雪莉吃不慣公司的工作餐，於是叫了好朋友簡到外面的大排檔吃中飯，兩個人對於吃的觀念好像很不一樣，一起來看看吧。

Jane: How do you.like the food sold in this sidewalk snack booth?

Shirley: At least, it is better than my boxed lunch at work. I'm so fed up with the bland food. Thank you for having lunch with me!

Jane: Any time. But I don't mind eating boxed lunch. The food sanitation is really good too.

Shirley: It's hard to believe that you like it. You are so easy to be satisfied.

Jane: Hey, it's not that bad. The food is nutritious and it's really convenient. I don't want to spend too much time on eating stuff.

Shirley: Eating is important. You are what you eat. It's not only a daily routine.

Jane: Well, will you just go back to work after lunch?

Shirley: No. I'm going to pay the bill for the company's lunch.

Jane: But you didn't eat anything today.

Shirley: Well, the bill is paid by month. That's probably the only thing that I like about a take-out restaurant.

Jane: All right. I'm going to the McDonald's.

Shirley: For what? I thought you didn't like western food.

Jane: No, I never did. It's for my son. He loves it, and I made an agreement with him that he can eat it once a week.

Shirley: That's really smart. My son Daniel is the same with your son. I just don't get it, why all the kids prefer western food to traditional food.

Jane: Me, either. But, it's for sure that the children market is a really big one.

Shirley: That's for sure. It's always hard for the parents to say “no” to their children.

聽看學
簡: 你覺得大排檔裏賣的東西好吃嗎？

雪莉: 至少，它比我們公司吃的盒飯好吃。我受夠了那些乏味的食物了。謝謝你陪我吃午飯。

簡: 我很樂意啊。但是我倒是不介意吃盒飯。那些食物的衛生也很不錯。

雪莉: 真難以相信你會喜歡。你也太容易滿足了吧。

簡: 嗨，沒有那麼差吧。那些食物營養而且非常方便。我可不想花太多的時間在吃飯上。

雪莉: 吃是很重要的。吃什麼樣的東西代表你是什麼樣的人。它可不只是每天的例行公事哦。

簡: 還有，你吃完飯之後會直接回去工作嗎？

雪莉: 不，我得去把公司的工作午餐的賬結了。

簡: 但是你今天什麼都沒有吃啊。

雪莉: 這個啊，賬單是月結的。這可能是外賣讓我喜歡的唯一一點。

簡: 好吧。我要去一趟麥當勞。

雪莉: 去做什麼？我原以爲你不喜歡西餐的。

簡: 沒錯，我從來都不喜歡。是給我兒子的。他最喜歡了。我跟他約定每週只吃一次。

雪莉: 這是個聰明的做法。我兒子丹尼爾也和你兒子一樣。我就是不明白，爲什麼孩子們都喜歡西方的食品而不喜歡傳統食物呢？

簡: 我也不明白。可是，可以確定的是兒童市場是一個非常大的市場。

雪莉: 肯定的啊。讓父母對他們的孩子說“不”總是很難的。

經典背誦 Recitation
Shirley: Today I had lunch with my friend Jane at a sidewalk snack booth. The food there was far better than my working lunch which I never liked. But Jane was fine with working lunch thinking it was nutritious and convenient, and she didn't want to spend too much time on it. I couldn't agree with her on this. In my eyes, eating was important because I believed you were what you ate.
