有關(guān)愛爾蘭生活情景對話1：
Todd: So, Mark, when people think of Americans they often think of the hot dog and when they think of Japan they think of sushi. What are the foods that people associate with New Zealand?
托德：馬克，人們談到美國時會想到熱狗，提到日本時會想到壽司。那人們提到新西蘭時會想到什么食物?
Mark: According to a lot of the Japanese students that I know who have gone to study in New Zealand or have a home stay programme over there, they normally come back speaking about 3 New Zealand foods. The first one is probably fish and chips, which is a traditional or unofficial traditional Friday night meal. At the end of a long week mum and dad will say, “Lets go and get some ‘greezies'”: deep fried battered fish, potato fritters or hot dogs and fried chips. They used to be wrapped in newspaper but now for health reasons you've got to have plain white paper.
馬克：我認(rèn)識的一些在新西蘭留學(xué)或是在那里進(jìn)行長期項目的日本學(xué)生說，他們喜歡的新西蘭食物有三種。第一種是魚類和薯條，這是周五的傳統(tǒng)非正式晚餐。在漫長的一周結(jié)束之后，媽媽和爸爸會說“我們?nèi)コ孕┯驼ㄊ称钒?rdquo;，這些食品指的就是炸魚、土豆煎餅、熱狗或是炸薯條。這些食物以前是裝在報紙里的，不過現(xiàn)在出于健康考慮，這些食物會裝在普通的白紙里。
Todd: Oh, no kidding.
托德：哦，不是開玩笑吧。
Mark: Yeah, but the fish and chips dinner on Friday night is a bit of a tradition.
馬克：是啊，周五晚上吃魚和薯條是種傳統(tǒng)。
Todd: Oh, ok what else besides fish and chips?
托德：哦，好的，那除了魚類和薯條還有別的食物嗎?
Mark: The other one would be something called a pavlova which is similar to a large meringue cake, very rich, very very sweet, made with egg white and lots of sugar with lots of whipped cream and fresh fruit on top. Kiwis and Australians often argue over who invented it but I'm sure kiwis did!
馬克：還有一種稱為巴甫洛娃蛋糕的食物，與大塊的芒果蛋糕類似，料多味美，是用蛋清和大量的糖和鮮奶油做的，上面還有新鮮的水果。新西蘭人和澳大利亞人經(jīng)常為了是誰發(fā)明了這種蛋糕而爭論，不過我很確定這個蛋糕是新西蘭人發(fā)明的!
Todd: Pavlova, uh? Is this like a snack you eat in the afternoon?
托德：巴甫洛娃蛋糕是吧?這是你們下午茶時吃的小吃嗎?
Mark: No, it's a dessert, it's the size of a cake. It would be a dessert cake.
馬克：不是，這是甜點，大小與蛋糕差不多。是甜點。
Todd: Is this something people make themselves or buy in the store?
托德：那這種蛋糕是人們自己在家做還是去商店買呢?
Mark: The best ones I think are home made. The third food is vegemite, which is a breakfast spread, a yeast based breakfast spread. Lots of non-New Zealanders who don't know it think that it looks like chocolate spread, and then they put in on their toast or bread in the morning, but it actually has a very unique taste and it's nothing at all like chocolate!
馬克：我認(rèn)為最好的是自己在家做的。第三種食物是維吉米特黑醬，是一種早餐醬，用酵母制成的早餐醬。許多不知道這種醬的非新西蘭人認(rèn)為它看上去像巧克力醬，他們會在早上把醬涂在吐司或是面包上吃，其實這種醬的味道非常獨特，跟巧克力醬完全不像!
Todd: So is it bitter? Is it sweet? Is it sour?
托德：那這種醬是苦的還是甜的?還是酸的?
Mark: It's got a very yeasty flavour but its quite hard to describe, but its another one of those New Zealand traditions.
馬克：有很濃的酵母味，味道很難形容，不過這是新西蘭的另一種傳統(tǒng)食物。
Todd: You say its made from yeast so what are the main ingredients?
托德：你剛說這種醬是用酵母做的，所以酵母是主要的配料嗎?
Mark: It's a yeast based extract so its very healthy for you: lots of minerals, and all kiwi kids should grow up on it.
馬克：主要是酵母提取物，所以這對你的健康有好處：里面含有豐富的礦物質(zhì)，所有的新西蘭小孩都是吃這種醬長大的。
Todd: Ok, sounds interesting — I'll have to give it a try.
托德：好，聽起來很有意思，我一定要嘗嘗。

Todd: So, Mark, what do Kiwis like to do in the summer?
托德：馬克，新西蘭人在夏天喜歡做什么?
Mark: Yeah, I think the first thing for some people to realise is that Christmas is midsummer in New Zealand.
馬克：我想一些人應(yīng)該首先意識到圣誕節(jié)正值新西蘭的盛夏時節(jié)。
Todd: Oh nice!
托德：哦真好!
Mark: So Kiwis combine Christmas holiday and New Year holiday with a summer vacation as well. I can remember when I was small, we'd have family Christmases and then the next day, which is Boxing Day, we'd go to the beach or we'd travel somewhere and rent a small house on the beach. They call them 'batches' in the north of the island or 'cribs' in the south island. And you just spend 4, 5 days, maybe a week, 2 weeks, just swimming in the sea, playing in the sand dunes, walks in the forest: just a really relaxing time with family and family friends.
馬克：所以新西蘭人把圣誕假期、元旦假期和夏日假期結(jié)合到一起。我記得我小的時候，我們會一家人一起過圣誕節(jié)，圣誕節(jié)后就是節(jié)禮日，我們會去海灘或者去其他地方旅行，然后在海灘上租間小房子。島嶼北部的人稱房屋為batches，而南部的人稱之為cribs。你可以在那里度過四五天，甚至是一兩周的時間，可以在海里游泳，在沙丘上玩耍，在森林里散步;和家人和朋友享受休閑時光。
Todd: That sounds nice, so you know in Australia they're really big on surfing. Do a lot of people surf in New Zealand?
托德：聽起來不錯，你知道澳大利亞人非常熱衷于沖浪。新西蘭喜歡沖浪運動的人多嗎?
Mark: There is a surfing population. I think the Australian beaches are probably much larger and maybe they have better waves, I don't know, but several of my friends used to go on surfing holidays in summer as well.
馬克：有喜歡沖浪的人。我認(rèn)為澳大利亞的海灘要大得多，而且可能那里的海浪也更適合沖浪，我不清楚，不過我的一些朋友在夏日假期也經(jīng)常去沖浪。
Todd: And what foods do people like to eat when they get together for the summer?
托德：那人們一起過夏日假期時喜歡吃什么食物?
Mark: Barbecue is almost the national obsession in summertime, you know, you'd just throw a sausage on the barbie or friends would ring up and say 'hey, it's a nice night, let's have a barbie!'. I think all my friends have their own barbecue set.
馬克：新西蘭人在夏天最喜歡的是燒烤，你可能剛剛開始烤香腸，你的朋友就會打電話來說“嗨，這是個美好的夜晚，我們?nèi)景?”我覺得我所有的朋友都有燒烤裝備。
Todd: What meats do people barbecue?
托德：人們喜歡烤什么肉吃?
Mark: Again, New Zealand foods used to very much sort of be the lamb or beef, but now it's getting a lot more varied, you can grill a nice fish on the barbecue, you can still have sausage, chicken, pork, beef, lamb, whatever you want.
馬克：我要再說一次，新西蘭食物以前基本以羊肉和牛肉為主，不過現(xiàn)在種類就很多了，燒烤時可以烤新鮮的魚類，也可以烤香腸、雞肉、豬肉、牛肉、羊肉等等，任何你喜歡的食物都可以烤。
托德：好，聽起來真不錯。謝謝，馬克。
