A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
杂货店
Grocery
As a child I was sometimes so hungry that I used to dream that one day I'd get locked in a grocery store.
当我还是个孩子的时候,有时我很饿,我常常梦想有一天我会被锁在杂货店里。
All writing is an act of self-exploration. Even a grocery list says something about you; how much more does a novel say?
所有的写作都是一种自我探索的行为。甚至购物清单也能反映出你的一些情况;一本小说又能说明什么呢?
You know, I lose patience really easily; I'd rather shop in the grocery store than in the department store. I can pick an apple like nobody's business.
你知道,我很容易失去耐心;我宁愿在杂货店购物也不愿在百货公司购物。我可以随便摘一个苹果。
I don't remember my mother ever playing with me. And she was a perfectly good mother. But she had to do the laundry and clean the house and do the grocery shopping.
我不记得我妈妈曾经和我玩。她是一个非常好的母亲。但是她得洗衣服、打扫房间和去杂货店买东西。
I've learned to look like I'm listening to long confusing plots of cartoons and comic books when I'm actually sound asleep or making grocery shopping lists in my head.
我已经学会了让自己看起来像是在听一长串令人困惑的卡通片和漫画书情节,而实际上我是在酣睡,或者是在脑海里列购物清单。
I can spend hours in a grocery store. I get so excited when I see food, I go crazy. I spend hours arranging my baskets so that everything fits in and nothing gets squashed. I'm really anal about it, actually.
我可以在杂货店里呆上几个小时。我一看到食物就兴奋得发疯。我花了几个小时整理我的篮子,这样所有的东西都能放进去,没有东西被压扁。事实上,我真的很挑剔。
I do love to shop. But I'm a social shopper. I like to do it while hanging out with my friends. Some of them hate shopping because they treat it like something you have to plan, like a grocery list. But if I'm out and I pass a store, I just pop in.
我喜欢购物。但我是一个社交购物者。我喜欢和朋友们出去玩的时候这样做。有些人讨厌购物,因为他们把购物看成是你必须计划的事情,比如购物清单。但是如果我出去了,路过一家商店,我就会进去。
I do all of the grocery shopping in my little family. I buy cheese, of many different kinds, sliced packaged meats and poultry, bagels, immense quantities of eggs, pre-made fried chicken. Milk. Bacon. It is insane how much dairy, deli and bakery stuff I buy.
在我的小家庭里,所有的杂货都是我买的。我买各种各样的奶酪,切成片的包装好的肉和家禽,百吉饼,大量的鸡蛋,预先做好的炸鸡。牛奶。培根。我买了那么多乳制品、熟食和烘焙食品,简直是疯了。
I live right next to a grocery store and I don't know if it's the bachelor in me, but I just go in and shop for what I need for the day. I'm an idiot because I don't shop for the whole week. The check out clerks always crack jokes about the fact that I'm in there sometimes twice a day.
我就住在一家杂货店旁边,我不知道我是不是单身,但我只是进去买我一天需要的东西。我是个白痴,因为我一周都不购物。结账员总是开玩笑说我有时一天在那里两次。
