原版英语对话1000个: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, Wow

Jessica: 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.

Yeah

Todd: 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.
