“酸奶”千万不要翻译成“sour milk”，两者意思截然不同

Eating natural food is good for your body.

吃天然的食物对你的身体好。

iced black tea

冰红茶

虽然这里面有个“红”字，可是并不说red tea

I would like a cup of iced black tea.

我要一杯冰红茶。

对话

A:Would you like something to drink?

想喝点什么吗?

B:Yes,iced black tea,please.

好啊，冰红茶吧。

此外，我们常喝的饮料还有

coca cola“可口可乐”

juice“果汁”

cold drinks“冷饮”

hot drinks“热饮”等等

dairy products

奶制品

虽然有“奶”字，但英文表达中并没有milk

dairy是形容词：“奶制的，乳品的”

所以“奶制品”就是dairy products

Dairy products are good for your health.

奶制品对你的健康有好处。

对话

A:Mary doesn't eat dairy products.

玛丽不吃奶制品。

B:Oh,my God.I can't believe it.

我的天哪，真不敢相信。

英文中有些单词长得很像

就拿“奶制品”中的dairy来说

不要把它和意为“日记”的diary搞混

此外

“酸奶”用英语表达是yogurt

sour milk 的意思是“牛奶酸了”

He is showing his classmates how to make yogurt.

他正在向他的同学演示如何做酸奶。

frozen food

速冻食品

I always go to supermarkets to buy frozen foods.

我常常去超市买速冻食品。

对话

A:Oh,my God.You should put the frozen food in the fridge.

天哪，你应该把速冻食品放在冰箱里。

B:I was so busy that I forgot it.

我太忙了，忘了放了。

“速冻”还可以用quick-frozen表示

比如：

quick-frozen dumplings

“速冻饺子”

The nutritional and convenient quick-frozen food was favored by the general consumers.

营养方便的速冻食品深受广大消费者青睐。

make one's mouth water

这个炸鸡闻起来太香了，我都流口水了。

对话

A:I'm very hungry.The smell from the kitchen makes my mouth water.

“流口水”还可以用单词drool来表示
