實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Belgium Cuisine 比利時(shí)美食

Ade: So according to you what is the most popular thing in Belgium regarding to food?

阿德琳娜：你認(rèn)為比利時(shí)最受歡迎的食物是什么?

Chris: Well it maybe doesn't give us a good name but I have to say chocolate. I mean Belgian chocolate is the most famous thing we have. You see chocolate everywhere, whatever occasion we have for celebration, there's chocolate. With Christmas we make these figures out of chocolate, Easter in the same, all these Eastern figures out of chocolate, waffles with chocolate. Everything with chocolate. You should just visit one of our cities and I think every 10 shops is a chocolate shop.

克里斯：也許那并沒有什么帶來(lái)好聲譽(yù)，不過(guò)我還是要說(shuō)巧克力。巧克力是比利時(shí)最出名的東西。你在任何地方、任何場(chǎng)合都可以看到巧克力，我們舉行慶典的時(shí)候一定會(huì)有巧克力。圣誕節(jié)時(shí)我們會(huì)用巧克力來(lái)裝飾，復(fù)活節(jié)也是一樣，復(fù)活節(jié)的裝飾都是用巧克力做的，我們還用巧克力做華夫餅。一切都和巧克力有關(guān)。你應(yīng)該去比利時(shí)的城市走走，我想大概每10家店中就有一家是巧克力店。

Ade: Wow! So that means you are very sweet people.

阿德琳娜：哇哦!這表明你們是非常甜美的人。

Chris: I hope so.

克里斯：希望如此。

Ade: So chocolate, that's it, something else?

阿德琳娜：巧克力，還有其他的嗎?

Chris: Well, chocolate is the most famous one, but of course we have more. Not all that tasty because what's also really famous are these Brussel Sprouts, but they're not really my favourite. But something else that's really famous in Belgium is these places where you have all kinds of fried things It's actually like a McDonalds or a Burger King, but we have these little places where... I mean a lot of people go there, they have their hamburger, they have their fries, some really... it's difficult to explain because it's actually something only Belgium, where you get your meat, but it's actually competition with McDonalds. A lot of Belgians have tried because it's had so big success in Belgium that they tried and opened one of these things in Spain for example, but they always failed. I don't know why. It must be really something Belgian, these fried places.

克里斯：巧克力是最著名的，當(dāng)然我們還有其他美食。雖然不是都很美味，甘藍(lán)小包菜也非常有名，不過(guò)這并不是我的最愛。比利時(shí)還有一些很有名的餐廳，這些餐廳有各式各樣的油炸食品，就像麥當(dāng)勞或漢堡王一樣，不過(guò)這些餐廳……很多人去這類餐廳吃東西，他們?cè)谀抢锍詽h堡、吃油炸食品，這很難解釋，不過(guò)這是比利時(shí)特有的餐廳，你可以在這些餐廳享用肉類，當(dāng)然這些餐廳在同麥當(dāng)勞競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。有很多比利時(shí)人嘗試過(guò)，因?yàn)檫@類餐廳在比利時(shí)非常受歡迎，所以很多人曾嘗試在西班牙等國(guó)家開店，但是這些嘗試都失敗了。我也不知道原因。這些有油炸食品的餐廳一定充滿了比利時(shí)特色。

Ade: Wow! It seems that you really don't have a healthy diet, eat there in Belgium.

阿德琳娜：哇哦!看起來(lái)比利時(shí)的飲食不太健康。

Chris: Yeah. Well it really much looks like it but of course that's not our everyday dish.

克里斯：對(duì)。看起來(lái)的確是這樣，當(dāng)然我們并不是每天都吃這些東西。

Ade: Gracias Chris.

阿德琳娜：謝謝你，克里斯。
