地道美語聽力播客527:家庭聚餐 Eating a Family Dinner
我的室友吉姆邀請我去參加他們的家庭聚餐。我還只是個孩子，還不習慣這種大家庭式的聚餐。我覺得自己好似魚兒像離開了水一樣渾身不自在。
Jim’s mother: Sit down, everybody. Dinner’s ready.
吉姆的媽媽：大家都坐好，晚飯開始了。
Phil: Thank you for having me over, Mrs. Moreno.
菲爾：莫雷諾夫人，謝謝你邀我吃飯。
Jim’s mother: Don’t mention it. Just sit down and eat. Jim, pass the potatoes, and Dana,don’t hog the peas. Hand them both to Phil.
吉姆的媽媽：不客氣?？熳鲁燥垺＜?，把土豆傳一下。還有戴安娜，別霸占著豌豆。把它們傳給菲爾。
Phil: Thank you, Mrs. Moreno, but I’ve already taken a helping of each dish.
菲爾：謝謝你，莫雷諾夫人。每道菜我都取了一點。
Jim’s mother: Then you need to have seconds. You’re too skinny. Eat up!
吉姆的媽媽：吃完這一份，你還有第二份呢。你太瘦了。把這些都吃完。
Phil: This food is really good, but I don’t think I have the appetite for more. My plate is alreadyoverloaded.
菲爾：這些菜真好吃。但我真吃不動了。我的盤子盛得太滿了。
Jim’s mother: All right, no more potatoes or peas, but you need more ham. Laura, serve Philsome more ham, and Jason, round up some more rolls.
吉姆的媽媽：好吧。那就別吃土豆或豌豆了，但你要多吃點火腿。勞拉，多給菲爾一些火腿。賈森，再給菲爾一些面包卷。
Phil: No, no, please. I really couldn’t eat more than what’s already on my plate.
菲爾：不用了，不用了，真的不用了。等我把盤子里的吃完，就真地吃不動了。
Jim’s mother: Don’t be ridiculous. I know you’re saving room for dessert. There’s an applepie, a strawberry shortcake, a cheesecake, and some ice cream.
吉姆的母親：別瞎說。我知道你是留著肚子等著吃甜點呢。這還有蘋果派、草莓酥餅、芝士蛋糕和冰淇淋。
I now know why Jim only comes home for meals every once in a while. Eating like this more thanonce a week would give anybody a coronary!
我現在終于知道為什么吉姆只是偶爾才回家吃飯了。像這樣的吃法，任憑是誰，一個星期超過一次，他的冠狀動脈也很會吃出毛病來的!
