英文原版对话1000个:625 What's for Lunch?

Tom: What did you have for lunch?

Martin: I had a chicken bento.

Tom: You brought it from home?

Martin: No, I bought it here on campus¹.

Tom: In the cafe?

Martin: Yes.

Tom: How was it?

Martin: It was ok. It's better than most of the other food here and it wasn't too expensive.

Tom: Do you eat here a lot.

Martin: I try not to.

Tom: Why not?

Martin: It's a little more expensive and the quality isn't quite as good as I'd hope for the value.

Tom: More expensive than where?

Martin: More expensive than a small restaurant or a specialized² chicken place down in town.

Tom: Really? I agree with you about the quality but I thought it was quite cheap up here.

Martin: I just find I can find a little better deal sometimes in town and a lot better quality for about the same price.

Tom: So about lunch, do you have lunch here?

Martin: Often? No.

Tom: What do you do for lunch?

Martin: I usually go home and eat. I'm not on campus that often.

Tom: Ok, yeah. 'Cause I kind of get stuck up here from morning until evening so I'm eating there everyday.

Martin: Everyday. Sorry to hear that.

Tom: What do you do for dinner, do you cook?

Martin: Yes I do, most often, usually just easy beef stir-fries or now and then go out...

Tom: Like chinese-style.

Martin: Yeah. Easier to cook than Japanese-style.

Tom: Do you shop everyday or do you go shopping once a week.

Martin: I usually shop every other day.

Tom: Ok. So you like fresh food.

Martin: Yes.

Tom: Do you live on your own.

Martin: Yes. How about you?

Tom: Oh yeah, I live on my own.

Martin: That's always better sometimes.

Tom: With my cooking, it's not better that I live on my own.
