Chen Li: 大家好，我是陳鸝。我們這個節(jié)目，是要帶領(lǐng)大家去參觀了解倫敦最有名的景點(diǎn)和一些令人流連忘返的地方。 So where are we today Finn?

Finn: Well, today we've come to London's East End, to a very famous lane. It's a place, where you can find a real mix of different things - authentic curry...

Chen Li: 原汁原味的咖喱。

Finn: The latest funky fashion designs…

Chen Li: 最時髦的流行時尚設(shè)計(jì)。

Finn: And even a beach!

Chen Li: 甚至還有沙灘。

Finn: Today we’re in Brick Lane.

Chen Li: Brick Lane 布里克巷。 Brick 的意思是磚頭，磚塊，這里原來是生產(chǎn)制作磚塊的地方。 But did I hear you say curry Finn? 恩，我想我聞到香料食品的美味了。

Finn: Brick Lane is the heart of London's Bangladeshi community.

Chen Li: 這里的很多居民都是來自印度的鄰國孟加拉 Bangladesh.

Finn: And there over 60 curry restaurants on both sides of the lane with some mouth-watering South Asian dishes.

Chen Li: 這里有很多讓人流口水的南亞洲美食。

Finn: Are you feeling hungry Chen Li?

Chen Li: 我可以待一會兒再吃，不過現(xiàn)在我倒是先想去看看這里的商店。 Finn, I'm sure you can wait until dinner!

Finn: Well, yes, I guess I can wait for my curry! Let's go into this shop here and have a look at what a young designer called Jessica is selling.

The colour of the bag is red and it's got individual little ponies on it, and they're all in bright primary colours which attract one's eye. It's a square bag and it's got a little handle on it, and it's got a zipper that goes all the way round like a sandwich.

Chen Li: 這個手袋很時髦，正好可以裝我的化妝品。 Jessica 說這個手袋有不同的小馬駒圖案， little ponies 小馬駒；全部是主色調(diào)的 primary colours.

Finn: It also has a little handle...

Chen Li: 有一個小提手。

Finn: And a zipper...

Chen Li: 拉鏈。

Finn: Which goes all the way round. So it looks like two square slices of bread, one on top of the other – almost like a sandwich.

Chen Li: I think it's great! 我要去買一個。

Finn: Now you've got your sandwich-shaped bag Chen Li, can we go and eat?

Chen Li: 說實(shí)話，購物之后，我現(xiàn)在最想的就是放松一下，在陰涼的地方來一杯飲料是最好不過了。

Finn: Well, I know the perfect place. Fancy a drink on the beach?

Chen Li: How can you have a beach in the middle of a city?

Finn: Well, Brick Lane is home to London's first city beach, with real sand imported from Jamaica...

Chen Li: 從牙買加進(jìn)口的沙粒。

Finn: And big shady palm trees...

Chen Li: 還有遮蔭的棕櫚樹。

Finn: And it has a bar selling refreshing cold drinks. Andrew is a regular to the beach, and explained why it has become so popular.

Insert

People come here, they like to have a drink of beer, sit down in the sun on a deckchair, get that beach feel, and there's music playing in the background as well. It's open to families as well. Often Sunday mornings you'll get parents bringing down their kids.

Chen Li: Andrew 說人們到這里來體驗(yàn)沙灘的感覺。 The beach feel 是一個十分口語的表達(dá)。中間的詞語也可以用其他的詞來替代 ，描述一種類似的感覺。

Finn: Yes, you could say, for example, a really new kitchen has a modern feel, or you could say the restaurants in Brick Lane have a very authentic feel.

Now finally we can eat some tasty curry. I want some Chicken Tikka Masala!

Chen Li: 聽起來不錯，那么咱們就找家餐館，嘗嘗它的美味。我可是要問問服務(wù)員 Tikka Masala 究竟是什么食品。

Insert

Tikka Masala is a medium spice curry, it comes with barbequed chicken lamb or prawn, it depends what you want it with. And then they do it with the sauce, gravy sauce with medium spice, creamy, bit of coriander, coconut cream.

Chen Li: Tikka Masala 不是很辣 a medium spice curry, 是由烤肉制成的，比如雞肉，羊肉，還有對蝦，當(dāng)然還少不了調(diào)味的辣醬； The sauce is creamy, 調(diào)味醬是糊狀的，同時還有香菜 coriander, 椰奶 coconut cream, 哎呀，我有些迫不及待了。

Finn: Curry is so popular in the UK that some people now call it the national dish.

Chen Li: 英國國餐。你的意思是說，如今它已經(jīng)取代了英國有名的炸魚暑條，排在了第一位?

Finn: Well, actually I still enjoy fish and chips! That's all for this week’s 'On the Town' from BBC Learning English.

Chen Li: 希望大家通過和我們一起游覽 Brick Lane, 并且學(xué)到了更多有用的詞匯和表達(dá)。

Finn: Don't forget you can visit our website any time to help you improve your English.

Chen Li: 是的，地址是 www.bbc.co.uk/china, 然后點(diǎn)擊 Learning English.

Finn: Bye.

Chen Li: See you next time. Bye!
