介绍:
John, you're a vegetarian. Can you tell me a little about this?
约翰，你是个素食主义者，可以请你谈谈吃素的事吗？
Well, I gave up eating meat when I was 16.
嗯，我从16 岁开始就不再吃肉了。
Really? And what kind of things do you eat now?
真的吗？那你现在都吃些什么？
Urm...dairy products, I eat a lot of dairy products, you know, yogurt, cheese, eggs...but only free-range, of course.
呃...乳制品，我吃很多乳制品，你知道的，像是优格、起司、蛋......但是只自由放养的蛋，当然啦。
Free-range?
自由放养？
Yes, eggs which comes from chickens that are not kept in small cages but free to move around.
是的，生蛋的鸡不是养在狭小的笼子里，而是可以自由自在的走动，
The eggs are more expensive but also much healthier, and they taste better, too.
这种蛋比较贵，但是健康得多，吃起来也好吃许多。
Are there any other special foods that you have to eat?
你还必须吃些什么特别的食物吗？
Yes, I often eat tofu, nuts, beans...again for protein...oh yes, and my favourite, veggie-burgers.
是的，我常吃豆腐，坚果，豆子...补充蛋白质...喔，对了，还有我最喜欢的是汉堡。
What are veggie-burgers?
什么是素汉堡？
Well, they look, smell and taste like burgers made from meat, but they're made from soya beans. Nut burgers are so delicious...but made from nuts, of course.
嗯，素汉堡看起来，闻起来和吃起来都和肉做的汉堡一样，但是是用大豆做成的。坚果堡也很好吃...但是是用坚果做的，当然啦。
How about fish and chicken?
那鱼肉和鸡肉呢？
Well, for five years I also didn't eat any fish or chicken but now I eat them about twice a week.
嗯，我有5 年的时间没有吃任何鱼肉或鸡肉，但是我现在一个礼拜吃两次。
Why did you change?
你为什么改变了呢？
I started to live on my own and couldn't cook vegetarian food as well as my mother.
我开始一个人过活，而且我煮的素食没有我妈煮的好吃，
So now, I sometimes eat fish or chicken because they are easy to cook and not unhealthy.
所以现在我偶尔会吃鱼肉或鸡肉，因为它们容易料理又不会不健康。
