacon but, anyway.

埃德里安娜：我妈妈经常用火鸡培根和普通培根做早餐，所以其实分不太清区别，因为都有脂肪，所以吃培根就失去了保持健康的意义。

Todd: Yeah, but it tastes good. That's all that matters.

托德：对，不过味道很好。这是最重要的。

Adrienne: For a big breakfast like that, it's true.

埃德里安娜：从丰盛的早餐这个角度来说，的确是这样。
