It’s Time for a Snack!
點心時間到!
Part A
Debbie and Henry are watching TV.
黛比與亨利正在看電視。
(Debbie = D ; Henry = H)
D: The cookies in that advertisement1 look similar to cookies from my childhood.
H: You had cookies as a kid? We only had crackers in my house.
D: Why was that?
H: My mom felt they were too sweet and would cause us to become overweight.
D: Cookies are nothing when you compare them to doughnuts.
H: Don’t tell me that you also had doughnuts!
D: OK, I won’t tell you. So, what other snacks could you have?
H: We snacked on raisins. And if we were really hungry, then Mom would give us some trail mix.
Part A
黛比:那支廣告中的餅乾看起來跟我童年時的餅乾很像。
亨利:妳小時候會吃餅乾?我們在家只吃薄脆餅乾。
黛比:那是為什麼?
亨利:我媽媽覺得它們太甜了,會導致我們變得過重。
黛比:當你拿餅乾跟甜甜圈相比,它們根本不算什麼。
亨利:別跟我說妳也會吃甜甜圈!
黛比:好,我就不跟你說了。那麼,你還能吃什麼其他的點心?
亨利:我們把葡萄乾當零嘴吃,而如果我們餓扁了,那麼媽媽就會給我們一些什錦果仁。
Part B
Henry and Debbie are shopping for snacks.
亨利跟黛比正在採購零食。
(Henry = H ; Debbie = D)
H: All that we have left to get for the barbecue is snacks.
D: OK, we must get potato chips and cheese puffs.
H: Really? I was thinking of something more along the lines of popcorn and pretzels.
D: You’re kidding with me, right? Those are boring and have no taste.
H: I don’t agree. They’re quite tasty, and I’m sure some of our friends will like them.
D: You’re probably right. I’m sorry that I rejected your suggestions.
H: No problem.
D: Oh, I’d also like to get some candy bars for my lunches.
Part B
亨利:所有我們烤肉要買的東西就只剩零食了。
黛比:好的,我們必須買洋芋片和起司泡芙。
亨利:是嗎?我考慮的是爆米花和椒鹽蝴蝶餅之類的東西。
黛比:你在跟我開玩笑,對吧?那些既乏味又無味。
亨利:我不同意。它們相當美味,而且我確定我們的一些朋友會喜歡。
黛比:你也許是對的,抱歉我否決了你的建議。
亨利:沒關係。
黛比:喔,我還想買一些糖果棒當午餐。
Part C
Debbie and Henry just tried out some new snacks.
黛比與亨利剛試吃了一些新零食。
(Debbie = D ; Henry = H)
D: I’m not much of a meat person, but I really enjoyed the beef jerky.
H: Me too, but it was a bit spicy. What about the dried squid?
D: It’s not my cup of tea. I found it too fishy.
H: So did I. Also, I found the nougat too hard to chew and even harder to swallow.
D: Really? I just let the nougat warm in my mouth. It was quite pleasant.
H: I can’t say that for the cotton candy.
D: No way! That was my favorite.
H: It also made my fingers all sticky.
Part C
黛比:我稱不上是個愛吃肉的人,但我真的很喜歡牛肉乾。
亨利:我也是,不過它有點辣。那魷魚絲呢?
黛比:不合我的胃口,我覺得魚腥味太重了。
亨利:我也這樣認為。還有,我覺得牛軋糖硬到嚼不動,甚至更難吞嚥。
黛比:真的嗎?我就讓牛軋糖在口中溫熱,口感滿不錯的。
亨利:我可不會那樣形容棉花糖。
黛比:不會吧!那是我的最愛。
亨利:它還讓我的手指整個黏答答的。
