生活英語情景口語:我現在開始吃素了...

W: would you like to come over for dinner tonight?
A: sure, but I have to tell you that I've become a vegetarian. I don't eat any kind of meat.
W: when did you decide to become a vegetarian?
A: I saw a program a few months ago about how animals are raised for human consumption. I haven't been able to eat a single piece of meat since.
W: that's great. Do you find that you eat a lot more fruit and vegetables now?
A: definitely. I've also been buying organic fruit and vegetables, which is more expensive, but much better for you because they don't have any pesticides on them.
W: you've really turned into a health nut, haven't you?
A: I guess you could say that. Eating fruit and vegetables helps keep you healthy. I've lost 5 pounds and I feel great!
W: how do you get enough protein in your diet?
A: well, I eat a lot more tofu, beans, nuts and some fish.
W: well, don't worry about dinner. I'll only make vegetarian dished for you. Do you like sushi?
A: I prefer cooked fish to raw fish, but if you really like it, make it.
W: how about a spicy sofu and vegatable stir-fry?
A: that sounds great. What time should I come over?
W: dinner will be ready at about 7:30 pm, so you can come over at 7 pm.
A: sounds good. See you there!

你今晚過來吃晚飯嗎？
好啊，但是我得告訴你我現在開始吃素了。我不吃任何肉類食品。
你什麼時候決定開始吃素的？
幾個月前我看了一個節目講的是爲了向人們供應肉食，動物們是如何被飼養的。在那以後我再也吃不下一片肉了.
這太好了。你有沒有發現你現在吃的水果和蔬菜都比以前多了？
一點沒錯。而且我現在開始買有機水果和蔬菜了，雖然價格貴了不少，但是對你的健康要好得多，因爲上面沒有農藥。
你真是開始變成一個保養迷了，是吧？
我想你說對了。吃水果和蔬菜有助於保證身體健康。我已經減掉了5磅，感覺真是好極了。
那你怎麼保證飲食中的營養呢?
嗯，我會吃更多的豆腐，豆類，堅果和魚。
不用擔心晚飯的事。我會專門爲你製作素食的。你喜歡吃壽司嗎？
我比較喜歡吃做熟的魚而不是生魚，不過如果你真的喜歡的話，就做吧。
辣豆腐炒青菜怎麼樣？
聽起來好極了。我幾點過去合適？
晚飯7點30做好，你可以7點鐘過來。
好的。到時候見。
