The script of this programme 本节目台词

Neil: Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English, I’m Neil.

Li: And I’m Li. Neil what are you drinking? Neil 喝的饮料听上去很提神，很诱人啊！

Neil: Ah yes it is, Li. It’s so fruity and refreshing.

Li: What kind of juice is it?

Neil: Oh it’s not juice, it’s a smoothie.

Li: A smoothie?

Neil: Yeah, a smoothie. The fruit is blended rather than squeezed.

Li: Oh I see. A smoothie 就是把新鲜水果搅碎制成的一种饮料，这和挤压的果汁不一样。

Neil: And it sometimes has ice, ice cream or yoghurt in it too. Try it Li.

Li: Oh thank you. Oh it’s delicious. 里面还有冰淇淋和酸奶，真好喝！

Neil: How would you describe the texture?

Li: Well, it’s very thick and… smooth.www.examｗ.com

Neil: Exactly. And that’s where the name comes from.

Li: 口感吗？滑滑溜溜的，用英语形容就是 smooth, 这就是为什么人们叫它 smoothie. 汉语中有人把它音译为思慕雪或鲜果奶昔。

A: Right, who wants a drink? I fancy a cup of coffee.
B: Yeah but it’s way too hot for coffee. Can I have one of those smoothies?
A: Oh that’s an idea. I think I’ll have one too, if I have enough money.
