茜：嗯，我上了个泰式烹饪的课程，学习如何做泰国美食。

茜：我可能记不太清楚了，不过我很喜欢那个烹饪课程。
Ruth: What was the course like?
鲁斯：那个课程都教些什么？
Akane: Well, it was really interesting actually. They picked me up first thing in the morning and drove me to an outdoor market where they sold all kinds offruits and vegetables and meats and spices and it was a kind of market where only the local people would go and they introduced me to a lot of different kinds of herbs and spices and fruits and vegetables that I've never even seen before so that was really interesting, and then they took me to the kitchen which was actually an outdoor kitchen right by a beach so I got to do cooking right in front of a beach it was very beautiful.
茜：实际上非常有意思。他们早上会先来接我，然后开车送我去卖各种水果、蔬菜、肉类和辣椒的露天市场，那是只有当地人会去的那种市场，他们给我介绍了许多种我以前从来没见过的草药、辣椒、水果和蔬菜，真的很有趣，之后他们带我去了一个厨房，那是一个在海滩边上的露天厨房，我要在海滩前面烹饪，那场景真的很美。
Ruth: Wow.
鲁斯：哇。
Akane: I was really lucky that day because I was the only student. It was still a new company that just opened up so I was the only student and so I got a lot of attention. There were two teachers that taught me how to do all these things and there was a lot of extra time at the end so they even taught me how to do fruit carving. I made leaves out of cucumber and flowers out of papaya fruit and things like that.
茜：我很幸运，因为我是那天唯一一个学生。那是家新公司，所以只有我一个学生，我自然受到了很多关注。有两个老师教我如何烹饪这些食材，后来我们还有富余时间，于是他们就教我水果雕刻。我把黄瓜雕刻成树叶，把木瓜雕刻成花朵，大概就是这样。
Ruth: That sounds fantastic.
鲁斯：听起来好神奇。
Akane: It really was.
茜：的确是。
Ruth: And do you ever cook Thai at home now?
鲁斯：你现在在家里还会做泰国食物吗？
Akane: Ah, unfortunately I don't, but maybe if I have some time I might try it.
茜：很可惜我现在不做了，如果我有时间我可能会试着做做的。
Ruth: Good.
鲁斯：好的。
