English food Exercise one English Food (excerpt) English food has a bad reputation abroad. This is most probably because foreigners in England are often obliged to eat in the more “popular” type of restaurant. Here it is necessary to prepare food rapidly in large quantities, and the taste of the food inevitably suffers, though its quality, from the point of view of nourishment, is quite satisfactory. Still, it is rather dull and not always attractively presented. Moreover, the Englishman eating in a cheap or medium price restaurant is usually in a hurry --- at least at lunch --- and a meal eaten in a leisurely manner in pleasant surroundings is always far more enjoyable than a meal taken hastily in a business-like atmosphere. In general, it is possible to get an adequate meal at a reasonable price; in fact, such a meal may be less expensive than similar food abroad. For those with money to spare, there are restaurants that compare favorably with the best in any country.

Still, it is rather dull（气氛沉闷，单调） and not always attractively presented. 尽管从营养的角度而言，饭菜的质量还是令人满意的。可是，饭菜的品种单一，菜式也常常不太讲究/卖相也不好。 Moreover, the Englishman eating in a cheap or medium price restaurant is usually in a hurry --- at least at lunch --- 此外，去中低档餐馆用餐的英国人通常是来去匆匆—午餐至少如此-- and a meal eaten in a leisurely manner in pleasant surroundings is always far more enjoyable
