利娅：我们两个是好姐妹。我想问你的问题是，在你们国家男性做饭普遍吗？
Santi: Well, I will answer from my family perspective. No, it's not common in our family to have a man cook in our kitchen cause it will cause a mess and well, especially, my father he loves to cook, he wants to cook but our mother says no directly because when he cooks when he prepares all of the things he tends to make the kitchen dirty and we have to clean it later on so no.
桑蒂：我从我们家的角度来回答。在我们家男性下厨并不普遍，因为让他们做饭会弄得一片狼籍，我爸爸喜欢做饭，他想做饭，可是我妈妈会直接拒绝他，因为他在准备做饭时会把厨房弄得很脏，然后我们还要进行清理，所以妈妈不让他做饭。Lia: So that's the point of your family. What about in our country?
利娅：那是你家里。那我们国家的情况呢？Santi: I think maybe younger people, younger families use to do it but for the older couples, I think no. Right?
桑蒂：我认为男性做饭在年轻一代和年轻家庭中比较普遍，不过在年龄较大的夫妻中间不常见。对吧？Lia: Yes, that's right.
利娅：对，没错。
