Using Herbs and Spices in Cooking

烹飪時使用藥草和香料

Gisela: That smells wonderful!

吉塞拉：聞起來好極了!

Danny: This is my family’s recipe. The secret is in the combination of seasonings we use.

丹尼：這是我家的食譜。秘訣在于將我們使用的所料混合。

Gisela: I can see that. You must have 30 different dried and fresh herbs and spices on this counter.

吉塞拉：我能看出來。你們里面一定有30種不同的干的以及新鮮的香草和香料。

Danny: To get a bold flavor, we use a lot of aromatic seeds, barks, and roots.

丹尼：為了讓味道濃一些，我們會添加大量的芳香的種子、樹皮還有樹根。

Gisela: How much do you put in of each one?

吉塞拉：你每種放多少量啊?

Danny: Precise measurements aren’t really necessary. I put in a pinch of this and a dash of that. I add them to taste.

丹尼：沒必要精確測量。我會這個放點，那個放點。然后嘗嘗。

Gisela: So getting the recipe wouldn’t do me any good, huh?

吉塞拉：所以這個食譜對我來說沒有什么幫助是嗎?

Danny: I’m afraid not. I learned how to make this in my mother’s kitchen.

丹尼：也不是。我在媽媽的廚房學(xué)的。

Gisela: Would you teach me if I volunteered to be your apprentice, doing all of your prep work?

吉塞拉：如果我自愿當(dāng)你的助手，幫你做所有的準備工作，你愿意教我嗎?

Danny: That depends.

丹尼：看情況吧。

Gisela: On what?

吉塞拉：看什么情況?

Danny: On how quick you are with this potato peeler.

丹尼：你削土豆皮的速度。
