Jingwei: Hi, I'm Jingwei.

京薇：嗨，我是京薇。

Joseph: I'm Joseph.

约瑟夫：我是约瑟夫。

Jingwei: We are both from Singapore. Today's question is: What's your favorite Chinese dish?

京薇：我们两个人都来自新加坡。今天要讨论的问题是：你最喜欢的中国菜是什么?

Joseph: Well, OK, a Chinese dinner would normally have about eight to ten courses, and out of them I guess my favorite dish would be broccoli with scallops. What about you, Jingwei?

约瑟夫：好，中式晚餐一般有8到10道菜，在这些菜中我最喜欢的是西兰花炒带子。你呢，京薇?

Jingwei: That's kind of boring, no? I like longevity noodles.

京薇：那有点儿无聊，不是吗?我喜欢长寿面。

Joseph: Longevity?

约瑟夫：长寿?

Jingwei: Yeah, it's called ei-mien. And they usually come in one long strand, one long continuous strand, and it's supposed to symbolize like never-ending life.

京薇：对，那被称为一根面。通常只有一根长面条，一根不断的长面条，这被认为是生命长青的象征。

Joseph: And I don't get that in my dinners. So I guess a shorter life for me if you believe the Chinese. I like scallops and broccoli because scallops are awesome and broccoli is just about the only vegetable I eat. So yeah, together they make a pretty good mix, and that's why it's my favorite Chinese dish.

约瑟夫：我晚餐没有吃过那个。如果相信那道中国菜的说法，那我想我的寿命可能会短一些。我喜欢西兰花和带子，因为带子非常好吃，而西兰花是我唯一吃的蔬菜。两种食物一起炒非常美味，所以这是我最喜欢的中国菜。
