(At the night market)
Yuki: All of the food stands here look great. I want to try everything. What do you want to try first, Zac?
Zac: Although most of the food here smells good, I don't feel like eating at all.
Yuki: That's not like you. What's the matter?
Zac: I have a sore throat. Maybe I have a cold.
Yuki: That explains it. I heard you cough at school today.
Zac: I'm sorry, but I should probably go home and take a rest. I am feeling so weak now.
Yuki: Sure. Take care of yourself and get well soon.
(The next day at noon)
Yuki: Someone got his appetite back. How are you feeling?
Zac: My throat doesn't hurt now. Thanks. I drank a lot of water and slept a lot. Both of my parents do that when they are sick.
Yuki: Did you take cold medicine?
Zac: No. I usually use food as medicine. For example, one of my favorite recipes for a cough is honey with lemons.
Yuki: Does that help?
Zac: Yes. That is a useful recipe from my grandma.
Yuki: That's so cool.
(在夜市)
由紀:這裡所有的食物攤販看起來都很棒。每樣我都想嘗試。你想先試哪一個,柴克?
柴克:雖然這裡大部分的食物聞起來很不錯,但是我一點也不想吃。
由紀:那樣一點也不像你。發生什麼事了?
柴克:我喉嚨痛。我可能感冒了。
由紀:原來如此。我今天在學校聽到你咳嗽。
柴克:我很抱歉,但我可能要回家休息一下。我現在感覺好虛弱。
由紀:好的。你保重,然後早日康復。
(隔天中午)
由紀:某人食慾恢復囉。你現在感覺怎麼樣?
柴克:我的喉嚨現在不痛了。謝謝。我喝很多水也睡很久。我父母兩人生病時就是這麼做的。
由紀:你有吃感冒藥嗎?
柴克:沒有。我通常把食物當作藥物。舉例來說,我最喜歡的止咳食譜之一是蜂蜜配檸檬。
由紀:那有幫助嗎?
柴克:有。那是我祖母的一個有效的食譜。
由紀:那真酷。
