（单词翻译）

Yang Li: So Derm, what's your favourite food?

Diarmuid: Hmmm, Pizza.

Yang Li: Nice. Do you eat it often?

Diarmuid: Oh, as often as possible Li.

Yang Li: But do you know how to make it, where to find the best ingredients¹ for it, where the best place to eat it is, and the history of the dish?

Diarmuid: Well I… no, I can't say I know that much.

Yang Li: Well, in that case, you're not a foodie.

Diarmuid: I suppose you're right. A foodie, F.O.O.D.I.E. is a person who not only enjoys eating food, but is also fascinated² by everything about it.

Yang Li: 今天的地道英语单词就 foodie, 这个词用来表示一个热爱并精通食品的人 – 比如去哪家餐馆能吃到最佳特色菜，还有做某道菜所需要的最好配料，甚至连某道菜的来历都了如指掌。

Diarmuid: Are you a foodie Li?

Yang Li: Well I do love food - don't we all? But I wouldn't say I’m a foodie. 只有在一个人把食品作为一种专长的时候才可以被形容为一位美食家 a foodie.

Diarmuid: Listen to this person talking about food – you could say he is a foodie.

Example:

A: I finally booked a table at the new Spanish restaurant. There's a three-month waiting list, you know.

B: Really? You have to wait three months?

A: Yes, but I really have to go there. It’s run by this amazing chef who creates wonderful organic³ sauces. He used to work in a famous French restaurant, but has just opened his own place. I can't wait.

B: Well, enjoy it!

Yang Li: (To listeners) 收音机前的听众朋友，你是不是一位美食家呢？Are you a foodie?

Diarmuid: Or do you just love food?

Yang Li: 说到美味佳肴嘛，我们大家都喜欢，不过你是不是愿意作出额外的努力去研究菜谱?

Diarmuid: You know what Li? I might not be a foodie, but all this talk of food is making me…

Yang Li: Hungry?

Diarmuid: Oh yes. Lunch!

Yang Li: 今天的节目就要收场了，以便出去找点吃的东西。

Diarmuid: Bye.

Yang Li: Bye.
