大家都在關注:19年7月國際學校開放日全國優質國際高中國際初中國際小學推薦
李華和Larry 一起去附近一家新開的中國餐館吃自助餐。李華今天要學兩個
常用語:yum 和yuck.
LL: There is so much good food at thisbuffet , Li Hua. I can't wait
to eat some of those spring rolls. Yum!
LH:你說yum ,那你肯定很喜歡吃春卷!因為我知道,yum 在英語里就是可
口,好吃的意思。
LL: Hey, Li Hua , you are right! Where did you learn about the
word "Yum"?
LH:我前不久跟一幫美國朋友去吃pizza ,其中一個人剛咬第一口,就大喊
yum !他說自己最愛吃的東西就是pizza.
LL: Well , I really enjoy eating spring rolls - especially when
they are fresh. And these spring rolls look especially tasty. What makes
you say "Yum!" , Li Hua ?
LH:我最愛吃的菜是魚香茄子,想想都會流口水。Yum !
LL: Well , I am afraid eggplantis not one of my favorites , Li
Hua. I don't find eggplant dishes to be very yummy. LH: Yummy肯定是從
yum 來的吧!
LL: Right! Yummy is used to describe a thing - Like yummy spring
rolls or yummy eggplant. LH :所以yummy 是形容詞,yum 則是發感慨的時候
說的。
LL: Speaking of being about to eat , let's take our plates over
to the table and enjoy this yummy food. LH:對啊,我們得趕緊吃,吃完第
一盤,馬上再回來拿,你看他們正在上龍蝦呢! Yum!
LL: But don't fill up too much , Li Hua. You'll want to save room
for dessert. The almond cookies look especially yummy. LH :杏仁酥看起
來確實比紅豆面包好,那些紅豆面包看起來好像不太新鮮的樣子。
LL: Well , I think most of the food here is yummy. What do you think,
Li Hua?
LH:跟其他中國餐館比,味道確實還不錯。
LL: But - is it as yummy as the food you used to eat back home in
China ?
LH:這里的飯菜當然沒辦法跟我媽做的飯比了!
******
LL: What's that on your plate, Li Hua ? Is it a snake? Yuck !
LH:我如果沒有理解錯的話,這個yuck一定是yum 的反義詞吧?你覺得吃蛇
肉很惡心嗎?
LL: Right again, Li Hua. Yuck is an exclamationof disgust. And I
am sorry, but I find the idea of eating a snake disgusting. LH :我可
不是故意要惡心你。不瞞你說,蛇肉可好吃了,而且在美國,你想吃到蛇肉可不
容易。剛才你說yuck的樣子,突然間讓我想起了我第一次吃奶酪的感覺。
LL: Cheese ? Cheese makes you say "Yuck !" , Li Hua ? What's
wrong with cheese anyway?
LH:中國人做飯不用奶酪,以前我在中國的時候也沒吃過。可是美國人都很
能吃奶酪。我到美國后,第一次吃奶酪的時候,簡直難以下咽。 Yuck !那種感
覺,現在還記憶猶新。
LL: That is interesting. Actually, Li Hua , there are some kinds
of cheese that I find pretty yucky, too. LH: Yucky? Yucky肯定又是從
yuck來的!就好像yummy 是從yum 來的一樣。
LL: Yucky is used to describe disgusting things. In this case, I
was talking about disgusting cheeses. I find blue cheese to be especially
yucky. LH :你也有不愛吃的奶酪?我是從來沒有嘗過blue cheese ,可是如果
連你都覺得yucky 的話,那我也就不用嘗了。
LL: I don't blame you, Li Hua. No one should have to eat something
that yucky. LH: Larry,你拿的魚香茄子怎么也沒吃啊?不好吃嗎?你不會覺
得魚香茄子也yucky 吧!
LL: I think I told you earlier , Li Hua , that I don't find eggplant
to be very yummy. In fact , I do think it is pretty yucky. LH:既然覺
得魚香茄子難吃,那你干嘛還要拿呢?
LL: You told me fish fragrant eggplant was your favorite dish, Li
Hua. So even though I think eggplant is yucky , I thought I should still
try it. LH:這就證明,一個人覺得yummy 的食物,換個人完全可能會覺得yucky.
Larry ,我看你呀,還是去吃春卷吧!
今天李華學到了兩個常用語。一個是yum 或yummy ,是指食物可口好吃的意
思。另一個是yuck或yucky ,是指食物難吃,難以下咽。
