At an bike shop

Dan: I want to buy a new bicycle pump.

Boss: They’re over there. Do you want some cow’s tongue?

Dan: Well, I usually have a cast iron stomach, but I think I’ll pass.

Boss: No, they’re not real tongue; they’re cookies. See?

Dan: Oh, another of those local products?

Boss: Yes. We have flattened duck, too.

Dan: That’s a duck? It looks like a Frisbee.

Boss: Where are you guys riding?

Dan: To Hualien County. Can you suggest a good road?

在脚踏车行

阿丹：我想要买一个新的脚踏车打气筒。

老板：货在那儿。要不要吃些牛舌饼?

阿丹：嗯，通常我的胃就像铁打的一样。不过，我想还是算了。

老板：不，那不是真的舌头。只是饼干， 看吧!

阿丹：喔，又是一项土产?

老板：是的。我们还有鸭赏。

阿丹：那是鸭子?看起来好像飞盘。

老板：你们一群人要骑去哪里?

阿丹：骑到花莲。你可不可以建议一条好的路线?

重点解说：

cow’s tongue 牛舌，这里是指宜兰名产‘牛舌饼’;flattened duck 则是宜兰名产‘鸭赏’

cast iron (a.) 强壮的。cast iron stomach就是‘铁胃’，指不论吃什么都没事的胃

I’ll pass. 我放弃。用来婉拒对方的邀约

local product 地方特产

Frisbee (n.) 飞盘

suggest (v.) 建议
