常用英语情景会话“食客”

　　Jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，学英语的好网站，就会来求教她。今天常用英语情景会话是方方要问的：食客。

　　FF：Jessica, 今晚跟我去吃饭怎么样？

　　Jessica: 好啊! 吃什么!

　　FF: 吃正宗的湖南菜，怎么样？Look, this is the restaurant I'm talking about.

　　Jessica: Hmm, I've never heard of this restaurant. Are you sure its food is authentic?

　　FF: Authentic? 什么意思？

　　Jessica: Authentic is spelled a-u-t-h-e-n-t-i-c, authentic的意思是“切实的”，“地道的”。 For example, authentic Chinese food 就是地道的中餐。（注意收藏常用英语情景会话中的词汇解析哦） 

　　FF: 哦! 那authentic American English就是“地道美语”，对过错？

　　Jessica: 没错! 对了, You haven't answered my question yet--why are you so sure that restaurant serves authentic Hunan cuisines?

　　FF: 因为这是一个特别会吃的友人推荐的。他可是个老饕，或者叫食客，专门能发现一些不起眼，然而顺便道的餐馆。对了，这种食客在美语里要怎么说呢？

　　Jessica: We call those people foodies. F-o-o-d-i-e, foodie refers to someone who loves everything there is to know and learn about food. You can rely on their picks of restaurants.

　　FF: My friend is totally a foodie! He took me to a small eatery last week, and the food there was terrific!

　　Jessica: Wow, you must have pigged out!

　　FF: Pig out?

　　Jessica: To pig out means to eat a lot until you're really full.

　　FF: 哦，to pig out就是甩开腮帮子狂吃! Sometimes I like to go to KFC to pig out!

　　Jessica: Watch your waistline, Fangfang!

　　FF: 哈哈，I will. 不过话说那天我跟这个友人去吃饭，本来打算pig out, 可是我这个人啊，英语免费学习网站，总是眼大肚子小，学习英语的网站，没吃多少就饱了，唉! 真不争气! 眼大肚子小你懂吧？

　　Jessica: You mean you have big eyes and a small belly? Are you saying you're good-looking?

　　FF: 哈哈! No. “眼大肚子小”就是 you want to eat a lot, but your belly can't take all the food.

　　Jessica: I see. There's a similar expression in English: your eyes are bigger than your stomach.

　　FF: 原来“眼大肚子小”是 eyes are bigger than stomach. Jessica, please make sure I don't eat anything before tonight's dinner. I want to pig out on great Hunan food.

　　Jessica: 哈哈，别光想着吃，还是先说说，今天都学了什么。

　　FF: 好，今天咱们从常用英语情景会话中学了：表示隧道，用authentic; 会吃的食客，老饕，是foodie,大吃大喝是to pig out; “眼大肚子小”则是eyes are bigger than stomach.
