英语访谈对话 236 Sushi

 　　Todd: Hey, Jessica, what are you going to have for dinner tonight?

　　Jessica: Tonight is sushi night.

　　Todd: Oh, you're going to sushi.

　　Jessica: Well, actually no. My girlfriend and I, we buy sushi every Tuesdays and Fridays, and those are sushi night.

　　Todd: Oh, WowJessica: Yeah, Yeah. It's because, well we buy it in the supermarket and bring it home cause it's cheaper than eating in a restaurant.

　　Todd: Yeah, it is a lot cheaper.

　　YeahTodd: OK, what sushi do you eat?

　　Jessica: Well, we always buy the box, which has a little bit of everything. And I'm never quite sure what any of it is. I know there's a piece of salmon¹ in there. Some octopus², or squid. Um, and then from that point on I'm not quite sure what anything else is, but it's all delicious, so I eat it all, and then we also have rolls, so we buy just different rolls. Actually, last week we tried natto. Have you ever tried that before?

　　Todd: Yeah, it's gross.

　　Jessica: It's the most vile³, disgusting food you can ever possibly eat, so I definitely don't recommend that but.

　　Todd: Well, have you had uni?

　　Jessica: I have not.

　　Todd: Uni is gross. Uni is sea urchin⁴ and it looks like an orange tongue.

　　Jessica: Oh, I've seen that. Is that what that is?

　　Todd: Yeah, stay away from that.

　　Jessica: I will. I definitely will.
