外教讲解地道美语 第307期:泰国美味

A: What did you cook? 你做了什么好吃的？

B: Well, as you know I was in Thailand last month, and I took a cooking class! So I prepared some of my favorite dishes. 嗯，你知道的我上个月在泰国，我在那儿上了烹饪课！因此我准备了一些我喜欢的菜。

A: Great idea! As long as I don't get food poisoning! So what is on the menu tonight? 好主意！只要我不会食物中毒就好！那么今晚的菜单都有什么？

B: Ok, for starters we have Tom Yam soup. It's a bit spicy, but really good! 好的，第一道是泰式酸辣汤。有点麻辣，但是会很好喝！

A: This is delicious! The ginger and lemongrass really gives it a nice taste! 美味啊！生姜和柠檬草让汤很鲜美的。

B: Now this next dish is one of the most famous. Foreigners call it papaya salad but the proper name is Tom Sam.  It is a spicy salad made from a mix of fresh vegetables including shredded unripened papaya and tomato. 接下来是一道很有名的。外国人称它是木瓜色拉但是更恰当的名字是Tom Sam. 它是味道辛辣的色拉，混合着切碎的木瓜和土豆等新鲜蔬菜。

A: This is delicious!  The combination of sour and spicy is really interesting! I could have this everyday! 这个很好吃！又酸又辣很很有意思！我本来可以每天都吃这个的！

B: Ok, now for the last and best dish in my opinion. This is called Pad Thai. It's stir-fried noodles with eggs, fish sauce, tamarind juice, red chili pepper plus bean sprouts, shrimp and tofu and garnished with crushed peanuts and coriander. It's practically Thailand's national dish! 好的，下面是最后一个我觉得最好的菜。叫做泰式炒河粉。它是把面条和鸡蛋，鱼酱，红辣椒和豆芽菜混在一起炒。

A: Wow, this is great! I never knew Thai food was so creative and delicious! 哇，这棒！我从来不知道泰国菜那么有创意，那么美味。

B: Want some more? 想要更多吗？

A: I'm stuffed! 我已经饱了！
