经典背诵 Recitation
Waitress: I'm a waitress in a special restaurant. We serve “chocolate hot pot” which is becoming popular among young girls. They love it so much. They always believe that one piece of chocolate can cheer then up. But they also think it's suicidal to eat too much chocolate. You know, calories!


生词小结
hot pot 火锅


throw vt. 扔


delicate adj.精美的


colorful adj. 色彩丰富的


resist vt. 抵挡


suicide n. 自杀


注释
1.I can eat a horse.


我能吃下一匹马。能吃下一匹马,可见饿的程度之大,很容易想到这是表示“太饿了”。中文中也与相似的表达:“我饿得能吃下一头牛。”有趣的是,中国人饿了选择吃牛,外国人选择吃马。


2.chocolate hot pot


巧克力火锅,与中国火锅的不同在于,它的汤底一般是液态的巧克力和奶酪等,而各式菜品则代之为各式甜点。巧克力火锅受年轻情侣喜欢,不过由于卡路里太高,令很多女孩子望而止步。


3.Chocolate is something to die for!


意思是我愿意为巧克力而死。这是夸张的表达方式,表示了对巧克力的极大喜欢,口语中很常见。如果一个男孩喜欢女孩,他可以说:“She is to die for.”意思为:她值得我为她而死。
