純正地道美語第322期(外教講解):聖誕節後的剩飯

A: What's for dinner?

晚餐吃什麼？

B: Leftovers.

剩飯。

A: What? Leftovers of what and from when?

什麼？什麼剩飯，什麼時候的？

B: From last night! I took the left over turkey, mixed it with some diced peppers and onions, added a little bit of mayonnaise and made some sandwiches!

昨晚剩下的有切碎的辣椒和洋蔥的火雞，還有一些蛋黃醬，可以做些三明治。

A: Isn't that dangerous though? I mean bacteria and germs reproducing on food that was left out or re-heated?

這麼久了，還能吃嗎？我是說放這麼久，即使加熱，細菌還是會繁殖的。

B: Well, I didn't leave the turkey out at room temperature for more than a an hour and I refrigerated it soon after we finished eating. Also, when reheating, I put it in the oven for fifteen minutes at one hundred degrees Celsius.

嗯，我們把火雞放在室溫下超過了一個小時，我們吃完後就放進了冰箱。後來，放在100攝氏度的微波爐里加熱了15分鐘。

A: Well OK, I am just afraid of getting food poisoning.

嗯，好的，我只是擔心會食物中毒。

B: Don't worry about it! Making a new meal out of leftovers is almost an art! Not only do you save money, but you also get to be creative and have something different to eat!

不用擔心！用剩飯剩菜重新做新的食物簡直就是藝術！這樣不僅可以省錢，還可以讓你學會創新，有不同的東西可以吃！
