纯正地道美语(外教讲解)330:带什么酒去赴餐好?(在线收听

  Salesperson : Hello there, welcome to Wine World. Let me know if I can help you out at all.
  你好,欢迎来到酒的世界。有什么可以帮助的吗?
  Customer : Um, yes, please, I could really use some help. I'm going over to my boss'house for dinner tonight and don't know what kind of wine I should bring.
  嗯,是的,确实需要你的帮助。今晚我要去老板家里做客,但是不知道带什么酒比较合适。
  Salesperson : OK, do you know what kind of food will be served?
  好的,你知道你的老板会招待你们喝什么吗?
  Customer : Well, his wife is Japanese. He said she makes really good sushi.
  嗯,他的妻子是日本人。他说她做的寿司很好吃。
  Salesperson : Hmm, that's a bit of a challenge. Sushi is notoriously difficult to pair with wine. Well, let's see. have to be a white wine, of course.
  嗯,那会有点挑战。众所周知寿司很难和酒搭配。嗯,让我想想,当然必定是白酒。
  Customer : Why? Wouldn't a red wine go well with sushi?
  为什么?没有红酒可以和寿司搭配的吗?
  Salesperson : No, I don't think so. Sushi is a very delicately flavored food, and red wine would be a jarring contrast. You need a white wine, which has more subtle flavors, to complement the fish.
  不,我不认为。寿司是调味精致的食物,红酒会和它构成强烈的对比。你需要一点白酒,和鱼搭配起来味道会很好。
  Customer : I see. So should I get a bottle of Chardonnay? That's a white wine, right?
  我知道了。我应该买一瓶雪当利,那是白酒,对吗?
  Salesperson : Yes, Chardonnay is a white wine, but I'm not sure it'd be your best bet. Chardonnay is one of the more fullbodied whites, and tends to be a bit oaky. I'd suggest that you go for something brighter, like this Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.
  是的,雪当利是一种浓烈的酒,还行吧。我建议你买一些淡一些,比如来自新西兰的白苏维浓。
  Customer : Sauvignon Blanc? What's that?
  白苏维浓,那是什么?
  Salesperson : That's another varietal, or type of grape, just like Chardonnay.
  那是用一种葡萄酿制的葡萄酒,葡萄酒的一种,就像雪当利。
  Customer : Let's see. The label says it's got "attractive citrus and grassy aromas that give way to crisp, mineral flavors and a bonedry finish. Serve chilled." Oh, no, how long will it take to chill the wine? I'm on my way to the dinner now.
  让我看看,标签上写着有具有魔力柑橘和甘草香气,非常松脆的,有矿物的味道,并且是全干的,适宜冰镇后食用。
  Salesperson : It's OK, don't worry, we'll just choose a wine from the cooler. We don't have quite as extensive a selection over here, but...this Rhone Valley white would be lovely.
  好的,不用担心,我们只是从冰箱里面选择一瓶酒。我们没有很多的选择,但是……罗纳河白酒很不错。
  Customer : All right. What varietal is that?
  好吧,是用什么酿成的?
  Salesperson : Well, this is a French wine, so they don't always specify the varietal on the label. The French believe that the soil a grape is grown in is one of the most important factors in the final flavor of the wine. This wine is probably a blend of a few different types of grapes, mostly Viognier, I'd guess.
  嗯,这是法国酒,因此他们不明确地标注是由什么酒酿造的。法国人认为葡萄生长的土地是酒最终味道的最重要因素之一。这种酒是不同葡萄在一起酿成的,我觉得最多的是维欧尼。
  Customer : And you think this is a good wine?
  你觉得这是好酒吗?
  Salesperson : Yes, this is one of our best-sellers.  It's not quite as dry as the Sauvignon Blanc we were looking at earlier, which means it's more approachable.   It's light and crisp, with a bit of a vanilla aroma.
  是的,这是最畅销的就。它不像我们之前看到的索维农葡萄那样那么干,它更加容易入口。它又轻又脆,带有一点香草的香气。
  Customer : Perfect! I'll take it!
  太好了!我就买这个了!
