跟我好好学英语的第50天

Eating (3)

My brother, who has a healthy appetite (the capacity to eat a lot), had a second helping (a second portion) – but I found the stew so filling that I could barely finish my bowl. 我哥哥胃口很好（吃得很多），可以吃第二份，但我觉得炖菜太容易吃饱了，以至于很难吃完。

My mother recently told me that she’d like to try some international cuisine. I was surprised to hear that, because a few years ago she had a bad experience after getting food poisoning (when you get sick because of contaminated food) at a Japanese restaurant. So tomorrow I’m taking her to a Brazilian steakhouse. I told her to eat light meals (small meals) during the day so that she doesn’t spoil her appetite for dinner (“spoiling your appetite” means eating food earlier, and then not being hungry for a meal later). 我妈妈最近告诉我，她想尝试一些国际美食。听到这个消息我很惊讶，因为几年前她在一家日本餐馆食物中毒（当你因为食物污染而生病）后，经历了一次糟糕的经历。所以明天我要带她去巴西牛排馆我告诉她白天吃清淡的饭菜（小餐），这样她就不会破坏晚餐的胃口（"破坏你的食欲"意味着早点吃食物，然后不要饿着肚子吃晚饭）。
