美语情景对话 第1289期:Do you prefer to cook or eat out? 你喜欢做饭吃还是去外面吃饭?

Diego: Hello, this is Diego from Mexico.

迭戈：大家好，我是迭戈，来自墨西哥。

Elena: And Elena from Bulgaria. Today's question is do your prefer to cook or eat out?

埃琳娜：我是埃琳娜，来自保加利亚。要讨论的问题是：你喜欢做饭吃还是在外面用餐？

Diego: I have to say I prefer to cook. The reason why is because I really know what I like to eat and sometimes I have these really specific cravings so everything that I want to eat, I just go the supermarket, buy it, and then mix it into something, and then it turns out to be really good because I put in all the ingredients that I wanted to eat in the first place.

迭戈：我不得不说，我更喜欢做饭吃。因为我非常清楚自己喜欢吃什么，有时我有非常想吃的食物，我想吃什么的话，我就会去超市购买食材，然后回来自己做，味道非常不错，因为我把一开始我想吃的所有配料都放进去了。

Elena: And usually it's a lot healthier, too.

埃琳娜：通常在家做饭吃也更健康。

Diego: Yeah. Besides being healthier, it's also cheaper and the portions are bigger and sometimes you can have leftovers for the next day for lunch of something like that, so I don't know. I guess if you're a student and you put all of this factors together, I guess the answer is really simple. It's better to cook.

迭戈：对，除了更健康之外，费用也更便宜，份量很大，有时剩下的菜可以做第二天的午饭，要怎么说呢……我认为，如果你是学生，把所有这些因素都考虑进去的话，那答案就很简单了。显然做饭吃更好。
