Ordering

点冰淇淋
小薇：我之前从没见过这么多种冰淇淋。真不知从何点起。
侍者：试试看我们的漂浮沙士。一杯沙士里放香草冰淇淋。
小薇：我不喜欢沙士。但这个看起来不错。蛋卷冰淇淋浸融化的巧克力。
侍者：那是我们的招牌产品。除了那个，还有香蕉船也是。
小薇：我要提拉米苏口味的冰淇淋浸巧克力，上面洒碎花生。
侍者：威化饼甜筒还是一般甜筒？
小薇：当然是威化饼。
重点解说：
★ float (n.) 漂浮，一种在汽水里加入冰淇淋的冷饮。root beer float则是在沙士（root beer）里加冰淇淋
★ cone (n.) 圆锥，ice cream cone即为‘甜筒’，waffle cone是以‘格状薄脆饼’waffle做成的甜筒，regular cone则为一般饼干做的甜筒
★ dip (v.,n.) 浸，沾。这里也当名词，是‘浸巧克力酱的甜筒冰淇淋’
★ house specialty 本店特别产品，即‘招牌（菜）’
★ banana splits 香蕉船，一种冰淇淋的花式吃法，把香蕉放在长型浅盘中，放上冰淇淋、鲜奶油及巧克力酱等配料
★ crushed (a.) 压碎的
★ sprinkle (v.) 撒
★ for sure 当然 | |

Over time, however, we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves. People who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need to create a facade to impress other people. They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others.
然而，随着时间的推移，我们开始有机会去学习认同自己。懂得如何认同自己的人，表明对自己的真实能力有信心；他们觉得没有必要去制造假象，让自己给其它人留下深刻印象。他们所关心的只是自己的行为能否产生有价值的结果，而不在乎别人会怎么看他们。 | |
