Dialogue 1
Jingjing: There you are, Mark. You're a little early?
京晶：你已经来啦，马克。你来的早了点儿吧？
Mark: Only a few minutes. I can play with my phone until you're finished up. You've had lunch already, right?
马克：早来了几分钟而已。等你完事时，我可以玩玩手机。你吃完午饭了，是吧？
Jingjing: No. I lost track of the time and missed the chance to go to the cafeteria.
京晶：没有啊。我忘记了时间，错过了去餐厅。
Mark: Really? Don't be such a workaholic, Jingjing? It's not like you to neglect your health.
马克：真的吗？工作可别太拼命了！京晶，忽视健康可不是你的风格。
Jingjing: I know. I know. What did you have?
京晶：我知道，我知道。你午餐吃的什么？
Mark: Um, actually, I made a slow start this morning and haven't had anything to eat yet.
马克：嗯，实际上，我今天早晨起得很晚，动作也慢，到现在还什么都没吃呢。
Jingjing: We're both in the same boat, then. How about we order something?
京晶：那我们是彼此彼此了。那，不如点些外卖吧？
Mark: Have you tried Kingdom Crisp? That's the new salad chain. They deliver.
马克：你在Kingdom Crisp这家店吃过吗？是一家新开的沙拉连锁店。他们有外卖。
Jingjing: I saw that at the shopping mall. Is it any good?
京晶：在购物中心见到过。这家店还不错吧？
Mark: I only tried it once—a Caesar salad with chicken. I'm pretty picky when it comes to Caesar salads; but I wasn't disappointed.
马克：我只吃过一次。吃的是凯撒鸡肉沙拉。我对凯撒沙拉是很挑剔的，但他家没让我失望。
Jingjing: I always worry that a salad isn't enough to make a meal.
京晶：我总是担心光吃沙拉不能叫一顿饭吧。
Mark: Hmm. Last time, I walked away not sure if I was full. But then I didn't feel hungry for several hours. That's more than I can say about most fast food.
马克：呃……上次我吃完离开的时候就觉得不怎么饱。但，几个小时后，我也没感到饿。比其他的快餐真是要好很多。
Jingjing: I guess those salad places are all the rage. They seem to be popping up everywhere.
京晶：我觉得沙拉餐厅现在非常风靡。似乎一下子就遍布大街小巷了。
Mark: Yeah, people are really getting into fresh food. You know, you get a lot of nutrients from raw vegetables that would be lost if they were cooked.
马克：是啊，人们真的开始喜欢上新鲜食物。你知道，你能够从生鲜蔬菜中获得大量营养素，烹调后，这些营养素就会丢失。
Jingjing: Right. Why don't you go ahead and order for yourself. I need a few more minutes to work. I might order something if I get an idea.
京晶：是这样的。那要不你就先给自己点一份吧。我还要工作个几分钟。等我想好了，我自己点。
Mark: Ok. That gives me time to decide what I want this time. You sure you don't want a salad?马克：好吧。正好给我时间决定这次吃点儿什么。你确定你不想吃沙拉吗？
Jingjing: I'll see what yours looks like when it comes.
京晶：等你的来了，我先看看什么样儿。

Jingjing: Ok. I'm all done with work. Hasn't your food come yet?
京晶：好啦，我的工作完成啦。你的外卖送来了吗？
Mark: It's been a long time. I'm hoping the delivery guy will call any second.
马克：已经等了好久了。我正期待快递小哥分分钟来电。
Jingjing: I ordered something already. Let's see whose lunch comes first.
京晶：我的也已经点了。我们看看谁的午餐先到。
Mark: All right. The loser has to go get hot drinks.
马克：好啊！谁输谁负责买热饮。
Jingjing: You're on! I bet you'll never guess what I ordered.
京晶：一言为定！我敢打赌你肯定猜不出我点了什么。
Mark: Don't make me play the guessing game, Jingjing. I'm too hungry to think!
马克：京晶，拜托，别总让我玩猜测游戏。我已经饿得没力气思考了。
Jingjing: Ok. I'll go easy on you. Oh, there's someone calling me now...
京晶：那好吧。不为难你了。哦，有人打电话给我……
Mark: Was it your food?
马克：是你点外卖来了吗？
Jingjing: Yeah. He's coming up the elevator now.
京晶：是啊。外卖小哥已经上电梯了。
Mark: Lucky you! I have to go downstairs to get mine. I just got the message. I'll be right back.
马克：你真幸运！我还得下楼去取我的。我刚刚收到信息。我马上回来。
Jingjing: ...See what I got?
京晶：……看看我点了什么？
Mark: No way! You got hot pot? Now the whole office smells like a restaurant.
马克：不会吧！你点了火锅？这下整个办公室全都是餐馆味了。
Jingjing: That's ok. I'll open some windows later. You want some?
京晶：没事的。我一会儿打开几扇窗户。你想吃点儿吗？
Mark: Only if you'll try this salad.
马克：行，除非你也尝尝我的沙拉。
Jingjing: Deal! Let's dig in!
京晶：就这么定了！我们开吃吧！
