主題：taste（味道）1

Let’s begin this lesson by looking at the commonly confused words?taste?and?flavor.?讓我們從經(jīng)常容易混淆的單詞taste和flavor開始這節(jié)課。

句子1：The word?taste?is often used as a verb, so you can say that a food?tastes good?or?tastes bad.?If you want to be a little more extreme in your description, you can say that a food?tastes divine/heavenly?(for an extremely good taste) or?tastes gross/disgusting?(for an extremely bad taste).?

知識點：

1.?taste：味道

2.?tastes good：味道很好

3.?tastes bad：味道很差

4.?tastes divine/heavenly：味道極好；太美味了

5.?tastes gross/disgusting：味道非常糟糕；太難吃了

中文翻譯：

taste（味道）這個詞經(jīng)常用作動詞，所以你可以說一種食物味道很好，也可以說味道很差。如果你想在描述中更極端一點，你可以說食物嘗起來很好（指非常好的味道）或嘗起來很惡心（指非常糟糕的味道）。

句子2：Another expression is “it tastes funny” – that means it tastes unusual, with a negative connotation. For example, “This milk tastes funny – it might be past its expiration date.” It’s very common to say that something?tastes like?something else: “I had frog’s legs once –?they tasted like chicken.”?

知識點：

1.?it tastes funny：它嘗起來很奇怪

2.?tastes like：味道像，嘗起來像.....

3.?they tasted like chicken：它們嘗起來像雞肉

中文翻譯：

另一個表達是“它嘗起來很奇怪”——這意味著它嘗起來不尋常，帶有負面含義。舉個例子，“這牛奶味道怪怪的——可能過期了?！罢f一種東西嘗起來像另一種東西是很常見的：“我曾經(jīng)吃過青蛙腿——它們嘗起來像雞肉?！?/p>

句子3：The word?flavor?is typically used as a noun. We can say something has a?nutty, fruity, cheesy, minty, or salty flavor?to compare the flavor to another food (nuts, fruit, cheese, etc.) You can also use the word taste as a noun – for example: “This wine has?a fruity taste / fruity flavor.”?

知識點：

1.?flavor：味道；滋味；風味

2.?nutty?flavor：堅果味

3.?fruity?flavor：水果味

4.?cheesy?flavor：奶酪味

5.?minty?flavor：薄荷味

6.?salty flavor：咸味

7.??fruity taste / fruity flavor：都表示水果味

中文翻譯：

flavor（味道；滋味；風味）這個詞通常用作名詞。我們可以說某樣東西有堅果味、水果味、奶酪味、薄荷味或咸味，來比較另一種食物（堅果、水果、奶酪等）的味道。你也可以把taste這個詞用作名詞——例如：“這款酒有果味/果味?！?/p>
