Ryan: It’s really nice of you to make dinner for me. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a home-cooked meal.
你為我做晚餐,你真是太好了。從我上次做家里做的菜已經(jīng)有很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間了。
Corrie: I’m happy to do it. First, though, let’s see what you have in your fridge.
我很高興為你做晚飯。首先,我們來(lái)看看冰箱里有什么食物。
Ryan: I have tons of food in there.
冰箱里有很多食物。
Corrie: What is that? It looks moldy.
這是什么?看起來(lái)發(fā)霉了。
Ryan: Oh, that’s cheese. I’m sure it’s still good, if we just cut off the moldy parts.
哦,那是奶酪。如果我們只是切掉發(fā)霉的部分,我敢肯定奶酪還能吃。
Corrie: Okay, but look at the “best if used by” date. This expired three months ago. Whatabout this?
好吧,看看食物保質(zhì)期。3個(gè)月前就過(guò)期了。這是什么?
Ryan: That’s hamburger. Maybe you could make some spaghetti with meatballs.
這是漢堡包。也許你可以用肉丸子做一些意大利面條。
Corrie: Not with this rotten meat. It’s definitely gone bad. Can’t you tell by the discoloration?Meat isn’t supposed to be gray.
用這個(gè)爛肉不行。肉肯定是壞了。從顏色上你看不出來(lái)嗎?肉不應(yīng)該是灰色的。
Ryan: I guess you’re right. I bet this milk isn’t any good either, is it?
我想你說(shuō)得對(duì)。我敢打賭,這牛奶也不新鮮了,是嗎?
Corrie: Nope. It’s gone sour, and you might as well throw out this bread, too. It’s stale.
是的。奶已經(jīng)變酸了,這個(gè)面包你也可以扔了,時(shí)間太長(zhǎng)了。
Ryan: Isn’t there anything you can use in this kitchen?
廚房里難倒沒(méi)有可用的食物了嗎?
Corrie: Well, this oil is rancid, this butter looks tainted, the vegetables are wilted, and evenyour canned goods are rusted. You do have a lot of food in your kitchen, but it’s been here along, long time.
油已經(jīng)發(fā)臭了,黃油看上去已經(jīng)變質(zhì)了,蔬菜都枯萎了,甚至你的罐頭食品都生銹了。廚房里確實(shí)有很多食物,但食物都已經(jīng)放了很長(zhǎng),很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間了。
Ryan: I don’t like things to go to waste.
我不喜歡浪費(fèi)東西。
Corrie: I guess not. I’m still willing to make you dinner, but we’ll have to do some shopping.My cooking isn’t the best, but I don’t usually give people food poisoning, and I don’t want tostart now.
我想你不會(huì)。我還是愿意給你做飯,但我們必須去買(mǎi)些東西。我的廚藝是不是最好的,但我通常不會(huì)讓別人吃了會(huì)食物中毒,更不想從現(xiàn)在就開(kāi)始。
Ryan: Okay, okay, give me a list and I’ll go to the market.
好吧,好吧,給我一個(gè)清單,我會(huì)去市場(chǎng)買(mǎi)。
Corrie: And while you’re there, I’ll see what I can do about getting rid of all of this hazardouswaste!
既然你在這里,我去看看能把哪些變質(zhì)的東西扔掉!
