A：How do you like the food sold in this sidewalk snack booth?

你觉得大排档里卖的东西好吃吗?

B：At least, it is better than my boxed lunch at work. I'm so fed up with the bland food. Thank you for having lunch with me!

至少，它比我们公司吃的盒饭好吃。我受够了那些乏味的食物了。谢谢你陪我吃午饭。

A：Any time. But I don't mind eating boxed lunch. The food sanitation is really good too.

我很乐意啊。但是我倒是不介意吃盒饭。那些食物的卫生也很不错。

B：It's hard to believe that you like it. You are so easy to be satisfied.

真难以相信你会喜欢。你也太容易满足了吧。

A：Hey, it's not that bad. The food is nutritious and it's really convenient. I don't want to spend too much time on eating stuff.

嗨，没有那么差吧。那些食物营养而且非常方便。我可不想花太多的时间在吃饭上。

B：Eating is important. You are what you eat. It's not only a daily routine.

吃是很重要的。吃什么样的东西代表你是什么样的人。它可不只是每天的例行公事哦。

不，我得去把公司的工作午餐的账结了。

A：But you didn't eat anything today.

但是你今天什么都没有吃啊。

B：Well, the bill is paid by month. That's probably the only thing that I like about a take-out restaurant.

这个啊，账单是月结的。这可能是外卖让我喜欢的唯一一点。

好吧。我要去一趟麦当劳。

B：For what? I thought you didn't like western food.

去做什么?我原以为你不喜欢西餐的。

没错，我从来都不喜欢。是给我儿子的。他最喜欢了。我跟他约定每周只吃一次。

B：That's really smart. My son Daniel is the same with your son. I just don't get it, why all the kids prefer western food to traditional food.

这是个聪明的做法。我儿子丹尼尔也和你儿子一样。我就是不明白，为什么孩子们都喜欢西方的食品而不喜欢传统食物呢?

A：Me, either. But, it's for sure that the children market is a really big one.

我也不明白。可是，可以确定的是儿童市场是一个非常大的市场。

B：That's for sure. It's always hard for the parents to say no to their children.

肯定的啊。让父母对他们的孩子说不总是很难的。
