Todd: OK, so Shona, what did you do this morning?
託德:夏娜,你今天上午做什麼了?Shona: This morning? So far today, I went to the supermarket and bought some muesli. Had my breakfast, which was the first muesli I've had in a few weeks, so I was quite enjoying that, and then I went to Ikea of all places and done a spot of shopping and bought like really cool cushion with embroidered birds on it, and then I went for a jog like just recently, and I've been cleaning my room also.
夏娜:今天上午嗎?今天,我先去超市買了什錦麥片。然後回家吃早餐,這是我這幾個星期以來第一次吃什錦麥片,所以我很享受,之後我去宜家購物了,我買了繡有小鳥圖案的靠墊,靠墊非常舒服,然後我像往常一樣去慢跑了,之後我還整理了房間。Todd: OK, pretty busy day. So let's go back to the muesli. Now for people that don't know muesli, what is muesli?
託德:好,你這一天真忙。我們來説一下什錦麥片。可能有人不知道那是什麼,什麼是什錦麥片?
Shona: Muesli consists of pieces of oat and dried fruits and also like flakes of corn and it's just a bit of mixture of these things.
夏娜:什錦麥片裏有燕麥片,水果乾和玉米片,什錦麥片就是把這些食物混合在一起。Todd: Now, you eat it with milk?
託德:是搭配牛奶一起吃嗎?Shona: Yeah, you have it with milk, or some people who are a bit crazy have it with orange juice.
夏娜:對,和牛奶一起吃,有些人會搭配橙汁一起吃,這有點瘋狂。Todd: Get out of here. Seriously?
託德:不可能吧。你説真的嗎?Shona: No, they do, yeah, orange juice. Orange juice in their muesli.
夏娜:對,的確有人配橙汁。用橙汁搭配什錦麥片。Todd: Is that like for vegetarians and vegans?
託德:素食主義者會這麼搭配嗎?Shona: No, I think it's just people enjoy the taste of orange juice and muesli. Or maybe they're allergic to milk.
夏娜:不是,我覺得有人喜歡橙汁和什錦麥片搭配在一起的味道。或者可能他們對牛奶過敏吧。Todd: Oh, could be. Could be. Actually, you said you went to a furniture store.
託德:哦,對,可能是這樣。你説你去傢俱店了。Shona: Yeah, there is like a big one.
夏娜:對,一間很大的傢俱店。Todd: Ah, so what did you buy?
託德:那你買什麼了?Shona: I bought a massive cushion, pillow thing, which is all embroidered. It's very cute and I also bought, like a bed cover for my bed. It's orange, and I was looking for some ferry lights actually, but they didn't seem to have any so I was a bit disappointed by that.
夏娜:我買了一個大靠墊,上面繡滿了圖案。看上去非常可愛,我還買了一個牀單。我買的是桔色的牀單,其實我本來想買彩燈,不過那裏沒有,我有點失望。Todd: I'm sorry. What?
託德:抱歉,你剛説什麼?Shona: Ferry lights.
夏娜:彩燈。Todd: I don't know what that is.
託德:我不知道那是什麼。Shona: It's like a really long strand of wire and it's just got lots of tiny lights of it, like randomly, so you've have saw them like Christmas tree lights.
夏娜:就是長長的線上有許多小燈,很隨意的那種,就像聖誕樹彩燈一樣。Todd: Ah, right.
託德:我,我知道了。Shona: You have them on your Christmas tree. I kind of like them. I just like them in my room.
夏娜:可以把它們掛在聖誕樹上。我喜歡這種燈,我想掛在我房間裏。Todd: Well, that's pretty cool.
