A：Hello there, welcome to Wine World. Let me know if I can help you out at all.你好，欢迎来到酒的世界。有什么可以帮助的吗?

B：Um, yes, please, I could really use some help. I'm going over to my boss'house for dinner tonight and don't know what kind of wine I should bring.嗯，是的，确实需要你的帮助。今晚我要去老板家里做客，但是不知道带什么酒比较合适。

A：OK, do you know what kind of food will be served?好的，你知道你的老板会招待你们喝什么吗?

B：Well, his wife is Japanese. He said she makes really good sushi.嗯，他的妻子是日本人。他说她做的寿司很好吃。

A：Hmm, that's a bit of a challenge. Sushi is notoriously difficult to pair with wine. Well, let's see. have to be a white wine, of course.嗯，那会有点挑战。众所周知寿司很难和酒搭配。嗯，让我想想，当然必定是白酒。

B：Why? Wouldn't a red wine go well with sushi?为什么?没有红酒可以和寿司搭配的吗?

A：No, I don't think so. Sushi is a very delicately flavored food, and red wine would be a jarring contrast. You need a white wine, which has more subtle flavors, to complement the fish.不，我不认为。寿司是调味精致的食物，红酒会和它构成强烈的对比。你需要一点白酒，和鱼搭配起来味道会很好。

B：I see. So should I get a bottle of Chardonnay? That's a white wine, right?我知道了。我应该买一瓶雪当利，那是白酒，对吗?

A：Yes, Chardonnay is a white wine, but I'm not sure it'd be your best bet. Chardonnay is one of the more fullbodied whites, and tends to be a bit oaky. I'd suggest that you go for something brighter, like this Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.是的，雪当利是一种浓烈的酒，还行吧。我建议你买一些淡一些，比如来自新西兰的白苏维浓。

B：Sauvignon Blanc? What's that?白苏维浓，那是什么?

A：That's another varietal, or type of grape, just like Chardonnay.那是用一种葡萄酿制的葡萄酒，葡萄酒的一种，就像雪当利。

B：Let's see. The label says it's got "attractive citrus and grassy aromas that give way to crisp, mineral flavors and a bonedry finish. Serve chilled." Oh, no, how long will it take to chill the wine? I'm on my way to the dinner now.让我看看，标签上写着有具有魔力柑橘和甘草香气，非常松脆的，有矿物的味道，并且是全干的，适宜冰镇后食用。

A：It's OK, don't worry, we'll just choose a wine from the cooler. We don't have quite as extensive a selection over here, but...this Rhone Valley white would be lovely.好的，不用担心，我们只是从冰箱里面选择一瓶酒。我们没有很多的选择，但是……罗纳河白酒很不错。

B：All right. What varietal is that?好吧，是用什么酿成的?

A：Well, this is a French wine, so they don't always specify the varietal on the label. The French believe that the soil a grape is grown in is one of the most important factors in the final flavor of the wine. This wine is probably a blend of a few different types of grapes, mostly Viognier, I'd guess.嗯，这是法国酒，因此他们不明确地标注是由什么酒酿造的。法国人认为葡萄生长的土地是酒最终味道的最重要因素之一。这种酒是不同葡萄在一起酿成的，我觉得最多的是维欧尼。

B：And you think this is a good wine?你觉得这是好酒吗?

A：Yes, this is one of our best-sellers. It's not quite as dry as the Sauvignon Blanc we were looking at earlier, which means it's more approachable. It's light and crisp, with a bit of a vanilla aroma.是的，这是最畅销的酒。它不像我们之前看到的索维农葡萄那样那么干，它更加容易入口。它又轻又脆，带有一点香草的香气。

B：Perfect! I'll take it!太好了!我就买这个了!
