(节选自译林版选择性必修第一册 Unit 1) Comfort food 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 flavour 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 it might be 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. 1．What is “comfort food”？ A．It is food that is delicious.

[结构分析] 本句为主从复合句。I used to...my grandma’s flat为省略了关系词that/which的定语从句，修饰先行词the lazy Sunday afternoons；listening to her wonderful stories和greedily eating bowl after bowl of her delicious rice pudding为现在分词短语作伴随状语。 [汉语翻译] 怀着愉悦的心情，我想起了过去那些慵懒的周日午后，我常常在奶奶温暖的公寓里度过，听着她讲那些精彩的故事，还贪婪地一碗接一碗地吃着她做的美味大米布丁。 2．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. [结构分析] 本句为主从复合句。giving us the “taste of home”...and relieving feelings of homesickness为现在分词短语作状语；that引导定语从句，在从句中作宾语，修饰先行词the “taste of home”。 [汉语翻译] 一口慰藉心灵的家乡美食能让我们追溯到自己的文化根源，带给我们渴望的 “家的味道”，并缓解我们的思乡之情。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
