A:So where is this mystery restaurant that we are going to?那個我們要去的神秘的餐廳在哪兒?
B:It' s an Indian restaurant! I know you have never had Indian food, so I thought you might want to try.那是個印度餐館!我知道你沒有吃過印度的食物,所以我想也許你會想嘗試一下。
A:That sounds great! I am craving some type of beef dish.聽起來不錯!我想吃牛肉菜。
B:Well, Indian cuisine actually doesn' t serve beef. You see, cows are a sacred animal, a very important element in the Hindu religion, so beef is not eaten.嗯,事實上印度菜譜里沒有牛肉。你知道的,奶牛是一種很神圣的動物,在印度教里是很重要的東西,因此牛肉是不能吃的。
A:I see, so what are we having? Chicken?我知道了,所以我們可以吃什么呢?雞肉嗎?
B:There are many amazing dishes to choose from. We can have some chicken tikka masala which is an amazing curry. It' s a bit spicy, but I think you can handle it.這里有很多美味可以選擇。我們有雞肉味的小塊香料做成的很棒的咖喱。有點辛辣,不過我覺得你能吃的。
A:Sounds good! I have always heard that Indian spices give a rich flavor to food.很好!我聽說印度的香料讓食物味道變得很豐富。
B:Yeah. Also, we can have some Naan bread which is baked in a tandoori oven. Since you don' t use any utensils to eat, you can use this bread to scoop up the curry or rice.是的。我們還有些在泥爐炭火鍋里制作的印度薄餅。你可以用面包來盛咖喱粉和米飯而省去了器皿。
A:What about veggies?那素食者呢?
B:They have a good variety of vegetable-based dishes like palak paneer, vegetable samosas or daal.他們有各種各樣的以蔬菜為主的菜肴,比如菠菜芝士,蔬菜三角包。
A:It all sounds exquisite! I can' t wait!聽上去它們都很美味啊!我等不及想去了!
