A: I was just about to go downstairs and get a sandwich for dinner. Do you want me to get one for you? 

我正准备下楼买一个三明治当晚餐,你需要我帮你带一个吗？

(wǒzhènɡ zhǔnbèi xiàlóu mǎiyīɡè sānmínɡzhì dānɡ wǎncān, nǐ xūyào  wǒ bānɡnǐ dàiyīɡè ma?)

B: That's really nice of you, but I don't need anything. I plan to have snacks for dinner.  

你真好,但是我不需要了,我今晚准备吃零食当晚餐。

(nǐ zhēnhǎo, dànshì wǒ  bùxūyào le, wǒ jīnwǎn zhǔnbèi chī línɡshí dānɡ wǎncān.)

A: Although this is your own personal choice, but I think that eating snacks for dinner doesn't sound like it will be good over the long-term.

虽然这是你的个人选择,但我想说,零食当晚餐可听起来不是一个长久之计。

(suīrán zhèshì nǐde ɡèrén xuǎnzé, dàn wǒxiǎnɡshuō, línɡshí dānɡ wǎncān kě tīnɡqǐlái bùshì yīɡè chánɡjiǔ zhījì.)

B: I know that, but I really like to eat snacks and once I start I can't stop.   

我也知道,但我可太喜欢吃零食了,而且一吃就停不下来。 

(wǒyě zhīdào, dàn wǒ kětàixǐhuān chī línɡshí le, érqiě yīchī jiù tínɡbùxiàlái.) 

A: You can try eating some healthy snacks. Healthy snacks are better for your health than regular fried or high sugar snacks. Nuts and baked vegetable chips are all considered healthy snacks. 

你可以试试吃健康零食。健康零食比普通油炸或高糖零食对身体健康。坚果类的零食和烤蔬菜片都算健康零食。

(nǐ kěyǐ shìshì chī jiànkānɡ línɡshí.jiànkānɡ línɡshí bǐ pǔtōnɡ  yóuzhà huò ɡāotánɡ línɡshí duì  shēntǐ jiànkānɡ.jiānɡuǒ lèi de línɡshí hé kǎoshūcài piàn dōusuàn jiànkānɡ línɡshí.)

B: Ok, I have never tried baked vegetable chips before.

好的,我还没吃过烤蔬菜片呢。
