Okay, today we’re gonna talk about breakfast. This is my favorite meal of the day. So I’m happy to talk about it.

好的，今天我想聊聊早餐，这是我一天中最喜欢的一餐。我很愿意聊这个话题。

First, let’s talk about breakfast in the US. Many people think that Americans eat a big breakfast every day. You’ve probably seen this in American movies and TV shows. You might see people eating eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes and more.

首先，让我们聊聊美国的早餐。很多人认为美国人每顿早餐都很丰盛。你大概是在美国电影和电视中看过。你可以看到人们在吃鸡蛋、培根、香肠和煎饼等。

However, most Americans don’t eat a really big breakfast on weekdays. Many people don’t have time to cook a big breakfast before they go to work.

然而，大多数美国人工作日的早餐不怎么丰盛。很多人工作日的早上没有那么多的时间做早饭。

Actually, it’s really common for people to just eat cereal. I did this a lot when I was a kid. But on weekends, people have more time to enjoy their breakfast in the morning. So people might eat the type of breakfast that you see in the movies.

其实，早上只吃麦片是很常见的，我小时候就这样。但在周末，人们有更多的时候享用早餐。所以他们会吃得很好，就像电影里一样。

I remember when I was a kid, my mom cooked more creative breakfasts on Saturdays and Sundays. My favorite breakfast that my mom cooked was crepes. I still remember how amazing they tasted.

我记得我小时候我妈会在周末做很有新意的早餐。我最喜欢的早餐是我妈做的可丽饼，至今难忘。

It’s also common for Americans to go out for breakfast on weekends. Breakfast restaurants are really crowded on Saturday and Sunday mornings. And we also love enjoying a nice breakfast when we’re on vacation. Basically, when we have the time, we love to eat a good breakfast.

周末去外面吃早餐在美国也很常见。周末的早餐店人超多。我们也很享受假期的丰盛早餐。事实上，只要有时间，我们都愿意享受一顿美味的早餐。

In many other countries, people don’t eat a lot for breakfast. I remember when I was in Europe, I saw many people having only a little sweet bread and coffee for breakfast. This definitely isn’t enough for me, but for other people, this is enough. I think that in many countries, breakfast isn’t an important meal. Lunch and dinner are usually more important.

在其他国家，人们吃的早餐也很简单。我记得在欧洲时，我看到人们就吃一些甜面包和咖啡当早餐。这对我来说肯定不够，但对有些人来说足够了。我觉得在有些国家，早餐不是很重要。午餐和晚餐才重要。

In the US, some people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What do you think? What’s the most important meal of the day for you?

在美国，很多人说早餐很重要，你觉得呢？你觉得哪顿饭比较重要？

Now, let me describe my typical breakfast. Normally on weekdays, I eat eggs, bacon and fruit. I love the combination of bacon and eggs. They go together perfectly. I don’t get tired of this food, even if I eat it every day. Of course, I always buy fresh and organic eggs, bacon and fruit. This is really important for me. And on weekends, I often go to restaurants to eat breakfast.

现在，我来说说我的早餐。通常，工作日我会吃一些鸡蛋、培根和水果。我喜欢培根和鸡蛋的组合，这个组合很棒。即使我每天吃都不厌倦。当然，我总是买新鲜的有机鸡蛋、培根和水果。这对我很重要。周末我经常去早餐店吃饭。

I love going out to eat breakfast. There are a lot of amazing breakfast restaurants where I live. So I have many options. I usually eat different breakfast foods at restaurants.

我喜欢出去吃早饭。我住的地方有很多很棒的早餐店，所以我有很多选择。我经常在早餐店吃不同的食物。

One of my favorite breakfasts is a Mexican dish called Chile kilis. I order this food all the time. And I also really like sweet breakfast foods like French toast, pancakes and sweet bread. As you can see, I love breakfast in general.

我最喜欢吃的早餐之一是一种叫做“智利基利斯”的墨西哥菜。我经常点这个食物。我也很喜欢甜食早餐，比如法式吐司、煎饼和甜面包。正如你所见，我很喜欢早餐。

One other thing that I sometimes have for breakfast is coffee. I don’t drink coffee every day, and I don’t really like caffeine, but I really like warm drinks. So I often order coffee or hot chocolate when I eat breakfast at restaurants.

我早餐有时会喝咖啡。我并不是每天都喝咖啡，我也不太喜欢咖啡因，但我真的很喜欢热饮。所以我在餐馆吃早餐时，经常点咖啡或热巧克力。

I know some people that need coffee in the morning. If they don’t have coffee, then they can’t start their day. I’m not like this. I sometimes have coffee with my breakfast, but it’s not necessary.

我知道有些人早上需要喝咖啡。如果他们不喝，他们就不能开始他们的一天。我不像这样。我有时早餐时喝咖啡，但这不是必须的。
