今天的这段对话，在讨论厨房，

来听今天的讲解:
Beginner
A: can you give me a hand with some things in the kitchen? I don’t think I can finish everything in time.
你能帮我拿一下厨房里的东西吗？我不认为我能及时完成所有的事情。
B: ok, what do you want me to do?
好的，你想让我做什么？
A: first of all, I need you to do the drying up. I’m almost finished the washing up. I’m going to clean the cooker when I finish.
首先，我需要你帮我擦干。我差不多洗完了。洗完后我要把锅打扫干净。
B: ok. I’ll put the plates and cutlery away as I dry them. Where is the tea towel? Oh, here it is.
好的。我把盘子和餐具放好，等我擦干。茶巾在哪里？哦，在这儿。
A: we’ll have this finished in no time with two if us working on it.
如果我们努力的话，我们很快就能完成这件事。
B: while you’re cleaning the cooker, I’ll wipe the worktop. That was a great meat, by the way.
你打扫炊具的时候，我来擦台面。顺便说一句，那是块很棒的肉。
A: actually, it was just some leftovers from yesterday. I made far too much food to eat alone. I am glad you could come over to help me finish it.
事实上，这只是昨天的剩菜。我做的食物太多了，一个人吃不完。我很高兴你能过来帮我吃完。
B: my pleasure! This tea towel’s a little ragged. Do you have another one?
我很高兴！这条茶巾有点破旧。你还有另一条吗？
A: yes. Look in that drawer. I should throw the old one out.
是的。看看那个抽屉。我应该把旧的扔掉。
B: keep it and use it as rag. You can clean your bicycle with it.
把它留着当抹布用。你可以用它擦自行车。
Intermediate
A: so, what’s new in the kitchen? That refrigerator is new, isn’t it?
那么，厨房里有什么新鲜事？那台冰箱是新的，不是吗？
B: yes. I needed a large one. Before, I had a separate refrigerator and freezer, but this has both combined into one.
是的。我需要一个大的。以前，我有一个单独的冰箱和冰柜，但现在两者合二为一了。
A: That’s usual nowadays. You’ve added a few shelves too.
这是现在的惯例。你也增加了一些货架。
B: yes. You know I’ve been cooking more kind of food recently and I needed some extra space for spices and ingredients.
是的。你知道我最近做了更多种类的食物，我需要一些额外的空间来放香料和配料。
A: Did you buy new cupboards too?
你也买了新橱柜吗？
B: no, I didn’t. I gave them a really good clean, so they just look new. The worktop was in poor condition, so I had a new one added.
不，我没有。我把它们洗得很干净，所以它们看起来很新。台面状况很差，所以我加了一个新的。
A: I see that you have bought several new pots and pans and utensils.
我看到你买了好几只新的锅碗瓢盆和餐具。
B: yes, I have. I need them to help me with these new dished I’m trying to make. I need a little more practice before I invite guests over.
是的，我有。我需要他们帮我做这些新菜。在邀请客人过来之前，我需要多练习一下。
A: looking at the spice rack, I’d say you’ve been learning how to make asian food.
看着调料架，我想你一直在学习如何制作亚洲食物。
B: yes. I’ve always likes Indian and thai food, so I’ve been trying to make dishes from those countries. I’m pretty good at making curries now, but I still need practice at making thai food.
是的。我一直喜欢印度和泰国菜，所以我一直在尝试做那些国家的菜。我现在很擅长做咖喱，但我仍然需要练习做泰国菜。
A: both kinds of food are becoming popular. Nowadays, it’s very easy to pick up the ingredients at the supermarket.
这两种食物都越来越受欢迎。如今，在超市里很容易就能买到食材。
B: I hope you can stay for dinner. I need a guinea pig!
我希望你能留下来吃晚饭。我需要一只豚鼠！
