托德：加布里埃尔，你是一个素食主义者。

Gabrielle: That's right!
加布里埃尔：没错！

Todd: So, you do not eat meat!
托德：所以你不吃肉类！

Gabrielle: I don't. No meat, no fish!
加布里埃尔：不吃。不吃肉类，不吃鱼类！

Todd: OK, and you said that you have a garden.
托德：好，你说过你有一个花园。

Gabrielle: Yeah, I'm lucky to have enough room to have a vegetable garden, as well as a flower garden, so I love growing veggies.
加布里埃尔：对，我很幸运，我家里有足够的空间建了个菜园，还有一个花园，我喜欢种植蔬菜。

Todd: Oh, nice! Can you tell us about your garden and what you grow and what you eat?
托德：真好！你能跟我说说你家的花园吗，你都种什么，吃什么？

Gabrielle: Sure absolutely! Well, I guess in the summertime, I grow a lot of salad vegetables: lettuce, green onions, tomatoes, and over the winter, whatever grows pretty much, carrots or cabbages, broccoli.
加布里埃尔：当然可以！在夏天的时候我会种许多能用来做沙拉的蔬菜：包括莴苣、大葱、西红柿；而冬天则会种大量的胡萝卜、卷心菜和花椰菜。

Todd: Wow, you grow vegetables all year round!
托德：哇，你一整年都在种蔬菜！

Gabrielle: I try. I try. I'm not a great gardener. Yeah, so!
加布里埃尔：我尽量这样做，尽量。我并不是一个好的园丁。就这样！

Todd: And what things do you like to make with these vegetable?
托德：这些蔬菜你喜欢和什么一起搭配来吃？

Gabrielle: Ah, in the summer time I love just raw vegetables, so salads are great, and I eat them with Tofu or, yeah, vegetables are good. (OK) Yeah in winter soups. I love making soup with fresh veggies.
加布里埃尔：夏天的时候我喜欢吃生蔬菜，做成沙拉很棒，我会搭配豆腐来吃，蔬菜非常棒。（好的）冬天的时候就做汤喝。我喜欢用新鲜的蔬菜做汤。

Todd: Oh, what kind of soup?
托德：哪种汤？

Gabrielle: Well, I don't follow recipes actually, so what ever veggies I have go in the pot. Yeah, tomato soup, corn soup's good.
加布里埃尔：实际上我并不按照食谱做，我把菜园里有的蔬菜都放进锅里。当然，西红柿汤和玉米汤非常好。

Todd: Sounds good. How do you make soup?I mean what is your procedure?
托德：听起来不错。你怎么做汤？我是说步骤是什么？

Gabrielle: OK, well, basically I take whatever vegetables I have, chop them up and cook them, boil them lightly. I like them still crunchy and then I often add a base of some salt, a stock, a veggie stock.
加布里埃尔：好，基本上来说我会用我能找到的蔬菜做汤，把蔬菜切碎然后稍微炒煮一下。我喜欢吃起来脆脆的蔬菜，之后放点盐就行了，这样就做成了高汤，蔬菜高汤。

Todd: Now that's normally a problem for vegetarians right, cause you can't use bouillon, (Yeah) the beef cube or the chicken cube.
托德：这对素食主义者来说是个问题，因为你们不用肉汤来调味，（对），比如牛肉粒或是鸡精块之类的。

Gabrielle: Sure, at home actually, we have a lot of vegetarian products available so I get some organic veggie stock, or alternatively, I use some spices, some cumin or basil spice, yeah, or sometimes lentils I cook up. Yeah!
加布里埃尔：没错，通常在家里我们有很多素食产品，所以我会做有机时蔬高汤，或者我会用一些调味料，一些孜然或是罗勒叶，有时我烹饪时也会用小扁豆。嗯！

Todd: You're making me hungry. Sounds good. Well, thanks a lot, Gabrielle.
托德：你说得我都饿了。听起来真好。非常谢谢你，加布里埃尔。

Gabrielle: No problem, you're welcome.
加布里埃尔：不用谢，不客气。
