1199 - Eating on the Run

No time for a good lunch? Try eating some bad food instead! We’ll show you how on this episode.

（良いランチを取るための時間がない？替わりに悪いご飯を食べてみよう！このエピソードでどうするのかを見せましょう）

本文

Sam: Wait a second. Is this all you’re having for lunch, this microwaved burrito?

（ちょっとまって。これ全部ランチとして食べているの？これ温めたブリトー？）

Leticia: That’s all I have time for. It’s better than just eating it out of the package, right?

（ランチのための時間はこれだけなの。お皿に置いて食べるよりいいでしょ？）

Sam: That does not look appetizing. I see indigestion in your future.

（おいしそうじゃないね。将来お腹を壊すのが見えるよ）

Leticia: It’s filling and that’s all I care about. I need to gulp down something before the meeting at 1:00.

（お腹を満たしてくれるし、私が気にすることができるすべてよ。1時からのミーティング前に手っ取り早く何かを食べれることが必要なのよ）

Sam: Why don’t you brown bag it? Even if it’s something premade, you won’t have to rely on instant food.

（家で何か作って来たら？例え、あらかじめ作られたものでもインスタントフードに頼らなくて済むでしょ）

Leticia: Who has the time to prepare a lunch? This burrito is actually more than I eat on most days. Normally, I munch on candy bars or bags of chips and forgo lunch altogether.

（だれがランチを準備する時間があるって？このブリトーは実際はいつも食べているものよりいいんだよ。だいたい、スナックバーかポテトチップスをかじるだけか、まったくランチを食べないんだよ）

Sam: That’s not very healthy.

（それはとても不健康だね）

Leticia: No, but it keeps me going when I’m on the run on busy days like this. I have a stash in my desk. Do you want to take a look?

（そんなことないよ、でもこれが今みたいに忙しい日々を送らせてくれているのよ。私にはお菓子のコレクションがデスクにあるしね。見たい？）

Sam: That collection makes fast food look like haute cuisine!

（コレクションにすることでファストフードを高級料理のようにせさるね）
