Neil: Hello and welcome to Authentic¹ Real English, I'm Neil.

Li: And I'm Li. Neil what are you drinking? Neil 喝的饮料听上去很提神，很馋人啊！

Neil: Ah yes it is, Li. It's so fruity and refreshing².

Li: What kind of juice is it?

Neil: Oh it's not juice, it's a smoothie.

Li: A smoothie?

Neil: Yeah, a smoothie. The fruit is blended rather than squeezed.

Li: Oh I see. A smoothie 就是把新鲜水果搅碎制成的一种饮料，这和挤压的果汁不一样。

Neil: And it sometimes has ice, ice cream or yoghurt in it too. Try it Li.

Li: Oh thank you. Oh it's delicious. 里面还有冰淇淋和酸奶，真好喝！

Neil: How would you describe the texture³?

Li: Well, it's very thick and… smooth.

Neil: Exactly. And that's where the name comes from.

Li: 口感吗？滑滑溜溜的，用英语形容就是 smooth, 这就是为什么人们叫它 smoothie. 汉语中有人把它音译为思慕雪或鲜果奶昔。

A: Right, who wants a drink? I fancy a cup of coffee.

B: Yeah but it's way too hot for coffee. Can I have one of those smoothies? 

A: Oh that's an idea. I think I'll have one too, if I have enough money.

Neil: Well, it's all gone now.

Li: Oh that's a shame.

Neil: Yes… No more smoothie... Shame…

Li: Oh well.

Neil: (Pause) Li, have you had your hair done? It really suits you.

Li: Oh thanks, Neil.

Neil: No, really. It suits your face. Actually, you're looking great at the moment. I like that outfit⁴.

Li: Oh Neil…

Neil: I'd really love another smoothie, but I've just run out of money.

Li: Don't worry, I'll get you one.

Neil: Oh thanks! I can be such a smoothie sometimes…

Li: Yes you can… Smoothie 看来思慕雪不仅是一种饮料，它还指一个善于施展魅力，甜言蜜语让别人为自己做事的人，我说 Neil 怎么一个劲儿的捧我呢！

Neil: A smoothie for the smoothie, please Li.

Li: 好好我给你买…
