英语PK台 第868期: 办公室午餐: 点外卖

 Dialogue 1
Jingjing: There you are, Mark. You're a little early?
京晶：你已经来啦，马克。你来的早了点儿吧？
Mark: Only a few minutes. I can play with my phone until you're finished up. You've had lunch already, right?
马克：早来了几分钟而已。等你完事时，我可以玩玩手机。你吃完午饭了，是吧？
Jingjing: No. I lost track¹ of the time and missed the chance to go to the cafeteria².
京晶：没有啊。我忘记了时间，错过了去餐厅。
Mark: Really? Don't be such a workaholic, Jingjing? It's not like you to neglect³ your health.
马克：真的吗？工作可别太拼命了！京晶，忽视健康可不是你的风格。
Jingjing: I know. I know. What did you have?
京晶：我知道，我知道。你午餐吃的什么？
Mark: Um, actually, I made a slow start this morning and haven't had anything to eat yet.
马克：嗯，实际上，我今天早晨起得很晚，动作也慢，到现在还什么都没吃呢。
Jingjing: We're both in the same boat, then. How about we order something?
京晶：那我们是彼此彼此了。那，不如点些外卖吧？
Mark: Have you tried Kingdom Crisp⁴? That's the new salad chain. They deliver.
马克：你在Kingdom Crisp这家店吃过吗？是一家新开的沙拉连锁店。他们有外卖。
Jingjing: I saw that at the shopping mall. Is it any good?
京晶：在购物中心见到过。这家店还不错吧？
Mark: I only tried it once—a Caesar salad with chicken. I'm pretty picky when it comes to Caesar salads; but I wasn't disappointed⁵.
马克：我只吃过一次。吃的是凯撒鸡肉沙拉。我对凯撒沙拉是很挑剔的，但他家没让我失望。
Jingjing: I always worry that a salad isn't enough to make a meal.
京晶：我总是担心光吃沙拉不能叫一顿饭吧。
Mark: Hmm. Last time, I walked away not sure if I was full. But then I didn't feel hungry for several hours. That's more than I can say about most fast food.
马克：呃……上次我吃完离开的时候就觉得不怎么饱。但，几个小时后，我也没感到饿。比其他的快餐真是要好很多。
Jingjing: I guess those salad places are all the rage⁶. They seem to be popping up everywhere.
京晶：我觉得沙拉餐厅现在非常风靡。似乎一下子就遍布大街小巷了。
Mark: Yeah, people are really getting into fresh food. You know, you get a lot of nutrients⁷ from raw vegetables that would be lost if they were cooked.
马克：是啊，人们真的开始喜欢上新鲜食物。你知道，你能够从生鲜蔬菜中获得大量营养素，烹调后，这些营养素就会丢失。
Jingjing: Right. Why don't you go ahead and order for yourself. I need a few more minutes to work. I might order something if I get an idea.
京晶：是这样的。那要不你就先给自己点一份吧。我还要工作个几分钟。等我想好了，我自己点。
Mark: Ok. That gives me time to decide what I want this time. You sure you don't want a salad?马克：好吧。正好给我时间决定这次吃点儿什么。你确定你不想吃沙拉吗？
Jingjing: I'll see what yours looks like when it comes.
京晶：等你的来了，我先看看什么样儿。
