(材料选自外研版新教材必修第二册 Unit 1) ◎ A Child of Two Cuisines① [1]Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I've enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork — and chopsticks! [1]本句为复合句，其中Growing up...Chinese mother为现在分词短语作原因状语，ever since引导时间状语从句。 Mum has sweet memories of the food from her home town in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes. Thanks to this, Dad has come to love② hot pot③！But there are still some dishes that Dad dare④not try even after many years of marriage⑤ to my mother.He once told me [2]he was surprised by what he saw on the table when he first visited my mother's parents in China.He was even shocked at their wedding⑥ when he saw how the Chinese ate almost every part of an animal.Even today, he still does not easily take to⑦ eating things like chicken feet. [2] he was surprised...in China为省略了that的宾语从句，从句中what引导宾语从句，when引导时间状语从句。 But I enjoy that sort⑧ of food myself. Last week, I went to the butcher's⑨ and asked, “Do you have pigs' ears? ” “No，”the butcher said, pulling at⑩ his own ears，“just these ordinary ones.” He [3]must have thought I was joking. [3]此处为“must have done”结构，表示对过去所发生事情的肯定推测，意为“想必/准是/一定做了某事”。 Dad can cook a super⑪“full English breakfast” of bacon⑫， eggs, beans, sausages and toast⑬ with butter⑭— Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen！He also does a typical⑮ Sunday roast⑯.We all love roast beef and vegetables, but Mum says we'd better not eat too much roast food [4]as it may make us suffer⑰ from heat inside our bodies, according to⑱traditional Chinese medicine. I'll never forget my first visit to China.Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food, and I did! I loved everything. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across⑲ stinky tofu⑳， a horribleB21 grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. “You needn't try it if you don't want to，” Mum said, but I gatheredB22all my courage to take a biteB23and was amazed to find it wasn't so bad.It reminded me of blue cheeseB24, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I'll fall in love with stinky tofu — somedayB25. People say that one man's meat is another man's poisonB26, but I feel at homeB27 with food from both my cultures. To me, [5]there's nothing better than a cross­culturalB28 afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolongB29 tea in a fine chinaB30 cup! ◎ ①cuisine /kwɪ'ziːn/ n.烹饪(法) ②come to do sth开始(认识、理解或相信等) ③hot pot火锅 ④dare /deə(r)/ modal verb胆敢，敢于 ⑤marriage /'mærɪdʒ/ n.婚姻 ⑥wedding /'wedɪ/ n.婚礼 wedding ceremony结婚典礼 ⑦take to doing sth开始喜欢做某事 ⑧sort /sɔːt/ n.种，类 ⑨butcher /'bʊtʃə(r)/ n.肉贩；肉店老板 the butcher's肉店，肉铺 ⑩pull at抓住并不断拉扯 ⑪super /'suːpə(r)/ adj.极好的，了不起的 ⑫bacon /'beɪkən/ n.[U](通常切成薄片的)咸猪肉，熏猪肉 ⑬toast /təʊst/ n.烤面包(片)，吐司；(为答谢或祝福某人而进行的)祝酒，敬酒，干杯 drink a toast to...为……干杯 ⑭butter /'bʌtə(r)/ n.
