Brandon: Hey Marsha! I saw a crazy video today. A food blogger in California ate a giant purple rice ball from a Taiwanese restaurant named “Yi Mei.” It looked amazing!
布蘭登：嘿，瑪莎！我今天看到一個超狂的影片。加州有一個美食部落客，去一家叫「義美」的台灣餐廳，吃了一個超級巨大的紫米飯糰。看起來好吃極了！

Marsha: Oh! You mean a Taiwanese rice ball? Yes, they are a very popular breakfast in Taiwan. What was in it?
瑪莎：喔！你說的是台灣飯糰嗎？對啊，在台灣是非常受歡迎的早餐。裡面包了什麼？
Brandon: It had pork floss, youtiao, egg, and Taiwanese sausage. An influencer called Chef Danny paid about $10 for one. He said it was huge and delicious! But he said something funny. He called it “a sleeping pill for adults.”
布蘭登：裡面有肉鬆、油條、蛋和台灣香腸。有位網紅丹尼主廚花了大概10美元買一顆。他說飯糰又大又美味！但他講了一句很有趣的話，他稱它是「大人的安眠藥」。

Marsha: That is so true! In Taiwan, we love to eat rice balls, but they are made with a lot of purple or white sticky rice. When you eat a big one, you feel very full and very sleepy.
瑪莎：真的就是這樣！在台灣我們很愛吃飯糰，但裡面有很多紫米或白糯米。當你吃完一個大飯糰，你會覺得非常飽、非常想睡覺。
Brandon: Wow! No wonder another influencer said it’s like a Taiwanese burrito. Even the Marvel movie star Simu Liu went to try it! Is it really that powerful?
布蘭登：哇！難怪另一個網紅說它就像「台灣版的墨西哥捲餅」。連漫威電影明星劉思慕都慕名去吃了！台灣飯糰真的有那麼強大的威力嗎？
no wonder難怪、怪不得powerful(adj.)強大的、有威力的、強效的
Marsha: Yes! We call it a “food coma.” It means you feel sleepy after eating too much. Next time you visit Taiwan, I will take you to get a real one. But don’t plan any busy trips after breakfast!
瑪莎：對啊！我們把這種感覺叫做「醣暈」，意思就是吃太多之後會讓人很想睡覺。下次你來台灣玩，我帶你去吃正宗的台灣飯糰！不過早餐後可別安排太充實的行程喔！

布蘭登：一言為定！我會把睡衣帶上的！
