Comfort food
[1]Whenever I feel lonely,I have a secret recipe that never fails:rice,milk and sugar,cooked low and slow. [2]No matter how bad my mood is, that perfect combination① is always enough to lift my spirits. Sometimes the smell alone can do the trick②,not to mention③ the

lovely creamy flavour, [3]which works like a time machine④ 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 greedily⑤ eating bowl after bowl of her delicious rice pudding.
[3]此处为which引导非限制性定语从句。

My experience with rice pudding illustrates⑨ the unique power of “comfort food”. In its broadest sense, comfort food refers to any food that makes us feel better. [5]In this article, we will talk about a particular type of comfort food whose power mainly lies in the associations⑩ it calls to mind. It often makes up for⑪ bad feelings by helping us recall happy memories of the people, things or places we love.
[5]本句是一个复合句,句中whose引导定语从句,修饰先行词food;在whose引导的定语从句中it calls to mind是省略了关系词的定语从句,修饰先行词associations。

Our comfort foods are highly individual. [6]They vary⑫ 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 linked⑬ with positive emotions⑭. For example, we often connect chicken soup with a happy childhood and its flavour becomes tied up with the feeling of being taken care of⑮. [7]When we eat it again, we unlock memories of a time when we were loved and looked after, and this cheers us up.
[6]本句是一个复合句,“depending on our own unique experiences that have shaped our lives”是动词-ing形式作状语,其中含有that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词experiences。
[7]本句是一个复合句,句中第一个when引导时间状语从句,第二个when引导定语从句,修饰先行词a time。

[8]The feeling of happiness and sense of belonging⑯ can become particularly important for people who move away from their home country. [9]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.
[8]本句是一个复合句,主句的主语是The feeling和sense;who引导定语从句,修饰先行词people。
[9]本句是一个复合句,that引导定语从句,修饰先行词culture;but连接两个并列句;句中还含有不定式短语作定语,修饰opportunities。

[10]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 native⑰ of the UK it might be the classic fish and chips, served hot, salty⑱ and sour. One mouthful of comfort food takes us back to our cultural roots, giving us the “taste of home” that we cry out for⑲ and relieving⑳ feelings of homesickness㉑.
[10]本句的句式结构为“It is+adj.+to do sth.”,句中It是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式;that引导定语从句,修饰先行词food。

That's certainly true for me. Comfort food tastes good and by building an emotional bond㉒ 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.

治愈系食物
无论何时我感到孤独,我都有一个永远也不会让我失望的秘方:大米、牛奶和糖,小火慢炖。无论我的心情有多糟,那种完美的组合总是足以让我心情舒畅。有时候只是闻到气味就有这种效果,更不用说那美妙的奶油味道了,它就像一台时光机,立刻把我带回到阳光灿烂的童年。我愉快地回忆起那些慵懒的星期天下午,我常常在奶奶温暖的公寓里度过,听她讲精彩的故事,贪婪地吃着一碗又一碗美味的米饭布丁。我细细品尝每一勺,让丝滑的甜点在我的口中轻轻转动并享受着大米和牛奶的完美融合。不知不觉,我又高兴起来了。

我吃米饭布丁的经历说明了“治愈系食物”的独特功效。从最广泛的意义上讲,治愈系食物是指任何能让我们感觉更好的食物。在这篇文章中,我们将讨论一种特殊类型的治愈系食物,它的功效主要在于它唤起人们的联想。它常常通过帮助我们快乐地回忆我们所爱的人、事物或地方来弥补不好的感觉。

我们的治愈系食物是高度个性化的。它们因人而异,这取决于我们自己独特的、塑造了我们的生活的经历。如果我们从小就吃家里的某些食物,那么那些食物往往与积极的情绪有关。例如,我们经常把鸡汤和快乐的童年联系在一起,把鸡汤的味道和被照顾的感觉联系在一起。当我们再次吃它时,我们打开了被爱和照顾的记忆,这让我们振奋起来。

对于离开自己的祖国的人来说,幸福感和归属感变得尤为重要。根据一些食品专家的说法,人们会马上失去文化的某些方面,但有了食品,人们就有更多的机会把记忆、家庭和场所联系起来。放弃你吃着长大的食物是最难的。当然,每个人的治愈系食物很大程度上取决他们来自哪里——对中国人来说,可能是一盘饺子和一碟醋,对英国人来说,可能是经典的炸鱼和薯条,有热的、咸的和酸的。一口治愈系食物带我们回到自己的文化根源,带给我们迫切需要的“家的味道”,以解思乡之情。

对我来说确实如此。治愈系食物味道很好,并通过与我们快乐的记忆建立情感纽带,总是让我们感觉很好。这不仅仅是一碗面条或鸡汤。它是灵魂的食物。
