會話

Charlie: Holy moly, it’s pouring outside. I got soaking wet!

Pohan: Anyway, welcome back. Charlie, Have you had dinner yet?

Charlie: No, I forgot to do groceries when I was on the way home. Are you making dinner tonight?

Pohan: Exactly, I am making different exotic cuisines. We can have dinner together.

Charlie: Are you for real? Thank you so much. You are my lifesaver. It’s so great that we live in the same apartment. Do you mind if I bring a couple of friends to join us?

Pohan: Of course not! The more the merrier! Let’s have an exotic dinner party tonight.

Charlie: That would be great! And what kinds of foreign dishes are you preparing?

Pohan: I’ve made tortilla, paella, fish and chips. Do you want to try them first?

Charlie: Wow, this paella is excellent. It’s almost the same as I had in Spain. The shrimps are surprisingly tender.

Pohan: I knew you would like it! I learned this paella recipe from my host mom in Barcelona.

Charlie: No wonder. I feel like I am eating like a local now. The food was fabulous. Thank you so much for tonight.

Pohan: Don’t mention it! It’s nothing. Just remember next time it’s on you. Charlie.

中文翻譯

查理：天啊！外面雨水是用倒的欸！全身都溼透了！

柏翰：沒關係啦，歡迎回家，你吃晚飯了嗎？

查理：還沒，我回來的路上忘記去買東西了，你在做晚餐嗎？

柏翰：沒錯，我在做異國料理，晚上一起吃吧！

查理：太感謝了！你救了我啊！我們住在同一棟真是太棒了，你會介意我帶一些朋友來嗎？

柏翰：當然不會！人多熱鬧嘛！今晚來個異國派對吧！

查理：太棒了！你現在準備什麼呢？

柏翰：我在準備玉米餅、西班牙燉飯跟，要嚐嚐看嗎？

查理：這西班牙燉飯好吃欸！跟我當初在西班牙吃的一模一樣，尤其這蝦子肉好嫩喔！

柏翰：我就知道你會喜歡，這是我在巴塞隆納的時候跟我轟媽學的。

查理：難怪，我現在彷彿置身在當地的感覺呢！食物太棒了，感激不盡呢！

柏翰：不客氣，這沒什麼，但記得下次換你請囉！
