A: Now, Sandra, hello!

 

桑德拉，你好！

 

B: Hello!

 

你好！

 

A: Now, you are a wine connoisseur. Or wine teacher. No!

 

你現(xiàn)在是一名紅酒鑒賞家?；蛘呤羌t酒鑒定老師。

 

B: Not really!

 

不完全是！

 

A: Not really?

 

不完全是？

 

B: A wine connoisseur. No, that's sort of a snobby.

 

紅酒鑒賞家，不，那名字太夸張了。

 

A: Oh, really?

 

真的嗎？

 

B: Yes.

 

是的。

 

A: Oh, OK. So, how would you describe what you do?

 

那你怎么形容你的職業(yè)？

 

B: A wine professional.

 

一名紅酒品酒師。

 

A: A wine professional. OK, so what does a wine professional do?

 

品酒師。好的，品酒師都要做什么？

 

B: Try to make money from wine.

 

從紅酒身上賺錢。

 

A: OK.

 

好的。

 

B: So, I'm a wine writer, a wine columnist. I teach wine.

 

因此我還是一名紅酒作家，我在寫一個紅酒專欄。我還教課。

 

A: OK, so let's say if I'm going to have friends over, and I'm making let's say steak. I'm having a grilling steak. Can I serve wine with steak?

 

如果說我邀請朋友來做客，以牛排為主菜，燒烤牛排好了。我能用紅酒搭配牛排嗎？

 

B: Yes. Steak goes with almost any red wine.

 

當(dāng)然，牛排和大多數(shù)紅酒都搭。

 

A: Oh, really. OK. So, red. How about if I want to mix wines. Is it OK to go red wine, white wine?

 

真的。好，那就紅酒吧。如果我還想上點(diǎn)兒其他酒。紅酒和其他白葡萄酒搭配嗎？

 

B: You always start out with white wines going towards red wines.

 

我們通常都是先喝白葡萄酒，然后再過渡到紅酒的。

 

A: OK, always go white wine first, then the red wine. (Yes) OK, and how about for dessert. Is there a special dessert wine?

 

好的，先喝白葡萄酒再喝紅葡萄酒。那么甜點(diǎn)呢。有什么酒可以搭配甜點(diǎn)嗎？

 

B: There are many great dessert wines, so it depends on what you like, how sweet you like and what you're making for dessert.

 

有許多可以搭配甜點(diǎn)的酒，具體要看甜點(diǎn)是什么了，還要看你喜歡的甜度和甜點(diǎn)的制作原料。

 

A: OK, so how about I'm making terimisu.

 

如果是提拉米蘇呢。

 

B: Terimisu, then I would probably have a tawny port, either from Portugal or from Australia, which makes great ports, or you might even go for a fruity and oaky zinfandel, which is dry wine from California.

 

提拉米蘇，那么我建議搭配葡萄牙或者澳大利亞的茶色波特酒，效果會非常好。我甚至?xí)ㄗh你加上水果和馨芳葡萄酒，那是一種加利福尼亞的干白葡萄酒。

 

A: OK, nice. How much will that cost me?

 

好的。那要多少錢？

 

B: Depends on how much you want to spend. For a port, a tawny port, anywhere in between 3,500 to 10,000(OK) And for a California Zinfandel, a good one probably about 3,000 (yen).

 

這取決于你打算花多少錢了。波特酒，茶色波特酒價位在3500到10,000日元之間，加利福尼亞的馨芳葡萄酒，一瓶好的要3,000日元。

 

A:3,000. I think I can maybe afford that. Not much. And, how about what would be a good wine to start off for like appetizers or with a salad or something like that.

 

3,000日元。我買得起。不是很貴。那么，什么酒能搭配開胃菜，沙拉或者類似的食物呢？

 

B: I always start off with a sparkling wine.

 

我總是用含汽葡萄酒。

 

A: A sparkling wine.

 

含汽葡萄酒。

 

B: Yes. I prefer champagne but if you can't afford it, even though champagne is the lowest price anywhere in the world is in Japan

 

是的。我喜歡用香檳酒，如果香檳酒太貴了的話就用它。雖然日本的香檳酒是世界上最便宜的香檳酒了。

 

A: Oh, really.

 

哦，真的。

 

B: And many of my students load up on cases of champagne and have it sent home by their companies container.

 

我有很多學(xué)生所在的公司都是用集裝箱裝載滿香檳酒運(yùn)過去的。

 

A: Oh, wow.

 

哇。

 

B: Yes. But champagne is a good starter.

 

是的。但香檳酒打頭陣是不錯的。
