BBC 6 minute English – Healthy meals on a budget

Pippa
Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Pippa.

Georgie
And I'm Georgie. In this programme, we're talking about saving money on food. Pippa, are you good at saving money on your food shop?

Pippa
I think I'm quite good. I plan what I like to cook so I don't waste money in the supermarket. How about you, Georgie?

Georgie
I'm not very good. I usually go to the supermarket when I'm hungry, so I end up buying lots of snacks.

Pippa
Oh, that's a terrible idea. Well, in this programme we'll be learning about one way to save money on the food we eat. But first, I've got a question for you, Georgie. The most expensive restaurant in the world is thought to be a restaurant called Sublimotion in Ibiza, which only has 12 customers each night. But how much in euros is a meal per person at the restaurant?
a)    €650
b)    €1,650
c)    €2,650

Georgie
The most expensive… I'll go with c) €2,650. Pippa
Well, we'll find out the answer at the end of the programme. Now, food in the UK is getting more expensive, as it has been in many parts of the world, and some people are struggling to afford their food shopping.

Georgie
But BBC World Service programme, People Fixing the World, has been finding out about a project called ‘Bags of Taste’ which helps people save money on their food shopping and improve their diet at the same time. Bags of something is an informal way to say a lot of something.

Pippa
The founder of Bags of Taste, Alicia Weston, became concerned that people in the UK with less money found it difficult to afford a healthy diet

Alicia Weston
People in poverty are eating the worst diets and they are getting sicker younger. And we know that diets are the single largest cause of health inequalities in the UK.

Georgie
Alicia found that people didn't know how to cook the kinds of meals they'd like to eat, and they couldn't afford to experiment. Imagine spending lots of money on ingredients and then wasting them by cooking them badly or burning the food. People also thought making healthy food would be too expensive and take too much time. 

Alicia Weston
So ultimately, we've been able to come up with a programme that basically can tackle all of these issues. So what we do now is we deliver all of the ingredients to their door, because ultimately, behaviour change starts with actually changing your behaviour at home.

Pippa
Alicia says that ultimately,she'sbeen able to come up with a solution to help people save money on healthy food. We can use the adverb ultimately to mean finally, after a series of events have happened.

Georgie
Alicia wants to tackle the things that stop people eating healthy food on a budget. If you tackle a problem, you try to deal with it.

Alicia's solution involves delivering ingredients and recipes to people and then using a WhatsApp group to talk to participants. Each WhatsApp group has a mentor who shares cooking tips and advice.

Pippa
To give you an idea of how this works, the team at People Fixing the World read out some of the messages on one of the 'Bags of Taste' WhatsApp chats

Amy, mentor
Remember to put the fridge bag in the fridge. Can we aim to cook recipe one by Tuesday evening? Our first recipe, chana masala is a classic. It needs an onion, which can be a pain to chop. So, try our way.

Ally
Love this method [chef emoji]. First time I've chopped an onion like this and it's so neat and easy.

Georgia
I'm going to cook mine tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Ally
I've finished making my chana masala. I was a bit too heavy-handed with the chilli. My husband likes a lot of spice. So, I'd reduce that next time.

Georgie
The mentor in the group, Amy, describes the recipe for chana masala as a classic. We call something a classic to say that it is well-known and of good quality. We can also describe a particular book, film or song as a classic.

Pippa
Amy sends a video to show a technique for cutting onions, which she describes as a pain tochop. If something is a pain to do, it is difficult or annoying to do.

Georgie
One of the participants, Ally, said that when she made the chana masala, she was a bit heavy-handed with the chilli. If you are heavy-handed with an ingredient, you use too much of it, and so Ally's chana masala was very spicy!

Pippa
Bags of Taste helps people learn new recipes and cook healthy food without spending too much money. It's certainly a lot cheaper than a meal at the restaurant in my question, Georgie. I asked you how much it costs for a meal at Sublimotion, thought to be the most expensive restaurant in the world.

Georgie
Yes, I said a meal was €2,650.

Pippa
Well, you were wrong. It's actually €1,650, but I think that's still pretty expensive.

Georgie
It definitely is. OK. Let's recap the vocabulary we've learned, starting with bags of, which means a lot of something.

Pippa
We can use the adverb ultimately to say finally, after a series of events.

Georgie
If you tackle a problem, you try to deal with it and find a solution

Pippa
If we describe something, like a recipe, as a classic, we mean it's well-known and of good quality.

Georgie
If something is a pain to do, it is annoying or difficult to do.

Pippa
And if you are heavy-handed with an ingredient, you use too much of it. For example, I made some soup the other day and I was a bit heavy-handed with the salt – it tasted disgusting!

Georgie
Oh, that's not very good! OK, once again, our 6 minutes are up. But you can test what you've learned with the interactive quiz on our website. Visit bbclearningenglish.com.

Pippa
Bye for now.

Georgie
Bye!

廣播原稿中文翻譯有兩個目的。首先是幫助聽力有困難的讀者能夠快速了解原文的意思。而更重要的原因是,提供給練習英語口語表達的讀者訓練的素材。

由於每個人的知識範疇各不相同,因此碰到超出自己專長的領域,常常會啞口無言,無話可說。這對練習英語表達是一項非常難以克服的障礙。所以參考 6 分鐘英語的對白稿,既可以讓自我練習英語對話時有貼切適當的素材,同時也能順便學些道地的表達方式,實是一舉數得。

使用上,可以在聽完一、兩次原始廣播之後,試著一邊看中文謄本,一邊流利、正確地用英語說出文中的內容。多次練習之後,未來自然能夠在碰到同樣主題時與人侃侃而談。

BBC 6 分鐘英語 – 經濟實惠的健康餐點

皮帕
您好。這裡是 BBC 學習英語的六分鐘英語,我是皮帕。

喬琪
我是喬琪。在這個節目中,我們將討論如何在食物上省錢。皮帕,你在買食物時會省錢嗎?

皮帕
我覺得我還不錯。我會計劃我喜歡做什麼菜,這樣我就不會在超市浪費錢了。你呢,喬琪?

喬琪
我不是做得很好。我通常會在肚子餓的時候去超級市場,結果買了很多零食。

皮帕
哦,這真是個糟糕的情況。好吧,在這個節目中,我們將學習一種節省食物開支的方法。但首先,我有一個問題要問您,喬琪。世界上最貴的餐廳被認為是伊比沙島一家叫 Sublimotion 的餐廳,每晚只有 12 位顧客。但在該餐廳每人一餐的價格是多少歐元?
a) €650
b) €1,650
c) €2,650

喬琪
最貴的…我選 c) 2,650 歐元。

皮帕
好吧,我們會在節目結束時找出答案。現在,英國的食物越來越貴,就像世界上很多地方一樣,有些人在艱難中購買食物。

喬琪
但 BBC World Service 節目「People Fixing the World」發現一個名為「Bags of Taste」的計畫,可以幫助人們節省購買食物的費用,同時改善他們的飲食習慣。Bags of something 是一種非正式的方式,表示很多東西。

皮帕
Bags of
Taste 的創辦人艾麗西亞-威斯頓關注到,在英國錢不多的人很難負擔得起健康的飲食。

艾麗西亞-威斯頓
貧窮的人吃最差的飲食,他們生病的年紀也越來越小。我們知道飲食是造成英國健康不平等的最大原因。

喬琪
艾麗西亞發現人們不知道如何烹調他們喜歡吃的餐點,而且他們也沒有能力進行實驗。試想一下,花了很多錢買食材,卻因為煮得不好或把食物燒焦而浪費了。人們也認為製作健康的食物太昂貴,而且花費太多時間。

艾麗西亞-威斯頓
所以最後,我們想出了一個方案,基本上可以解決所有這些問題。所以我們現在所做的就是將所有的食材送到他們家門口,因為行為改變最終還是要從實際改變你在家裡的行為開始。

皮帕
艾麗西亞說,最終,她能夠想出一個幫助人們節省健康食品費用的解決方案。我們可以使用副詞 ultimately 表示最後,在一連串事件發生之後。

喬琪
艾麗西亞想要解決讓人們無法在預算內吃到健康食物的問題。如果您要解決問題,您就必須嘗試處理它。

艾麗西亞的解決方案包括將食材和食譜送到人們手中,然後用 WhatsApp 群組與參加者交談。每個 WhatsApp 群組都有一位導師,分享烹飪技巧和建議。

皮帕
為了讓您了解這個方法如何運作,People Fixing the World 的團隊讀出其中一個「Bags of Taste」WhatsApp 聊天群組的一些訊息

艾米,導師
記得把冰箱袋放在冰箱裡。我們的目標是在週二晚上之前烹調出第一道食譜,可以嗎?我們的第一道食譜,chana masala 是一道經典食譜。它需要洋蔥,切洋葱很麻煩 。所以,試試我們的方法。[視訊已上傳]

愛麗
我喜歡這個方法 [chef emoji]。我第一次用這種方法切洋蔥,而且又整齊又簡單。

喬琪
我明天即將要做我的菜。我期待著。

愛麗
我完成了我的 chana masala。我的辣椒有點太重了。我丈夫喜歡很多香料。所以,下次我會減少辣味。

喬琪
小組中的導師艾米將 Chana masala 的食譜形容為經典。我們稱某樣東西為經典,是指它廣為人知、品質優良。我們也可以將特定的書、電影或歌曲形容為經典

皮帕
艾米傳送了一段影片來展示切洋蔥的技巧,她形容切洋蔥很痛苦 。如果某件事情做起來很痛苦 ,那麼它就很難做或令人討厭。

喬琪
其中一位參加者愛麗說,她在製作 chana masala 時,對辣椒的運用有點重手。如果您對某種配料用重手,您就會使用太多,因此愛麗的 chana masala 非常辣!

皮帕
Bags of
Taste 幫助人們學習新的食譜和烹調健康的食物,而且不用花太多錢。在我的問題中,這肯定比在餐廳吃飯便宜很多,喬琪。我問您在被認為是世界上最貴的餐廳 Sublimotion 吃一頓飯要花多少錢?

喬琪
是的,我說一頓飯是 2,650 歐元。

皮帕
好吧,你錯了。實際上是 1,650 歐元,但我覺得還是挺貴的。

喬琪
絕對是。好的 讓我們重溫一下我們學過的詞彙,從 bags of 開始,意思是很多東西。

皮帕
我們可以用副詞 ultimately 來表示經過一連串事件之後的最後。

喬琪
如果您要處理一個問題,您就必須嘗試處理並找出解決方案。

皮帕
如果我們形容某樣東西,例如食譜,是經典的,我們的意思是它很有名而且品質很好。

喬琪
如果某件事情做起來很痛苦 ,就表示它很煩人或很難做。

皮帕
如果您對某種食材用料過重 ,就表示您用得太多。例如,前幾天我做了一些湯,我用鹽的量有點大,味道很噁心!

喬琪
哦,那可不太好!好了,我們的六分鐘時間又到了。但是您可以通過我們網站上的互動測驗來測試您的學習成果。請造訪 bbclearningenglish.com。

皮帕
再見!

喬琪
再見!
