零食可是办公室里不可缺少的小点哦。看看Brian 和 Mary是怎么谈论吃零食的吧。
Brian: Would you like to have some ice-cream? I’ve got a variety of flavors for you to choose from. I’ve got strawberry, peach, chocolate, coffee, vanilla and praline.
布莱恩:要吃冰淇淋吗?我这有好多口味让你挑,有草莓的、桃的、巧克力的、咖啡的、香草的,还有果仁的。
Mary: Wow! What choices you have! I wish I could, but I just can’t. I’m on a diet to lose weight.
玛丽:哇,这么多种!要是我能吃就好了,可是不行啊,我在节食减肥呢。
Brian: Come on, it’s just a bite. It doesn’t really hurt to have just a bite.
布莱恩:哎呦,就咬一口嘛,不会影响你减肥的啦。
Mary: I’d better not. Please don’t tempt me. Please!
玛丽:我还是不吃了。求你了,别勾引我。
Brian: Gee! You are really strong-willed.
布莱恩:哈,你意志还真坚定啊。
Mary: You’re damn right. I’m not so easily coaxed into doing something that I think is wrong.
玛丽:没错。想勾引我做不好的事不是那么容易的。
Brian: Well, I’d better not tempt you. Otherwise, if I give you a piece of cake, you might ask for a glass of milk.
布莱恩:那我还是不勾引你了。要不然你该得寸进尺了。
