A：Hey Julie, you want to go grab something to eat?朱莉，要不要出去吃点东西?

B：Sure! What do you feel like having?好啊!你想吃什么?

A：I really feel like having a big juicy steak!我好想来一块美味多汁的牛排啊!

B：Oh. OK. I don't eat meat, but that's fine, I am sure wherever we are going they will have other options right?好吧。我是不吃肉的。不过没关系。我们去的地方肯定有很多种选择。

A：I didn't know you were a vegetarian!你是素食主义者呀?我还不知道呢。

B：I'm not, I am a vegan.不，我是一个绝对素食主义者。

A：A what?那是什么意思?

B：A vegan. I don't eat or use any animal based products. I don't wear leather, eat eggs, drink milk or anything that comes from an animal. I used to be a pescatarian before, which basically means you don't eat meat, but still have fish and seafood.意思就是我不食用任何来自动物身上的东西。不穿皮草，不食用蛋类、奶制品或其它任何来自动物的食品。我以前是鱼素者，就是不吃肉但是可以吃鱼类和海产。

A：Wow! That's interesting! It must be tough!哇!真有意思!肯定挺难的吧。

B：It's a bit difficult to find vegetarian friendly restaurants sometimes, but since more and more people are vegetarians or vegans nowadays, it's getting a bit less difficult.有时候确实很难找到一家支持素食主义的餐馆。不过现在越来越多的人成为了素食主义者或是绝地素食主义者，情况也就好多了。
