0:00 inflation is taking a big bite out of the nation’s holiday barbecues. インフレがアメリカの祝日のバーベキューに大きな打撃を与えています。
A lot of food is getting expensive in Japan.
The other day, I went to a steak restaurant near my house.
The restaurant is a chain store.
I used to go there when I was a college student.
The steak was so nice.
However, its taste got worse even though it cost much more.
I feel sad and thought that I wanted to eat delicious food even if it was expensive.
- take a big bite out of ~
～に大きな打撃を与える - ground beef is up a whopping 36 percent.
牛ひき肉の値段が36%も上がっている
→ whopping = ものすごい、桁外れの - i am paying through the nose.
法外な値段を払っている - you can also save by buying frozen burgers which can be half the price of fresh ground beef and load up on cheaper locally grown vegetables. 冷凍ハンバーガーを買い、新鮮な牛ひき肉の半額で済ませたり、安い地元産野菜をたくさん買って節約できる
- load up on ~ は「大量に買う」「買いだめする」
- putting together a holiday feast
祝日のごちそうを準備している
