字號:

Trev: I can make better ice cream than this.
     Wei: You can make ice cream?
     Trev: Yeah. It's easy. All you need is ice, salt, cream, milk and sugar.
     Wei: So you just put it all together and bam, you have ice cream, right?
     Trev: Wrong. You have to put it into an ice cream maker. Old-style ones were operated with a hand crank.
     Wei: That sounds tiring.
     Trev: It's kind of fun. Everybody has to do a little cranking if they want some ice cream.
     崔佛:我可以做出比這個更好吃的冰淇淋。
     小薇:你會做冰淇淋?
     崔佛:是啊。很簡單。只需要冰、鹽、鮮奶油、牛奶和糖。
     小薇:所以全部加在一起,然后砰一聲,冰淇淋就好了,是吧?
     崔佛:錯。需要把材料放進冰淇淋制造機。早期的機器是靠一支把手操作。
     小薇:聽起來很累。
     崔佛:還蠻好玩的。每個想吃冰淇淋的人都得來搖兩下把手。
     重點解說:
     ★ and bam... (做某些事)然后碰一聲,(某樣東西)就變出來了。表示某樣東西得來太容易
     ★ operate (v.) 操作
     ★ hand crank 可搖動旋轉(zhuǎn)的把手,crank在這邊是名詞,crank當動詞用時表示「搖把手」
     ★ tiring (a.) 讓人疲倦的
