47. Fast-food Talk第47课 速食趣谈Though it is generally accepted that junk food is not healthful, American fast-food restaurants are popping up all over the world.虽然大家都普遍承认垃圾食物并无益于健康，但是美式快餐馆却如雨后春笋般在世界各地流行起来。These restaurants are for people who are always in a rush.这些餐馆是针对总是在赶时间的人而诞生。If they don't have time to sit down to a regular meal, they race over to the nearest McDonald's.如果他们没有时间坐下来好好吃顿饭，他们就会赶到最近的麦当劳。There they can quickly satisfy their hunger.在那儿，他们可以很快地填饱饥饿的肚子。Because Americans like things done immediately, they often order their food quickly at fast-food restaurants.因为美国人做事喜欢快刀斩乱麻，他们在快餐店里点餐通常也很迅速。They say, "A burger, fries and a coke!"他们会说：“一个汉堡包，一份炸薯条和一杯可乐。”though it's not polite, it's efficient.这种说法虽然并不礼貌，却很有效率。So when you are in the States, try to order this way.所以当你在美国的时候，试着用这种方式点餐吧。After all, in America do as the Americans do.毕竟，在美国就应该要像美国佬那样做。
