E: Eileen T: Thomas
Eileen is visiting the United States, and she was invited to join Thanksgiving dinner with her friend Thomas and his family.
E: Wow! There is so much food on the table.
T: Of course, it’s Thanksgiving. Eating until you’re stuffed is what it’s all about.
E: That turkey is huge, and the stuffing smells really good!
T: The stuffing is my favorite part. Have you ever had homemade cranberry sauce?
E: No, but I’ve always wanted to try some.
T: My mom makes the best cranberry sauce. Be sure to try the cornbread and sweet potato casserole, too.
E: I’ll have two of each. What’s this dish covered with cheese?
T: That’s my sister’s green bean casserole. It’s so good but really filling.
艾琳正到訪美國,她受邀和她朋友湯瑪斯及其家人共進感恩節晚餐。
艾 琳: 哇!桌上有好多食物喔。
湯瑪斯: 當然,今天是感恩節啊。感恩節就是要吃到撐。
艾 琳: 那隻火雞好大,而且裡面的填料聞起來真香!
湯瑪斯: 填料是我最愛的部分。妳有吃過手工製的蔓越莓醬嗎?
艾 琳: 沒有,但我一直很想試試看。
湯瑪斯: 我媽媽做的蔓越莓醬是最好吃的。妳也務必要嚐嚐玉米麵包和番薯砂鍋。
艾 琳: 我每樣菜各拿兩個。這道蓋滿起司的菜是什麼?
湯瑪斯: 那是我姊姊做的四季豆砂鍋。它超好吃但也很有飽足感。
