主播:梅莉(法国)+Wendi(中国)
歌曲:I’m Coming Home
近期,外媒评选出了“世界上最好吃的50种面包”,看看都有哪些面包入围。
提到最好的吃的面包,咱们主播梅莉第一反应就是French baguette(法棍)。
The French baguette is a long (长的), thin bread (薄面包) that we eat with basically everything(基本上什么都可以搭配着吃), like butter(黄油), jam(果酱),nutella(巧克力酱)。You can also make sandwiches with it(用它做三明治) and it’s really good.
除了法棍面包呢,中国也有一种“面包”入选,那就是烧饼,而且还排在法棍前面呢,hahaha...
01. 烧饼用英语怎么说呢?
实际上, we would just say the pinyin (拼音), so it is called shaobing or huoshao。可以直接读它的拼音。
But also some people call it Chinese Sesame Flatbread(也有人说成“中国芝麻面包”)。
• flatbread扁面包,饼
• sesame芝麻
02.如何用英语介绍烧饼?
You could explain it as a type of baked (烤), unleavened(未发酵), layered flatbread(多层面饼) in northern Chinese cuisine 。
• unleavened未发酵的
• leaven v.发酵
主播梅莉和她周围外国朋友也都喜欢吃烧饼,especially the ones that have filling(有馅)!
Filling这个词非常好用。饺子,包子,火烧里面的馅儿都可以说是filling。
03.外媒是如何报道烧饼的?
They are saying that when you crack into the sesame-seed crust of a shaobing, it reveals tender layers that are rich with wheat flavor.
“掰开烧饼酥脆的芝麻酥皮,是柔软的多层结构,充满了浓郁的小麦风味。”
• crack into:掰开,把...分裂为
• crust:酥皮,面包皮
• tender:柔软的,嫩的
文中还提到了烧饼的制作工艺。 “Expert(专业的) shaobing bakers whirl(旋转) and slap the dough(拍打面团)so thin that the finished product has 18 or more layers(18层甚至更多)。”
“The north Chinese flatbread can then be spiked with sweet(甜的) or savory fillings(美味的馅), from black sesame(黑芝麻)paste to smoked meat(熏肉) or Sichuan pepper(四川花椒).” 中国不同地方的烧饼做法和口味都很不一样。
或许我们大部分人和主播Wendi的想法一样,“I never knew that shaobing can be considered a type of bread(从来没想过烧饼也能属于面包)!”但就像面包历史学家Rubel提出的“Bread is basically what your culture says it is.”(不同的文化对面包也可以有不同的定义)。每个国家都会有自己的面包。
04.还有哪些面包入选?
最好吃的50种面包里包括了来自世界各地的面包。从入围的名单中,我们能看到有来自Asia(亚洲), Middle East(中东),Europe(欧洲) 等地的面包。
除了刚刚说的法棍和烧饼外,我们再看一下3种不同类型的面包。
1. Malawach,Yemen也门的 Malawach
The article explains that to make malawach, bakers roll wheat dough(小麦面团) into a delicate sheet(薄片)and fold it over a slick of melted butter(上面抹上黄油)。
2.Montreal Bagels, Canada 加拿大的Montreal Bagels
These bagels(贝果)are made with dough mixed with egg and honey(面团里加入了鸡蛋和蜂蜜), and the hand-shaped rings are boiled in honey water before baking(烤之前会在蜂蜜水里煮一下).
3. Ciabatta, Italy 意大利的Ciabatta
The Ciabatta was only invented in 1980s.看起来很传统的一种面包,居然是30几年前才出现的!
50种世界上最美味的面包,种类太多实在是,咱们就不一一列举了。但主播梅莉看完名单后,为葱油饼没有入围而感动愤愤不平。哈哈,看来咱们的梅莉很喜欢吃葱油饼啊。
