Excuse me, I'm trying to decide between the Pad Thai and the Green Curry. Do you have a recommendation?

打扰一下，我正在纠结是点泰式炒河粉还是绿咖喱。您有什么推荐吗？

Michael (Male)

Both are excellent choices. The Pad Thai is a classic, very popular, with a good balance of sweet, sour, and savory. Our Green Curry is a bit spicier, and very rich with coconut milk.

这两个选择都很棒。泰式炒河粉是经典菜，非常受欢迎，甜、酸、咸味平衡得很好。我们的绿咖喱会辣一点，椰奶味很浓郁。

Hmm, I like a little spice, but not overly spicy. How does the spice level of the green curry compare to other Thai restaurants?

嗯，我喜欢一点辣，但不要太辣。你们的绿咖喱辣度和其他泰餐馆相比怎么样？

I'd say it's medium spice. It has a kick, but most people find it enjoyable. If you're nervous, we can always make it milder for you.

我想说是中等辣度。它有点辣味，但大多数人觉得可以接受。如果你担心，我们也可以为你做得清淡些。

Okay, that's good to know. And what about the a-la-carte options for the Pad Thai? Can I add chicken to it?

好的，这个我知道了。那泰式炒河粉的单点选项呢？我可以加鸡肉吗？

Michael (Male)

Yes, absolutely. The Pad Thai comes with your choice of protein: chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu.

是的，当然可以。泰式炒河粉可以选择肉类：鸡肉、牛肉、虾或豆腐。

Okay, considering all that, I think I'll go with the Green Curry, but a little milder please.

好的，考虑到这些，我想我要绿咖喱，但请做得淡一点。
