J: Morgan, can I ask you a question?

M: sure, what is it?

J: I was just wondering if many Chinese people take their leftover food home from a restaurant.

M: in most cities in China, doogie bags are quite uncommon.

J: what happen to all the leftover food?

M: it usually goes to the dump.

J: that seems like an awful waste! Why don't people order fewer dishes so that they don't have to throw so much away at the end of the meal?

M: ordering a lot of food at restaurants is just a tradition in China. You know, in the past, people could not afford to eat out like they can today.

J: I guess that makes sense. I just think it would make more sense to take the leftovers home.

M: well, if you want, you can take the leftovers home.

J: no, that's OK. You know what they say:when in Rome…

M: I was impressed that you tried the pig's feet. I heard that many foreigners don't like to eat them.

J: many people in my generation don't eat pig's feet, but my parents grew up eating them, so I think they are OK.

M: did you like them? You could take the last one home with you.

J: that's OK. I'll try anything once, but sometimes, once is enough!

摩根,我可以問你一個問題嗎?

當(dāng)然可以,什么事?

我想知道中國人在飯館吃完飯之后,會不會把沒吃完的東西打包帶回家.

中國大多數(shù)城市的人都很少打包的.

那剩飯剩菜怎么處理呢?

一般就倒掉了.

那可太浪費(fèi)了!大家為什么不少點(diǎn)一些菜呢,這樣就可以避免吃完飯后剩下太多了.

在飯館吃飯點(diǎn)很多菜是中國人的一項(xiàng)傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣.要知道,過去人們可不像現(xiàn)在這樣什么都能吃得起.

你這么解釋我就明白了.我只是覺得把剩菜打包會更好.

嗯,如果你愿意,你就打包帶回去吧.

不用,沒關(guān)系的.你知道俗話說的好:入鄉(xiāng)…(隨俗)

你敢吃豬蹄我很驚訝.我聽說很多外國人都不愛吃這個.

我這一代的人不怎么吃豬蹄,不過,我父母他們小時候常吃,所以我覺得吃這個也無所謂.

你覺得好吃嗎?你可以把最后一個帶回家.

還行.我一般什么東西都會嘗嘗,不過,有的東西吃一次就足夠了.
