時差N小時:烤肉計劃

Mike: Did you drop Angela and Simon a line toremind them about the barbeque tomorrow night?

邁克：你寫信給安吉拉和西蒙了嗎?提醒他們不要忘了明天晚上的烤肉計劃。

Amanda: Sure. I also scribbled down some thingswe should go and pick up from the supermarketwhen we've got time later.

阿曼達：當然寫了。我還寫了一些稍后我們?nèi)粲袝r間要去超市買的東西。

Mike: Let's not buy that ubiquitous barbeque sauce that people always slather all over theirmeat. I want to try making my own marinades. I could do a sweet one for chicken and a spicyone for the steak. I'll also wrack my brains and see if I can come up with a Moon Festivalcocktail.

邁克：我們不買那些普通的沙茶醬。人們總是在烤肉上涂上厚厚一層沙茶醬。我想自己做鹵汁。我給雞肉做些稍甜一些的鹵汁，給牛排做些稍辣的鹵汁。我還會開動腦筋，看看我是否能弄點中秋節(jié)雞尾酒。

Amanda: Great idea. We better get all the ingredients now because at this time of yeareverything sells like hotcakes. One more thing, remind me to get some kind of groundsheet orwe'll end up getting filthy.

阿曼達：好主意。我們最好弄齊所有所需的原料，因為每年的這個時候一切都太搶手了。還有一件事，記著提醒我買一些露營的防潮布，不然燒烤結束時我們都會弄得臟亂不堪。

Mike: Shall we go to one of the riverside parks rather than brave the hordes in the city?

邁克：我們?nèi)ズ訛I公園吧?不在城市里和大家擠來擠去的。

Amanda: Hmm. I think Angela wants to stay in the city. You know she loves being aroundpeople. I know that's probably not what you had in mind.

阿曼達：嗯。我覺得安吉拉希望是在城市里。你知道她喜歡熱鬧。我知道你可能不想待在城里。

Mike: Not at all! The world and his wife will be out barbequing. There'll be screaming kidseverywhere, not to mention all that noxious barbecue smoke. Looks like I'll be spending thewhole evening biting my tongue.

邁克：一點也不想!到時候，人人都出來烤肉。到處是尖叫的孩子，更何況還有有毒的燒烤煙霧。那樣會讓我整晚都郁郁寡歡。
