Neil: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak, I'm Neil.
Li: And I'm Li. Neil what are you drinking? Whatever it is, it sounds very refreshing(清爽, 甜美)
Neil: Ah yes it is, Li. It's so fruity(果味的, 圓潤的) and refreshing.
Li: What kind of juice is it?
Neil: Oh it's not juice, it's a smoothie.(冰沙)
Li: A smoothie?
Neil: Yeah, a smoothie. The fruit is blended(混合的) rather than squeezed.(擠壓的)
Li: Oh I see. A smoothie is a fruit drink made from blended fruit rather than squeezed fruit.
Neil: And it sometimes has ice, ice cream or yoghurt in it too. Try it Li.
Li: Oh thank you. Oh it's delicious.
Neil: How would you describe the texture(組織)?
Li: Well, it's very thick(稠) and… smooth.(平滑的)
Neil: Exactly. And that's where the name comes from.
Li: It's called a smoothie because its texture is smooth.
A: Right, who wants a drink? I fancy(想像) a cup of coffee.
B: Yeah but it's way too hot for coffee. Can I have one of those smoothies?
A: Oh that's an idea. I think I'll have one too, if I have enough money.
Neil: Well, it's all gone now.
Li: Oh that's a shame.(羞辱)
Neil: Yes… No more smoothie... Shame…
Li: Oh well.
Neil: (Pause) Li, have you had your hair done? It really suits(適合的) you.
Li: Oh thanks, Neil.
Neil: No, really. It suits your face. Actually, you're looking great at the moment. I like that outfit(衣服).
Li: Oh Neil…
Neil: I'd really love another smoothie, but I've just run out of money.
Li: Don't worry, I'll get you one.
Neil: Oh thanks! I can be such a smoothie sometimes…
Li: Yes you can… Smoothie is not just a word for a drink.
Neil: That's right. It's also an adjective describing a man who can persuade(說服) people to do things for him by being charming(迷人的).
Li: I wondered why he was paying me so many compliments(致意).
Neil: A smoothie for the smoothie, please Li.
Li: OK, OK…
Li: And I'm Li. Neil what are you drinking? Whatever it is, it sounds very refreshing(清爽, 甜美)
