Salesperson: Hello there, welcome to Wine World. Let me know if I can help you out at all. 你好，欢迎来到酒的世界。有什么可以帮助的吗？

Customer: Um, yes, please, I could really use some help. I'm going over to my boss'house for dinner tonight and don't know what kind of wine I should bring. 嗯，是的，确实需要你的帮助。今晚我要去老板家里做客，但是不知道带什么酒比较合适。

Salesperson: OK, do you know what kind of food will be served? 好的，你知道你的老板会招待你们喝什么吗？

Customer: Well, his wife is Japanese. He said she makes really good sushi. 嗯，他的妻子是日本人。他说她做的寿司很好吃。

Salesperson: Hmm, that's a bit of a challenge. Sushi is notoriously difficult to pair with wine. Well, let's see. have to be a white wine, of course. 嗯，那会有点挑战。众所周知寿司很难和酒搭配。嗯，让我想想，当然必定是白酒。

Customer: Why? Wouldn't a red wine go well with sushi? 为什么？没有红酒可以和寿司搭配的吗？

Salesperson: No, I don't think so. Sushi is a very delicately flavored food, and red wine would be a jarring contrast. You need a white wine, which has more subtle flavors, to complement the fish. 不，我不认为。寿司是调味精致的食物，红酒会和它构成强烈的对比。你需要一点白酒，和鱼搭配起来味道会很好。

Customer: I see. So should I get a bottle of Chardonnay? That's a white wine, right? 我知道了。我应该买一瓶雪当利，那是白酒，对吗？

Salesperson: Yes, Chardonnay is a white wine, but I'm not sure it'd be your best bet. Chardonnay is one of the more fullbodied whites, and tends to be a bit oaky. I'd suggest that you go for something brighter, like this Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. 是的，雪当利是一种浓烈的酒，还行吧。我建议你买一些淡一些，比如来自新西兰的白苏维浓。

Customer: Sauvignon Blanc? What's that? 白苏维浓，那是什么？

Salesperson: That's another varietal, or type of grape, just like Chardonnay. 那是用一种葡萄酿制的葡萄酒，葡萄酒的一种，就像雪当利。

Customer: Let's see. The label says it's got "attractive citrus and grassy aromas that give way to crisp, mineral flavors and a bonedry finish. Serve chilled." Oh, no, how long will it take to chill the wine? I'm on my way to the dinner now. 让我看看，标签上写着有具有魔力柑橘和甘草香气，非常松脆的，有矿物的味道，并且是全干的，适宜冰镇后食用。

Salesperson: It's OK, don't worry, we'll just choose a wine from the cooler. We don't have quite as extensive a selection over here, but...this Rhone Valley white would be lovely. 好的，不用担心，我们只是从冰箱里面选择一瓶酒。我们没有很多的选择，但是……罗纳河白酒很不错。

Customer: All right. What varietal is that? 好吧，是用什么酿成的？

Salesperson: Well, this is a French wine, so they don't always specify the varietal on the label. The French believe that the soil a grape is grown in is one of the most important factors in the final flavor of the wine. This wine is probably a blend of a few different types of grapes, mostly Viognier, I'd guess. 嗯，这是法国酒，因此他们不明确地标注是由什么酒酿造的。法国人认为葡萄生长的土地是酒最终味道的最重要因素之一。这种酒是不同葡萄在一起酿成的，我觉得最多的是维欧尼。

Customer: And you think this is a good wine? 你觉得这是好酒吗？

Salesperson: Yes, this is one of our best-sellers. It's not quite as dry as the Sauvignon Blanc we were looking at earlier, which means it's more approachable. It's light and crisp, with a bit of a vanilla aroma. 是的，这是最畅销的就。它不像我们之前看到的索维农葡萄那样那么干，它更加容易入口。它又轻又脆，带有一点香草的香气。

Customer: Perfect! I'll take it! 太好了！我就买这个了！
