英語應(yīng)該這樣說:情景口語話題薈萃 Chapter 12 The Delicacy of China
You：你聽說過滿漢全席嗎？Have you ever heard about Man Han Chuan Xi at all?
David：I am not sure. What was it like?不大清楚。能告訴我嗎？
You：In the Qing Dynasty the court invented a special type of cuisine for the royal family, which included many elaborate dishes at one meal. It is called Man Han Quan Xi. 在中國清朝時(shí)期，宮廷里發(fā)明了一種包括很多道菜的美宴，稱做“滿漢全席”，不過只有極少數(shù)皇族才能夠享用。
David：Sounds good. Let's go have some now. 聽起來不錯(cuò)呀。我們現(xiàn)在就去吃。
You：It's practically impossible now because there are probably only a few people in the world who know how to make it. They say it takes three to four days for them to make just one meal. 恐怕不行?，F(xiàn)在，也許只有少數(shù)幾個(gè)人會(huì)做。據(jù)說做一次得花三四天的時(shí)間。
David：It's very time consuming. 那的確很浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。
You：我覺得確實(shí)有少數(shù)人能吃到，但大多數(shù)人沒有這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)的。
David：It's a fast paced world today. People don't have time to cook for five days for a meal.這是一個(gè)快節(jié)奏的社會(huì)。人們不可能花上五天時(shí)間去準(zhǔn)備一頓飯。
You：這還不是最根本的問題。由于滿漢全席菜肴種類繁多，程序復(fù)雜，所以大部分人根本就不知道是怎么做的。That's not the problem. The problem is that most people don't know how to cook it because there are so many kinds of dishes.
