美語情景對話 第1289期:Do you prefer to cook or eat out? 你喜歡做飯吃還是去外面吃飯?

diego: Hello, this is Diego from Mexico.

迭戈：大家好，我是迭戈，來自墨西哥。

Elena: And Elena from Bulgaria. Today's question is do your prefer to cook or eat out?

埃琳娜：我是埃琳娜，來自保加利亞。要討論的問題是：你喜歡做飯吃還是在外面用餐？

Diego: I have to say I prefer to cook. The reason why is because I really know what I like to eat and sometimes I have these really specific cravings so everything that I want to eat, I just go the supermarket, buy it, and then mix it into something, and then it turns out to be really good because I put in all the ingredients that I wanted to eat in the first place.

迭戈：我不得不說，我更喜歡做飯吃。因爲我非常清楚自己喜歡吃什麼，有時我有非常想吃的食物，我想吃什麼的話，我就會去超市購買食材，然後回來自己做，味道非常不錯，因爲我把一開始我想吃的所有配料都放進去了。

Elena: And usually it's a lot healthier, too.

埃琳娜：通常在家做飯吃也更健康。

Diego: Yeah. Besides being healthier, it's also cheaper and the portions are bigger and sometimes you can have leftovers for the next day for lunch of something like that, so I don't know. I guess if you're a student and you put all of this factors together, I guess the answer is really simple. It's better to cook.

迭戈：對，除了更健康之外，費用也更便宜，份量很大，有時剩下的菜可以做第二天的午飯，要怎麼說呢……我認爲，如果你是學生，把所有這些因素都考慮進去的話，那答案就很簡單了。顯然做飯吃更好。
