听力每日练习 listen 668 The Chinese Delicacy

2--I am not sure. What was it like?

1--In the Qing Dynasty the court invented a special type of cuisine for the royal family, which included many elaborate dishes at one meal. It is called Man Han Quan Xi.

2--Sounds good. Let's go have some now.

1--It's practically impossible now because there are probably only a few people in the world who know how to make it. They say it takes three to four days for them to make just one meal.

2--It's very time consuming.

1--I think some people do eat it, but most people don't have the chance to.

2--It's a fast paced world today. People don't have time to cook for five days for a meal.

1--That's not the problem. The problem is that most people don't know how to cook it because there are so many kinds of dishes.

译文：

1--你听说过满汉全席吗？

2--不大清楚。能告诉我吗？

1--在中国清朝时期，宫廷里发明了一种包括很多道菜的美宴，称做“满汉全席”，不过只有极少数皇族才能够享用。

2--听起来不错呀。我们现在就去吃。

1--恐怕不行。现在，也许只有少数几个人会做。据说做一次得花三四天的时间。

2--那的确很浪费时间。

1--我觉得确实有少数人能吃到，但大多数人没有这个机会的。

2--这是一个快节奏的社会。人们不可能花上五天时间去准备一顿饭。

1--这还不是最根本的问题。由于满汉全席菜肴种类繁多，程序复杂，所以大部分人根本就不知道是怎么做的。
