A：How do you like the food sold in this sidewalk snack booth?

你覺(jué)得大排檔里賣(mài)的東西好吃嗎?

B：At least, it is better than my boxed lunch at work. I'm so fed up with the bland food. Thank you for having lunch with me!

至少，它比我們公司吃的盒飯好吃。我受夠了那些乏味的食物了。謝謝你陪我吃午飯。

A：Any time. But I don't mind eating boxed lunch. The food sanitation is really good too.

我很樂(lè)意啊。但是我倒是不介意吃盒飯。那些食物的衛(wèi)生也很不錯(cuò)。

B：It's hard to believe that you like it. You are so easy to be satisfied.

真難以相信你會(huì)喜歡。你也太容易滿(mǎn)足了吧。

A：Hey, it's not that bad. The food is nutritious and it's really convenient. I don't want to spend too much time on eating stuff.

嗨，沒(méi)有那么差吧。那些食物營(yíng)養(yǎng)而且非常方便。我可不想花太多的時(shí)間在吃飯上。

B：Eating is important. You are what you eat. It's not only a daily routine.

吃是很重要的。吃什么樣的東西代表你是什么樣的人。它可不只是每天的例行公事哦。

A：Well, will you just go back to work after lunch?

還有，你吃完飯之后會(huì)直接回去工作嗎?

B：No. I'm going to pay the bill for the company's lunch.

不，我得去把公司的工作午餐的賬結(jié)了。

A：But you didn't eat anything today.

但是你今天什么都沒(méi)有吃啊。

B：Well, the bill is paid by month. That's probably the only thing that I like about a take-out restaurant.

這個(gè)啊，賬單是月結(jié)的。這可能是外賣(mài)讓我喜歡的唯一一點(diǎn)。

A：All right. I'm going to the McDonald's.

好吧。我要去一趟麥當(dāng)勞。

B：For what? I thought you didn't like western food.

去做什么?我原以為你不喜歡西餐的。

A：No, I never did. It's for my son. He loves it, and I made an agreement with him that he can eat it once a week.

沒(méi)錯(cuò)，我從來(lái)都不喜歡。是給我兒子的。他最喜歡了。我跟他約定每周只吃一次。

B：That's really smart. My son Daniel is the same with your son. I just don't get it, why all the kids prefer western food to traditional food.

這是個(gè)聰明的做法。我兒子丹尼爾也和你兒子一樣。我就是不明白，為什么孩子們都喜歡西方的食品而不喜歡傳統(tǒng)食物呢?

A：Me, either. But, it's for sure that the children market is a really big one.

我也不明白?？墒牵梢源_定的是兒童市場(chǎng)是一個(gè)非常大的市場(chǎng)。

B：That's for sure. It's always hard for the parents to say no to their children.

肯定的啊。讓父母對(duì)他們的孩子說(shuō)不總是很難的。
