“吃货”foodie和“美食家”gourmet.docx

 HYPERLINK /zx/archives/75496 \o \“吃货\”与\“美食家\” “吃货”与“美食家” 人们在观看电视纪录片《舌尖上的中国》时，自然会想到“吃货”这个词。“吃货”指“喜欢吃各类美食的人”。英语可以译为?foodie或?foody，人们用不同表述来定义 foodie，例如： 1. A foodie/foody refers to someone who has an ardent and enthusiastic interest in the preparation and consumption of good food.“吃货”指对烹调和品尝美食有浓烈兴趣的人。 2. A foodie/foody is a person who has a refined interest in good food and drink. A foodie seeks new food experiences as a hobby.“吃货”是对美食和美酒有雅趣的人。“吃货”把寻求新的美食经历作为嗜好。 被称为“吃货”的人爱吃，会吃，甚至会做，对美食有一种独特的追求和向往，例如： 3. Numerous restaurants in this area offer foodies a choice of Chinese food, Indian food and Korean food.这个区域的众多餐馆为吃货们提供了中国菜、印度菜和韩国料理等多种选择。 “吃货”是个通俗词，汉语另有高雅的同义词，例如“美食爱好者”“美食客”“美食家”“美食达人”等。英语的 foodie或 foody也是通俗词，另有不少高雅的同义词，像 gourmet, gastronome, gastronomist, bon vivant, connoisseur, epicure, epicurean等，例如： 4. A?gourmet?is someone who not only enjoys good food, but also knows a lot about food and wine.美食家是不仅享受美食，而且非常精通美食美酒的人。[g??me?] 5. The fish dish my mother cooks is so delicious that beguiles even the most discerning gourmet.我妈妈烧的鱼非常美味，甚至最识货的美食家都会着迷。gourmet还可以用作定语，修饰 food，wine，cuisine，cooking，dinner等与饮食有关的名词，例如： 6. John is a committed party-goer, and loves gourmet food and wine.约翰热衷于参加派对，酷爱美食美酒。 7. This restaurant serves authentic gourmet Sichuan-style cuisine for lunch and dinner.这家餐馆的午餐与晚餐提供正宗美味川菜。 gastronome[g?str?n??m] 和?gastronomist[g?str?n?mist] 都是“美食家”，但有细微区别，前者注重烹调术，而后者更关心饮食文化，例如： 8. A gastronome looks at how fresh the food is, how it is prepared, which flavours are used, and how it is presented.美食家注重食物新鲜程度，如何烹制，使用什么调味品，以及如何呈现。 9. A gastronome is well versed in gastronomy, while a gastronomist unites theory and practice in the study of gastronomy. gastronome精通烹调术，而 gastronomist在研究烹调术时将理论与实践结合。 bon vivant [,bu?vi:v??] 源自法语，直译为 good liver，即“快乐生活的人”，相当于“锦衣玉食者”。法国人也是以食为天，讲究饮食，故 bon vivant具有“美食家”的内涵，例如： 10. A bon vivant is a person with cultivated, refined, and sociable tastes, especially with respect to food and drink.美食家是有教养、雅致而爱交际的人，尤其在美食美酒方面很有品位。 connoisseu
