E: Just a minute, James. My coworkers and I went to Ice Monster after lunch today and we had shaved ice. I really think my taste buds▼ would prefer some ice cream instead.

J: No problem, Elsa. Why don’t we stop by that Häagen-Dazs just across the street?

E: Great! What’s your favorite kind of ice cream?

J: I’m thinking about having a cone of mint chocolate chip ice cream. But maybe I’ll try the mango sorbet.

E: That sounds great. I can have two or three scoops of the butter pecan that I want, and you can get the mango that you crave.

詹姆士： 夠了。妳讓我口水流滿地了。我們現在就去找個地方坐下來 點剉冰吃吧。
艾　莎： 詹姆士，等等。我和同事今天吃完中餐後才去了 Ice Monster 吃剉冰。我真的覺得我的味蕾會比較想來點冰淇淋。
詹姆士： 那有什麼問題，艾莎。我們何不順路到對街的那間哈根達斯去呢？
艾　莎： 讚喔！你最喜歡哪種口味的冰淇淋啊？
