Lesson 18 Being a Guest ( 2 )
大卫：老师，今天的饺子真好吃！
玛丽：是啊，味道挺不错的。老师，中国人都喜欢吃饺子吗？
刘老师：大部分北方人都喜欢吃饺子。过生日啦，过节啦，来客人啦，一般都包饺子吃。
大卫：南方人不吃饺子吗？
刘老师：不常吃。南方人喜欢吃米饭，不太喜欢吃面食。
玛丽：是这样啊！对北方人来说，饺子是很重要的一种食品吧？
刘老师：是啊！不过，包饺子比较麻烦，特别是人少的时候。
玛丽：对，做馅儿就得花很多时间呢。
大卫：超市不是有速冻饺子吗？如果想吃的话，就去买一袋。
刘老师：你真会偷懒。不过，大家一起包饺子，热闹，也挺有意思的。
玛丽：速冻饺子的味道怎么样？好吃吗？
大卫：也很好吃。

David: Teacher, today's dumplings were truly delicious.
Mary: I agree. They tasted great. Do all Chinese people like to eat dumplings, Teacher?
Teacher Liu: Most Northerners are fond of eating dumplings. They generally make dumplings when celebrating birthdays, during holidays, or when having guests over.
David: So Southerners don't eat dumplings?
Teacher Liu: Not often. Southerners prefer to eat rice, and are not too fond of eating wheat-based foods.
Mary: I see! Then for Northerners, dumplings must be a very important (type of) food, right?
Teacher Liu: Yes, however making dumplings is relatively troublesome, especially when there are just a few people.
Mary: Yeah, just to prepare the filling you have to spend a lot of time.
David: But doesn't the supermarket have frozen dumplings? If you want to eat (dumplings) , all you have to do is go buy a bag.
Teacher Liu: You really know how to take the lazy way out! Still, when everyone is making dumplings together, it's very lively, and can be quite interesting.
Mary: How do the frozen dumplings taste? Are they any good?
David: They're good, too.
