生活英语情景口语100主题 42. Chinese Food 中餐
Dialogue 1
M: Are you good at cooking?
J: No, but I'm pretty good eating!
M: Do you prefer Chinesr food or Western food?
J: Well, to be honest with you, Chinese food is really different from western food.
M: Are you used to the food here?
J: I'm not really used to it yet.
M: What's you favourite Chinese dish?
J: Like most foreigners, I really like Sweet and Sour Pork and Kung Pao Chicken. I eat them almost every day.
M: Have you tried traditional Chinese dumplings yet?
J: I tried once, but they are quite difficult to eat with chopsticks.
M: You know. foreigners are not expected to use chopsticks proficiently. If you do , you'll give your Chinese friends quite an impression.
J: That's good to know. I'd like to try more Chinese food, but since I can't read any of the menus in the restaurants near my home, it's difficult to try new food.
M: If you want, I can introduce you to some typical Chinese dishes.
J: That would be great. I really only want to taste real Chinese food, not just the food that foreigners like to eat!
M: If you haven't tried Beijing duck yet, I'd like to treat you to a meal at a famous duck restaurant near Qianmen. I would be a pity if you left without tasting it!
Dialogue 2
J: Morgan, can I ask you a question?
M: Sure, what is it?
J: I was just wondering if many Chinese people take their leftover food home from a restaurant.
M: In most cities in China, doggie bags are quite uncommon.
J: What happens to all the leftover food?
M: It usually goes to the dump.
J: That seems like an awful waste! Why don't people order fewer dishes so that they don't have to throw so much away at the end of the meal?
M: Ordering a lot of food at restaurants is just a tradition in China. You know, in the past, people could not afford to eat out like they can today.
J: I guess that makes sense. I just think it would make more sense to take the leftovers home.
M: Well, if you want, you can take the leftovers home.
J: No, that's OK. You konw what they say: When in Rome...
M: I was impressed that you tried the pig's feet. I heard that may foreigners don't like to eat them.
J: Many people in my generation don't eat pig's feet, but my parents grew up eating them, so I think they're OK.
M: Did you like them? You could take the last one home with you.
J: That's OK. I'll try anything once, but sometimes, once is enough!
