1、 好吃的
好吃的東西一入口,你就可以說 Yum真好吃!
另外,形容“美味”的詞還有:
tasty, yummy, scrumptious, mouth-watering, toothsome, luscious, delectable, savory, marvelous. (Note: tasty is mild and common; yummy, scrumptious, mouth-watering, and toothsome are all colloquial; luscious, delectable and savory are more educated; marvelous is educated speech)
例,Just thinking of all that yummy food makes my mouth water. 光想到那些可口的食物我就會口水直流。
2、 難吃的
吃到很難吃的東西,第一個反應就是 Yuck! 或是 It's yucky. 記得說這個 yuck 的時候要拖的長長的,像是 yuuuuuuuck ,聽起來才會像。另外跟 yucky 很像的一個詞叫 icky ,也是難吃的意思。所以下次再吃到什麼不好吃的東西時,不妨大聲地說 Yuuuuuuuuuck! 或是 Iiiiiiiiicky!
另外,For food that tastes not so good, we have some other expressions like "an unsavory meal" (一頓難吃的飯) and "disgusting, gross, and nauseating food". 其中,"unsavory" (難吃的) is very polite English; "disgusting" (令人厭惡的) is harsh but commonly-used; "gross" is very popular teen speech; "nauseating" (令人作嘔的) is a very strong word.
例1, Take those gross noodles away! 把那些惡心的麵條端開!
例2, The food in our dining hall is the pits!我們食堂的東西難吃極了。
Here, "pits" is an adjective very popular with teens and 20-somethings, meaning "the worst". For example, "That apartment the company gave me to live in is the pits, no bathroom, a tiny kitchen, and no air conditioner." (公司提供的公寓糟糕透了,沒有洗手間,廚房隻有巴掌大,還沒有空調)
例3, The bread tastes like cardboard.這種麵包味同嚼蠟。
“buns with cardboard stuffing(紙箱餡包子)”的假新聞大家還有印象吧,taste like cardboard是英語裏一個常用的表達,用來形容不好吃的食物。
3、 其他
(1)形容味道“正宗”。Although it tastes all right, it's slightly different from the authentic or typical flavor.
例,The fish hotpot here is not authentic Sichuan cuisine.這兒的水煮魚不是正宗的四川菜。
(2)表示“吃飽了”。
例,I am up to my ears.吃的太飽,滿到耳朵了。
一般情況下如果要說吃飽了,可以說 I am stuffed. 或是 I am full. 但是有時候為了強調真的太飽了,就可以說I am up to my ears. 就jiu是shi說shuo吃chi下xia去qu的de食shi物wu都dou已yi經jing滿man到dao耳er朵duo了le。通tong常chang老lao美mei說shuo這zhe句ju話hua的de時shi候hou,還hai會hui加jia上shang動dong作zuo,就jiu是shi用yong手shou在zai耳er朵duo旁pang劃hua一yi條tiao線xian,表biao示shi已yi經jing滿man到dao這zhe了le。同tong樣yang的de,這zhe句ju也ye可ke以yi說shuo成cheng I am up to my throat. 和我們漢語的“滿到嗓子眼了”一樣的意思。
