烹饪时使用药草和香料

Gisela: That smells wonderful!

吉塞拉：闻起来好极了!

Danny: This is my family’s recipe. The secret is in the combination of seasonings we use.

丹尼：这是我家的食谱。秘诀在于将我们使用的所料混合。

Gisela: I can see that. You must have 30 different dried and fresh herbs and spices on this counter.

吉塞拉：我能看出来。你们里面一定有30种不同的干的以及新鲜的香草和香料。

Danny: To get a bold flavor, we use a lot of aromatic seeds, barks, and roots.

丹尼：为了让味道浓一些，我们会添加大量的芳香的种子、树皮还有树根。

Gisela: How much do you put in of each one?

吉塞拉：你每种放多少量啊?

Danny: Precise measurements aren’t really necessary. I put in a pinch of this and a dash of that. I add them to taste.

丹尼：没必要精确测量。我会这个放点，那个放点。然后尝尝。

Gisela: So getting the recipe wouldn’t do me any good, huh?

吉塞拉：所以这个食谱对我来说没有什么帮助是吗?

Danny: I’m afraid not. I learned how to make this in my mother’s kitchen.

丹尼：也不是。我在妈妈的厨房学的。

Gisela: Would you teach me if I volunteered to be your apprentice, doing all of your prep work?

吉塞拉：如果我自愿当你的助手，帮你做所有的准备工作，你愿意教我吗?

Danny: That depends.

丹尼：看情况吧。

Gisela: On what?

吉塞拉：看什么情况?

Danny: On how quick you are with this potato peeler.

丹尼：你削土豆皮的速度。
