托德:鹅肝酱吗?
Raphael: Yeah, the liver! That's it. The liver, and it's cooked an official 3 way and you can have it both like cold or hot, I mean, any kind, but the point is, the duck has to be fed in nature, right! It's not working if it's in a, industrial 4 feeding duck
拉斐尔:对,鹅肝酱!就是这个。鹅肝酱,是以正式方式烹饪的,可以冷制,也可以温热吃,我的意思是,可以以各种方式做,不过重点是鹅必须要以自然方式喂养,没错!如果是以工业方式喂养的鹅,那是不行的。
Todd: Oh, really!
托德:哦,真的吗?
Raphael: It doesn't produce really good foie gras, yeah!
拉斐尔:这样是做不出真正好的鹅肝酱的,没错!
Todd: So the duck must come from nature?
托德:那鹅必须来自自然吗?
Raphael: Yeah, actually, that's why this place is famous for because it's countryside. There's no really big cities and most of the people are farmers so they actually produce some really good foie gras, like I heard the competition comes from East Europe now but they make more like industrial foie gras. It's a little different, but anyway, that's the place I'm born.
拉斐尔:对,实际上,这就是这个地方著名的原因,因为它是乡村。那里没有大的城市,大部分人都是农民,所以他们会生产出真正好的鹅肝酱,我听说现在东欧的竞争对手很强,但是他们大多数都是用工业方式生产鹅肝酱。这是有些不同的,不过不管怎样,那是我出生的地方。

Todd: OK, so Bordeaux is known 6 for wine.
托德:好,波尔多以葡萄酒闻名。
Raphael: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
拉斐尔:对,对,没错!
Todd: So, is it near the mountains or?
托德:那里临近山区还是?
Raphael: It's not that close to Spain. It's, how can I say, yeah, it's not the extremity 7 of France, it's more like center-south, you know.
拉斐尔:那里离西班牙不是很近。我要怎么说呢,那并不是法国的南端,更像是中南部,你知道的。
Todd: Oh, OK. Sounds like a pretty place though.
托德:哦,好,听起来是一个很漂亮的地方。

Raphael: Yeah, yeah, it's quite nice. It's quite nice. I mean, it's countryside right. You have to like it. There's not a lot of things to do, but, I spend like my, from fifteen years old, I live there and then I moved to another city called La Rochelle, which is close to the sea, just in front of the sea actually, and that's a better place. I like it much.
