B: I was worried you would think it was too far to drive.

A: Well, it's true I've never driven two hours just to get lunch.But really, I think it's worth it.

 

這倒是真的，我從未開過兩個小時的車子，只是為了吃頓午餐。但是不錯，我覺得很值得。

 

B: I think if you try some more authentic Chinese food,you might understand how we students from Taiwan suffer.

 

如果你再吃些地道的中國菜，你就會了解我們臺灣學生所遭受的了。

 

A: How do you mean "suffer"?

 

你說“遭受”是什么意思？

 

B: I mean, in Milwaukee there is no good Chinese food.So we miss the food in Taiwan too much.Sometimes we just have to drive down here to Chicago to find something better.

 

在密爾瓦基市都沒有好吃的中國菜，所我們很懷念臺灣的食物。有時候我們只好開車下來芝加哥找些好吃的東西。

 

A: Even in the winter?

 

連冬天都這樣嗎？

 

B: Yes, even in the winter.

 

是的，甚至在冬天也是這樣。

 

A: And even if it takes two hours, huh?

 

而且甚至要花兩個小時,是嗎?

 

B: Why not? I've been craving good food for three weeks now.I'm too sick of hamburgers and pizza!

 

有何不可呢？我已經(jīng)渴望美食三個星期了。我受夠了漢堡包和比薩。

 

A: Well, this really is delicious, I have to admit.I can understand better now why you and your friends are always whining.

 

這真的很好吃，我必須承認?，F(xiàn)在我比較能夠了解為什么你和你的朋友總是在抱怨。

 

B: Don't tease me! Good food is really important to Chinese!

 

別取笑我了！美食對中國人來說是很重要的。

 

A: I know. I can see that. This is what is called "dim sum," right?

 

我知道，看得出來。這就是“點心”對不對？

 

B: Yes, all these dishes are different "dim sum" dishes.You can't find this kind of thing except for in a few cities in America.

 

是的，這些菜肴都是不同的點心。在美國除了少數(shù)幾個城市，你找不到這類食物的。

 

A: So when you Chinese think of Chinatown,you mostly think of food. Is that right?

 

所以當你們中國人想到中國城，幾乎都想到吃的，對不對？

 

B: Of course.I will try to buy some things at the Asian grocery down the block too.Then I can do a little cooking in my apartment.

 

當然。我還要在下一條街的亞洲雜貨店買些東西。那么我就可以在自己的公寓煮些東西。

 

A: And maybe we can go to a good Italian restaurant for dinner, after the museum.Chicago has some great Italian restaurants.

 

也許參觀完博物館，我們可以去意大利餐廳吃晚餐。芝加哥有一些很棒的意大利餐廳。

B: No, dim sum is usually eaten around lunch time,or sometimes closer to breakfast.We'll try more Taiwanese style up at the "new" Chinatown.

 

不是。點心通常是午餐吃的，有時候更接近早餐的時間。我們要在新中國城多吃些臺灣菜。

 

A: Taiwanese style? Isn't dim sum Taiwanese style?

 

臺灣菜？點心不是臺灣菜嗎？

 

B: No, dim sum is more Cantonese style.But of course you can buy it in Taiwan.

 

不是，點心比較像是廣東菜。當然在臺灣也買得到。

 

A: I wonder if you can cook things this good.

 

我在想，你能煮得這么好吃嗎？

 

B: I'm a great cook actually. You will see.
