為什么要把電池存放在冰箱里

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論電池，
 
為什么要把電池存放在冰箱里
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So, Mary, my battery has almost ran out. I'm so glad you had some but they're cold.
 
瑪麗，我的電池快沒電了。我很高興你有電池，不過它們太涼了。
 
B: Well, I keep them in my frigerator along with several other sizes of batteries just so I have them on hand. It's a little quirky habit of mine but I always like to have backup whenever I need it so I've got into the habit of stock piling batteries and keeping them in the fridge.
 
我把它們和其他型號(hào)的電池一起放在冰箱里了，所以我有現(xiàn)成的電池可以用。這是我的一個(gè)有點(diǎn)奇怪的習(xí)慣，不過在我需要的時(shí)候我喜歡準(zhǔn)備一些備用電池，所以我就養(yǎng)成了儲(chǔ)備一些電池并把它們存放在冰箱里的習(xí)慣。
 
A: Well, it's very practical but why do you keep them in the frigerator?
 
這很實(shí)用，不過你為什么要把電池存放在冰箱里？
 
B: I read somewhere a long time ago that that's how you extend the life of batteries by keeping them cool, that and film too so I also have several canisters of film in there, too, no room for the butter but.
 
我很久以前在某個(gè)地方看到過介紹如何通過保持低溫來延長(zhǎng)電池壽命的方法，當(dāng)然膠卷也是一樣的道理，所以我也在冰箱里放了一些膠卷，不過冰箱里沒有地方放黃油了。
 
A: Do you have any food in your frigerator?
 
你冰箱里有食物嗎？
 
B: Some but it's mostly batteries and film.
 
有一些，不過大部分都是電池和膠卷。
 
A: What kind of food do you keep in your frigerator?
 
你冰箱里都有什么食物？
 
B: Right now because it's winter time, I have some oranges and actually some grapes and things so those are kind of coveted at this time of year, otherwise just the standard things. I have yogurt, milk, and some bread and I think six brusselsprouts.
 
因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在是冬季，所以我放了一些橙子，還有葡萄和類似這種在現(xiàn)在這個(gè)時(shí)候大家都想吃的食物，其他就是普通的食物了。有酸奶、牛奶、面包，還有六個(gè)小甘藍(lán)。
 
A: Just six.
 
只有六個(gè)。
 
B: Just six.
 
只有六個(gè)。
 
A: Why do you have brusselsprouts?
 
你為什么要放小甘藍(lán)？
 
B: Just got in the habit of eating them. They're really very good, so I thought well I'll keep on, just handfuls so they don't spoil.
 
只是因?yàn)槲矣谐孕「仕{(lán)的習(xí)慣。實(shí)際上它們非常好，所以我想我會(huì)繼續(xù)存，不過我只存少量的小甘藍(lán)，所以并不會(huì)變質(zhì)。
 
A: How so you prepare your brusselsprouts?
 
那你一般怎么烹飪小甘藍(lán)？
 
B: Um, I steam them for about 10 minutes or so and eat them just perfectly plain, a little salt and a little pepper, that's about it.
 
大概蒸10分鐘左右，然后基本不放調(diào)料，只放一點(diǎn)鹽和一點(diǎn)辣椒，就可以吃了。
 
A: Really, I find them a little bitter.
 
可是我覺得它們有點(diǎn)苦。
 
B: I find them a little bitter too, but the longer you steam them the bitterness kind of goes away and of course there's ways you can dissipate the bitterness with a little bit of butter or salt or seasonings too, so they're not so bad.
 
我也覺得有點(diǎn)苦，不過你蒸得時(shí)間越長(zhǎng)，那個(gè)苦味就越淡，當(dāng)然你也可以加一點(diǎn)黃油、鹽或是其他調(diào)味品來去掉那個(gè)苦味，所以味道還不算太壞。
 
A: Well, I'll have to try that.
 
好，我要做試試。
