Understanding ideas Unit 1 Food for thought A child of Two Cuisines 享受跨国美食的孩子 Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, 我在英国长大，我爸爸是英国人，妈妈是中国人。 I’ve enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork—and chopsticks! 从能拿刀叉——还有筷子——开始，我就一直享受这两国的食物！ Mum has sweet memories of the food from her home town in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes. 妈妈对四川家乡的食物有着美好的回忆，她经常会做一些辣菜。 Thanks to this, Dad has come to love hot pot! 正因为如此，爸爸已经逐渐爱上了火锅！ But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother. 但是，虽然与妈妈结婚多年，爸爸还是有一些不敢尝试的菜肴。 He once told me he was surprised by what he saw on the table when he first visited my mother’s parents in China. 他曾告诉我，第一次去中国拜访我妈妈的父母时，餐桌上摆的东西让他大吃一惊。 He was even shocked at their wedding when he saw how the Chinese ate almost every part of an animal. 在婚礼上，他更是吓了一跳，因为他差不多动物的所有部位中国人都吃。 Even today, he still does not easily take to eating things like chicken feet. 直到今天，他还是不习惯吃鸡爪之类的东西。 But I enjoy that sort of food myself. 不过我自己很喜欢这类食物。 Last week, I went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears?” 上周，我去肉店问：“你们这里有猪耳朵吗？” “No,” the butcher said, pulling at his own ears, “just these ordinary ones.” “没有，”肉店老板拽了拽自己的耳朵说，“只有这种普通的耳朵。” He must have thought I was joking. 他肯定觉得我是在开玩笑。 Dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter—Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! 爸爸会做美味的“全套英式早餐”，有培根、鸡蛋、豆子、香肠和黄油吐司——不过我和妈妈得想办法让他进厨房！ He also does a typical Sunday roast. 他还会做传统的星期天烤肉大餐。 We all love roast beef and vegetables, but Mum says we’d better not eat too much roast food as it may make us suffer from heat inside our bodies, according to traditional Chinese medicine. 我们都喜欢烤牛肉和蔬菜，但妈妈说最好不要吃太多烧烤食物，因为根据传统中医的说法，这会引起上火。 I’ll never forget my first visit to China. 我永远不会忘记自己的第一次中国之旅。 Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food, and I did! I loved everything. 妈妈鼓励我尝试各种食物，我照做了！我什么都喜欢吃。 Bu
