你通常做什么菜？准备晚餐需要做什么

来听今天的讲解:

Beginner

A: do you like cooking?

你喜欢做饭吗？

B: I love it. I really enjoy creating a meal from various ingredients and watching my friends enjoy it. It gives me a real sense of satisfaction. Do you enjoy cooking?

我喜欢它。我真的很喜欢用各种食材制作一顿饭，看着我的朋友们享用。这给了我一种真正的满足感。你喜欢烹饪吗？

A: I don’t like it. It takes up too much time and I really hate having to clean up after the meal. I can’t stand doing the washing up, drying up, and putting all the dishes and cutlery away.

我不喜欢它。它占用了太多时间，我真的很讨厌饭后打扫卫生。我无法忍受洗餐具、烘干餐具和把所有的盘子和餐具都收起来。

B: you can ask the guests to help. My guests usually insist on doing the washing up. I just have to remind them where everything goes.

你可以请客人帮忙。我的客人通常坚持要洗碗。我只需要提醒他们一切都去了哪里。

A: so, what kind of dishes do you usually make? I know you like Italian food.

那么，你通常做什么菜？我知道你喜欢意大利菜。

B: Italian, Indian, and Chinese. I’ve only recently started cooking Chinese meals and I need some more practice.

意大利菜、印度菜和中国菜。我最近才开始做中餐，我需要更多的练习。

A: do you find it hard to get ingredients for Chinese food?

你觉得很难买到中国菜的原料吗？

B: not at all. You can find most of them at supermarket. The ingredients are usually the same as in western food. The way that the food is prepared is the big difference, not the ingredients.

一点也不。你可以在超市里找到大多数。配料通常和西餐一样。食物的制作方式有很大的不同，而不是配料。

A: how long does it take you to cook a meal for five or six people?

你为五六个人做一顿饭需要多长时间？

B: obviously, it depends on what I’m cooking, but I ‘d say it generally takes about one and a half hours.

很明显，这取决于我在做什么，但我认为这通常需要一个半小时。

Intermediate

A: hi. You said that you might need some help with preparing dinner. What would you like me to do?

嗨。你说你可能需要帮忙准备晚餐。你想让我做什么？

B: thanks for coming over to help. I really appreciate it. First, could you peel the vegetables? I’ve put them all in the skin and there’s a peeler.

谢谢你过来帮忙。我真的很感激。首先，你能把蔬菜去皮吗？我把它们都放在皮里了，还有一个削皮器。

A: Ok, I’ll peel the vegetables and you chop them. I’m terrible at chopping vegetables. I always seem to chop them into pieces that are either too big or too small. … wow! You can chop vegetable really quickly, just like professional chefs on TV!

好的，我把蔬菜去皮，你把它们切碎。我切菜很厉害。我似乎总是把它们切成太大或太小的块…哇！你切菜真的很快，就像电视上的专业厨师一样！

B: after you’ve chopped the vegetables, could you fry the meat in a little oil? Just use a very small amount of oil. Fry the meat until it is cooked, then we’ll add some spices to flavor it.

你把蔬菜切碎后，能把肉放进一点油里炸一下吗？只需要用少量的油。把肉炒熟，然后我们加入一些香料调味。

A: which spices are you going to add to the meat?

你打算在肉里加什么香料？

B: these ones here. The one on the left is very spicy, so we must be careful about how much we add.

这些在这里。左边的那个很辣，所以我们必须小心加多少。

A: yes. We don’t’ want everyone to burn their mouths and have a drink gallons of water! OK. I’m really to do the meat. Should I cook it over a low flame?

是的。我们不希望每个人都烧着嘴喝几加仑水！好的。我真的要做肉。我应该用小火煮吗？

B: cook it over a high flame, so that it will be ready quickly. Keep stirring the meat around the frying pan. Don’t let the meat stick to the bottom of the pan.

用大火煮，这样很快就做好了。在煎锅周围不断搅拌肉。不要让肉粘在锅底。

A: right. What are you doing over there?

对。你在那边干什么？

B: I’m mixing the sauce. It’s my specialty. I make it according to my own secret recipe!

我在调酱汁。这是我的专长。我根据自己的秘方做的！
