S: Sally P: Peter
Sally and her friend, Peter, are in their hotel room in a foreign country. They are discussing what they will do later.
S: Hey, Peter. Since we have some free time later, how about we visit the local supermarket?
P: The supermarket? Why would we go there? We should be out sightseeing or trying out local restaurants.
S: Think about it. The supermarket is where everyday life happens. You get to see what sauces and spices locals use, the kinds of fish they sell, and all the fruits and vegetables you’ve never seen before. It’s like experiencing their culture through food.
P: I see what you mean, but surely that could be done at restaurants, too.
S: There are cool snacks and treats that aren’t offered at restaurants, though. When I was in Amsterdam last year, I found some special butter cookies I hadn’t seen anywhere else.
P: Then I suppose it’s worth checking out. It sounds like a good way to see locals just going about their daily lives.
S: Exactly! It’s like sightseeing without the tourists. You can get a real feel for the country that way.
P: All right, you’ve convinced me. Maybe I’ll find something interesting to try or bring back for my family.
S: Great. Prepare to be amazed!

莎莉和她朋友彼得在國外的飯店房間裡。他們正在討論等等要做什麼。
莎 莉: 嘿,彼得。既然我們等等有一些空閒時間,我們去逛當地超市怎麼樣?
彼 得: 超市?我們為什麼要去那邊?我們應該在外面觀光或嘗試當地餐廳。
莎 莉: 你想想看。超市是日常生活發生的地方。你能夠看到當地人用什麼醬汁及香料、他們賣什麼種類的魚,以及所有你之前從未見過的蔬果。這就像透過食物來體驗他們的文化。
彼 得: 我懂妳的意思,但那在餐廳肯定也能做到吧。
莎 莉: 但有些很酷的零食跟點心餐廳並沒有提供。去年在阿姆斯特丹時,我找到了一些特別的奶油餅乾,我從沒在其他地方看過它們。
彼 得: 那我想是值得一看。這聽起來是了解當地人日常生活的好方法。
莎 莉: 沒錯!這就像在沒有遊客的情況下觀光。那樣你就可以真正認識這個國家。
彼 得: 好,妳說服我了。或許我會找到一些有趣的東西能嘗試或帶回去給我的家人。
莎 莉: 太好了。準備被驚豔吧!
