PETS－2每日对话练习321

　　Back at the apartment
　　Holly: The turkey's stuffed and has been cooking for about three hours.
　　Yi-jun: OK, and that's asparagus and that's cranberry sauce, but what's that?
　　Holly: Candied yams. With lots of butter and brown sugar and marshmallows on top.
　　Yi-jun: Wow, you made a ham, too? Why is it covered with pineapple slices?
　　Holly: That's decoration. It's a honey ham with a sweet glaze. Those whole cloves are keeping the pineapples on the ham.
　　Yi-jun: It all looks delicious, Holly. What can I do to help?
　　Holly: Finish the deviled eggs. Then baste the turkey!

　　回到公寓
　　荷莉：火鸡填好作料并烹调三小时左右了。
　　怡君：好，那是芦笋，那是小红梅酱，但那是啥？
　　荷莉：蜜番薯。上面盖满许多奶油、红糖和棉棉糖。
　　怡君：哇，你也做了一条火腿？为什么外皮要覆满菠萝片？
　　荷莉：那是装饰。这是加上糖汁的蜜汁火腿。这么多丁香是为了让菠萝弄在火腿上。
　　怡君：全都看起来好好吃，荷莉。我可以帮上什么忙呢？
　　荷莉：把芥末蛋弄完。然后在火鸡上涂肉汁。
