2012年ESL之就医和人际交往 12 Eating Contaminated Food

（单词翻译）

Eating Contaminated Food 

Rachel: This tastes funny. 

Sergey: It’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with it. 

Rachel: It tastes like it’s tainted¹ or something. Don’t you detect a funny metallic² taste? 

Sergey: No, it’s perfectly³ fine. Just eat it. 

Rachel: I swear there’s something off about this food. I’m not eating adulterated food. There’s probably poison in here and we’re both going to die a terrible death. 

Sergey: There is nothing poisonous or toxic⁴ in this food. I made it myself. 

Rachel: Did you make sure that the milk wasn’t sour and that none of the ingredients were spoiled? I’ll probably die from botulism. 

Sergey: There’s nothing spoiled, tainted, toxic, or poisonous in this food. Are you going to eat that or not? 

Rachel: I think I’ll pass. 

Sergey: Then hand it over. I’m hungry. I’ve never met such a hypochondriac before! 

Rachel: I’m not a hypochondriac. I’m just a little paranoid...
