服務(wù)生:女孩們,現(xiàn)在點(diǎn)餐嗎?
阿美:你有什么可以推薦的嗎?
服務(wù)生:最近巧克力火鍋特別受年輕女孩子歡迎。巧克力火鍋,就是火鍋里面放有巧克力,你可以往里放甜點(diǎn)或者別的任何東西。
古奇:哇噻,對(duì)我來說那太誘人了。
阿美:好的,我們就點(diǎn)它吧。

注釋
1.I can eat a horse.
我能吃下一匹馬。能吃下一匹馬,可見餓的程度之大,很容易想到這是表示“太餓了”。中文中也與相似的表達(dá):“我餓得能吃下一頭牛。”有趣的是,中國(guó)人餓了選擇吃牛,外國(guó)人選擇吃馬。
ate hot pot
巧克力火鍋,與中國(guó)火鍋的不同在于,它的湯底一般是液態(tài)的巧克力和奶酪等,而各式菜品則代之為各式甜點(diǎn)。巧克力火鍋受年輕情侶喜歡,不過由于卡路里太高,令很多女孩子望而止步。
3.Chocolate is something to die for!
意思是我愿意為巧克力而死。這是夸張的表達(dá)方式,表示了對(duì)巧克力的極大喜歡,口語(yǔ)中很常見。如果一個(gè)男孩喜歡女孩,他可以說:“She is to die for.”意思為:她值得我為她而死。
