1、新視界大學英語第一冊第二單元課文翻譯及練習答案(william新視界大學英語綜合教程第二單元課文翻譯及練習答案Active Reading吃火鍋這是一個寒冷的冬夜,我們剛從紐約來,到了這里不過兩個小時。我們和朋友一起,在北京一家四川火鍋店吃飯。這是個典型的溫暖、熱鬧、充滿活力的地方。我回到了中國,感覺非常愜意。一個服務員把火鍋放在我們面前,點著了火。我們正研究著里面都放了些什么,那沸騰的蒸汽和調料的味道就沖了上來。迎著火鍋的熱氣,我們興奮地滿臉通紅,期待著我們最愛的食物。其實,并不是每個人都如此。我的男朋友和我一起來的中國,他只會停留很短的一段時間,這是他第一次來中國,我早就承諾帶他吃經(jīng)典的四

2、川菜。他看上去有點迷惑,也許是因為坐飛機累了的緣故吧。我的一個中國朋友把菜單遞給我,讓我點菜。服務員端來了幾盤生食:有牛肉片、羊肉片、堆得很高的蘑菇,有很多西方人會覺得少見的蔬菜,以及一些很難辨認的小塊滑溜的肉。在美國吃這種肉?我們想都不會想。我給我男朋友解釋說,火鍋一邊的鍋底比較清淡,另一邊的是辣椒油,里面全是辣椒,必須小心對待。然后我解釋如何將各種配菜放到煮沸的鍋里,燙熟,在各種調味醬中蘸一下,然后吃掉。很快,我們都自己動手開始吃了,相互分享最好吃的,同時閑聊我們假期都干了什么。但是,我男朋友的盤子是空的。我看到他夾起一片又一片,每一片都看一看,然后又放回鍋里。我問他:“你找什么呢?”他看

3、上去很迷茫:“他們是怎么知道哪片是自己放進去的?我怎么才能找到自己放進去的那些呢?”我們大笑,然后我才意識到他是認真的。后來,我又看了一眼我男朋友。他非常慢地咀嚼著,筷子停在半空中。他看上去滿腹狐疑但臉上又掛著禮貌的微笑。我問他:“又怎么了?你以前又不是沒用過筷子!”“不是,不是因為這個。我吃到的和我想象的不一樣。”雖然他面帶微笑,但我還是能看出來他在想什么。我甚至可以聽出來他吃的是什么東西,盡管周圍很嘈雜。忽然,我想起了自己第一次在中國吃中餐的感覺。我跟他解釋說:“這不是曼哈頓唐人街的外賣中餐,那種中餐是根據(jù)西方人口味作了專門調整的,現(xiàn)在吃的才是真正的中國人吃的真正的中餐!”我怎么會把他帶到

4、這兒來呢?這可是他在中國吃的第一頓飯!我真應該帶他去上中餐初級班,就像他以前上中文初級班一樣?，F(xiàn)在我在中國,吃真正的中餐已經(jīng)成為一種習慣?？晌业谝淮蝸淼臅r候,不管上什么菜,我都硬吞下去,盡管我根本不喜歡吃,為的只是讓主人開心而已。對于西方人來說,味道并不是主要的問題。這里大部分菜的味道要么很熟悉,即使不熟悉也不至于難以下咽。問題出在食物給人的感覺。除了豬排和雞翅之外,大多數(shù)西方人只想吃那些能用刀叉分解的食物。他們不想吮食出聲,也不想沒完沒了地咀嚼。但是,漸漸地,在中國住了幾個月后,我意識到我喜歡的是中餐的這種感覺,這也是我在離開中國時所懷念的。現(xiàn)在,中餐已經(jīng)使我感到貪饞了。我現(xiàn)在到了中國就像到

5、了自己家一樣,但我男朋友第一次吃真正中餐的經(jīng)歷還是嚇了我一跳,也讓他開始想家了。Dealing with Unfamiliar WordsReplace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box.1. the norm2. despite3. plentiful4. investigated5. adapted6.

19、濃烈、刺激,然后做成既提神又營養(yǎng)的飲料。以前,宗教儀式上會用到它。它極其珍貴,人們甚至用可可豆來納稅。在其歷史上的不同時期,巧克力曾經(jīng)是社會地位或個人財富的象征。在法國,只有國王和王后身邊的人才能喝得上;在英國,只有富人才喝得上。漸漸地,巧克力的味道變了。16世紀早期,西班牙人從殖民地帶回了巧克力,當時巧克力還是咸的。直到今天,墨西哥人仍然把巧克力和肉、蔬菜放在一起,做成巧克力辣沙司,這是一種混合了雞肉的巧克力醬。但是,到了17世紀,巧克力在歐洲越來越流行,人們在巧克力中加入了糖,趁熱飲用。很快,這種飲料就作為昂貴的奢侈品流行起來,人們可以在專門的巧克力屋里享用。在巧克力屋,人們可以交朋友、喝

20、巧克力、談政治、玩紙牌。我們如今所熟悉的固體巧克力是在19世紀首次出現(xiàn)的?？煽啥贡荒コ煞勰?與液體混合在一起,然后加熱,倒入模子,冷卻后成形。下一步就是學會如何從可可豆中提取可可油,第一次嘗試加工是在1825年。可可豆被碾壓成醬,經(jīng)高壓處理,分離成液態(tài)巧克力和可可油。1882年,瑞士人魯?shù)婪?蓮德首先在巧克力中添加了可可油,使之更加柔滑。巧克力被制成條形,可以很容易地掰成塊,溶于口中。可可油融化的溫度與人體溫度是相同的,都是37攝氏度。世界上最暢銷的巧克力是牛奶巧克力,它比黑巧克力更甜、更柔滑,它于19世紀末才出現(xiàn)。1875年,另一位瑞士制造商丹尼爾?彼得完善了巧克力的制作工藝。當時一種濃縮型

21、牛奶煉乳剛剛問世,它易與可可醬溶合。1956年由美國瑪氏公司首次研制生產(chǎn)的德芙巧克力,是目前中國市場上最受歡迎的巧克力。我們知道,大多數(shù)人都喜歡吃巧克力。但是為什么巧克力出奇地暢銷呢?又是什么原因使得巧克力令人上癮,讓許多人承認自己是巧克力迷呢?大概有40%的女性和15%的男性承認,他們非常想吃巧克力,尤其是在傍晚和晚上。他們之中的大部分人承認自己愛吃甜食?，F(xiàn)在,科學家認為這種偏好可能是從父母那里遺傳而來,而且用小老鼠做的實驗也證明了這一點。如果父母愛吃巧克力,那么小孩就會愛吃巧克力。這種基因特性使我們偏愛帶甜味的食品。但是,巧克力之所以暢銷,并不只是因為現(xiàn)代巧克力產(chǎn)品中含有大量糖分。如果是糖

22、分的緣故,那么其他含糖的產(chǎn)品也會在我們身上產(chǎn)生相同的效果。我們對其他甜食的渴求與對巧克力的渴求不能同日而語,因為其他甜食無法給予我們同樣美好的感覺。大家也知道,巧克力能夠幫助大腦釋放某些化學物質,這些物質能夠使我們感到愉悅,給我們一種幸福感,類似于我們熱戀時的感覺!盡管巧克力中含有大概300種不同的物質,包括礦物質和維生素,但它們如何影響我們的身體,我們并不是很清楚。Reading and Understanding.Check ( the true statements.True statements: 2, 4, 6, 8.Number the historical facts in or
