Conversation 1

Mary:Jane,help yourself to these Boston cream pies. You will love it,I believe.

Jane:Thank you. It tastes very nice.But I'm confused.What did you call it just now?

Mary:Boston cream pies.

Jane:But I think they're cakes,not pies. Pies are wedge-like.

Mary:Oh,yeah. They look like cakes,but we call them pies,because the dividing line between a cake and a pie is vague.Probably,the first versions might be baked in pie tins,as pie tins were more common than cake pans.

Jane:Oh,I got it. Pies hand down their names from their originality.

Mary:Yes. I'd like to tell you more stories behind the traditional food.

Jane:Great!Thanks.

对话1:

玛丽:简,你尝尝这些波士顿奶油派。相信你会喜欢。

简:谢谢。真好吃。但是我有点困惑。你刚才说的,这个叫什么名来着?

玛丽:波士顿奶油派啊。

简:但是它们看起来就是蛋糕啊,不是派。派是那种楔形的。

玛丽:嗯,没错。它们看起来是像蛋糕,但是我们却称之为派,因为蛋糕和派的区别很模糊,也许,第一个是在派罐里做的吧,因为派罐比蛋糕盘更常见。

简:明白了。“派”的称呼是从它的诞生方式中产生的呀!

玛丽:是的,我还会告诉你更多美食背后的小故事呢。

简:太棒了。谢谢。

There is some dispute about who came up with the original hot wing appetizer-Buffalo Wings,but most credit the Anchor Bar in where else but Buffalo,New York,USA.

关于布法罗鸡翅的起源,有一些争议,但大多数人认为布法罗鸡翅起源于美国纽约州布法罗的船锚酒吧。

The historic creation date for Buffalo Wings was October 30,1964,when owner Teressa Bellissimo was faced with feeding her son and his friends a late snack. Having an excess of chicken wings on hand,she fried up the wings,dipped them in a buttered spicy chile sauce,and served them with celery and blue cheese dressing as a dipping sauce to cut the heat.The wings were an instant hit.

布法罗起源于1964年10月30日,船锚酒吧老板泰瑞莎·贝里斯莫给她的儿子及他的朋友们做夜宵。由于鸡翅过剩,她把这些鸡翅经过油炸,用黄油辣酱做沾酱,再配以芹菜和蓝纹奶酪做调味品。这种鸡翅顿时风靡起来。

The city of Buffalo has designated July 29 as"Chicken Wing Day,"and today,the Anchor Bar serves up more than 70 thousand pounds of chicken per month!The Anchor Bar original recipe for hot sauce is now sold commercially.

布法罗市把7月29日定为“鸡翅庆祝日”,如今的船锚酒吧每月出售7万磅的鸡翅。该酒吧的原始酱汁配方也出售。

Many restaurants across the United States soon jumped on the chicken wing bandwagon. In fact,it is difficult to find a restaurant that does not carry some version of chicken wings on the menu.Many have also come up with different flavors for chicken wings,ranging from jerked wings to Oriental flavors.So even if you can't handle the hot stuff,there are chicken wing recipes for you.

美国许多饭馆开始推崇鸡翅这道菜。实际上,大多数很难发现他们各有什么不同。但是也有不同口味的,有重口味的,东方清淡口味的,所以如果吃不了辣的,还有其他的口味可供选择。
