ESL杰夫的一天 第29期:吃早餐讲解(4)

 　　I say in the story that "I would love to have ham and eggs for breakfast every morning." 我在故事中说：“我很想每天早上都能吃火腿和鸡蛋。”

　　Ham is a type of meat that comes from a pig; it usually has a lot of salt in it. 火腿是一种来自猪身上的肉；它通常很咸。

　　Another kind of meat that's popular in the morning for breakfast is bacon¹, "bacon," which is also meat that comes from a pig. 另一种早上很受欢迎的肉是培根（bacon），它也是来自猪身上的肉。

　　It is long and thin usually; it's cut to be long and thin. 一般它又长又薄；因为它切得又长又薄。

　　Eggs are the things that come from chickens—or does the chicken come from the egg? I'm not sure. 是鸡生蛋——还是蛋生鸡？我不太确定。

　　Anyway, we have ham and eggs, which is a very popular American breakfast. 不管怎样，我们吃火腿和鸡蛋，它们是美国广受欢迎的早餐食物。

　　Many people in the United² States eat what we would call a very heavy breakfast, meaning there's lots of fat and there's lots of food. 很多美国人会吃所谓的“非常丰富的早餐”，意思是早餐里含有大量脂肪和多种食物。

　　In some countries, this is not done, but in the United States it's very common for people to have eggs and ham for breakfast. 而有的国家，早餐不是这样的，但在美国，人们早上普遍吃鸡蛋和火腿。

　　My father used to have eggs every morning for breakfast before he went to work. 以前每天早上，我父亲上班前都要吃鸡蛋。

　　Well, I say, "I would love to have ham and eggs for breakfast every morning, or maybe a stack³ of waffles." 嗯，我说，“我很想每天早上都能吃火腿和鸡蛋，要么一堆华夫饼也行。”
