Adrienne: I don't think I'll cook tonight.
埃德里安娜:我想我今晚可能不做饭了 。
Todd: No, no cooking?
托德:什么,你不做饭吗?
Adrienne: No, I feel lazy today.
埃德里安娜:对,我今天有点懒洋洋的,没精神 。
Todd: So you're going to eat out?

Adrienne: Probably.
埃德里安娜:可能吧 。
Todd: Yeah, what's on the agenda? What's for dinner?
托德:你有计划了吗?晚上打算吃什么?
Adrienne: I'm not sure yet. There's a couple nice restaurants in my neighborhood so I might go and grab something to eat near here.
埃德里安娜:我还没决定 。我家附近有一些不错的餐厅,我可能就去附近吃了 。
Todd: So, are you going to go and actually eat in the restaurant or are you just gonna bring it back?
托德:你是打算在餐厅里吃还是打包带走?
Adrienne: Maybe I'll go eat at the restaurant. I don't feel like doing dishes either.
埃德里安娜:我可能会在餐厅里吃 。我也不喜欢洗碗 。
Todd: Right, well, but it's disposable, you just throw it away, right?
托德:好,不过餐厅打包提供的都是一次性的餐具,吃完以后直接扔掉就行了,不是吗?
Adrienne: Not good for the environment, Todd.
埃德里安娜:托德,这样会污染环境 。
Todd: Yeah, I know, but…. Yeah, I don't have any argument for that one.
托德:我知道,可是……对此我并没有异议 。
Adrienne: No conscience.
埃德里安娜:这是不道德的做法 。
Todd: Yeah, well, I look it this way, you know. You waste a little bit of paper, but you save water because you don't have to wash dishes.
托德:对,我是这样看的 。外出吃饭可能会浪费纸,但是你不用洗碗,所以节省了水资源 。
Adrienne: Interesting. I think the paper is more detrimental though.
埃德里安娜:这个观点很有意思 。不过我认为废纸对环境更有害 。
Todd: It's definitely not as renewable as water that's for sure.
托德:当然,因为纸不像水那样可再生 。
Adrienne: Maybe. I don't know what environmentalist would argue about that.
埃德里安娜:也许吧 。我不清楚环保人士会如何看待这件事 。
Todd: So when you go to a restaurant, what things do you look for in a restaurant that you like?
托德:你去餐厅吃饭的话,你最注重的是餐厅的什么地方?
Adrienne: Well, number one, location. They're nearby. That makes it very handy for me. I like the convenience. Two, they have to be…have an interesting menu, a diverse menu, interesting food. I like that. And, also of course be clean and relatively inexpensive. Those are all important points for me to like a restaurant.
埃德里安娜:首先是餐厅的位置 。我一般选择附近的餐厅,因为很方便 。我喜欢便利 。第二点,餐厅的菜单要新颖、丰富,要有一些有意思的食物 。我喜欢这种感觉 。当然餐厅还要干净,不要太贵 。这是我选择餐厅的主要参照 。
