A Hello there, welcome to Wine World. Let me know if I can help you out at all. 你好，歡迎來(lái)到酒的世界。有什么可以幫助的嗎?

B Um, yes, please, I could really use some help. I'm going over to my boss'house for dinner tonight and don't know what kind of wine I should bring. 嗯，是的，確實(shí)需要你的幫助。今晚我要去老板家里做客，但是不知道帶什么酒比較合適。

A OK, do you know what kind of food will be served? 好的，你知道你的老板會(huì)招待你們喝什么嗎?

B Well, his wife is Japanese. He said she makes really good sushi. 嗯，他的妻子是日本人。他說(shuō)她做的壽司很好吃。

A Hmm, that's a bit of a challenge. Sushi is notoriously difficult to pair with wine. Well, let's see. have to be a white wine, of course. 嗯，那會(huì)有點(diǎn)挑戰(zhàn)。眾所周知壽司很難和酒搭配。嗯，讓我想想，當(dāng)然必定是白酒。

B Why? Wouldn't a red wine go well with sushi? 為什么?沒(méi)有紅酒可以和壽司搭配的嗎?

A No, I don't think so. Sushi is a very delicately flavored food, and red wine would be a jarring contrast. You need a white wine, which has more subtle flavors, to complement the fish. 不，我不認(rèn)為。壽司是調(diào)味精致的食物，紅酒會(huì)和它構(gòu)成強(qiáng)烈的對(duì)比。你需要一點(diǎn)白酒，和魚(yú)搭配起來(lái)味道會(huì)很好。

B I see. So should I get a bottle of Chardonnay? That's a white wine, right? 我知道了。我應(yīng)該買(mǎi)一瓶雪當(dāng)利，那是白酒，對(duì)嗎?

A Yes, Chardonnay is a white wine, but I'm not sure it'd be your best bet. Chardonnay is one of the more fullbodied whites, and tends to be a bit oaky. I'd suggest that you go for something brighter, like this Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. 是的，雪當(dāng)利是一種濃烈的酒，還行吧。我建議你買(mǎi)一些淡一些，比如來(lái)自新西蘭的白蘇維濃。

B Sauvignon Blanc? What's that? 白蘇維濃，那是什么?

A That's another varietal, or type of grape, just like Chardonnay. 那是用一種葡萄釀制的葡萄酒，葡萄酒的一種，就像雪當(dāng)利。

B Let's see. The label says it's got "attractive citrus and grassy aromas that give way to crisp, mineral flavors and a bonedry finish. Serve chilled." Oh, no, how long will it take to chill the wine? I'm on my way to the dinner now. 讓我看看，標(biāo)簽上寫(xiě)著有具有魔力柑橘和甘草香氣，非常松脆的，有礦物的味道，并且是全干的，適宜冰鎮(zhèn)后食用。

A It's OK, don't worry, we'll just choose a wine from the cooler. We don't have quite as extensive a selection over here, but...this Rhone Valley white would be lovely. 好的，不用擔(dān)心，我們只是從冰箱里面選擇一瓶酒。我們沒(méi)有很多的選擇，但是……羅納河白酒很不錯(cuò)。

B All right. What varietal is that? 好吧，是用什么釀成的?

A Well, this is a French wine, so they don't always specify the varietal on the label. The French believe that the soil a grape is grown in is one of the most important factors in the final flavor of the wine. This wine is probably a blend of a few different types of grapes, mostly Viognier, I'd guess. 嗯，這是法國(guó)酒，因此他們不明確地標(biāo)注是由什么酒釀造的。法國(guó)人認(rèn)為葡萄生長(zhǎng)的土地是酒最終味道的最重要因素之一。這種酒是不同葡萄在一起釀成的，我覺(jué)得最多的是維歐尼。

B And you think this is a good wine? 你覺(jué)得這是好酒嗎?

A Yes, this is one of our best-sellers. It's not quite as dry as the Sauvignon Blanc we were looking at earlier, which means it's more approachable. It's light and crisp, with a bit of a vanilla aroma. 是的，這是最暢銷(xiāo)的酒。它不像我們之前看到的索維農(nóng)葡萄那樣那么干，它更加容易入口。它又輕又脆，帶有一點(diǎn)香草的香氣。

B Perfect! I'll take it! 太好了!我就買(mǎi)這個(gè)了!
