实战口语情景对话 第781期:Mexican Food 墨西哥美食

Rebecca: So, Diego, I hear that Mexico has some really great food and that you love to cook. What's your favorite food in Mexico?
丽贝卡：迪亚哥，你听说墨西哥的美食很棒，而且你热爱烹饪。你最喜欢的墨西哥美食是什么？

Diego: My favorite food in Mexico is chiles en nogada. Chiles means pepper and this is a very traditional Mexican dish because our flag is green, white and red, so this plate, the peppers are green, and then it has a white sauce on top of it and then it has a grain sort of fruit. It's a red fruit and it's representing our flag so it's very... It's a very historical plate in Mexico. It's very famous.
迪亚哥：我最喜欢的墨西哥美食是核桃酱辣椒。Chiles是辣椒，这是一道非常传统的墨西哥食物，我们墨西哥的国旗由绿色、白色和红色三个颜色组成，而这道菜，辣椒是绿色的，在上面淋上白色的酱汁，再加一些水果。一般会放红色的水果，这样这道菜就代表国旗的三种颜色，所以……这道菜在墨西哥历史悠久，非常有名。

Rebecca: Oh, wow. I don't think we have anything like that in Australia. It'd be hard to get something that you'd eat that's blue and red and white.
丽贝卡：哦，哇。我想我们澳大利亚并没有这样的菜。很难找到由蓝色、红色和白色组成的菜。

Diego: Blue and red.
迪亚哥：蓝色和红色。

Rebecca: Yeah. Maybe fish.
丽贝卡：嗯，也许鱼可以。

Diego: Fish with strawberries.
迪亚哥：鱼和草莓组合在一起。

Rebecca: I don't think that would work.
丽贝卡：我想那行不通。

Diego: Yeah.
迪亚哥：对。

Rebecca: So what about tacos? Do you eat them a lot?
丽贝卡：那墨西哥玉米卷呢？你们经常吃吗？

Diego: Yeah, we eat them a lot. Tacos is like Mexican fast food, so there's a lot of tacos stands in Mexico, and you can have them in all sorts of ways: with cheese, with onions, with meat, with different sauces, like green sauce, hot sauce, red sauce. Yeah.
迪亚哥：对，我们经常吃。墨西哥玉米卷算是墨西哥的快餐，墨西哥有很多卖墨西哥玉米卷的小摊，玉米卷里可以加各种食物，比如奶酪、洋葱、肉，然后搭配蔬菜汁、辣椒酱和红酱等各种酱汁。

Rebecca: Do the tortillas... do they stand up or are they round ones that always fall over when you go to eat them?
丽贝卡：玉米面饼是那种炸的很酥脆的还是圆形的，吃的时候总会掉的那种？

Diego: They're the round ones and they're also soft so they're not corn chips.
迪亚哥：是圆形的，口感松软，并不是炸玉米片。

Rebecca: Like the ones we get.
丽贝卡：就像我们澳大利亚吃的那种。

Diego: Yes.
迪亚哥：对。

Rebecca: Not true Mexican.
丽贝卡：并不是地道的墨西哥玉米卷。
