IN THIS LESSON
ID: 0307 Upper Intermediate
While no one can be a smooth as Steve Martin’s character in “The Jerk” (”No more 1966! Bring us some fresh, new stuff!”), you can still impress (or offend) some with a fine choice of vino. In this podcast, learn how to talk about different wines in Mandarin Chinese, as well as learn some Chinese foods you just may never have thought of pairing with wine. Just tell us you’re not a rosé drinker.

行了,冷盆就这么多。热菜么,给我一份糖醋松子桂鱼,六只大闸蟹,再来一个糖醋小排,黑椒牛柳,还有上汤西兰花。好,就这样。你们这儿有什么好的葡萄酒。

All right, that’s enough appetizers. Hmm, for hot dishes, give me an order of fried sweet and sour mandarin fish with pine nuts, six hairy crabs, an order of sweet and sour baby ribs, a black pepper beef strips, and broccoli in soup. OK, that’s all. What good wines do you have?
先生,我们准备了多种高级葡萄酒,配合不同的菜肴和客人的口味。您有没有什么喜欢的酒呢?

Sir, we have on hand a lot of high grade wines to complement different foods and accommodate our guests’ different tastes. Do you have any wine preference?
我不太懂葡萄酒。你根据我点的这些菜,推荐一下吧。
wǒ bùtài dǒng pútaojiǔ 。nǐ gēnjù wǒ diǎn de zhèxiē cài ,tuījiàn yīxià ba 。
I don’t really know much about wine. Based on the dishes I have ordered, can you recommend something for me?
好的。您今天点的菜比较丰富,而不同的酒能够更好地体现这些口味。配合鱼和蟹,最合适的酒是2004年产自法国勃根蒂的莎当妮白葡萄酒。

Sure. You've ordered quite an assortment of dishes today, and different kinds of wine can even better bring out all the different flavors. To complement fish and crab, the most suitable wine is a 2004 French White Burgundy Chardonnay.
