At an bike shop Dan: I want to buy a new bicycle pump. Boss: They’re over there. Do you want some cow’s tongue? Dan: Well, I usually have a cast iron stomach, but I think I’ll pass. Boss: No, they’re not real tongue; they’re cookies. See? Dan: Oh, another of those local products? Boss: Yes. We have flattened duck, too. Dan: That’s a duck? It looks like a Frisbee. Boss: Where are you guys riding? Dan: To Hualien County. Can you suggest a good road? (续上期,下期续) 在脚踏车行 阿丹:我想要买一个新的脚踏车打气筒。 老板:货在那儿。要不要吃些牛舌饼? 阿丹:嗯,通常我的胃就像铁打的一样。不过,我想还是算了。 老板:不,那不是真的舌头。只是饼干, 看吧! 阿丹:喔,又是一项土产? 老板:是的。我们还有鸭赏。 阿丹:那是鸭子?看起来好像飞盘。 老板:你们一群人要骑去哪里? 阿丹:骑到花莲。你可不可以建议一条好的路线? 重点解说: ★ cow’s tongue 牛舌,这里是指宜兰名产‘牛舌饼’;flattened duck 则是宜兰名产‘鸭赏’ ★ cast iron (a.) 强壮的。cast iron stomach就是‘铁胃’,指不论吃什么都没事的胃 ★ I’ll pass. 我放弃。用来婉拒对方的邀约 ★ local product 地方特产 ★ Frisbee (n.) 飞盘 ★ suggest (v.) 建议 相关资料 |
