二、课文不厌百遍读，书中自有“黄金屋”

 

课文1　A Child of Two Cuisines(享受跨国美食的孩子)

 

　　  countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork — and chopsticks!

　

[课文对译]　

我在英国长大，我爸爸是英国人，妈妈是中国人。从能拿刀叉——还有筷子——开始，我就一直在享受这两个国家的食物！

[难句破解]　

句①　“Growing up ... Chinese mother”为现在分词短语作原因状语；“ever since ...chopsticks”为ever since引导的时间状语从句。

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 love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not  try even after many years of marriage to my mother. He once told me

the table when he first visited my mother's parents in China. He was even shocked at their wedding when he saw how the Chinese ate almost every part of an animal. Even today, he still does not easily take to eating things like chicken feet.

[课文对译]　

妈妈对四川家乡的食物有着美好的回忆，她经常会做一些辛辣菜肴。正因为如此，爸爸已经逐渐爱上了火锅！但是，尽管已经和妈妈结婚好多年了，爸爸还是有一些不敢尝试的菜肴。他曾告诉我，第一次去中国拜访妈妈的父母时，餐桌上摆的东西让他大吃一惊。在婚礼上，他更是吓了一跳，因为他看到差不多动物的所有部位中国人都吃。直到今天，他还是不习惯吃鸡爪之类的东西。

[难句破解]　

句②　“he was surprised ...in China”为省略了that的宾语从句，其中包含了what引导的宾语从句和when引导的时间状语从句。

But I enjoy that sort of  food myself. Last week, I went to the butcher's and asked, “Do you have pigs' ears？”“No，” the butcher said, pulling at his own ears，“just these ordinary ones.” He   I was joking.

[课文对译]

不过我自己很喜欢吃这类食物。上周，我去肉店问：“你们这里有猪耳朵吗？”“没有，”肉店老板拽了拽自己的耳朵说，“只有这种普通的耳朵。”他肯定觉得我是在开玩笑。

[难句破解]　

句③　此处属于“must have done” 结构，表示对过去发生的动作或状态的肯定推测，意为“想必/准是/一定做了……”。

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! He also does a typical Sunday roast. 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.

[课文对译]

爸爸会做美味的“全套英式早餐”，有培根、鸡蛋、豆子、香肠，还有黄油吐司——不过我和妈妈得想办法让他进厨房(他才动手)！他也会做传统的星期日烤肉大餐，我们都喜欢烤的牛肉和蔬菜，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. 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 across  stinky tofu, a horrible 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 gathered all my courage to take a bite  and was amazed to find it wasn't so bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I'll fall in love with stinky tofu — someday.

[课文对译]

我永远不会忘记自己的第一次中国之旅。妈妈鼓励我尝试各种食物，我也照做了！我什么都喜欢吃。可是就在我以为自己能够接受所有中国食物的时候，我遇到了臭豆腐，一种可怕的灰色食物，样子和气味就像是烧焦的运动鞋。“如果你不想尝试的话，可以不吃。”妈妈说。但我还是鼓足所有勇气咬了一口，结果惊奇地发现也没那么糟。它的味道让我想起了蓝纹奶酪，一种类似的有着浓重气味的食物，你要么会爱上它，要么会恨死它。也许我会爱上臭豆腐的——将来总有那么一天吧。

People say that one man's meat is another man's poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures. To me, biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup!

[课文对译]

人们常说，一个人的佳肴可能是另一个人的毒药，但中英两种文化中的食物我都喜欢。对我来说，用英国饼干搭配盛在细瓷杯中的中国乌龙茶——没有什么比这样一次跨文化的下午茶更棒的了！

[难句破解]　

句④　此处为“否定词＋比较级”结构，表示最高级含义。

 

课文2　Cold Truths(冰箱真相)

 

Is there any truth behind the saying “You are what you eat”？ We put this to the testby asking five people to open their fridge doors and talk about their lifestyles. Can you guess which fridge belongs to which person? Maybe you can recognise your own fridge here!

[课文对译]

俗话说“人如其食”，这是真的吗？为了检验这句话，我们邀请五个人打开自己的冰箱，并聊聊他们的生活方式。你能猜出哪个冰箱属于哪个人吗？也许你能在这里看到自家冰箱的影子哦！

There's not enough room to swing a cat in my small apartment, so I don't cook very often.
