A Day in My Life 17: Making a Salad

It's Saturday, and it's a hot, sunny day.

今天是星期六，天氣又熱又晴朗。

I'm hungry, but I don't want to cook.

我肚子餓了，可是我不想煮飯。

So I'm going to make a big salad for lunch!

所以午餐我要做一大份沙拉！

I open the fridge and take out some vegetables.

我打開冰箱，拿出一些蔬菜。

A lettuce, two tomatoes, and a cucumber.

一顆萵苣、兩顆番茄，還有一根小黃瓜。

Wait, where's the cucumber?

等等，小黃瓜跑去哪了？

Oh, there it is, behind the milk!

喔，在這裡，在牛奶後面！

First, I wash the lettuce in cold water.

首先，我用冷水洗萵苣。

I wash it carefully because there's sometimes sand in it.

我洗得很仔細，因為裡面有時候會有沙子。

Then I tear the leaves into small pieces.

然後，我把葉子撕成小片。

Next, I chop the tomatoes on a board.

接著，我在砧板上切番茄。

I slice the cucumber, too.

小黃瓜也切成片。

My new knife is sharper than my old one!

我的新刀比舊的那把利多了！

Now I'm going to make a simple dressing.

現在我要做一個簡單的沙拉醬。

I put oil, lemon juice, and salt in a jar.

我把油、檸檬汁和鹽放進一個罐子裡。

Then I close the lid and shake it hard.

然後蓋上蓋子，用力搖一搖。

Shake, shake, shake! It sounds like a little drum.

搖啊搖啊搖！聽起來像個小鼓。

Suddenly, Mochi jumps onto the kitchen chair!

突然，Mochi跳上了廚房的椅子！

She smells the lettuce and looks at me.

她聞了聞萵苣，然後看著我。

Sorry, Mochi, cats don't eat salad!

抱歉啦，Mochi，貓咪不吃沙拉！

I give her a cat treat instead.

我改給她一塊貓咪零食。

I put everything in a big bowl.

我把所有東西都放進一個大碗裡。

Then I pour the dressing on top.

然後把沙拉醬淋在上面。

Wow, it looks so fresh and colorful!

哇，看起來好新鮮、顏色好漂亮！

It's lighter than a burger, but I'm full.

它比漢堡清爽，但我吃飽了。

And I didn't turn on the stove once!

而且我連一次爐火都沒開！
