Bring It On! 上菜吧!
[Tricia takes her American friend Steve to eat seafood. Before they eat, they choose their dishes.]
Steve: Wow, everything is still 1)alive!
Tricia: That’s right. We like to see our seafood swimming before we eat it.
Steve: That’s a good way to know it’s fresh!
Tricia: Bingo! Say, do you like oysters?
Steve: Yes, but not 2)raw.
Tricia: [Orders fried oysters] How about fried noodles?
Steve: Sounds great! What are those?
Tricia: Those are sea urchins. We’ll 3)pass on those.
Steve: Good idea.
翠西雅帶美國朋友史蒂夫去吃海鮮,在用餐前點菜。
史蒂夫:哇,都是活的耶!
翠西雅:對啊,我們把海鮮吃下肚前,喜歡看到它們游來游去。
史蒂夫:這是確保新鮮的好方法!
翠西雅:答對了!對了,你愛吃牡蠣嗎?
史蒂夫:愛啊,不要生的就好。
翠西雅:(點了炸蚵仔)要來盤炒麵嗎?
史蒂夫:聽起來很棒!那些是什麼?
翠西雅:是海膽,那個就免了。
史蒂夫:好主意。

| fresh、alive、raw比一比 |
fresh、alive、raw比一比
fresh是「新鮮的」、alive是「活生生的」、raw是「生的,沒煮過的」。活的(alive)東西一定是沒煮過的(raw),也保證新鮮(fresh);但raw的東西不一定新鮮,fresh的東西不一定是活的,大家可別搞混囉。

要試試我們的新鮮鮭魚嗎?
These live oysters are delicious !

Have you eaten raw beef before ?
