Comfort food每当感到孤独时,我都有一个屡试不爽的秘方:米饭、牛奶和糖,小火慢煮而成。 无论我心情有多糟糕,这完美的组合总能让我精神振奋。有时候,光是闻到那味道就足够了,更不用说那可爱的奶油口感了,它就像一台时光机,瞬间把我带回阳光灿烂的童年。我愉快地回忆起那些我曾在外婆温暖的公寓里度过慵懒的周日下午,听她讲精彩的故事,贪婪地吃着一碗又一碗她做的美味米布丁。我细细品味每一勺,让那丝滑的甜点在口中轻柔滚动,尽情享受米饭与牛奶的完美交融。不知不觉间,我又变得开心起来。
我吃米布丁的经历阐释了“治愈系食物”的独特力量。从最广义上说,治愈系食物指的是任何能让我们感觉更好的食物。在这篇文章中,我们将讨论一种特定类型的治愈系食物,其力量主要在于它所唤起的联想。它常常能通过帮助我们回忆起所爱之人、事或地方的快乐记忆来弥补糟糕的情绪。
我们的治愈系食物极具个人色彩。它们因人而异,取决于那些塑造了我们人生的独特经历。如果我们在家里吃着某些食物长大,那么这些食物往往就会与积极的情感联系在一起。例如,我们常把鸡汤与快乐的童年联系起来,它的味道与被关爱呵护的感觉紧密相连。当我们再次吃到它时,便会开启一段曾被疼爱、被照顾的时光的回忆,这让我们振作起来。
对于背井离乡的人来说,这种幸福感和归属感会变得尤为重要。据一些食品专家称,文化的某些方面人们可能会很快失去,但对于食物,则有更多机会与记忆、家庭和地方建立联系。最难舍弃的是伴随你长大的食物。当然,每个人的治愈系食物在很大程度上取决于其来自何处——对一个中国人来说,可能是一盘饺子配一碟醋,而对一个英国本土人来说,则是经典的炸鱼薯条,热乎乎的,咸咸的,酸酸的。一口治愈系食物就能将我们带回文化根源,给予我们渴望的“家的味道”,并缓解思乡之情。
这对我来说确实如此。治愈系食物不仅味道好,而且通过与我们的快乐记忆建立情感纽带,总能让我们感觉良好。它不仅仅是一碗面条或鸡汤,它是灵魂的食物。
Whenever I feel lonely, I have a secret recipe that never fails: rice ,milk and sugar, cooked low and slow. No matter how bad my mood is ,that perfect combination is always enough to lift my spirits. 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. With pleasure, I remember the lazy Sunday afternoons I used to spend in the warmth of my grandma’s flat, listening to her wonderful stories and greedily eating bowl after bowl of her delicious rice pudding. I take my time over every spoonful, gently rolling the silky dessert around my mouth and enjoying the perfect marriage of rice and milk. Before I know it ,I’m happy again.
My experience with rice pudding illustrates the unique power of “comfort food”. In its broadest sense ,comfort food refers to any food that makes us feel better;. In this article ,we will talk about a particular type of comfort food whose power mainly lies in the associations it calls to mind. It often makes up for bad feelings by helping us recall happy memories of the people ,things or places we love.
Our comfort foods are highly individual. They vary from person to person, depending on our own unique experiences that have shaped our lives. If we grow up eating certain foods in our family, then those foods tend to be linked with positive emotions. For example, we often connect chicken soup with a happy childhood and its flavor becomes tied up with the feeling of being taken care of . When we eat it again, we unlock memories of a time when we were loved and looked after, and this cheers us up.
The feeling of happiness and sense of belonging can become particularly important for people who move away from their home country. According to some food experts, there are some aspects of culture that people will lose right away, but with food ,there are more opportunities to connect to memory, family and place. It is hardest to give up the food that you grow up with. 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 the classic fish and chips, served hot ,salty and sour. One mouthful of comfort food takes us back to our cultural roots ,giving us the “taste of home” that we cry out for and relieving feelings of homesickness.
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. It isn’t just a bowl of noodles or chicken soup. It’s food for the soul.

Comfort food
①that never fails相当于that never fails to work/help(意为屡试不爽)
When I'm stressed out, I play a classical piano piece that never fails to calm me down.
(当我压力山大时,我会放一首古典钢琴曲,这首曲子总能让我平静下来。)
cooked low and slow 相当于which is cooked low and slow(由此可看出用非谓语往往比用从句显得更为简洁)
② no matter how引导让步状语从句,
no matter +特殊疑问词只能引导状语从句,不能引导名词性从句。however, whatever等既能引导状语从句又能引导名词性从句
③现在分词充当后置定语,修饰machine, 和machine构成逻辑上的主动关系。
④⑤非谓语动词充当状语,表伴随状况
eg: Every morning, I sit by the window with a cup of coffee, watching the busy street wake up and listening to the cheerful chirping of sparrows.
每天早上,我端着咖啡坐在窗边,看着繁忙的街道苏醒,听着麻雀欢快的啁啾。
⑥相当于because they depend on our own unique experiences that have shaped our lives.但是很明显用分词的话句子显得简洁易懂。
⑦eating certain food in our family现在分词充当伴随状况
(思考:④⑤中的分词前为什么有逗号,而此处却没有逗号)
⑧动名词做宾语(注意:如何确定用主动式还是被动式?)
⑨相当于,which is served hot ,salty and sour.起补充说明的作用
⑩分词充当状语,注意这里的并列结构,在语法填空中非常常见,写作中也常用到。
“主句 + 逗号 + V-ing1 + and + V-ing2”(注意这个写作公式)
eg: (1)He stood by the window ,feeling the breeze softly touch his face and enjoying the beautiful birdsong.
(2)He threw himself into the sofa, listening to the soft music and recalling the best memories in his childhood.

每当我感冒或心情低落时,母亲的鸡汤总能奇迹般地治愈我。经过数小时慢炖,加入生姜、大蒜和整只鸡,金黄的汤底散发出温暖整个厨房的香气,仿佛一条柔软的毯子将我轻轻裹住。无论鼻子多塞、头多沉,第一口热气腾腾的鲜汤下肚,瞬间就让我头脑清醒、喉咙舒畅。它远不止是治感冒的良药,更像一个液态的拥抱,带我回到儿时生病的日子——那时母亲坐在床边,轻拭我的额头,低声讲故事,直到我安然入睡。不知不觉间,我便感到安心、被呵护,浑身充满了康复的力量。

对我最好的朋友来说,她成长于一个海滨小镇,她的安慰食物便是挤上柠檬汁的烤鱼。鲜鱼简单调味后,放在炭火上慢烤,直到鱼皮酥脆金黄,散发出的烟熏香气能立刻让她想起海边慵懒的夏夜。若在阴雨的午后我们一同吃这道菜,她常会闭眼微笑,仿佛瞬间回到祖父带她出海钓鱼、然后在沙滩上现烤现吃的美好时光。嫩滑的鱼肉搭配酸爽的柠檬汁,唤醒了记忆中海风、欢笑和自由的气息——那是城市生活永远无法替代的。只一口,乡愁便烟消云散,取而代之的是纯粹的幸福与满足。

而我自己的终极安慰食物,则是一碗简单的燕麦粥,淋上蜂蜜、铺上香蕉片。在炉灶上慢慢熬煮至浓稠绵密,口感柔软而令人满足,淡淡的甜味总能驱散我最阴郁的清晨。多年以来,我都和爷爷一起用这份早餐,每一勺粥都清晰浮现出他温暖的笑容和边搅动锅子边哼唱老歌的样子。与那些短暂刺激味蕾的辛辣小吃或精致甜点不同,这碗朴素的粥通过连接我过去那段时光——那时生活节奏更慢,爱意都盛在热腾腾的碗里——来抚慰我的灵魂。难怪每当我压力缠身时,总会转向燕麦粥:它不只提供营养,更成为我情感的港湾。

Comfort food每当感到孤独时,我都有一个屡试不爽的秘方:米饭、牛奶和糖,小火慢煮而成。 无论我心情有多糟糕,这完美的组合总能让我精神振奋。有时候,光是闻到那味道就足够了,更不用说那可爱的奶油口感了,它就像一台时光机,瞬间把我带回阳光灿烂的童年。我愉快地回忆起那些我曾在外婆温暖的公寓里度过慵懒的周日下午,听她讲精彩的故事,贪婪地吃着一碗又一碗她做的美味米布丁。我细细品味每一勺,让那丝滑的甜点在口中轻柔滚动,尽情享受米饭与牛奶的完美交融。不知不觉间,我又变得开心起来。
我吃米布丁的经历阐释了“治愈系食物”的独特力量。从最广义上说,治愈系食物指的是任何能让我们感觉更好的食物。在这篇文章中,我们将讨论一种特定类型的治愈系食物,其力量主要在于它所唤起的联想。它常常能通过帮助我们回忆起所爱之人、事或地方的快乐记忆来弥补糟糕的情绪。
我们的治愈系食物极具个人色彩。它们因人而异,取决于那些塑造了我们人生的独特经历。如果我们在家里吃着某些食物长大,那么这些食物往往就会与积极的情感联系在一起。例如,我们常把鸡汤与快乐的童年联系起来,它的味道与被关爱呵护的感觉紧密相连。当我们再次吃到它时,便会开启一段曾被疼爱、被照顾的时光的回忆,这让我们振作起来。
对于背井离乡的人来说,这种幸福感和归属感会变得尤为重要。据一些食品专家称,文化的某些方面人们可能会很快失去,但对于食物,则有更多机会与记忆、家庭和地方建立联系。最难舍弃的是伴随你长大的食物。当然,每个人的治愈系食物在很大程度上取决于其来自何处——对一个中国人来说,可能是一盘饺子配一碟醋,而对一个英国本土人来说,则是经典的炸鱼薯条,热乎乎的,咸咸的,酸酸的。一口治愈系食物就能将我们带回文化根源,给予我们渴望的“家的味道”,并缓解思乡之情。
这对我来说确实如此。治愈系食物不仅味道好,而且通过与我们的快乐记忆建立情感纽带,总能让我们感觉良好。它不仅仅是一碗面条或鸡汤,它是灵魂的食物。
Whenever I feel lonely, I have a secret recipe that never fails: rice ,milk and sugar, cooked low and slow. No matter how bad my mood is ,that perfect combination is always enough to lift my spirits. 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. With pleasure, I remember the lazy Sunday afternoons I used to spend in the warmth of my grandma’s flat, listening to her wonderful stories and greedily eating bowl after bowl of her delicious rice pudding. I take my time over every spoonful, gently rolling the silky dessert around my mouth and enjoying the perfect marriage of rice and milk. Before I know it ,I’m happy again.
My experience with rice pudding illustrates the unique power of “comfort food”. In its broadest sense ,comfort food refers to any food that makes us feel better;. In this article ,we will talk about a particular type of comfort food whose power mainly lies in the associations it calls to mind. It often makes up for bad feelings by helping us recall happy memories of the people ,things or places we love.
Our comfort foods are highly individual. They vary from person to person, depending on our own unique experiences that have shaped our lives. If we grow up eating certain foods in our family, then those foods tend to be linked with positive emotions. For example, we often connect chicken soup with a happy childhood and its flavor becomes tied up with the feeling of being taken care of . When we eat it again, we unlock memories of a time when we were loved and looked after, and this cheers us up.
The feeling of happiness and sense of belonging can become particularly important for people who move away from their home country. According to some food experts, there are some aspects of culture that people will lose right away, but with food ,there are more opportunities to connect to memory, family and place. It is hardest to give up the food that you grow up with. 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 the classic fish and chips, served hot ,salty and sour. One mouthful of comfort food takes us back to our cultural roots ,giving us the “taste of home” that we cry out for and relieving feelings of homesickness.
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. It isn’t just a bowl of noodles or chicken soup. It’s food for the soul.

Comfort food
①that never fails相当于that never fails to work/help(意为屡试不爽)
When I'm stressed out, I play a classical piano piece that never fails to calm me down.
(当我压力山大时,我会放一首古典钢琴曲,这首曲子总能让我平静下来。)
cooked low and slow 相当于which is cooked low and slow(由此可看出用非谓语往往比用从句显得更为简洁)
② no matter how引导让步状语从句,
no matter +特殊疑问词只能引导状语从句,不能引导名词性从句。however, whatever等既能引导状语从句又能引导名词性从句
③现在分词充当后置定语,修饰machine, 和machine构成逻辑上的主动关系。
④⑤非谓语动词充当状语,表伴随状况
eg: Every morning, I sit by the window with a cup of coffee, watching the busy street wake up and listening to the cheerful chirping of sparrows.
每天早上,我端着咖啡坐在窗边,看着繁忙的街道苏醒,听着麻雀欢快的啁啾。
⑥相当于because they depend on our own unique experiences that have shaped our lives.但是很明显用分词的话句子显得简洁易懂。
⑦eating certain food in our family现在分词充当伴随状况
(思考:④⑤中的分词前为什么有逗号,而此处却没有逗号)
⑧动名词做宾语(注意:如何确定用主动式还是被动式?)
⑨相当于,which is served hot ,salty and sour.起补充说明的作用
⑩分词充当状语,注意这里的并列结构,在语法填空中非常常见,写作中也常用到。
“主句 + 逗号 + V-ing1 + and + V-ing2”(注意这个写作公式)
eg: (1)He stood by the window ,feeling the breeze softly touch his face and enjoying the beautiful birdsong.
(2)He threw himself into the sofa, listening to the soft music and recalling the best memories in his childhood.

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. It isn’t just a bowl of noodles or chicken soup. It’s food for the soul.
Read the passage again and then answer the following questions:
Question 1:How does the author introduce the topic of comfort food? What do you think of this technique?
Possible answer: The author introduces the topic with a personal experience from her childhood that illustrates the power comfort food has to lift our spirits ,before continuing with a more detailed description of exactly how comfort food does that.This technique is quite effective ,as it attracts the reader’s attention and inspires interest in the topic of discussion.
Question 2:How to understand definitions in a text?
Possible answer: In some texts, definitions are given to key concepts with such expressions as refer to .In some cases, in a broad sense or in a narrow sense is used to make definition more accurate.
Question 3: How can we make a definition?
Possible answer: We can use “The Formal Sentence Definition” method to make a definition.
This is the most standard method. You place the term into a broad category and then explain what makes it unique within that category
· Formula: Term + is/refers to + [Category] + that/which + [Unique Characteristics].
· Example (Simple): "A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that forms over warm ocean waters and features sustained winds exceeding 74 mph." “
· 飓风是一种形成于温暖海洋水域上方的热带气旋,其特点是持续风速超过每小时74英里
· Example (Abstract): "Resilience is the psychological capacity that enables an individual to adapt and recover from severe adversity without permanent psychological damage."
· “心理韧性(或复原力)是一种心理能力,它使个体能够在面对严重逆境时进行适应并从中恢复,且不留下永久性的心理创伤。”
·
Question 4: How does the author explain the relationship between comfort food and one’s sense of belonging in paragraph 4?
Possible answer: The author quotes some food experts’ belief about the connection between food and “memory, family and place” , to support the idea that the food rooted in one’s cultural heritage helps shape one’s sense of belonging. The author then shows this relationship by providing examples from two different cultural backgrounds.:“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.” The author summarizes that this kind of comfort food takes us back to our cultural roots, gives us the “taste of home “ and relieves our feelings of homesickness.
Question 5: In your opinion, is there any difference between one’s comfort food and favourite food? Give your reasons.
Possible answer: Certainly. In my opinion, there is a significant and meaningful difference between one’s comfort food and one’s favourite food. To some extent ,favourite food is something that pleases your palate while comfort food is something that heals your soul. Favourite food is chosen for enjoyment while comfort food is sought reactively, usually under stress, sadness or loneliness. It acts as an emotional band-aid:

Simmered for hours with ginger, garlic and a whole chicken, the golden broth fills the kitchen with a warmth that seems to wrap around me like a soft blanket. No matter how stuffy my nose or heavy my head, that first spoonful, steaming and fragrant, instantly clears my mind and soothes my sore throat. More than just a cure for the flu, it is a liquid hug that carries me back to my childhood sick days, when my mother would sit by my bed, gently wiping my forehead and whispering stories until I fell asleep.

Freshly caught and simply seasoned, the fish is cooked over charcoal until its skin turns crispy and golden, releasing a smoky aroma that instantly reminds her of lazy summer evenings by the sea.

The tender, flaky meat, combined with the tangy juice, unlocks memories of salty wind, laughter, and a sense of freedom that no city life can replace. One bite, and her homesickness fades away, replaced by pure, joyful contentment.

Cooked slowly on the stove until thick and creamy, it offers a texture that is both soft and satisfying, and its gentle sweetness never fails to brighten my darkest mornings. Having eaten this same breakfast for years with my grandpa, I find that each spoonful brings back vivid pictures of his warm smile and the way he used to hum old songs while stirring the pot. Unlike spicy snacks or rich desserts that excite my taste buds temporarily, this humble porridge comforts my soul by connecting me to a time when life was slower and love was measured in steaming bowls. No wonder, then, that whenever stress overwhelms me, I turn to oatmeal—not just for nutrition, but for the emotional anchor it has become
