　　Mark: Not in a million years!

　　马克：绝不会！

　　Jingjing: Well, what was so wrong with the place?

　　京晶：为什么呀？

　　Mark: The food was a complete rip off. I paid $34 for a hamburger and a side of fries. (On top of that, the food was cold and the service was lousy.)

　　马克：那里的食物贵得离谱。我付了34美元就买了一个汉堡包和配的薯条。（最重要的是，食物还是冷的，服务也很糟糕。）

　　Jingjing: Thanks for the info. I guess we'll have to try another place then. Come on, let's go take a walk and see what's new.

　　Mark: Well, there is one, but I found it to be rather pricey. Actually, that's it, just across the street. Wanna go over and take a look?

　　马克：这附近有一家，但是我觉得他家颇有些小贵。事实上，就在那儿，街对面。想过去看看吗？

　　京晶：行。真是个可爱的小地方。哈，门口就放着菜单呢……嗯，价格还不错。

　　Mark: Yeah, for each item, it's within reason. When I ate here, I had to order three main dishes, because each one is pretty small. You kinda have to go all out.

　　马克：是的，每道菜价格还是合理的（不过分）。我上次在这儿吃的时候，我必须得点三个主菜，因为每份分量都挺少的。你差不多得必须放点血。

　　Jingjing: You mean just a pasta dish wouldn't be enough for one person?

　　京晶：你是说一份意大利面食不够一人吃吗？

　　Mark: Not even close. You'd feel embarrassed ordering so little, and nowhere near full afterward.

　　马克：远远不够。点这么一小份你也会觉得挺尴尬的。吃完以后一点都不饱。

　　Jingjing: Hey, the tiramisu is about the same price as anywhere else.
