Todd: So what is a good vegetarian dish that you cook?
托德:那你最擅长烹饪的素食菜肴是什么?

Ruth: Well, actually, I'm not a very good cook, so that would be difficult to say. I quite like to make, like a vegetable stew with tofu in it. Things like that, but it's not very exciting.

Todd: Well, how do you make the stew?
托德:嗯,你怎么做炖菜?

Ruth: Well, firstly, you get all of the vegetable ready and so you chop them up and the potatoes and you boil the potatoes and then you boil the other vegetables, and you fry the tofu with onions and then I think you just put it all together in a pan and stick it in the oven, I think.
鲁斯:首先,把蔬菜准备好,然后切碎,把土豆煮熟,之后再煮其他蔬菜,把豆腐和洋葱一起炒熟,之后我想把这些一起放在盘子里,再放入微波炉。

Todd: Actually I kind of like them that way.

Ruth: Really.

Ruth: Yeah, that's true. It takes effort.
鲁斯:对,没错。需要加工。
