　　Mark: The food was a complete rip 2 off. I paid $34 for a hamburger and a side of fries. (On top of that, the food was cold and the service was lousy.)
　　马克：那里的食物贵得离谱。我付了34美元就买了一个汉堡包和配的薯条。（最重要的是，食物还是冷的，服务也很糟糕。）
　　Jingjing: Thanks for the info. I guess we'll have to try another place then. Come on, let's go take a walk and see what's new.

　　Jingjing: You know, we still haven't found a good Italian restaurant in this neighborhood.
　　京晶：你知道吗，我们仍然没有在这附近找到一家不错的意大利菜餐厅。
　　Mark: Well, there is one, but I found it to be rather pricey. Actually, that's it, just across the street. Wanna go over and take a look?
　　马克：这附近有一家，但是我觉得他家颇有些小贵。事实上，就在那儿，街对面。想过去看看吗？
　　Jingjing: Sure. What a cute little place. Hey, there's a menu posted at the door. ...And the prices are not too bad.
　　京晶：行。真是个可爱的小地方。哈，门口就放着菜单呢……嗯，价格还不错。
　　Mark: Yeah, for each item, it's within reason. When I ate here, I had to order three main dishes, because each one is pretty small. You kinda have to go all out.
　　马克：是的，每道菜价格还是合理的（不过分）。我上次在这儿吃的时候，我必须得点三个主菜，因为每份分量都挺少的。你差不多得必须放点血。
　　Jingjing: You mean just a pasta dish wouldn't be enough for one person?
　　京晶：你是说一份意大利面食不够一人吃吗？
　　Mark: Not even close. You'd feel embarrassed ordering so little, and nowhere near full afterward 7.
　　马克：远远不够。点这么一小份你也会觉得挺尴尬的。吃完以后一点都不饱。
　　Jingjing: Hey, the tiramisu is about the same price as anywhere else.
　　京晶：嘿，提拉米苏的价格好像和别地儿都差不多呢。
