S: Sally P: Peter
Sally and her friend, Peter, are in their hotel room in a foreign country. They are discussing what they will do later.
S: Hey, Peter. Since we have some free time later, how about we visit the local supermarket?
P: The supermarket? Why would we go there? We should be out sightseeing or trying out local restaurants.
S: Think about it. The supermarket is where everyday life happens. You get to see what sauces and spices locals use, the kinds of fish they sell, and all the fruits and vegetables you’ve never seen before. It’s like experiencing their culture through food.

莎 莉： 嘿，彼得。既然我们等等有一些空闲时间，我们去逛当地超市怎么样？
彼 得： 超市？我们为什么要去那边？我们应该在外面观光或尝试当地餐厅。
莎 莉： 你想想看。超市是日常生活发生的地方。你能够看到当地人用什么酱汁及香料、他们卖什么种类的鱼，以及所有你之前从未见过的蔬果。这就像透过食物来体验他们的文化。
