Section A Conversation One
M: I've just bought a new blender¹.
我买了个新的搅拌机。
W: What's that?
那是什么?
M: A blender, you know, a machine that blends food.
搅拌机。你知道的,就是一台混合食物的机器。
W: Uh, yes, of course, the electric kitchen appliance.²
啊,是的,当然知道,厨房电器。
M: Exactly, this one is state-of-the-art³. I've been meaning to buy one for a while⁴, and I did thorough research on which specific model⁵ to get. I read through maybe hundreds of online user reviews. Anyway, it's amazing.
是的。这个是最先进的。我想买一个已经有一段时间了。我对买哪个型号做了深入的研究。我看了几百条网上的用户评论。总之,它真的很棒。
W: Really? What could be so special about it? I mean it's just a blender.
是吗?它有何神奇之处?它不就是个搅拌机嘛。
M: Well, basically, it's just a very good one. It feels heavy and sturdy⁶ and well made⁷. It also has lots of power and can easily cut and crush practically⁸ anything. This way, the soups and juices I make come out⁹ really fine and smooth, with no lumpy bits¹⁰.
大致来说,它就是质量很好。手感沉重,坚固,做工精良。它也有很大的力量,可以很容易的切断和粉碎几乎任何东西。这样我做的汤和果汁就会变得又细又顺滑,没有块状物。
W: Um, I see.I have never thought of getting one myself. It sounds like the kind of thing that, for me personally¹¹, I would rarely use.
嗯,我明白了。我自己从来没想过买一个。就我个人而言,我感觉我不会经常用它。
M:I've never had one before, and now that I do, I use it all the time. I make a fresh fruit juice in the morning, maybe not every morning, but 3 or 4 times a week, and it feels fantastic. It's a really healthy habit.
我以前也从来没买过,现在我有了,我一直在用。我早上做新鲜的果汁,也许不是每天早上,但每周三到四次,感觉棒极了。这是一个非常健康的习惯。
W: I can imagine that must feel quite satisfying. I can picture¹² you getting all creative in the kitchen and trying out a multitude of¹³ different ingredients, and it's obviously going to be healthier than buying packaged juice from a supermarket.
我能想象那感觉一定很满足。我可以想象你在厨房里发挥创造力,尝试多种不同的食材。这显然比从超市买包装好的果汁更健康。
M: It's so much healthier. It's not even close.¹⁴ Did you know that store-bought¹⁵ juice is like 10% sugar?
这样更健康。简直没法比。你知道商店里买的果汁含有10%的糖吗?
W: Right, so then you bought it for the health benefits?
是的,所以你是为了健康才买的?
M: Mostly yes. Basically, it allows me to have a more varied diet with a far wider assortment of¹⁶ nutrients, because it's not only fruit in my morning juices you see. I can also throw in vegetables, nuts, yogurts, cereals¹⁷, anything that tickled my fancy¹⁸.
可以这么说。它让我的饮食更加多样化,营养成分也更加丰富。因为我早上喝的果汁里不只有水果。我也可以加入蔬菜、坚果、酸奶、麦片,任何我喜欢的东西。
