用英文聊美食 聊天必備Talking About Food In English
服務生A:先生午安,請問需要點些甚麼呢?
Waiter A: Good afternoon sir. What would you like to order?
客人B:我是第一次到美國來玩,想嘗嘗看道地的美國食物,請問有甚麼好推薦的嗎?
Customer B: It’s my first time in America. I want to try some typical American food. What do you recommend?
服務生A:烤豬肋排是美式燒烤飲食的精華,最具代錶性的就是「紐奧良碳烤豬肋排」。其中一種叫做Cajun的調味粉是以十多種香料混閤而成,其特殊的風味不僅是美國人的最愛,也受到吃重口味的亞洲人所喜愛喔。
Waiter A: Roasted pork ribs are the quintessence of American BBQ cuisine, and "New Orleans style pork roast" is the most representative. It adds a special flavor known as "Cajun cause," which is a mixture of more than ten spices. It is not only Americans' favorite, but also attracts Asians who enjoy heavy taste.
客人B:聽起來很棒,不過現在還沒到中午,我怕光吃肉類難以消化。
Customer B: Sounds great, but it's not lunch time yet. I'm afraid that if I just eat meat, it will cause me an indigestion.
服務生A:那真是太可惜瞭,不然我還想推薦您品嘗美國人最愛的肉類料理--牛排呢! 那麼您覺得漢堡如何呢? 一般美式漢堡除瞭漢堡排(Hamburger steak)以外,還可以改成魚排、雞排或豬排等,也可以搭配不同的配料和調味料,讓口感更豐富、更美味。
Waiter A: What a pity, or else I'd recommend you American's favorite meat cuisine, steaks! Would you like to have a burger then? In general, American style burgers, except for hamburger steaks, can be switched to fish, chicken, pork, etc.. We can also put other ingredients or sauces into the burger, making it rich and tasty.
客人B:我聽說來到美國南部一定要吃當地的美式炸雞,不過炸雞和漢堡在颱灣的速食店就吃的到瞭,我想吃一些比較少見的特色料理。
Customer B: I heard that if I come to southern America, I should try the local fried chickens. Since there are already fried chickens and burgers at fast food restaurants in Taiwan, I would like to try something rare and special.
