Yes sure, so when Americans think of food, we think a lot of different food over the world, because America is a country of immigrants. We come from all over the place, our families are from Europe, Mexico, Asia and our families bring our foods to the United States. So when Americans think of what they want to eat, they don’t usually just think of, er, I just want to eat the local food, they go, today let’s have Italian, tomorrow Iet’s have Mexican, later let’s have Chinese or Japanese and so on.
Well, at home, it really would depend on the family, for a typical family dinner, it’s not uncommon for a lot of Americans to vary their diet. So, growing up, in my household, we had Italian like spaghetti and lasagna some nights; other nights, we had Mexican, tacos and things like that; Other times we would have what’s considered traditional, I guess British/American kind of roast potatoes and vegetables.
上面英语是节选电台英文小酒馆的一期有关美国人食物的讨论，翻译如下：
是的，当然，所以当美国人想到食物时，我们会想到世界上很多不同的食物，因为美国是一个移民国家。我们来自四面八方，我们的家人来自欧洲、墨西哥、亚洲，我们的家人把我们的食物带到美国。所以当美国人想到他们想吃什么的时候，他们通常不会只想到，呃，我只想吃当地的食物，他们说，今天吃意大利菜，明天吃墨西哥菜，晚些时候吃中国菜或日本菜等等。
嗯，在家里，这真的要取决于家庭，对于一个典型的家庭晚餐来说，很多美国人改变他们的饮食并不少见。所以，从小到大，在我家里，我们有时晚上吃意大利面和千层面；有些晚上吃墨西哥、墨西哥玉米饼之类的东西；其他时候我们吃被认为是传统的东西，我想是英国/美国式的烤土豆和蔬菜。
我今晚聆听这电台节目，才似乎真的有点了解美国人的饮食。在我眼里，美国人日常就是吃汉堡与薯条为主。上面被采访的美国男子的回答真的令人惊讶。
