壹蘋派生活美語　想了解外國？去一趟當地超市吧！

S: Sally　　P: Peter

Sally and her friend, Peter, are in their hotel room in a foreign country. They are discussing what they will do later.

S: Hey, Peter. Since we have some free time later, how about we visit the local supermarket?

P: The supermarket? Why would we go there? We should be out sightseeing or trying out local restaurants.

S: Think about it. The supermarket is where everyday life happens. You get to see what sauces and spices locals use, the kinds of fish they sell, and all the fruits and vegetables you’ve never seen before. It’s like experiencing their culture through food.

彼　得： 超市？我們為什麼要去那邊？我們應該在外面觀光或嘗試當地餐廳。

莎　莉： 你想想看。超市是日常生活發生的地方。你能夠看到當地人用什麼醬汁及香料、他們賣什麼種類的魚，以及所有你之前從未見過的蔬果。這就像透過食物來體驗他們的文化。
