dialogue
time to call it a day. maggie and lucas are talking what to eat for dinner.
下班了，麦琪和卢卡斯正在商量晚上吃什么。
maggie: do you have any plans for dinner tonight?
麦琪：你打算好今天晚饭吃什么了吗？
lucas: no, i was thinking of putting a frozen pizza in the oven. what about you?
卢卡斯：还没，我正在考虑弄个冷冻披萨放进烤箱里加热。你呢？
maggie: maybe we can make dinner together tonight. what do you think?
麦琪：咱们今晚可以一起做饭。你觉得怎么样？
lucas: i'm utterly ignorant of cooking!
卢卡斯：我对做饭一窍不通啊！
maggie: i can teach you how to cook something healthy. frozen pizza is so bad for you! recently i have just learned how to cook steamed crabs. do you like it?
麦琪：我可以教你怎样做健康饮食。冷冻披萨对你没有一点好处! 我最近刚学会做清蒸蟹。你喜欢吃吗？
lucas: of course. i like seafood. i can hardly believe that you can cook steamed crabs. do you have all the ingredients?
卢卡斯：当然，我喜欢吃海鲜。我简直不敢相信你竟然会做清蒸蟹。材料都有吗？
maggie: i bought all the ingredients this morning. so let's start!
麦琪：我今天早上买的。咱们现在就开始吧。
lucas: what do we do first?
卢卡斯：第一步先干什么？
maggie: first, we need to scrub the crabs with a brush. and then pour some water in the pan. when the water is boiling, follow ginger, basil, crabs. you can also sprinkle some ginger and basil on the crabs.
麦琪：首先需要用刷子将蟹洗净。然后在平底锅里倒些水。水开后放入姜、罗勒叶、大闸蟹，蟹上也可以撒一点姜和罗勒叶。
lucas: oh, that's not complex.
卢卡斯：哦，这样不是很复杂。
maggie: then use a cotton rope to tie the crabs' feet and steam them for 12 minutes. when crabs turn red, almost ready. very simple, right?
麦琪：然后用棉线把蟹腿绑起来，蒸12分钟。当蟹变红了，就差不多好了。很简单，对吧？
lucas: yeah, it's much easier than i thought.
卢卡斯：是呀，比我想象得简单多了。
