情景对话
Nabeel: Actually, I remember that one time you had a party and you made that really nice pumpkin dip.
纳比尔：我记得你有次办派对时，做过非常好吃的南瓜调味酱。
Ginger: Oh, yeah, that's a popular one. Everyone loves that when I make it.
金格：哦，那很受欢迎。所有人都喜欢我做的那个。
Nabeel: What do you need for it?
纳比尔：需要什么材料？
Ginger: It's really easy. All you need is one can of canned pumpkin, one eight ounce block of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and few spices.
金格：非常简单。你只需要一罐南瓜罐头，一块8盎司重的奶油干酪，糖粉还有一些调味料。
Nabeel: Is it easy to make?
纳比尔：做法简单吗？
Ginger: It is. You just let the cream cheese melt a little, and then you blend it together with the pumpkin and the powdered sugar, and then after you get that really smooth and creamy, then you put in the nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon.
金格：简单。你只需要让奶油干酪融化，然后和南瓜以及糖粉搅拌在一起，让它变得光滑细腻，然后加入肉豆蔻、姜和肉桂皮。
Nabeel: Wow, that sounds yummy.
纳比尔：哇，听起来好好吃。
Ginger: It is. It's great. And then I usually put a few cinnamon sticks in for appearance and serve it with ginger snaps and with green apples cut into slices. It's good with both of those.
金格：没错，味道非常棒。然后为了美观，我一般会放一些肉桂棒，搭配上姜汁饼干和绿色的苹果切片食用。非常美味。
Nabeel: Cool, I'm gonna try that sometime. What else can you make?
纳比尔：太酷了，有机会我一定要做试试。你还会做什么？
Ginger: Well, like I said, I'm not much of a cook, so I don't cook much. I put things together. You know what, I have a blender and I do a lot of smoothies. I love making smoothies. I buy the fruit. And then keep the fruit in the freezer. That's the trick. You've got to freeze the fruit, and then you don't need ice so it doesn't taste watered down. So you take the frozen fruit. Put it in the blender, and then you just mix it with yogurt, or fruit juice and it's delicious.
金格：我说过，我不太擅长做饭，所以我不常做饭。我就是把一些食物混合起来。我有一个搅拌器，我经常做冰沙吃。我喜欢做冰沙。我把水果买回来以后放进冰箱里。这是个小诀窍。你要把水果冷冻起来，这样不用加冰块，水果尝起来也不会缺少水分。要把水果冷冻起来。然后把冷冻的水果放进搅拌器里，和酸奶或果汁一起搅拌，味道好极了。
Nabeel: What kind of fruit do you like to use?
纳比尔：你喜欢用什么水果做冰沙？
Ginger: Well, my favorite is just really simple. It's just frozen strawberries, frozen banana, orange juice, and a little honey if you want, but you don't even need the honey, and then I have another I like with mango and papaya and pineapple and yogurt.
金格：我最喜欢的非常简单。就是冻草莓、冻香蕉和橙汁做的冰沙，还可以加一些蜂蜜，不过不一定要加蜂蜜，我还喜欢用芒果、番木瓜、菠萝和酸奶做的冰沙。
Nabeel: Well, between you smoothie and pumpkin dip and my eggplant curry we can throw quite a party.
纳比尔：有了你的冰沙和南瓜调味酱，还有我的茄子咖喱，我们可以开个派对了。
Ginger: Let's do it. We'll have it on your rooftop with your cats.
金格：我们这么做吧。我们可以在你家屋顶开派对，你的猫也可以参加。
Nabeel: Sounds like a good idea.
纳比尔：这主意听起来不错。
