实战口语情景对话 第655期:Sushi Ways and Wasabi 寿司的正确吃法和芥末

Adrienne: So how do you eat the sushi? What's the best way to eat it?
埃德里安娜：如何吃寿司？寿司的正确吃法是什么？

Hiroshi: I usually use chopsticks but some people, they definitely prefer just using hands.
浩：通常我会用筷子，不过也有人直接用手拿着吃。

Adrienne: You can eat with your hands at the restaurant?
埃德里安娜：在餐厅可以直接用手拿寿司吃吗？

Hiroshi: The restaurant if it's more an upscale restaurant, that it has a little art deco that you feel that it is not like old school, but really upscale restaurant. I would recommend to use chopsticks but if it's an old school sushi restaurant and in downtown area, yeah, it's totally acceptable to use your hands.
浩：如果是那种高级餐厅，有装饰艺术的餐厅，不太像传统的日式餐厅，而是高级餐厅的话，我建议用筷子，但是如果是市中心的传统餐厅，直接用手拿着吃是完全可以接受的。

Adrienne: Interesting. OK, so I am eating maybe with chopsticks or with my hands. Is there anything I need to put on the sushi or eat with the sushi or do I just eat is straight?
埃德里安娜：挺有意思。好，我可以用筷子或者直接拿手吃寿司。那在吃的时候，我还要在寿司上放些其它东西搭配着吃吗，还是直接吃就行了？

Hiroshi: OK, I think the big question's always, how much wasabi.
浩：我觉得最大的问题是放多少芥末。

Adrienne: Wasabi? What's wasabi?
埃德里安娜：芥末？那是什么？

Hiroshi: Wasabi is a horseradish. It's really hot. The green one you might have seen.
浩：就是芥末。非常的辣。你可能见过绿色的。

Adrienne: Oh, it looks like putty.
埃德里安娜：哦，看上去很像油灰。

Hiroshi: Correct. And the real sushi restaurant, they actually either ask you or you basically let the sushi chef decide how much they are gonna put on the sushi, and you basically, you just use soy sauce as a dip and eat it, so if you really don't like to have anything spicy you might want to tell the chef that I don't need wasabi in my sushi.
浩：没错。真正的寿司餐厅会询问你可以接受寿司师傅放多少芥末，基本上来说，也可以只蘸酱油吃，所以如果你真的不喜欢吃辣的话，那你可以跟寿司师傅说不放芥末。

Adrienne: OK, I saw someone once at a sushi restaurant put wasabi in the soy sauce. Is that acceptable?
埃德里安娜：好，我曾经在寿司餐厅看到有人把芥末放进了酱油里。可以这样做吗？

Hiroshi: That's acceptable but it depends on the restaurant. Some restaurants actually give you wasabi along with your sushi dish and you add the wasabi onto the soy sauce trey. That's totally fine. You can control the hotness, the spiciness. Yeah, that's fine and also you can just go without wasabi and just enjoy the natural flavor of fish.
浩：可以，不过也要看餐厅。一些餐厅会在上寿司的同时上一份芥末酱，那你就可以把芥末加到酱油里面。完全可以这样做。可以控制辣度。这样做没问题，当然你也可以不加芥末，享受原汁原味的鱼肉。

Adrienne: What happens if you eat too much wasabi?
埃德里安娜：如果吃了太多芥末会怎样？

Hiroshi: Basically, tears comes out.
浩：会流眼泪。

Adrienne: You burn your brain.
埃德里安娜：头部会有灼烧感。

Hiroshi: You burn your brain. Yeah.
浩：对，头部会有灼烧感。
