Daniel: Grandpa, this restaurant looks really old! How long ago was it built?

Grandpa: I'm not sure when it started. But I know it's older than me. As a young boy, I used to eat here a lot.

Daniel: Oh, it's interesting. Dad told me you brought him here when he was young, too. Now, it's my turn.

Grandpa: Yeah. We are the VIP customers here. So, what do you want to eat today?

Daniel: I'd like to eat a hamburger and a bottle of coca-cola.

Grandpa: Hey, kid, that's wrong. It's a Chinese restaurant. Let's eat something traditional.

Daniel: Then there is nothing particular I'd like to eat. Grandpa, what's your favorite here?

Grandpa: The Chinese rice pudding. Your father loves it, too. You wanna try?

Daniel: Sure. Is it sweet?

Grandpa: Yes, of course. But I think they can make you a salty one, too.

Daniel: Great, I want it spicy.

Grandpa: Come on. Don's go too far.

Daniel: I want it to be special. And you know that I always like hot food.

Grandpa: OK then. We shall ask them to put some red chilli on it.

Daniel: I'm sure I'd like that.

Grandpa: I hope so.

丹尼爾: 爺爺，這個餐廳看起來好舊啊。它建成多少年了啊?

爺爺: 我不是很確定它是什么時候開張的。但我知道它比我還老呢。我小的時候，就經(jīng)常來這里吃東西的。

丹尼爾: 哦，真有趣。爸爸告訴過我他小的時候您也常常帶他來這里?，F(xiàn)在，輪到我了。

爺爺: 是啊。我們可是這里的貴賓啊。那么，你今天想吃點什么呢?

丹尼爾: 我要吃一個漢堡包和一瓶可樂。

爺爺: 嗨，孩子，別弄錯了。這是中餐廳。我們得吃點傳統(tǒng)的食品。

丹尼爾: 那我就不知道有什么特別想吃的了。爺爺，您最喜歡這里的什么呢?

爺爺: 八寶粥。你爸爸也很喜歡的。你想嘗嘗嗎?

丹尼爾: 當(dāng)然了。它是甜的嗎?

爺爺: 是啊，當(dāng)然了。但是我覺得他們也可以給你做一碗咸的。

丹尼爾: 太好了。我還要辣的。

爺爺: 哎呀。別太過了。

丹尼爾: 我就想要點特別的啊。而且您知道我一直喜歡辣味的食物啊。

爺爺: 那好吧。我們就叫他們給你往里面加點辣椒。

丹尼爾: 我確定我一定會喜歡的。

爺爺: 希望如此。
