中國人會怎么處理在餐館吃飯的剩飯剩菜

今天的這段對話，在談論打包剩菜，

中國人會怎么處理在餐館吃飯的剩飯剩菜

來聽今天的講解:

A:  Morgan, can I ask you a question?

摩根,我可以問你一個問題嗎?

B:  sure, what is it?

當然可以,什么事?

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

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.

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

中國大多數(shù)城市的人都很少打包的.

A:  what happen to all the leftover food?

那剩飯剩菜怎么處理呢?

B:  it usually goes to the dump.

一般就倒掉了.

A:  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?

那可太浪費了!大家為什么不少點一些菜呢,這樣就可以避免吃完飯后剩下太多了.

B:  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.

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

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

你這么解釋我就明白了.我只是覺得把剩菜打包會更好.

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

嗯,如果你愿意,你就打包帶回去吧.

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

不用,沒關系的.你知道俗話說的好:入鄉(xiāng)…(隨俗)

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

你敢吃豬蹄我很驚訝.我聽說很多外國人都不愛吃這個.

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

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.

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

你覺得好吃嗎?你可以把最后一個帶回家.

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

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.
