A：Hello there, welcome to Wine World. Let me know if I can help you out at all.你好，歡迎來(lái)到酒的世界。有什么可以幫助的嗎?

B：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，確實(shí)需要你的幫助。今晚我要去老板家里做客，但是不知道帶什么酒比較合適。

A：OK, do you know what kind of food will be served?好的，你知道你的老板會(huì)招待你們喝什么嗎?

B：Well, his wife is Japanese. He said she makes really good sushi.嗯，他的妻子是日本人。他說(shuō)她做的壽司很好吃。

A：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，那會(huì)有點(diǎn)挑戰(zhàn)。眾所周知壽司很難和酒搭配。嗯，讓我想想，當(dāng)然必定是白酒。

B：Why? Wouldn't a red wine go well with sushi?為什么?沒(méi)有紅酒可以和壽司搭配的嗎?

A：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，我不認(rèn)為。壽司是調(diào)味精致的食物，紅酒會(huì)和它構(gòu)成強(qiáng)烈的對(duì)比。你需要一點(diǎn)白酒，和魚(yú)搭配起來(lái)味道會(huì)很好。

B：I see. So should I get a bottle of Chardonnay? That's a white wine, right?我知道了。我應(yīng)該買一瓶雪當(dāng)利，那是白酒，對(duì)嗎?

A：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，雪當(dāng)利是一種濃烈的酒，還行吧。我建議你買一些淡一些，比如來(lái)自新西蘭的白蘇維濃。

B：Sauvignon Blanc? What's that?白蘇維濃，那是什么?

A：That's another varietal, or type of grape, just like Chardonnay.那是用一種葡萄釀制的葡萄酒，葡萄酒的一種，就像雪當(dāng)利。

B：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.讓我看看，標(biāo)簽上寫(xiě)著有具有魔力柑橘和甘草香氣，非常松脆的，有礦物的味道，并且是全干的，適宜冰鎮(zhèn)后食用。

A：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，不用擔(dān)心，我們只是從冰箱里面選擇一瓶酒。我們沒(méi)有很多的選擇，但是……羅納河白酒很不錯(cuò)。

B：All right. What varietal is that?好吧，是用什么釀成的?

A：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，這是法國(guó)酒，因此他們不明確地標(biāo)注是由什么酒釀造的。法國(guó)人認(rèn)為葡萄生長(zhǎng)的土地是酒最終味道的最重要因素之一。這種酒是不同葡萄在一起釀成的，我覺(jué)得最多的是維歐尼。

B：And you think this is a good wine?你覺(jué)得這是好酒嗎?

A：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，這是最暢銷的酒。它不像我們之前看到的索維農(nóng)葡萄那樣那么干，它更加容易入口。它又輕又脆，帶有一點(diǎn)香草的香氣。

B：Perfect! I'll take it!太好了!我就買這個(gè)了!
