英语PK台 第534期:西餐点菜篇(1)点披萨

 　　Dialogue 1

　　Jingjing: You've been here before, right?
　　京晶：你以前来过这儿吧？
　　Mark: Lots of times. I used 1 to live near here. It was my home away from home.
　　马克：来过好多次了。我过去就住这附近。这地方对我来说就跟家一样。
　　Jingjing: What do you think we should order?
　　京晶：你觉得我们应该点些什么吃呢？
　　Mark: Well, pizza, for sure. They have three sizes.
　　马克：当然是披萨了。他们这儿有三种尺寸的。
　　Jingjing: We could order two of the smaller ones. That way, we could get two different kinds of pizza.
　　京晶：我们可以点两个小份的。这样的话，我们就能吃到两款披萨。
　　Mark: It's a better deal to get one medium. It's about the same total price. But you end up with more pizza.
　　马克：点一个中份的更好。总价都差不多，而且中份的分量还更多。
　　Jingjing: If you've run the numbers, I'll take your word for it. But I don't want to get stuck with a whole lot of one kind of pizza.
　　京晶：如果你计算过了，那我就相信你吧。不过我不想就光吃那么一种披萨。
　　Mark: In the menu, it says we can go half and half. The sauce 2 has to be the same, though.
　　马克：菜单上说，我们可以做成两个不同的一半，不过酱料必须得是用同一款。
　　Jingjing: So, let's get half with loads 3 of meat, and half with some choice vegetables.
　　京晶：那就让我们来一款一半肉多的，一半自选菜的吧。
　　Mark: Is there anything we should keep off the pizza?
　　京晶：有什么是我们不放在披萨里的吗？
　　Jingjing: I'd rather not have seafood 4, or anything sweet.
　　京晶：我宁愿不要海鲜，或者任何甜的东西。
　　Mark: Same with me. What about mushrooms 5?
　　马克：我也一样。那蘑菇呢？
　　Jingjing: If we can stay away from mushrooms, that'd be better.
　　京晶：如果我们可以不放蘑菇，那更好。
　　Mark: OK. How about half of this and half of that?
　　马克：好，要不这个放一半那个放一半怎么样？
　　Jingjing: Great. We're all set.
　　京晶：行，妥了。

　　马克：真好我们这就把披萨点好了。其他你还有什么想要点的吗？——沙拉，汤，鸡翅？
　　Jingjing: I can't really decide.

　　Mark: Let me grab 8 another menu so you can keep looking.

　　马克：这里的沙拉也还行。还行，我的意思是说一般般吧，一般般，我的意思其实是说不值得点啦。
　　Jingjing: Uh, o-kay—oh, is that our pizza already?
　　京晶：额，那好吧。那是我们的披萨好了吗？
　　Mark: He's coming toward 10 us—oh, fake 11 out! It was for the people at the next table.
　　马克：他正向我们这一桌走过来呢。噢！假象！这是隔壁桌的菜。
　　Jingjing: Wow, that's a huge pizza. Is that the size we ordered?
　　京晶：哇哦，好大的一个披萨啊！这是我们点的那个尺寸吗？
　　Mark: That's the large. But the medium is more than enough for the two of us.
　　马克：那是个大份的。中份的对咱俩来说已经足够了。
