A Taste of Fast Food
Grandpa: It's time for dinner Bao Bao. Wash up!
Grandson (Bao Bao, 12 years old): Aw Grandpa, I don't want rice again. Can you take me to KFC tonight? Please?
Grandpa: I suppose so, but you'll have to show me where it is. We'll take the bus.
At the counter of KFC…
Grandpa: Why are children so crazy about chicken wings and hamburgers? What's so good about them?
Grandson: Hmm…hmm. Hey, I'll take 2 chicken wings and a Coke, OK?
At the table…
Grandpa: Bao Bao, do you like being Chinese or do you sometimes wish you could live in America or Europe?
Grandson: Uh, maybe America, I think the foods there are cool. Why?
Grandpa: Well, when I was your age, I liked to go out with my parents and eat in a Chinese restaurant. We didn't have chicken wings or the drink with bubbles. We drank tea and we had rice and traditional Chinese dishes.
Grandson: Grandpa, I want some French fries. Can I have some?
Grandpa: Phew … all right! Children are children after all. Bao Bao, do you know what children ate in the past? They ate spring rolls when spring was coming, glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival and if they behaved well, their parents would probably buy them small steamed bread made with corn flour… I can still remember the taste, that sweet …
Grandson: I want more chicken wings, can I, Grandpa?
Grandpa: You've already eaten too much of that, Bao Bao! A lot of your friends are getting fat too … you know, in the good old days, we …
Grandson: Grandpa, pass the ketchup, ‘kay?

译文：亲历快餐
爷爷：宝宝，该吃晚饭了，去洗洗手吧。
孙子(宝宝，12岁)：噢，爷爷，我不想吃米饭！您能带我去吃肯德基吗？求您啦！
爷爷：好吧，只是你得告诉我它在哪儿。我们坐公交车去吧。
在肯德基的柜台前……
爷爷：为什么孩子们如此热衷于鸡翅和汉堡呢？有什么好吃的！
孙子：嗯……我要两个鸡翅和一杯可乐，可以吗？
在餐桌旁……
爷爷：宝宝，你是喜欢当个中国人，还是有时候会想当个美国人或是欧洲人？
孙子：嗯，也许想当个美国人吧，那里的食物都很酷。为什么要问这个？
爷爷：喔，在我像你这么大时，我喜欢跟我的父母一起去中国餐馆吃饭。我们那时没有鸡翅，也没有这种会冒泡的饮料。我们喝茶，吃米饭和传统的中国菜。
孙子：爷爷，我想吃薯条，行不行啊？
爷爷：哟，好吧！毕竟是孩子！宝宝，你知道过去的孩子吃什么吗？春天来了，他们会吃春卷；元宵节时，他们会吃元宵。如果表现得好，父母还会给他们买玉米面做的小窝头……我至今还记得那滋味儿，甜甜的……
孙子：我想再要点鸡翅，可以吗，爷爷？
爷爷：宝宝，你已经吃了不少啦。你的很多朋友都变胖了。你知道吗？在过去那些好日子里，我们……
孙子：爷爷，把番茄酱递给我一下！
