aI want you to know how much I appreciate these terrific meals you’ve been cooking. Do you guys always eat this well?
我真的很感激你们做这么丰盛的饭菜。你们都经常吃这么好吗?
bNot really. During the week, we’re both busy with our jobs, so there isn’t much time to cook anything fancy.
并不是这样。平时我们都忙于工作,所以没有多少时间烹饪出花样。
aWe both enjoy cooking and experimenting, so we usually try to fix something special on Sundays.
我们都喜欢做饭、尝试,所以星期天我们都通常试着做些特别的菜。
bThis morning’s breakfast was great, scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and orange juice! You surely don’t eat that kind of breakfast every day.
今天的早餐真是美味,炒蛋、烟肉、烤面包,还有橙汁!你们肯定不是每天都吃这样的早餐。
aYou’re right! We don’t. During the week, we usually have cold cereal and maybe a piece of fruit. Neither of us has the time to cook breakfast. Monday through Friday, it’s Every man for himself. Don’t worry, though. You’ll never go to bed hungry.
bThat’s true. And dinners are different, anyway. Some nights Marsha will fix a casserole11 or a pasta dish. Other nights, I like to throw fish or hamburgers onto the grill. And fix a green salad.
bWell, not every night. Some nights we have leftovers, or maybe we’ll just send out for a pizza. We even enjoy going out to a restaurant once in a while.
