Culinary Delights in China英汉双语[完美版]

Unit2

Universally recognized as one of the greatest cuisines of the world, Chinese food in all its variety and complexity is unquestionably one of the finest pleasures a visitor can experience in China.

Culinary Delights in China

1.Chinese cuisine is a brilliant facet of Chinese culture, which is proven by the fact

that Chinese restaurants are found scattered everywhere throughout the world.

Today, the culinary industry is developing even more rapidly than before. A decade ago, Beijing had a few thousand restaurants, while today there are over 100,000 restaurants of different sizes in the city.

2.Regional Chinese Cuisines

It is widely acknowledged that from the Ming dynasty onwards, there are eight major schools of cuisine based on regional cooking. They came from Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui provinces. In addition to these traditional cuisines, the culinary industry in china has undergone great changes, as almost every place has its own local specialties, and as the different cuisines gather together in big cities, such as Beijing.

3.Sichuan, known as Nature's Storehouse, is also a storehouse of cuisine. Here,

each and every restaurant provides delicious yet economical culinary fare. The ingredients for Sichuan cuisine are simple but the spices used are quite different.

Sichuan cuisine is famous for its spicy and hot food, yet just being hot and spicy does not necessarily distinguish it from other hot and spicy cuisines such as Hunan or Guizhou cuisines. What is really special about Sichuan cuisine is the use of Chinese prickly ash seeds, the taste of which leaves a feeling of numbness on one’s tongue and mouth. Besides this unique spice, Sichuan dishes are also usually prepared with other spices such as chili pepper. Using fermented bean sauce and a set of unique cooking methods, Sichuan cuisine is now famous and popular across the world. In recent years, there have appeared many more renowned restaurants specializing in Sichuan cuisine, such as the Tan Family Fish Head restaurant.

4.Guangdong Province is located in southern china, with a moderate climate and

abundant produce all year round. As one of the earliest ports open to foreign trade, the province has developed a culinary culture with its own characteristics that has exerted a far-reaching influence on other parts of china as well as throughout the world where it is the most commonly available Chinese cuisine. Guangdong cuisine is famous for its seafood as well as for its originality and refined cooking processes. Various soups in this cuisine are loved by people all over the country.

5.Zhejiang cuisine is light and exquisite, and is typical of food from along the lower

Yangtze River. One famous dish is west lake vinegar fish, which looks pretty and has the delicate refreshing flavors of nature. Many Chinese restaurants in china, as well as in other parts of the world, serve this dish, but often the flavor is less authentic compared to that found in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, which has unique access to the fish and water of West Lake.

6.Every dish has a story

The names of Chinese dishes are diverse, but behind each of the famous dishes is an interesting story explaining why it is popular. A good name can make the dish more interesting; however, some names are so eccentric that they may confuse people, both Chinese and foreigners. If you only translate the names literately with no explanation, you could make a fool of yourself.

7.Take Goubuli steamed buns in the city of Tianjin for example. These popular

buns are all of the same size and handmade. When served in neat rows on a tray, they look like budding chrysanthemum flowers. The wrapping is thin, the fillings are juicy, the meat tender and the taste delicious and not at all greasy. Then,why the name?

8.There is an interesting story behind it. Goubuli steamed buns were first sold in

Tianjin about 150 years ago. A local man by the name of gouzi worked as an apprentice in a shop selling baozi( steamed buns). After three years, he set up his own baozi shop. Because his buns were so delicious, he soon had a thriving business with more and more people coming to buy his buns. As hardworking as gouzi was, he could not keep up with demand so his customers often had to wait a long time to be served. Impatient, some people would call out to urge him on, but as he was so busy preparing the buns, he didn’t answer. People therefore came to call his buns goubuli, meaning “goguzi pays no attention.” This eccentric name, however, has had very good promotional effects, and has been used ever since.

Goubuli is now a time-cherished brand name in Tianjin.

9.In Zhejiang cuisine, there is a well-known dish called Dongpo meat. This dish of

streaky pork is prepared over a slow fire where the big chunks of pork are braised with green onion, ginger, cooking wine, soy sauce, and sugar. The finished dish is bright red in color and the meat is tender and juicy and, like the goubuli buns, not at all greasy. This dish was named after sudongpo , a great poet of the northern song dynasty, who created it when he was an official in Hangzhou. It is said that when he was in charge of the drainage work for the west lake, sudongpo rewarded workers with stewed pork in soy sauce, and people later named it dongpo meat, to commemorate this gifted and generous poet.

10.Fujian cuisine boasts a famous dish called Buddha jumping over the wall, the

number one dish of the province. This dish is prepared with more than 20 main ingredients, including chicken, duck, sea cucumber, dried scallop, tendon, shark lip, fish maw, and ham. All these ingredients are placed into a ceramic pot, with cooking wine and chicken broth, and then cooked over a slow fire until the meat is tender and juicy and the soup becomes smooth and thick. Then it is served with more than a dozen garnishes such as mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and pigeon eggs. It is famous for leaving a lingering aftertaste in the mouth. The story behind the name of the specialty goes as follows.

11.Buddha jumping over the wall was created in a restaurant called gathering spring

garden in Fuzhou, Fujian, during the reign of the Qing Emperor, Guangxu. It was first named eight treasures stewed in a pot and the name was later changed to blessing and longevity. One day, several scholars came to gathering spring garden for meal. When the dish was served, one of the scholars improvised a poem: ”Fragrance spreads to the neighborhood once the lid lifts, one whiff and the Buddha jumps the wall, abandoning the zen precepts. ” hence the name of the dish!

12.Warmth and Hospitality Expressed by Food

In the eyes of Chinese, what is important about eating, especially at festivals ,is to eat in a warm atmosphere. Often the young and the old still sit in order of seniority, and the elders select food for the young while the young make toasts to the elders. Chinese people like to create a lively, warm, and harmonious atmosphere during meals.

13.A hostess or host in China will apportion the best parts of the dishes to guests.

Using a pair of serving chopsticks, she or he places the best part of a steamed fish or the most tender piece of meat on the plate of the most important guest. Such a custom is still popular, especially among the elder generation, as a way of expressing respect, concern and hospitality.

14.Such culinary customs have had a certain influence on the character of the

Chinese people. In a sense, it has strengthened the collective spirit of the nation.

At a party or a banquet, everyone fist takes into consideration the needs of the group; with the eating process also being a time to show humility and concern for others.

15.In China, food eaten during festivals is particularly important. At different

festivals, people partake of different fare. For example, on the eve of Spring Festival, people in the north always eat jiaozi, meat and vegetable dumplings, at family reunions. This is a way of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the New Year. The Latern Festival is a day of celebration, and on this day people like to eat yuanxiao, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour, to symbolize family reunion and perfection. At the Duanwu Festival, people eat zongzi,

glutinous rice wrapped in triangular shape in reed leaves, to commemorate the beloved poet Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in the Miluo River after being politically wronged. Legend has it that people at the time threw zongzi into the river in the hope that the water dragon would not take him away. This later gradually developed into a custom of making and eating zongzi during the Duanwu Festival.

中餐被公认为全球最佳美食之一，其种类之丰富，工艺之繁复，使其理所当然地成为游客大快朵颐的乐事之一。

中国美食

1.中国美食是中国文化一道绚烂的风景线，这点从世界各地随处可见的中餐馆可以窥见。

当今，烹饪业正以前所未有的速度在发展。10年前，北京只有几千家餐馆，而今天却有10万多家大小不等的餐馆遍布市内。

2.地方美食

众所周知，明朝以来出现了八大菜系，分别是山东菜、四川菜、广东菜、福建菜、江苏菜、浙江菜、湖南菜和安徽菜。除了这些传统菜系，中国的烹饪业也经历了巨大的变化：每个地方都形成了自己的特色菜，不同菜系汇集于诸如北京这样的大城市。

3.被誉为“天府之国”的四川也是个美食之都。在那里的任何一家餐馆都能找到既可口又

经济实惠的美食。川菜的原料虽简单，但调料却大有讲究。川菜以口味辣著称，但仅是口味辣还不能使川菜区别于其他辣口味的菜系，比如湖南菜和贵州菜。川菜的特别之处在于花椒的使用。尝过花椒之后，人们的舌头和嘴巴会留下酥麻的感觉。除了花椒之外，川菜还常用辣椒粉之类的调料。因使用豆豉作配料，再加上一套独特的烹饪方式，如今川菜在全世界都十分有名和受欢迎。近几年涌现了一大批著名的专做川菜的餐馆，比如谭鱼头。

4.广东省在中国南部，全年气候温和，物产丰富。它还是最早对外开放的通商口岸之一。

广东的餐饮文化独具特色，对中国其他地方乃至全世界产生了深远的影响。广东菜以其好生猛海鲜、追求新奇、细致考究的烹饪方法而著称。广东菜中的各式煲汤如今已深受全国各地人民喜爱。

5.浙江菜口味清淡，精致玲珑，是长江下游区域菜肴的代表。西湖醋鱼是其中的一道名菜。

这道菜鲜美，酥嫩，带着自然的清香。中国乃至世界各地的中餐馆大都能找得到这道菜，但口味往往不及在浙江杭州吃得那般纯正。因为只有杭州拥有来自西湖的鱼和水。

6.每道菜都有一段故事

中国菜名五花八门，而每道名菜都有一段有趣的故事，说明它如何博得人们的喜爱。一个好名字能使这道菜更有意思；但有些菜名太怪异了，听起来让人一头雾水，不要说外

国人难以理解，就是中国人往往也不是很清楚。你要是望文生义，准得闹出笑话来。

7.拿天津“狗不理”包子来说吧。“狗不理”纯手工制作，大小均等，深受欢迎。这些包

子整整齐齐地放在托盘上时，看上去就像是含苞欲放的菊花。皮儿很薄，馅儿饱蘸肉汁，口感柔软，香而不腻。可为什么叫“狗不理”呢?

8.“狗不理”的背后有一段有趣的故事。大约150年前，“狗不理”包子在天津初次亮相。

当地有个小伙子，名叫狗子，在一家包子店当学徒。三年后，自己单独开了一家包子店。

他做的包子味道鲜美，因此生意十分红火，吸引了越来越多的顾客。狗子工作十分卖力，可他还是满足不了大家的需要，顾客们只得等很长时间。有些顾客等得不耐烦了，就在外面嚷嚷着催他快点，可狗子忙着做包子呢，哪有时间搭理。后来人们就把他做的包子称作“狗不理”，意思是“狗子不搭理他们”。可就是这个有点怪里怪气的名字，反倒起了很好的广告作用，这个名字一直沿用到了今天。如今“狗不理”已经成为天津的老字号。

9.浙江菜里有一道深受欢迎的菜，叫东坡肉。这道菜是把五花肉切成大块，配上青葱，在

锅底放些生姜，然后加料酒、酱油和糖用慢火做出来的。这道菜色泽红亮，酥嫩多汁，如“狗不理”一样毫无肥腻之感。它以北宋时代大诗人苏东坡的名字命名。苏东坡在杭州做官时发明了这道菜。据说，他当时负责西湖的排污工程，经常拿红烧肉犒劳工人。

后来为了纪念这位才华横溢、慷慨大方的诗人，人们就把它称作东坡肉。

10.佛跳墙是福建莱里的一道名菜，亦被称作福建第一菜。这道莱的主料不下20种，有鸡

肉、鸭肉、海参、干贝、蹄筋、鱼唇、鱼肚、火腿配料10多种，有蘑菇、冬笋、鸽蛋等。所有的原料均放在一个陶罐里，加上料酒和鸡汤后，用文火炖，一直炖到肉汁鲜美，柔润细腻，汤味浑厚。轻舔一口，余香满口。这道特色菜的背后有这么一个故事：

11.佛跳墙是由福州市一个叫聚春园的餐馆在清朝光绪年间发明的，早先菜名为八珍锅，而

后改为福寿全。一日，几位秀才到聚春园饮酒。菜上桌时，其中一位即兴赋诗一首“坛启荤香飘四邻，佛闻弃禅跳墙来。”佛跳墙这一菜名便由此得来。

12.食物传达的温馨和盛情

在中国人看来，吃最重要的，尤其在过节时，莫过于是吃饭时的温馨气氛。吃饭时，年长的和年少的按照年龄大小依次坐好，在欢乐祥和的气氛中，说说笑笑。席间，长辈为晚辈夹菜，晚辈给长辈敬酒，营造出一派欢乐、温馨、和谐的气氛。

13.在中国，主人会把最好的莱分给客人。他们用公筷把清蒸鱼最好的部分或最嫩的肉夹给

最重要的来宾。这种习俗用来表达尊敬、关怀和好客之意，至今在老一辈的中国人中还是很流行。

14.这种饮食习俗对中国人的性格也有几分影响。从某种意义上说，它增强了人们的集体主

义精神。无论在聚会还是在宴席上，人们首先考虑大家的需求，把吃饭当成是谦卑有礼和关怀他人的场合。

15.中国人特别在乎过节时吃什么，不同的节日吃不同的食物。比如除夕夜全家团圆时，北

方人吃肉饺或菜饺，象征辞旧迎新。元宵节吃元宵，元宵是糯米粉做的甜团子，象征家庭团圆、美满。端午节吃粽子，人们用芦苇叶子把糯米包成三角形的粽子是为了纪念受人爱戴的诗人屈原。屈原因遭政治迫害自沉于汨罗江。传说古时候人们把粽子投到江中，希望水中的龙不要带走他。之后，端午节包粽子和吃粽子的习俗就慢慢形成了。

中国日报网英语点津

据十一届全国人大三次会议大会发言人李肇星介绍，会议期间将重点审议全国人大常委会关于提请审议《选举法修正案(草案)》的议案，并指出选举法修正案草案规定的城乡按相同人口比例选举人大代表，将更好地实现人人平等、地区平等、民族平等的原则。 请看《中国日报》的报道： The draft amendment to the Electoral Law has proposed equal electoral rights for urban and rural citizens, which, if passed, will "expand people's democracy and safeguard their rights to be the masters of their own destiny", Li Zhaoxing, spokesman for the third session of the 11th NPC, told reporters at a press conference on Thursday. 十一届全国人大三次会议发言人李肇星上周四在记者发布会上表示，《选举法修正案(草案)》提出城乡居民应享有相同的选举权。该修正案通过后将“扩大人民民主，保障人民当家作主的权利”。 文中的amendment to the Electoral Law就是指“选举法修正案”，而draft amendment就是指“修正案草案”。此次《选举法》修改，一个重点就是城乡拟按相同人口比例选举人大代表，并且享有相同的electoral rights(选举权)。城乡居民选举将有望实现equal representation(同票同权)。 Amendment在这里指“修正案”，例如First Amendment就常用来指“美国宪法第一修正案”，而draft在这里则表示“草案”。此外，draft还常用来指“征兵，选拔”，例如：John was drafted into the Army last year. (约翰去年被应征入伍。) 全国人大新闻发言人李肇星本周四在新闻发布会上称，2010年我国国防预算将比上年预算执行数增长7.5%。与前几年相比，国防费用增幅有所下降。 请看新华社的报道： China plans to increase its defense budget by 7.5 percent in 2010, only about half of last year's planned growth of 14.9 percent, a parliament spokesman said here on Thursday. 全国人大发言人(李肇星)本周四称，中国2010年国防预算的增幅计划为7.5%，增幅仅为去年计划增幅14.9%的一半。 文中的defense budget就是指“国防预算”，而在实际花费之后则会形成defense expenditure/spending(国防开支)。该预算在fiscal expenditure(财政支出)中所占的比例与去年持平。我国一直奉行defensive national defense policy(防御性国防政策)，逐步提高military transparency(军事透明度)，每两年发布一次white papers on national defense(国防白皮书)。 每年各国政府都会制定fiscal year(财政年度)中的各项预算。家庭内部还可以制定family budget(家庭预算)。现在年轻人的消费观念已经发生了转变，采用budget plan/divided payments(分期付款)的方式买车也越来越流行了，但这并不代表一定会铺张浪费，很多人还是会选择购买一辆budget car(便宜的车)。 3月3日在向政协大会做工作报告时，中共中央政治局常委、全国政协主席贾庆林表示，将高度重视收入差距过大引发的影响社会稳定的因素，努力促进社会公平正义。

China Daily 双语新闻

这些年过的春节年味儿越飘越淡 The Spring Festival travel rush, witnessed by tens of thousands people going home, gets more and more frightening every year. Firecrackers are more extravagant. The Spring Festival eve dinner gets even more delicious. However, most Chinese people feel that the atmosphere of Spring Festival, or Nianwei, is fading. How come? Why we feel less excited than before when we mention the Spring Festival? 虽然春运潮一年比一年猛，鞭炮和礼花一年比一年热烈，年夜饭一年比一年丰盛，很多国人却感到年味儿越来越淡了。年味儿为什么会变淡？我们提到过年时为什么不再有儿时的期盼和兴奋？ 年味儿是什么味？ What is Nianwei? What kind of atmosphere is it? It is the excitement and expectation on the way home; it is the smile on parents’ faces when we arrive; It is the happiness of the whole family sitting together chatting; it is our toast to our elders at dinner; It is the smell of fireworks going off outside; it is the jiaozi (dumpling) for the Spring Festival eve dinner that mom has been busy preparing; It is the enjoyment of going to the temple fair and watching the dragon dance, a scene that drags us back to childhood; it is the friendly ambiance in which everyone says “Happy New Year” no matter whether they know each other or not; It is the red lanterns hanging everywhere… Nianwei, the Spring Festival atmosphere, is happiness, peace and reunions… 什么是年味？ 年味是回家途中的激动与期盼，是踏入家门时爸妈的笑脸； 是全家团圆的喜乐气氛，是晚辈孝敬长辈围坐在桌前敬的那一杯酒； 是屋外烟花闪耀飘进鼻内的一股幽香，是妈妈忙前忙后做的一顿年夜饭中的饺子；是逛庙会看着舞龙仿佛又回到童年的一种享受，是甭管认识不认识，见面都说过年好的那种友好感觉； 是满大街挂满了红灯笼充满了祝福话语的那种气氛。。。。。。 “年味”是喜庆、是平安、是团圆。。。。。。 过年习俗 Cleaning: In Chinese, the pronunciation of “尘”（dust）and “陈”（stale things）are the same, so cleaning the dust before the Spring Festival eve means kicking poverty and bad luck out of the house. The tradition embodies people’s hope to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new. 扫尘：按民间的说法，因“尘”与“陈”谐音，新春扫尘有“除尘布新”的涵义，其用意是要把一切穷运、晦气统统扫出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望

美国女博士为关注内在坚持一年不照镜子（双语新闻） 美国女博士为关注内在坚持一年不照镜子 Meet the mirror-free bride: woman avoided mirrors for one year 来源：中国日报2012-08-20 Kjerstin Gruys, a 29-year-old PhD student in sociology, has mastered the art of avoiding her own reflection. For months, her daily schedule began with the typical teeth brushing, but a curtain covered the bathroom mirror. She inserted her contact lenses and applied her makeup by touch, not sight.

In her blog Mirror, Mirror Off the Wall, she documents her yearlong effort to live mirror-free.
