在国外吃饭是用到英语最多的地方,也是检验你的英语是否地道的好机会。外国人都很喜欢吃披萨,但是你是否了解地道的美国人是如何点披萨的?马上来学习几句,以备不时之需吧! 1. PLAIN OR CHEESE? 1、原味还是芝士? Plain meaning without toppings is New York-area vernacular while outside New York such a pizza would be referred to as cheese. 在纽约地区方言里,用plain(原味)一词表达不加馅料的披萨;;纽约之外,说这种披萨则要用cheese(芝士)一词。 2. PIECE OR SLICE? 2、一块还是一片? Speaking of slices, in New York you can say, "I'm getting a slice," and people will know what you're talking about. However, elsewhere "piece of pizza" is preferred, and if you say "slice," you'll need to qualify it with "of pizza." 说到是一片片的披萨(slices),在纽约你可以说I'm getting a slice(我要片披萨),大家就知道你什么意思了。但在其它地方,你要说piece of pizza(一片披萨),你要是说slice(一片)的话,就要说清楚是“披萨”。 3. PIE OR PIZZA? 3、派还是披萨? While to east coasters, it might feel perfectly natural to say "pie" when referring to a whole pizza, not so for those in other regions. "Pie" was described by west coasters as "pretentious" and "only something someone in a movie would say". |
