1、新视界大学英语综合教程第二单元课文翻译及练习答案Active Reading吃火锅 这是一个寒冷的冬夜，我们刚从纽约来，到了这里不过两个小时。我们和朋友一起，在北京一家四川火锅店吃饭。这是个典型的温暖、热闹、充满活力的地方。我回到了中国，感觉非常惬意。一个服务员把火锅放在我们面前，点着了火。我们正研究着里面都放了些什么，那沸腾的蒸汽和调料的味道就冲了上来。迎着火锅的热气，我们兴奋地满脸通红，期待着我们最爱的食物。其实，并不是每个人都如此。我的男朋友和我一起来的中国，他只会停留很短的一段时间，这是他第一次来中国，我早就承诺带他吃经典的四川菜。他看上去有点迷惑，也许是因为坐飞机累了的缘故吧。我的一

2、个中国朋友把菜单递给我，让我点菜。服务员端来了几盘生食：有牛肉片、羊肉片、堆得很高的蘑菇，有很多西方人会觉得少见的蔬菜，以及一些很难辨认的小块滑溜的肉。在美国吃这种肉？我们想都不会想。我给我男朋友解释说，火锅一边的锅底比较清淡，另一边的是辣椒油，里面全是辣椒，必须小心对待。然后我解释如何将各种配菜放到煮沸的锅里，烫熟，在各种调味酱中蘸一下，然后吃掉。 很快，我们都自己动手开始吃了，相互分享最好吃的，同时闲聊我们假期都干了什么。但是，我男朋友的盘子是空的。我看到他夹起一片又一片，每一片都看一看，然后又放回锅里。我问他：“你找什么呢？”他看上去很迷茫：“他们是怎么知道哪片是自己放进去的？我怎么才能

3、找到自己放进去的那些呢？”我们大笑，然后我才意识到他是认真的。后来，我又看了一眼我男朋友。他非常慢地咀嚼着，筷子停在半空中。他看上去满腹狐疑但脸上又挂着礼貌的微笑。我问他：“又怎么了？你以前又不是没用过筷子！”“不是，不是因为这个。我吃到的和我想象的不一样。”虽然他面带微笑，但我还是能看出来他在想什么。我甚至可以听出来他吃的是什么东西，尽管周围很嘈杂。忽然，我想起了自己第一次在中国吃中餐的感觉。我跟他解释说：“这不是曼哈顿唐人街的外卖中餐，那种中餐是根据西方人口味作了专门调整的，现在吃的才是真正的中国人吃的真正的中餐！”我怎么会把他带到这儿来呢？这可是他在中国吃的第一顿饭！我真应该带他去上中餐

4、初级班，就像他以前上中文初级班一样。现在我在中国，吃真正的中餐已经成为一种习惯。可我第一次来的时候，不管上什么菜，我都硬吞下去，尽管我根本不喜欢吃，为的只是让主人开心而已。对于西方人来说，味道并不是主要的问题。这里大部分菜的味道要么很熟悉，即使不熟悉也不至于难以下咽。问题出在食物给人的感觉。除了猪排和鸡翅之外，大多数西方人只想吃那些能用刀叉分解的食物。他们不想吮食出声，也不想没完没了地咀嚼。但是，渐渐地，在中国住了几个月后，我意识到我喜欢的是中餐的这种感觉，这也是我在离开中国时所怀念的。现在，中餐已经使我感到贪馋了。 我现在到了中国就像到了自己家一样，但我男朋友第一次吃真正中餐的经历还是吓了我

19、糊状，再加入天然调味品，让它的味道变得浓烈、刺激，然后做成既提神又营养的饮料。以前，宗教仪式上会用到它。它极其珍贵，人们甚至用可可豆来纳税。在其历史上的不同时期，巧克力曾经是社会地位或个人财富的象征。在法国，只有国王和王后身边的人才能喝得上；在英国，只有富人才喝得上。渐渐地，巧克力的味道变了。16世纪早期，西班牙人从殖民地带回了巧克力，当时巧克力还是咸的。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，这是一种混合了鸡肉的巧克力酱。但是，到了17世纪，巧克力在欧洲越来越流行，人们在巧克力中加入了糖，趁热饮用。很快，这种饮料就作为昂贵的奢侈品流行起来，人们可以在专门的巧克力屋

20、里享用。在巧克力屋，人们可以交朋友、喝巧克力、谈政治、玩纸牌。 我们如今所熟悉的固体巧克力是在19世纪首次出现的。可可豆被磨成粉末，与液体混合在一起，然后加热，倒入模子，冷却后成形。下一步就是学会如何从可可豆中提取可可油，第一次尝试加工是在1825年。可可豆被碾压成酱，经高压处理，分离成液态巧克力和可可油。1882年，瑞士人鲁道夫莲德首先在巧克力中添加了可可油，使之更加柔滑。巧克力被制成条形，可以很容易地掰成块，溶于口中。可可油融化的温度与人体温度是相同的，都是37摄氏度。世界上最畅销的巧克力是牛奶巧克力，它比黑巧克力更甜、更柔滑，它于19世纪末才出现。1875年，另一位瑞士制造商丹尼尔彼得完

21、善了巧克力的制作工艺。当时一种浓缩型牛奶炼乳刚刚问世，它易与可可酱溶合。1956年由美国玛氏公司首次研制生产的德芙巧克力，是目前中国市场上最受欢迎的巧克力。我们知道，大多数人都喜欢吃巧克力。但是为什么巧克力出奇地畅销呢？又是什么原因使得巧克力令人上瘾，让许多人承认自己是巧克力迷呢？大概有40%的女性和15%的男性承认，他们非常想吃巧克力，尤其是在傍晚和晚上。他们之中的大部分人承认自己爱吃甜食。现在，科学家认为这种偏好可能是从父母那里遗传而来，而且用小老鼠做的实验也证明了这一点。如果父母爱吃巧克力，那么小孩就会爱吃巧克力。这种基因特性使我们偏爱带甜味的食品。但是，巧克力之所以畅销，并不只是因为现

22、代巧克力产品中含有大量糖分。如果是糖分的缘故，那么其他含糖的产品也会在我们身上产生相同的效果。我们对其他甜食的渴求与对巧克力的渴求不能同日而语，因为其他甜食无法给予我们同样美好的感觉。大家也知道，巧克力能够帮助大脑释放某些化学物质，这些物质能够使我们感到愉悦，给我们一种幸福感，类似于我们热恋时的感觉！尽管巧克力中含有大概300种不同的物质，包括矿物质和维生素，但它们如何影响我们的身体，我们并不是很清楚。Reading and Understanding.
