旅行英语 美食篇
1. dialogue：今天食欲很好
Irene：Seriously，don’t order so much food.说真的，别点这么多。
David：Why not? The food’s cheap here. 为什么？这里的东西这么便宜。
Irene：It is. But your eyes are bigger than your stomach. You won’t eat it all, and it’s not good to waste food. Think of all the poor starving people in the world! 是便宜，但你的眼睛总比胃口大。你不可能全部吃完，浪费食物不好。想想那些没钱吃饭的可怜人。
David：Aw! Don’t worry; I have a big appetite today, so I’ll be fine. 哎呀，别担心。我今天食欲很好，没问题。
Irene：So be it, but I’ll be really peeved if you don’t finish everything you ordered. 好啦，但要是你不全部吃完，我会真的生气的。
David：Hmm…OK, maybe I should cancel a couple of the sides; your bad moods are too hard for me to swallow. Waiter. 嗯。。。好，我还是不要点那么多小菜了，你一生气我可吃不消。服务员！

3. Talking about Food
I’ve often pestered my friends with this question: If you could eat food from only one country for the rest of your life. What cuisine would you choose? Go on, take a few minutes to think about it. But don’t go making yourself feel hungry, run off to eat, and forgot to come back.
我总会用同一个问题纠缠我的朋友们： 如果在你余暇的生命里，只能吃唯一一个国家的食物，你会选择什么？花个几分钟思考一下吧！不过，可别让你自己越想越饿，饿到跑去觅食而忘了往下看噢！
Friends I’ve quizzed with this question often choose Japanese for its light and organic nature, Italian or French for their sauces and fresh salads, Chinese for the infinite variety, or Indian and Thai for their exotic spices. Of course, there’s also Taiwanese Snack, Argentinian asado, and American food (It’s no all pizza, hot dogs, and hamburgers; two of my favorite foods are Tex-Mex and Cajun ).
我很多朋友思考过这个问题，通常选择日本料理的人，是因为喜欢清淡和有机的食物；选择意大利或是法国料理的人，则是因为独特的酱汁和新鲜沙拉；偏爱中式料理的人总爱它丰富的菜品；而爱好印度料理或者泰式料理的人，则是对异国香料的风味无法抗拒。当然，也有人独爱台湾小吃，阿根廷烤肉或者美式食物(并非只有披萨，汉堡，像我钟爱的两种美式食物：一是德州的墨西哥美食，另一是美国南边路易斯安那州的一种乡村食物Cajun)
One of the great things about life today is that you can have it all. You don’t have to travel far now to get fantastic cuisine from all around the world. Obviously, the best way is to actually travel to the country where the cuisine originates from, but cuisine loves to travel just as much as we do. We can enjoy many of our favorite dishes from foreign destinations all around the world, thanks to overseas settlers who brought recipes and ingredients with them, exporting their local delicacies and turning them into international cuisine that we can enjoy in countries other than the ones they originated from.
现如今，人生中很棒的一件事情就是你不需要飞到遥远的国家，就可以完全拥有并享用那里的美食。当然飞到美食的原产国家去品尝是最好的办法，但是，有时候食物可能也像我们一样喜欢旅游。多亏有了海外移民者，将异国的烹饪方式，食材和当地的佳肴带到世界各地，甚至融合国际的美食料理，让我们不用身处当地，也能吃到世界各地我们喜爱的美食。
Food is one of the most pleasurable ways to get to know a culture. It’s something that can instantly take us back to our childhood. Food sustains us but also excites us. It not only nourishes us physically but also acts as a social tool, bring together international friends and even strangers. It’s at times our guilty pleasure or our worst nightmare. We can’t live without it——and why would we want to?
食物是了解一种文化的最好的方式之一。有时候食物的美味可以把我们一下子带回童年，勾起浓浓的回忆。食物不仅维持我们的生命，也会让我们感到快乐；它不仅让我们在身体上获得营养，并且充当着一种社交工具，以此来拉近世界各地的人，从陌生人变成朋友。有时候美食带来让人罪恶的愉悦；有时候又像个梦魇一样。不吃东西就无法生存，反正我们怎么可能想要不吃东西就生存呢？
I may not be able to decide between stinky tofu and sushi,sauerkrant and seafood salad, spaghetti and sambal, but I’ll keep eating my way around the world until I can! OK, you may go eat now. And can I join you?
我可能无法从臭豆腐和寿司之间做选择，或在德式泡菜和海鲜沙拉之间二选一，又或者是意大利面和沙巴酱，但我绝对会继续吃遍世界美食（直到我可以为止）好了，你现在可以去觅食了！那……让我一起加入好吗？
