Exercise III. Read carefully the sentences containing some American/British nationally peculiar notions and translate the sentences into Ukrainian



A. 1. USAir has gone to «sporks», a combination of fork and
spoon to cut down on the number of utensils used. The USA Today
asked some Road Warriors who are best described as «grumpy gour­
mands» because they probably eat more meals on jets than at home.
Here's what they say: «The scrambled eggs were OK, moist with
decent flavour. The waffles were almost soggy. The coffee was good,
but they always serve it in a Styrofoam cup, which drives me crazy.»
(J.Y.Oakton) 2) «Breakfast was a cheddar cheese omelette, it not
only appeared to be stable - as compared to some that swim in uni­
dentifiable liquid - but it also tasted like cheddar cheese and eggs. It
was enough cholesterol to have caused a block in my arteries, but it
was good.» 3) «I had the grilled chicken, it was a good portion, but it
was dry with a fake, smoked flavour. The salad was fresh and cresp.
But it was served in a bowl, not on a plate. The wheat roll was moist
and served with real butter. For dessert, I had chocolate cake. But, it
was too sweet, which was good.» (K.W.) 4) «I had two choices for
breakfast: cold cereal or an omelet. I had Quaker Oat Square, a small
carton of 2 milk, low-flat peach yoghurt, orange juice and a banana.»

5) «This time, the plate had an ample amount of grapes, pineapple and orange slices, but only one strawberry. I didn't eat the yoghurt or the dry cereal, but I did have a warm blueberry muffin.»

6) «They served a health-food concoction that tasted like the card­board box it came in. It was a sort of corn-flavored, crispy, chiplike thing, it had no flavour at all. We also had fruit. I like that they serve milk, but I hate that low-fat stuff, it insipid - all airline food is insipid.»
