A: You can get drunk eating ice cream. Can you believe it?

吃冰激凌也能吃醉,你相信吗?

(chī bīnɡjīlínɡ yěnénɡ chīzuì, nǐ xiānɡxìn ma?)

B: Ice cream? I don't believe it. 

冰激凌?我不相信。

(bīnɡjīlínɡ? wǒ bù  xiānɡxìn.)

A: In the US, there is a sweet shop that has invented a unique ice cream machine that can turn beer and cocktails into soft ice cream.

在美国有一家甜品站,发明了一款独特的冰激凌机,可以将啤酒,鸡尾酒变成口感柔软的冰激凌。

B: Heavens. That's really special. 

天呐,这太特别了。

(tiānnà, zhè tàitèbié le.)

A: Even though it has been turned into ice cream, it hasn't changed the amount of alcohol.

尽管变成了冰激凌的口感,但并没有改变酒精的含量。

(jìnɡuǎn biànchénɡ le bīnɡjīlínɡ de kǒuɡǎn, dàn bìnɡ méiyǒu ɡǎibiàn jiǔjīnɡde hánliànɡ.)

B: So that's why you said you can get drunk eating ice cream? This sounds really awesome. 

也就是说你可以吃冰激凌吃到醉了?这种感觉也太爽了吧。

(yě jiùshì shuō nǐ kěyǐ chī bīnɡjīlínɡ chīdào zuìle?zhè zhǒnɡ ɡǎnjué yě tàishuǎnɡ le bā.)

A: After eating liquor ice cream you can't drive, otherwise it will be considered drunk driving. 

吃了酒精冰激凌是不能开车的,严重的会算作酒驾。
