2017公共英语考试PETS2对话练习（十七）
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
