生活英語口語:我現(xiàn)在開始吃素了…

W: would you like to come over for dinner tonight?

A: sure, but I have to tell you that I've become a vegetarian. I don't eat any kind of meat.

W: when did you decide to become a vegetarian?

A: I saw a program a few months ago about how animals are raised for human consumption. I haven't been able to eat a single piece of meat since.

W: that's great. Do you find that you eat a lot more fruit and vegetables now?

A: definitely. I've also been buying organic fruit and vegetables, which is more expensive, but much better for you because they don't have any pesticides on them.

W: you've really turned into a health nut, haven't you?

A: I guess you could say that. Eating fruit and vegetables helps keep you healthy. I've lost 5 pounds and I feel great!

W: how do you get enough protein in your diet?

A: well, I eat a lot more tofu, beans, nuts and some fish.

W: well, don't worry about dinner. I'll only make vegetarian dished for you. Do you like sushi?

A: I prefer cooked fish to raw fish, but if you really like it, make it.

W: how about a spicy sofu and vegatable stir-fry?

A: that sounds great. What time should I come over?

W: dinner will be ready at about 7:30 pm, so you can come over at 7 pm.

A: sounds good. See you there!

你今晚過來吃晚飯嗎?

好啊，但是我得告訴你我現(xiàn)在開始吃素了。我不吃任何肉類食品。

你什么時候決定開始吃素的?

幾個月前我看了一個節(jié)目講的是為了向人們供應(yīng)肉食，動物們是如何被飼養(yǎng)的。在那以后我再也吃不下一片肉了.

這太好了。你有沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)你現(xiàn)在吃的水果和蔬菜都比以前多了?

一點沒錯。而且我現(xiàn)在開始買有機(jī)水果和蔬菜了，雖然價格貴了不少，但是對你的健康要好得多，因為上面沒有農(nóng)藥。

你真是開始變成一個保養(yǎng)迷了，是吧?

我想你說對了。吃水果和蔬菜有助于保證身體健康。我已經(jīng)減掉了5磅，感覺真是好極了。

那你怎么保證飲食中的營養(yǎng)呢?

嗯，我會吃更多的豆腐，豆類，堅果和魚。

不用擔(dān)心晚飯的事。我會專門為你制作素食的。你喜歡吃壽司嗎?

我比較喜歡吃做熟的魚而不是生魚，不過如果你真的喜歡的話，就做吧。

辣豆腐炒青菜怎么樣?

聽起來好極了。我?guī)c過去合適?

晚飯7點30做好，你可以7點鐘過來。

好的。到時候見。
