速成英语口语第三册 Lesson6:What Should I Order

Lesson 6 Key Conversation "What Should I Order?"

Trisha:What are you going to get, Grandma?

Edith:I don't know. I've heard their meatloaf is great, but I've never been here for lunch before.

Trisha:Really? You make great meatloaf at home. Why don't you try something different? Like the Cajun Chicken Salad. Here, take a look. I usually get my dressing¹ on the side.

Edith:What, this one here? I don't think so. Last time I had Cajun food, I was in the bathroom for hours.

Trisha:Grandma! Well, maybe something else. Kelly really recommended² the lasagna-said she gave it five stars.

Edith:That sounds good. But a little too heavy for lunch.

Trisha:Well, I liked the Italian sub I had here last time. Here, look, you can get fries, potato chips, veggies, or beans³ for your side dish.

Edith:All right. As long as they don't slip⁴ any onions in it.

Trisha:Trust me-you'll love it!

 

第6课 “我应该点什么？”

特里莎：奶奶，你要点什么？

伊迪丝：我不知道。我听说他们的肉糕很棒，但我以前从没来过这里吃过午饭。

崔莎：真的吗？你在家做的肉糕很棒。你为什么不试试别的？比如卡津鸡肉沙拉。来，看一看。我通常把调料放在一边。

伊迪丝：什么，这个？我不这么认为。上次我吃卡津食物时，我在卫生间里待了好几个小时。

崔莎：奶奶！也许还有别的事。凯利强力推荐了千层面，她说她给了它五颗星。

伊迪丝：听起来不错。但是午餐有点太重了。

崔莎：嗯，我喜欢我上次在这里的潜艇三明治。在这里，你可以吃薯条、薯片、蔬菜或豆类作为配菜。

伊迪丝：好吧。只要他们不往里面塞洋葱。

崔莎：相信我，你会喜欢的！
