Dialogue Script 2

对话原文 2

Jenny: The turkey's stuffed and has been cooking for about three hours.

Sam: OK, and that's asparagus and that's cranberry sauce, but what's that?

Jenny: Candied yams. With lots of butter and brown sugar and marshmallows on top.

Sam: Wow, you made a ham, too? Why is it covered with pineapple slices?

Jenny: That's decoration. It's a honey ham with a sweet glaze. Those whole cloves are keeping the pineapples on the ham.

Sam: It all looks delicious, Jenny. What can I do to help?

Jenny: Finish the deviled eggs. Then baste the turkey!

(An hour later, as people begin to arrive)

Jenny: Help yourselves to the spinach dip and other appetizers. We can eat in about thirty minutes.

Sam: Can we put the rolls on now?

Jenny: Sure can. And it's time to get dad to come carve the turkey for us.

Sam: I'll finish whipping the mashed potatoes!

Jenny: We can set the table, too. I just wish we had good china to serve on.

Sam: Don't worry. No one came here for the fancy dishes!

副标题#e#

讲解：

1. Jenny在厨房里忙的热火朝天，Sam进来帮她的忙。火鸡已经填好了作料，而且已经烤了3个小时了。stuff做动词表示“填充，装满，例如：His head is stuffed with silly notions. 他满脑子的愚蠢想法。那么在烤火鸡时塞在火鸡肚子里的面包、蔬菜等“填料就叫stuffing。
