Clara e o seu amigo Hugo entram num restaurante em Alfama. O empregado pergunta: "O que querem beber?" Hugo diz: "Bebo sempre água. Bebo dois litros de água por dia." Clara ri. "Eu não bebo assim tanto. Bebo um copo de vinho tinto, por favor."
Clara and her friend Hugo enter a restaurant in Alfama. The waiter asks: "What would you like to drink?" Hugo says: "I always drink water. I drink two litres of water a day." Clara laughs. "I don't drink that much. I'll have a glass of red wine, please."
O empregado traz a água e o vinho. "Bebeste o vinho todo!" diz Hugo. "É muito bom!" diz Clara. "Bebes vinho muitas vezes?" pergunta Hugo. "Não muitas. Bebo só ao jantar, aos fins de semana." Hugo bebe o seu copo de água. "Eu bebia vinho, mas agora prefiro água."
The waiter brings the water and the wine. "You drank all the wine!" says Hugo. "It's very good!" says Clara. "Do you drink wine often?" Hugo asks. "Not often. I only drink at dinner, at weekends." Hugo drinks his glass of water. "I used to drink wine, but now I prefer water."
