  1. All of a sudden

  Something has occurred in a very short period of time. There has been a shift in thinking. In the dialogue, their desire for Japanese food increases as Sergio talks about the different kinds of Japanese dishes. When the desire arises it comes very fast. It comes suddenly.

  2. That's too bad because...

  This is another way to say, "It is unfortunate because..." In this example, a statement will follow to explain just why it is unfortunate. It is a common way to speak between friends. If the situation is more formal in nature, then you would more likely use the term "unfortunate". Remember that colloquial speech is used by people who are familiar with each other.

  3.Wait a minute

  You could also say, "Hold onto your horses." They would have used this when cowboys rode horses and not bicycles. You are telling someone to slow down their decision making process long enough so as to get all of the details. Kind of like saying, "Wait until I finish (about a minute) before you make a hasty decision."

  4. ... sound very good

  In this case, since we are talking about food, the sound refers to the taste of the food. I know that they have yet to taste anything but when food is described in the right way it creates an imaginary flavor in your mouth. That flavor comes from the words used to describe it. That flavor comes from the sound. So if it sounds very good then you will want to have some.

  5. It's settled

  Everyone is in agreement. The discussion, argument, or negotiation is settled. In the dialogue, the discussion is about selecting the best tasting dessert. Once they have agreed then one can say, "It's settled." In other words, they are in agreement and have made the same choice.

新辞新说

  1突然之间

  有些事情发生在极短的一瞬间的,也就是头脑中的一闪念。在这个对话中,他们对日本料理的兴趣在塞吉奥谈论各种各样的日本菜时突然之间产生了。但这个欲望产生的时候,它来得非常之快。它是突然之间来的。

  2.太糟糕了

  这是另外一种表示“It is unfortunate because”(不幸的是)的说法。在这个例子中,后面要跟一个句子来解释为什么很“不幸”。这是朋友之间交流的一种常用表示法。如果是更加正式的场合,你就应该使用“unfortunate”这种说法。记住:口语表示法经常用于比较熟悉的人之间。

  3.等一下

  你也可以说“Hold onto your horses”,这个句子可能是牛仔不是骑自行车而是骑马的时候说的。当你要告诉某人慢点做出他们的决定、先了解所有的细节之后在决定时,使用这个句子。类似的句子有:Wait until I finish (about a minute) before you make a hasty decision."。

  4.听起来很不错

  在这个例子中,因为我们正在谈论食物,“声音”就是指食物的味道。我知道他们还没有尝过任何东西,但是,当人们用正确的方法描述食物的时候,会在口中长生一种想象的味道。那种味道来自描述它的单词。那种味道来自说的声音。因此,如果“听起来不错”的话,你就会想要一点了。

  5.这就解决了

  每个人都同意了。讨论、争论或者讨价还价的达成了一致,问题解决了。在这个对话中,他们讨论的关于选择最好的甜点。一旦他们达成了一致,其中的一个就可以说“这就成了”。用另外一种说法就是,他们达成了一致,做出了同样的选择。
