How do you like the boiled beef in chili¹ soup?

你觉得刚才的水煮牛肉怎么样?

山姆:

I love the tender beef, but it's far too spicy². I can't feel my tongue.

牛肉很嫩.我很喜欢。但是这也太辣了.我舌头都麻了。

周清:

No wonder you only had a little bit.

难怪你只吃了一点。

山姆:

So Sichuan food in China is different from that in the US, right?

原来中国的川菜和我在美国吃的不一样啊，对吗?

周清:

Right. The overseas Chinese food isn't as authentic³ as real Chinese food.

可不是嘛。国外的中餐一般都不正宗。

山姆:

Having Sichuan food in China is like a taste adventure. I'll tell my tongue to be careful.

在中国吃川菜就像冒险。我得告诉我的舌头小心点。

周清:

We may need to get something for your tongue now. You seem still hungry.

看来得给你的舌头找点吃的。你貌似没吃饱。

山姆:

Thank you. Some bread will do.

谢谢你。吃点面包就好了。
