小学英语英美文化小贴士中西方饮食文化大比拼萝卜白菜各有所爱素材.docVIP

PAGE / NUMPAGES 萝卜白菜各有所爱 关于饮食，新概念三23课有句话说的好：萝卜芹菜，各有所爱(One mans meat is another mans poison)。说到中西方饮食文化差异，你第一个想到的是什么？我们用筷子，老外用刀叉？我们吃“大锅饭”，老外分餐制？嗯，这些都不错！不过还不够： 　　1. First of all, the making method of Chinese food is different from Western-style food。 　　首先，中西餐的烹调方法不同。 　　In Western-style food cookbook, various ingredients such as the flour, sugar, butter etc. have been indicated several grams, several spoons or several cups, even the size of the egg will all be explained. I think it is like a testing laboratory. So, Making Western-style food is easy, so long as you according to cookbook manual。 　　西餐的烹调书中写明了面粉需要几克，糖需要几汤匙，黄油需要几杯等等，甚至连用到的鸡蛋的大小也有说明。烹调西餐就像在实验室里做实验一样。所以只要参考着烹调书，西餐是很好做的。 　　But it is not the easy thing that you want to make fine Chinese food.

Second, the atmosphere of Chinese food is different from Western-style food while having a meal。 　　其次，中西方的就餐氛围不同。 　　The atmosphere of Western-style food is particular about scenery. The good restaurant is generally built in the beautiful mountaintop, park or the revolving dining-room of the city center high building. So Western-style food is “Eat the scenery” but not “Eat taste”。 　　在西方，人们看重就餐的环境。一家好的餐馆最好建在风景如画的山顶、公园或者城市中心的高楼上。所以西餐吃的不是味道，是环境。 　　The atmosphere of Chinese food is particular about taste and participation. Chinese food conquers the world with taste. There is a folk adage in C
