地道美语听力练习:检测肉的成熟度

Chris:How do you like your steak?

Ruth:Well done. I don't like any pink showing and I don't mind if it's a little charred.

Chris:I'll cook it the way you want it, but it'll be dry and tough.

Ruth:Yes, but a longer cooking time kills food borne illnesses.

I don't want to eat anything that's undercooked.

Chris:It doesn't have to be burnt to be safe to eat.

It's easy to gauge when meat is done.

How about if I brown each side to seal in the juices and then cook it to medium doneness?

Ruth:No, I don't want to take any chances.

I'd rather the steak is overcooked than undercooked.

Are you going to eat that?

Chris:Yes, I like my steak juicy.

Ruth:But that's raw!

Chris:No, it's cooked rare, not raw.

I'll cut into it so you can see that it's cooked.

Ruth:It's oozing red! That is definitely not cooked.

Chris:I'll prove it to you.

I'll eat this piece and live to tell about it.

Ruth:Don't put that in your mouth! You're risking your health.

Chris:I think I'll survive.
