Describe an interesting neighbor
you should say
who he or she is
how you knew him or her
what you do together
and explain why he or she is interesting
Well I don’t know so many neighbors because I rent an apartment in the suburbs of Beijing and I am not a local here, but there is someone I do know a little bit and he lives next door to me. We often see each other in the elevator.
嗯,我不认识那么多邻居,因为我在北京郊区租了一套公寓,我不是这里的本地人,但我确实对一个人有点儿了解,他住在我的隔壁。我们经常在电梯里见到。
I knew him several years ago when I moved into the community. Based on what I have known, he is a big fan of cooking. He comes from Sichuan province and food in that province is famous for its spicy flavor. He often adds chili pepper in every dish he makes and I happen to come from Hunan. In my hometown, people also have a passion for things that are really spicy. As a result, we often talk about food and he will introduce some of his secret recipes to me.
几年前我搬到社区时认识他。据我所知,他是个烹饪迷。他来自四川省,四川的食物以辛辣著称。他经常在他做的每道菜里加辣椒,我碰巧来自湖南。在我的家乡,人们对真正辣的东西也有热情。因此,我们经常谈论食物,他会向我介绍他的一些食谱秘方。
I think the reason why he is super interesting is that he has a knack for cooking and I would say he is crazy about it. He pays a lot of attention to health and what he always says is that don’t put too many oil into your dishes because it will block your artery and you will get some serious diseases such as cardiovascular problems. I guess I learned a lot from him because previously I often order takeout since it's fast and convenient, but under his influence I started to make dinner by myself because home-made food is the best.
我认为他之所以超级有趣,是因为他知道烹饪的诀窍,我可以说他对烹饪非常着迷。他非常注重健康,他总是说不要在菜里放太多油,因为它会阻塞你的动脉,你会得一些严重的疾病,比如心血管病。我想我从他那里学到了很多,因为以前我经常叫外卖,因为外卖又快又方便,但在他的影响下,我开始自己做饭,因为自制的食物是*好的。
