We usually associate food with something our bodies need — it relieves our hunger and satisfies our appetite. However, comfort food not only serves that purpose, but also makes us feel comfortable mentally and emotionally. Since comfort food is closely connected with positive personal emotions and happy memories, eating it can lift one's spirits. Therefore, comfort food is considered to be food for the soul.
抓事物特征,悟人文内涵
本文是一篇事物说明文。事物说明文一方面是让读者了解和认识某一事物的特征,另一方面则是借所说明的事物来传达某一道理。如本文以“治愈系食物”为说明对象,既介绍了治愈系食物的定义、特点、功效,又探究了治愈系食物背后的情感和文化属性:来源于家庭的情感属性和以民族认同感为核心的文化属性。阅读本文时,应在了解“治愈系食物”的基础上,透过现象看本质,理解饮食背后的情感因素和文化因素。
内化读文技法
No.2 美表达/强化写作“基本功”
(一)赏用词之妙
1.With pleasure, I remember the lazy Sunday afternoons I used to spend in the warmth of my grandma's flat ...
赏析:本句中的“lazy”一词写活了整个场景,让读者仿佛置身于那些温馨、慵懒的周日午后。
2.I take my time over every spoonful, gently rolling the silky dessert around my mouth and enjoying the perfect marriage of rice and milk.
赏析:本句中使用了短语take one's time over sth.,表示“慢慢做……,从容不迫地做……”,描写出了作者享受美食时的放松心情。其他同义表达还有:take one's time to do sth./doing sth.。
3.They vary from person to person, depending on our own unique experiences that have shaped our lives.
赏析:本句中使用了现在分词短语作状语,描述了我们自己独特的生活经历塑造了我们现在的生活。同时,句中shape一词为名词动用,彰显了表达的生动性。
4.That's certainly true for me. Comfort food tastes good and by building an emotional bond with our happy memories, always makes us feel good.
赏析:本句中使用了副词 certainly及always,加强了语气,强调了治愈系食物能让我们联想起快乐的回忆,给我们带来好心情。在写作中灵活使用修饰词,可以渲染表达中的情感色彩。
(1)单句语法填空
①His idea __________(shape) by his experience during the war.
②Since they don't get along well with each other, I __________(certain) won't invite them together to the party.
[仿写训练]
was shaped
certainly
(2)完成句子

④I like to ________________dinner with my family.

spent a lazy day on the beach
take my time over
(二)赏句式之高
1.Whenever I feel lonely, I have a secret recipe that never fails: rice, milk and sugar, cooked low and slow.
赏析:本句中使用了whenever引导的让步状语从句,表达出了无论何时作者感到孤独,她总有自己的秘密食谱来治愈、抚慰自己孤独的心灵。“疑问词+-ever”引导的让步状语从句的运用在写作中可以加强语气,令语言更生动。
2.Of course, each person's comfort food largely depends on where they come from — for a Chinese it might be a plate of dumplings with a saucer of vinegar, and for a native of the UK it might be the classic fish and chips, served hot, salty and sour.
赏析:本句中运用了where 引导的宾语从句,描述了治愈系食物在很大程度上取决于人们来自哪里,并以中国和英国为例说明此现象。
①__________________________, my good friend always comes to comfort me.
无论何时我感到沮丧,我的好朋友总是来安慰我。
②No one here knows________________________.
这里没有人知道这个男孩是从哪里来的。
[仿写训练] (完成句子)
Whenever I feel frustrated
where the boy comes from
(三)赏修辞之功
Sometimes the smell alone can do the trick, not to mention the lovely creamy flavour, which works like a time machine immediately transporting me back to my sunny childhood.
赏析:本句运用了比喻的修辞手法,把治愈系食物的味道比喻为一台时光机器,将作者带回到阳光灿烂的童年,生动形象地描述出治愈系食物的作用。
He was so worried that he looked like a cat on hot bricks.
______________________________
[仿写训练] (翻译句子,体会比喻修辞的用法)
他心急如焚,如同热锅上的蚂蚁。
(四)赏描摹之韵(写作手法)
In its broadest sense, comfort food refers to any food that makes us feel better.
赏析:此处使用了下定义的写作手法告诉读者什么是治愈系食物,并使用了that引导的定语从句作了详细解释。下定义是一种用简洁明确的语言对事物的本质特征作概括的说明方法。下定义是说明文常用的说明方法,能让事物的特征更突出,使说明更通俗易懂。表示下定义的关键词除了本文中的refer to,常见的还有namely、in other words、that is to say、or rather等。
No.3 慧人生/以文化人“增才情”
饺子是中国传统食物,是中国北方民间的主食和地方小吃,也是年节食品。过节吃饺子的习俗主要存在于北方地区。对于中国北方人来说,饺子早就超出了食物本身的意义,成为一种情结。阅读本文,体会饮食背后关联的情感和文化属性:来源于家庭的情感属性和以民族认同感为核心的文化属性。
Some Chinese put a white thread inside a dumpling, and the one who eats that dumpling is supposed to possess longevity.Sometimes a copper coin is put in a dumpling, and the one who eats it is supposed to become wealthy.
Dumplings should be arranged in lines instead of circles, because circles of dumplings are supposed to mean one's life will go round in circles, never going anywhere.

I have a neighbour we call “Happy”.I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻的) word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden.They spent many happy hours together working on it.Most of the neighbours watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden.As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben's beans,we all wished we also had such a large garden.As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighbourhood over for an “all-day food feast”.We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning.We didn't know what was about to take place.
By 9:00 a.m., there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra and squash.By 10:00 a.m., there was lots of laughter.We shared a lot of stories.By five o'clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer.After dinner, we played games.As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty (收成) of the day, already packaged and frozen.What a delightful gift!
Well, the point wasn't so much about the food.The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another's company.None of it would have happened if it had not been for Happy and Ben's garden.Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decide to plant a garden.And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

Since my son went to college in Chicago, I made quarterly trips there for the next three years.My friend George was a cook there and he knew many outstanding restaurants.One of them was a Chinese restaurant called The Bird.It was owned and operated by Chef Benny Moy who happened to be an old friend of George's.
The dishes Benny prepared were unique, and everything was in his mind when he was cooking.Just by changing, adding or removing an ingredient or two, he could come up with an entirely new dish.
As a fan of Chinese food, I was always attracted by its recipes.After a year went by, I finally gathered the courage to ask Benny if I could spend a week learning cooking in his restaurant kitchen.To my joy, he agreed readily.
I was very nervous the first day I showed up.But I didn't have to wait long to find out how I would start.“Put on this jacket, go over to the stove and clean the two woks (锅) there,” he said.I was excited.What a beginning! I was allowed to clean the master's woks.
Then things just seemed to fall into place.Benny was very concentrated when he was doing preparing work or cooking.I would just follow him around, trying very hard not to get in his way.Besides, I would talk into my hand-held recorder to document everything he did; in effect, I had all his recipes.He had a teaching style that was all his own.And I just watched and learned everything he did by heart.
At the end of the week, when my time in the kitchen was over, I came away feeling that I have had the most exciting, unusual, and unique cooking experiences.Plus, now I know how to cook Benny's most-known dish: Moo shu pork.
