Saturday, November 15th, 2008

他们的冰淇淋来了
小薇:哇,这个好好吃喔!外面这层巧克力好脆喔。
保罗:你最好吃慢一点。
小薇:没办法。吃这个会上瘾的。
保罗:我的也是。他们甚至在里面加了椰子肉。
小薇:噢。我的头开始痛了。
保罗:我早就叫你吃慢一点。现在你吃冰吃到头痛了。
小薇:我的眼睛跟鼻子都结冻了。呜……
保罗:把嘴闭起来用鼻子呼气。会好一点。
小薇:我真该吃慢一点,但实在太好吃了。

They are served
Wei: Wow, this is so delicious! The chocolate coating is so crunchy.
Paul: You’d better slow down.
Wei: But I can’t. It’s addictive.
Paul: So’s mine. They even put pieces of coconut into it.
Wei: Oh. My head is starting to hurt.
Paul: I told you to slow down. Now you’re getting a brain freeze.
Wei: My eyes and nose are frozen. Ohh…
Paul: Close your mouth and breathe out of your nose. That helps.
Wei: I should slow down, but it’s so good.
