　　Andrea: The whole family know how to make pork pies but the ladies have a female touch.

　　Jean: A female touch. 女性的触摸，就是说被贤淑女性的手碰过以后，做出来的效果就更加不一般了。

　　Andrea: Jean, have you ever tried a traditional English pork pie? Jean: Yes Andrea I have, but I couldn’t eat the whole one.

　　Andrea: A lot of traditional British food is very fatty and stodgy, but if you thought that pork pies were fattening, how about a battered Mars bar?

　　Jean: A battered what?

　　Andrea: A Mars bar – that’s a chocolate bar – deep fried in batter.

　　Jean: 开玩笑吧！怎么会有人爱吃裹着面炸的巧克力棒呢？

　　Andrea: Well, in the North of England and in Scotland, you can buy them in chippies or chip shops.

　　Jean: A chippie 就是卖炸鱼薯条的快餐店。

　　Andrea: That’s right. But would you try a battered Mars bar? Or is that just too stodgy? We went out on the streets of London to find out what people think about battered Mars bars.
