地道美语听力练习:成为素食者问题多

Ashley:I'm thinking of becoming a vegetarian.

I think it would be the ethical thing to do.

Paul:Are you going to eat eggs and dairy?

If you're doing this for ethical reasons,you really should avoid anything made with animal products or animal by-products.

Ashley:I guess you're right.

Paul:Then you're going to be a vegan.

You won't be able to eat any milk, butter, cheese, or yogurt.

Ashley:Really?

I guess I'll have to be a vegan then.

Paul:You'll have to eat a varied diet so you don't have a vitamin deficiency.

Ashley:Yes, I'll have to guard against that.

Paul:Are you going to avoid buying things that are animal-derived, too? Like leather shoes and belts?

Ashley:I hadn't thought of that.I suppose I should.

Paul:Are you having second thoughts?

Ashley:No, I just didn't know there would be so many restrictions.

Paul:Just be glad you didn't choose to become a fruitarian.

Ashley:What's that?

Paul:You don't want to know.
