Clara invited two new friends to dinner on Saturday. She wanted a good meal. Her plan was easy: pasta with cream sauce.
克拉拉邀请了两位新朋友星期六来吃晚饭。她想做一顿好饭。她的计划很简单：奶油酱意大利面。
On Thursday, Odin sent her a message. "I cannot eat wheat," he wrote. "It makes me sick. Sorry!"
星期四，奥丁给她发了一条消息。“我不能吃小麦，”他写道，“会不舒服。抱歉！”
On Friday, Olivier called. "I cannot have milk or cream," he said. "I'm sorry to be difficult."
星期五，奥利维耶打来了电话。“我不能吃牛奶和奶油，”他说，“不好意思，给你添麻烦了。”
"No, no, it's fine," Clara said.
“不，不，没关系，”克拉拉说。
She put down the phone and looked at her list. Pasta has wheat. Cream is milk. Her dinner was wrong for both guests. She had one day to change it.
她放下电话，看着自己的清单。意大利面有小麦，奶油是牛奶做的。她的晚餐对两位客人都不合适，而她只有一天时间来改。
Clara did not panic. She went to the market. She bought rice, chicken, carrots, peppers, and green beans. She also bought a lemon.
克拉拉没有慌。她去了市场，买了米饭、鸡肉、胡萝卜、甜椒和四季豆，还买了一个柠檬。
That night, she cooked a small plate for herself. She fried the chicken in oil with garlic. Then she added the rice and the vegetables. At the end, she put lemon on top. It tasted great. She was happy with her new plan.
那天晚上，她给自己做了一小盘试试。她用油和大蒜煎了鸡肉，然后加入米饭和蔬菜，最后在上面挤了柠檬汁。味道好极了。她对自己的新计划很满意。
On Saturday, Odin and Olivier came at seven. The table looked pretty, with candles and a green plant. Clara told them about her first plan, and they laughed.
星期六，奥丁和奥利维耶七点到了。桌子布置得很漂亮，有蜡烛，还有一盆绿植。克拉拉给他们讲了她最初的计划，他们都笑了。
"This smells wonderful," Odin said.
“这闻起来真香，”奥丁说。
They ate every bit. Then Olivier put down his fork. "Can I have the recipe?"
他们把饭菜吃得干干净净。然后奥利维耶放下叉子。“我能要一下食谱吗？”
"Me too," said Odin.
“我也要，”奥丁说。
Clara smiled. She took two pieces of paper and began to write.
克拉拉笑了。她拿出两张纸，开始写了起来。
