Daniel: Girls always like these Japanese-style hair clips.

May: They are cute, most importantly, inexpensive.

Daniel: Anyway, I need to get myself some late supper. I'm starving.

May: How about “stinky tofu”?

Daniel: Stinky tofu? What's that? It sounds strange.

May: It's a famous Hunan snack. And it's very popular in Beijing. Would you like to have a try?

Daniel: I'll think about it. Anything else?

May: Grilled corn, glutinous dumplings, fried peanuts, and bean curd jelly. Good enough?

Daniel: I prefer fried peanuts. I like peanuts very much. By the way, is that healthy? Mom always tells us not to eat outside, because they often use the recycled oil.

May: Don't consider too much about it. You said you were very hungry, so you can't do anything else but to eat.

Daniel: I prefer not. I'll eat when I'm back home. By the way, do all the stinky tofu vendors come from Hunan?

May: Not exactly. Actually, people learn the making process from the native residents.

Daniel: Got it. Are there any other regional snacks here?

May: Of course. For example, Sichuan, Fujian, Guangzhou. Their snacks are also very famous.

Daniel: Are there any Beijing snacks?

May: Of course. Look, it is over there.

听看学

丹尼尔：女孩子都喜欢这些日本风格的发夹。

阿美：它们很可爱，最重要的是很便宜。

丹尼尔：不管怎样，我很饿，我要去吃点夜宵。

阿美：臭豆腐怎么样？

丹尼尔：臭豆腐？是什么东西啊？听起来怪怪的。

阿美：它是一种湖南的小吃，而且它在北京非常流行。你要试试吗？

丹尼尔：我考虑一下，那还有些什么呢？

阿美：烤玉米、汤圆、炸花生和豆腐脑。够多了吧？

丹尼尔：我选择炸花生。我非常喜欢吃花生。对了，那卫生吗？妈妈经常告诉我们不要在外面吃东西，因为他们经常用那种循环使用的油。

阿美：别想太多了，你说你非常饿，那你就别无选择，只有吃了。

丹尼尔：算了，我还是回家吃吧。对了，那些卖臭豆腐的商贩都是从湖南来的吗？

阿美：不一定。事实上，人们从本地居民那里学到了制作方法。

丹尼尔：我知道了。那这儿还有其他地方小吃吗？

阿美：当然有啊。比如说这儿有来自四川、福建、广州的小吃。这些也非常有名。

丹尼尔：那有北京小吃吗？

阿美：当然有啊。看，那边就有一个。
