淄博喊你去吃烧烤啦!不知道大家最近被淄博的烧烤刷屏没?手掌摊开,一张薄饼,折叠两次沾酱料,再摊开加上小葱和烤串,霸气地撸下铁签……
让我们一起走进今天的China Daily精读文章,感受一下淄博烧烤的魅力吧!
Barbecue is popular in China, but Zibo's barbecue is different on three counts; it's made on a stove, and is served with flatbread and dressings. The skewers are 70-80 percent cooked before they are brought to the table, where diners can finish cooking them on their own stoves, which lends a sense of participation. Diners are served flatbreads, scallions and other dressings at the table so they are able to assemble their own barbecue parcels, in much the same way Peking duck is eaten.
淄博烧烤该怎么吃?
"Barbecue is popular in China, but Zibo barbecue is different on three counts",烧烤在我们国家非常受欢迎,但是淄博烧烤有三个特点。
这里on three counts是一个固定用法,相当于in three ways。
▌on all/several/both counts 各个/几个/双方面,固定词组
例句:
I disagree with you on both counts.
我对你的两个观点均不敢苟同。
有哪些特点呢?
"It's made on a stove, and is served with flatbread and dressings",那就是小烤炉、小饼和配料。
Flatbread,扁的面包,这里指的是山东小饼。
Dressing指配料,这个单词的本意是我们在沙拉上面放的一些调料。在感恩节的时候,美国人会吃火鸡,火鸡肚子里面会装一些面包或各种食材,这些塞进火鸡肚子里的填充料也可以用dressing来表示。
在文章这里指的是小葱,还有酱料在内的吃烧烤时所用的一些配料。烤炉、小饼和蘸料就是淄博烧烤的灵魂三件套。
"The skewers are 70-80 percent cooked before they are brought to the table",烤串送上桌前已经七八分熟。
Skewer本来指的是串烧烤的一些签子,在这里指代的就是烤串。
而table后还有一个where引导的定语从句修饰the table,"where diners can finish cooking them on their own stoves",在桌子上顾客们可以在自己的小烤炉上把它们烤熟。
"Which lends a sense of participation",这种吃法让顾客有参与感,which指自己卷烤串和配料这件事。
▌lend v. 给予,增添(某种特性)
例句:
The presence of members of the royal family lent a certain dignity to the ceremony.
王室成员的出席为这场典礼增添了一种庄严的气氛。
它表示借给某人东西,相反借入就是borrow。但在文章中是另外一个意思,“给予,增添”是比较正式的用法。
"Diners are served flatbreads, scallions and other dressings at the table so they are able to assemble their own barbecue parcels",餐桌上有小饼、小葱和蘸料,顾客用小饼自己卷烤串和配料。
▌assemble
❶ v. 聚集;集合;收集
例句:
All the students were asked to assemble in the main hall.
全体学生被通知到大礼堂集合。
❷ v. 装配;组装
例句:
The cupboard is easy to assemble.
这个橱柜容易组装。
►知识拓展:
【同根词】assembly
本段结尾,还有一个介词引导的比较状语从句" in much the same way Peking duck is eaten",跟北京烤鸭的吃法基本上是一样的。
