中国菜主题的英语演讲稿范例Respected judges, honorable guests, and fellow delegates,I am honored to stand before you today to talk about one of the most popular and diverse cuisines in the world, the Chinese cuisine. Chinese food has been popular around the globe for hundreds of years, and there is no need for me to introduce it to you. It is a cuisine that is known for its diversity, taste, and nutritional value. This cuisine has a rich history and has developed into various styles, reflecting the local cultures and climates.One of the most striking features of Chinese cuisine is its diversity. It has eight regional cuisines, each with its unique style, flavor, and ingredients. These regions are Shandong, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hunan, Fujian, Anhui, and Zhejiang. Despite the differences, they all share some common features. For instance, a large number of dishes have a delicate balance of flavors, including sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.The second feature that makes Chinese food exceptional is its taste. The flavors of Chinese dishes are highly diversified, and the most common ones are spicy, sour, sweet, and salty. Chinese cuisine uses various seasonings ranging from ginger, Sichuan pepper, garlic, soy sauce, and fermented bean curd. The use of these seasonings in Chinese food is edited and unique, which makes it different from Western cuisine.The third characteristic that makes Chinese food remarkable is its nutritional value. Chinese cuisine is known to balance five colors and five flavors in every dish, making it one of the healthiestcuisines globally. The five colors are green, yellow, red, black, and white, and they represent the five vital organs in the body. As an example, green vegetables are known to be good for the liver, while white roots are responsible for strengthening the lungs.Moreover, Chinese cuisine has a long history and has evolved over the centuries. This cuisine has an enormous influence on cuisines across the world. For instance, dishes, such as kung pao chicken and sweet and sour pork, are some of the popular dishes enjoyed in various countries worldwide. This influence is due to Chinese migration and the expansion of the Chinese empire to different parts of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.In conclusion, Chinese cuisine is one of the most diverse and flavorful cuisines globally. It has eight distinct regional styles that reflect the local cultures, ingredients, and climate. It is characterized by a delicate balance of flavors, use of various seasonings, and nutritional value. Its history and evolution have resulted in its global influence, making it a favorite cuisine worldwide. So, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty and richness of Chinese cuisine and enjoy the delicious food. Thank you.。
英语演讲稿带翻译-中西饮食文化:你忽略掉的三个不同1. First of all, the making method of Chinese food is different from Western-style food.首先,中西餐的烹调方法不同。
In Western-style food cookbook, various ingredients suchas the flour, sugar, butter etc. have been indicated several grams, several spoons or several cups, even the size of the egg will all be explained. I think it is like a testing laboratory. So, Making Western-style food is easy, so long as you cook according to cookbook manual.西餐的烹调书中写明了面粉需要几克,糖需要几汤匙,黄油需要几杯等等,甚至连用到的鸡蛋的大小也有说明。
烹调西餐就像在实验室里做实验一样。
所以只要参考着烹调书,西餐是很好做的。
But it is not the easy thing that you want to make fine Chinese food. Even if you have bought the cookbook, it is not so easy. Because the Chinese cookbook will not tell youseveral grams of ingredient, for example salt, Chinese cookbook just tell you appropriate amount of salt, don’ttell you several gram, several spoon or several cup. Why? The taste of people who live in different places is different in China. There is a folk adage in China “south sweet, north salty, east hot and west sour”. So, a good cook relies on experience and skill when cooks in China.但是要做出美味的中餐,即使你有参考书也不是一件容易的事。

Enjoy the refreshing changeBy Aubrey Buckingham (shanghai daily)Updated: 2006-12-08 11:02For a little peace and tranquility in the financial zone that is Lujiazui, take some time off to smell the roses in an unlikely setting.Just by the looming Oriental Pearl TV Tower behemoth is a newly-installed park complete with artificial waterways and resident geese. If this sounds cheesy, rest assured, it's not.To complete the other-worldliness of this verdant garden, a few classical European-style villas are being built within the compound. One already-completed building houses the perfect representation of this safe haven within the business district. The Golden Atrium Garden Restaurant is quite unlike anything one has come to expect from the city's freshly-flush property developers. The villa is tasteful, inviting and homely - a far cry from some of the hideous monstrosities that have spawned from the ground below in recent times.In fact, the building looks like it belongs in a painting, a fact not lost on the establishment's proprietors. "We were looking to find a special peaceful place in Pudong," said Phylia Wang, co-founder of Golden Atrium. "This place, with the Pearl Tower in the background, is quite unique."The restaurant owners were interested in a few key factors. Firstly, the surroundings had to be pleasant. That they certainly are. Despite the premises being located deep within the park, prominent signs on the main road point diners in the right direction.Secondly, the interior had to be done to their satisfaction. "We didn't want it to look like it was donefor the nouveau riche," the Taiwan resident said. "That meant no gaudy ornaments or glaring chandeliers."The restaurant is wonderfully understated. The interior, which received the bulk of the US$1 million investment, would not disagree with minor European aristocracy. Simple, elegant furniture and quality finishing prove this to be money well spent, and not squandered on ostentatious ornamentation.The art theme, which is the third leg of the owners' strategy, is central to the overall strategy. Wang, who is in the IT business, is also a massive art buff. Her refined manner of dress reveals her gentile manner; she is clearly a lady of exquisite taste. As such, her selection of the art work that hangs in the 140-seater continues her theme of simplicity wonderfully.The top floor of the three-story building is a dedicated event space, with works on display by one-man-shows that rotate every few months. Until December 16, local artist Xu Wenhua's piece de resistance can be appreciated. The floor can hold about 90 people, and is perfect for basic events, business conferences or for wine tastings.All this is jolly and good, but the basis of any restaurant is its food. Here, the Taiwanese chef delivers fare that is as grand as the building itself.For 380 yuan (US$48) diners can tuck into a set menu offering braised shark's fin, deep-fried prawns with salt and pepper, and roasted pigeon. The bird is served slightly smoked, crisping the skin and impacting flavor without sacrificing juiciness and succulence. To finish the meal, vegetables and fried rice are served, followed by dessert.Golden Atrium also offers set lunch menus starting at 98 yuan. Diners can choose a dim sum set or a typical Cantonese lunch of sweet and sour pork, kung pow chicken or beef stew, with vegetables and fried rice.The restaurant takes itself seriously, but not too much so, which is a refreshing change. Almost as refreshing asthe park itself.Address: 36 Dongyuan Road。
TED英语演讲稿:四种影响我们的声音方式声音有愉悦的也有刺耳的,julian treasure给我们展示了声音4种影响着我们的方式。
仔细听,你将会发现有关我们开放式的、嘈杂办公室的一些令人惊讶的事实。
over the next five minutes, my intention is to transform your relationship with sound. let me start with the observation that most of the sound around us is accidental, and much of it is unpleasant. (traffic noise) we stand on street corners, shouting over noise like this, and pretending that it doesn't exist. well, this habit of suppressing sound has meant that our relationship with sound has become largely unconscious.there are four major ways sound is affecting you all the time, and i'd like to raise them in your consciousness today. first is physiological. (loud alarm clocks) sorry about that. i've just given you a shot of cortisol, your fight/flight hormone. sounds are affecting your hormone secretions all the time, but also your breathing, your heart rate -- which i just also did -- and your brainwaves.it's not just unpleasant sounds like that that doit. this is surf. (ocean waves) it has the frequency of roughly 12 cycles per minute. most people find that very soothing, and, interestingly, 12 cycles per minute is roughly the frequency of the breathing of a sleeping human. there is a deep resonance with being at rest. we also associate it with being stress-free and on holiday.the second way in which sound affects you is psychological. music is the most powerful form of sound that we know that affects our emotional state. (albinoni's adagio) this is guaranteed to make most of you feel pretty sad if i leave it on. music is not the only kind of sound, however, which affects your emotions.natural sound can do that too. birdsong, for example, is a sound which most people find reassuring. (birds chirping) there is a reason for that. over hundreds of thousands of years we've learned that when the birds are singing, things are safe. it's when they stop you need to be worried.the third way in which sound affects you is cognitively. you can't understand two people talkingat once ("if you're listening to this version of") ("me you're on the wrong track.") or in this case one person talking twice. try and listen to the other one. ("you have to choose which me you're going to listen to.") we have a very small amount of bandwidth for processing auditory input, which is why noise like this -- (office noise) -- is extremely damaging for productivity. if you have to work in an open-plan office like this, your productivity is greatly reduced. and whatever number you're thinking of, it probably isn't as bad as this. (ominous music) you are one third as productive in open-plan offices as in quiet rooms. and i have a tip for you. if you have to work in spaces like that, carry headphones with you, with a soothing sound like birdsong. put them on and your productivity goes back up to triple what it would be.the fourth way in which sound affects us is behaviorally. with all that other stuff going on, it would be amazing if our behavior didn't change. (techno music inside a car) so, ask yourself: is this person ever going to drive at a steady 28 miles per hour? i don't think so. at the simplest, you move away fromunpleasant sound and towards pleasant sounds. so if i were to play this -- (jackhammer) -- for more than a few seconds, you'd feel uncomfortable; for more than a few minutes, you'd be leaving the room in droves. for people who can't get away from noise like that, it's extremely damaging for their health.and that's not the only thing that bad sound damages. most retail sound is inappropriate and accidental, and even hostile, and it has a dramatic effect on sales. for those of you who are retailers, you may want to look away before i show this slide. they are losing up to 30 percent of their business with people leaving shops faster, or just turning around on the door. we all have done it, leaving the area because the sound in there is so dreadful.i want to spend just a moment talking about the model that we've developed, which allows us to start at the top and look at the drivers of sound, analyze the soundscape and then predict the four outcomes i've just talked about. or start at the bottom, and say what outcomes do we want, and then design a soundscape to have a desired effect. at last we've got some sciencewe can apply. and we're in the business of designing soundscapes.just a word on music. music is the most powerful sound there is, often inappropriately deployed. it's powerful for two reasons. you recognize it fast, and you associate it very powerfully. i'll give you two examples. (first chord of the beatles' "a hard day's night") most of you recognize that immediately. the younger, maybe not. (laughter) (first two notes of "jaws" theme) and most of you associate that with something! now, those are one-second samples of music. music is very powerful. and unfortunately it's veneering commercial spaces, often inappropriately. i hope that's going to change over the next few years.let me just talk about brands for a moment, because some of you run brands. every brand is out there making sound right now. there are eight expressions of a brand in sound. they are all important. and every brand needs to have guidelines at the center. i'm glad to say that is starting to happen now. (intel ad jingle) you all recognize that one. (nokia ringtone) this is the most-played tune in the world today. billion times aday, that tune is played. and it cost nokia absolutely nothing.just leave you with four golden rules, for those of you who run businesses, for commercial sound. first, make it congruent, pointing in the same direction as your visual communication. that increases impact by over 1,100 percent. if your sound is pointing the opposite direction, incongruent, you reduce impact by 86 percent. that's an order of magnitude, up or down. this is important. secondly, make it appropriate to the situation. thirdly, make it valuable. give people something with the sound. don't just bombard them with stuff. and, finally, test and test it again. sound is complex. there are many countervailing influences. it can be a bit like a bowl of spaghetti: sometimes you just have to eat it and see what happens.so i hope this talk has raised sound in your consciousness. if you're listening consciously, you can take control of the sound around you. it's good for your health. it's good for your productivity. if we all do that we move to a state that i like to think will be sound living in the world. i'm going to leave youwith a little bit more birdsong. (birds chirping) i recommend at least five minutes a day, but there is no maximum dose. thank you for lending me your ears today.

TED英语演讲稿:探寻美式中餐的由来Ladies and gentlemen,Today, I want to take you on a journey to explore the origins of American Chinese cuisine. American Chinese food has become an integral part of the American culinary landscape, with countless Chinese restaurants scattered throughout the country. But have you ever wondered where this unique fusion of flavors originated?The roots of American Chinese cuisine can be traced back to the mid-19th century when Chinese immigrants first arrived in the United States. These immigrants came in search of opportunities during the California Gold Rush and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. As they settled in America, they brought with them their culinary traditions, adapting them to suit the ingredients available in their new homeland.Initially, Chinese immigrants faced challenges in sourcing authentic ingredients for their traditional Chinese dishes. They had to make do with what was locally available, leading to the birth of a new style of Chinese cuisine that blended Chinese cooking techniques with American ingredients. This fusion cuisine gave birth to popular dishes like chop suey and egg foo young.The popularity of American Chinese cuisine soared in the early 20th century when Chinese restaurants started catering to American tastes. These restaurants began serving dishes that were specifically tailored to the American palate, incorporating flavors that were familiar and comforting. Dishes like General Tso's chicken and sweet and sour pork emerged during this period.One key factor that contributed to the spread of American Chinese cuisine was the boom in Chinese takeout. As more Americans began working longer hours, the convenience and affordability of Chinese takeout made it a popular choice for quick and delicious meals. This led to the creation of dishes like Mongolian beef and sesame chicken, which became staples of Chinese takeout menus across the country.Over the years, American Chinese cuisine has continued to evolve. Today, you can find a wide range of regional Chinese dishes adapted to American tastes, such as lo mein, orange chicken, and Kung Pao shrimp. These dishes have become beloved classics, cherished by both Chinese Americans and non-Chinese alike.In conclusion, American Chinese cuisine is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Chinese immigrant community. It represents the blending of two cultures and the creativity that arises from the need to make the best of available resources. Next time you enjoy a plate of General Tso's chicken or a serving of fried rice, take a moment to appreciate the rich history and cultural significance behind these delicious dishes.Thank you.。
介绍美式中餐英语简单作文American-style Chinese food has become a staple in the culinary landscape of the United States. It is a unique fusion of traditional Chinese cuisine and American culinary preferences. This essay will explore the history, characteristics, and impact of American-style Chinese food on the American dining experience.The origins of American-style Chinese food can be traced back to the late 19th century when Chinese immigrants began arriving in the United States. These early Chinese immigrants brought with them their native culinary traditions, which they adapted to suit the tastes and ingredients available in their new homeland. As Chinese restaurants began to spread across the country, they catered to the preferences of their American customers, modifying traditional dishes and creating new ones that appealed to the American palate.One of the key characteristics of American-style Chinese food is its emphasis on bold, intense flavors. While traditional Chinese cuisine often relies on a delicate balance of flavors, American-style Chinese food tends to be more heavily seasoned and feature a greater use ofsauces and condiments. This reflects the American preference for bolder, more assertive flavors. Dishes like General Tso's Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, and Beef and Broccoli have become staples of the American-style Chinese food menu, showcasing the blend of Chinese cooking techniques and American taste preferences.Another defining feature of American-style Chinese food is the use of ingredients and cooking methods that are more familiar to American diners. For example, the widespread use of chicken, beef, and pork in American-style Chinese dishes caters to the meat-centric preferences of many American consumers. Additionally, the incorporation of vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers, which are more commonly found in American cuisine, helps to bridge the gap between traditional Chinese flavors and American tastes.The impact of American-style Chinese food on the American dining experience cannot be overstated. It has become a ubiquitous part of the American culinary landscape, with Chinese restaurants and takeout establishments found in virtually every city and town across the country. American-style Chinese food has also played a significant role in introducing Chinese cuisine to a wider American audience, serving as a gateway for many people to explore the rich and diverse flavors of traditional Chinese cooking.Moreover, American-style Chinese food has evolved and adapted over time, reflecting the changing preferences and dietary needs of American consumers. For instance, the growing demand for healthier and more sustainable food options has led to the development of lighter, more vegetable-centric dishes within the American-style Chinese food repertoire. Dishes like steamed dumplings, stir-fried vegetables, and brown rice-based entrees have become increasingly popular, catering to the health-conscious consumer.The influence of American-style Chinese food extends beyond the culinary realm, as it has also played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape of the United States. Chinese restaurants have become gathering places for communities, fostering social interactions and cultural exchange. The ubiquity of Chinese takeout and delivery services has also made American-style Chinese food a convenient and accessible option for busy American families, contributing to its widespread popularity.In conclusion, American-style Chinese food is a unique and dynamic culinary phenomenon that has become an integral part of the American dining experience. Its history, characteristics, and impact on American culture and cuisine are a testament to the adaptability and versatility of Chinese culinary traditions. As American tastes and dietary preferences continue to evolve, it is likely that American-styleChinese food will continue to transform and adapt, ensuring its enduring presence in the American culinary landscape.。

关于中国菜的英语演讲稿Enjoy the refreshing changeBy Aubrey Buckingham (shanghai daily)Updated: 2006-12-08 11:02For a little peace and tranquility in the financial zone that is Lujiazui, take some time off to smell the roses in an unlikely setting.Just by the looming Oriental Pearl TV Tower behemoth is a newly-installed park complete with artificial waterways and resident geese. If this sounds cheesy, rest assured, it's not.To complete the other-worldliness of this verdant garden, a few classical European-style villas are being built within the compound. One already-completed building houses the perfect representation of this safe haven within the business district. The Golden Atrium Garden Restaurant is quite unlike anything one has come to expect from the city's freshly-flush property developers. The villa is tasteful, inviting and homely - a far cry from some of the hideous monstrosities that have spawned from the ground below in recent times.In fact, the building looks like it belongs in a painting, a fact not lost on the establishment's proprietors. "We were looking to find a special peaceful place in Pudong," said Phylia Wang, co-founder of Golden Atrium. "This place, with the Pearl Tower in the background, is quite unique."The restaurant owners were interested in a few key factors. Firstly, the surroundings had to be pleasant. That they certainly are. Despite the premises being located deep within the park, prominent signs on the main road point diners in the right direction.Secondly, the interior had to be done to their satisfaction. "We didn't want it to look like it was done for the nouveau riche," the Taiwan resident said. "That meant no gaudy ornaments or glaring chandeliers." The restaurant is wonderfully understated. The interior, which received the bulk of the US$1 million investment, would not disagree with minor European aristocracy. Simple, elegant furniture and quality finishing prove this to be money well spent, and not squandered on ostentatious ornamentation.The art theme, which is the third leg of the owners'strategy, is central to the overall strategy. Wang, who is in the IT business, is also a massive art buff. Her refined manner of dress reveals her gentile manner; she is clearly a lady of exquisite taste. As such, her selection of the art work that hangs in the 140-seater continues her theme of simplicity wonderfully.The top floor of the three-story building is a dedicated event space, with works on display by one-man-shows that rotate every few months. Until December 16, local artist Xu Wenhua's piece de resistance can be appreciated. The floor can hold about 90 people, and is perfect for basic events, business conferences or for wine tastings.All this is jolly and good, but the basis of any restaurant is its food. Here, the Taiwanese chef delivers fare that is as grand as the building itself. For 380 yuan (US$48) diners can tuck into a set menu offering braised shark's fin, deep-fried prawns with salt and pepper, and roasted pigeon. The bird is served slightly smoked, crisping the skin and impacting flavor without sacrificing juiciness and succulence. To finish the meal, vegetables and fried rice are served,followed by dessert.Golden Atrium also offers set lunch menus starting at 98 yuan. Diners can choose a dim sum set or a typical Cantonese lunch of sweet and sour pork, kung pow chicken or beef stew, with vegetables and fried rice.The restaurant takes itself seriously, but not too much so, which is a refreshing change. Almost as refreshing as the park itself.Address: 36 Dongyuan RoadTel: 021-5888-9525。

2月24日美式中餐的演变| 经济学人泛读The development of Chinese-American cuisine reflects the community’s own upward trajectory美式中餐的演变反应了美籍华人自身的上升轨迹FOR SEVERAL years, beginning in the mid-2000s, devotees of Chinese food on America’s east coast obsessed over a mystery: Where was Peter Chang? A prodigiously talented—and peripatetic—chef, Mr Chang bounced around eateries in the south-east. One day diners at astrip-mall restaurant in suburban Richmond or Atlanta might be eating standard egg rolls and orange chicken; the next, their table would be graced by exquisite pieces of aubergine the size of an index finger, greaselessly fried and dusted with cumin, dried chillies and Sichuan peppercorns. Or by a soup made of pickled mustard greens and fresh sea bass, in its way as hauntingly perfect and austere as a Bach cello suite. A few months later, Mr Chang would move on.从2005年前后开始,有那么几年美国东海岸的中餐迷对一个神秘事件津津乐道:张鹏亮(Peter Chang)在哪儿?他是一名才华横溢却行踪不定的厨师,游走于美国东南部的众多餐馆之间。

美食的英语演讲稿关于美食的英语演讲稿关于美食的英语演讲稿1Food between China and Western countries are totally different styles.China has 5000 years history. We probably spend half of time on food. Chinesepeople choice food very carefully. They only use fresh material to make food.For example they only eat fresh fish. Chinese have a lot of ideas and techniquesfor cooking. We can cook a chicken in over ten ways. That’s why Chinese food isso popular in the world. Western country like English or American, they don’thave fresh food because they buy their food from supermarket which only sellsstored materials. Western people would also prefer fast food like burgers andchips. They are unhealthy to human body. Western people do not have many skillsfor cooking, mostly they only boil, steam and bake the food. By the way, westernpeople are very good at making desert and chocolate. They can make very goodcake and chocolate. They are very sweet but it’s sort of food which make youbecome fat quickly.In china if you invite people for meal, the person who invited other peoplewould pay for the meal but it’s not the way in Western country. In westerncountry people will think you only invited me but it’s not your responsibilityto pa y for me. I can afford it. They won’t be happy if you pay for them. Peoplein China would always put dishes into customer’s plate to show theirhospitality, but they will think it’s not healthy because your chopsticks havebeen used by you. In western country like America not England, people willalways give tips to waiter after they finished meal in a restaurant. If youdon’t they will not behappy because tips are one of their major income. Inchina this only happen in some top restaurants and hotels in large internationalcities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Western people will also think youare rude if you make sound during the meal. Western people do not hold theirbowl up even when they have a bowl of soup.There is also a huge difference between Chinese and Western people. Chinesepeople use chopsticks and western people use fork and knife. Usually people whouse fork and knife will use fork to hold the meat and cut it by knife and usefork to help to get that piece of meat into mouse. Chinese just use chopstick topick things and pass it into your mouse.Chinese people only have three meals during a day. But western people willhave more, they have afternoon tea. Usually they would have fruits, homemadecake, tea (black tea) or biscuit with cheese. If you are a housewife and have alot of time, you may have morning tea as well.关于美食的英语演讲稿2Jiaozi(chinese Dumpling) is a traditional chinese food ,which is essentionduring holidays in nor thern china.Chinese dumpling becomes one of the mostwidely love food in china.Chinese dumpling is one of the most important foods in chinese newyear.Since the shape of chinese dumpling is similar to ancient chinese gold orsilier ingots ,they symbolize wealth .Traditional,th e members of a family gettogeter to make dumplings during the New Year's Eve.They may hide a coin in oneof the dumplings.

TED英语演讲稿:探寻美式中餐的由来
【演讲内容节选】
Chinese restaurants have played an important role in American history, as a matter of fact. The Cuban missile crisis was resolved in a Chinese restaurant called Yenching Palace
in Washington, D.C., which unfortunately is closed now, and about to be turned into Walgreen's. And the house that John Wilkes Booth planned the assassination of Abraham Lincoln is actually also now a Chinese restaurant called Wok 'n Roll, on H Street in Washington.
事实上,中国餐馆在美国历史上发挥了很重要的作用。
古巴导弹危机是在华盛顿一家名叫“燕京馆”的中餐馆里解决的。
很不幸,这家餐馆现在关门了,即将被改建成沃尔格林
连锁药店。
而约翰·威尔克斯·布斯刺杀林肯总统的那所房子现在也成了一家中餐馆,就是
位于华盛顿的“锅和卷”。
And if you think about it, a lot of the foods that you think of or we think of or Americans think of as Chinese food are barely recognizable to Chinese, for example: beef with broccoli, egg rolls, General Tso's Chicken, fortune cookies, chop suey, the take-out boxes.
如果你仔细想想,就会发现很多你们所认为或我们所认为,或是美国人所认为的中国食物,中国人并不认识。
比如西兰花牛肉、蛋卷、左宗棠鸡、幸运饼干、杂碎、外卖盒子。
So, the interesting question is, how do you go from fortune cookies being something that is Japanese to being something that is Chinese? Well, the short answer is, we locked up all the Japanese during World War II, including those that made fortune cookies, so that's the time when the Chinese moved in, kind of saw a market opportunity and took over.
所以有趣的是,幸运饼干是怎么从日本的东西变成中国的东西的呢?简单地说,我们
在二战时扣押了所以的日本人,包括那些做幸运饼干的。
这时候,中国人来了,看到了商机,自然就据为己有了。
General Tso's Chicken -- which, by the way, in the US Naval Academy is called Admiral Tso's Chicken. I love this dish. The original name in my book was actually called The Long March of General Tso, and he has marched very far indeed, because he is sweet, he is fried, and he is chicken -- all things that Americans love.
左宗棠鸡,在美国海军军校被称为左司令鸡。
我很喜欢这道菜。
在我的书里,这道菜实际上叫左将军的长征,它确实在美国很受欢迎,因为它是甜的,油炸的,是鸡肉做的——全部都是美国人的最爱。
So, you know, I realized when I was there, General Tso is kind of a lot like Colonel Sanders in America, in that he's known for chicken and not war. But in China, this guy's actually known for war and not chicken.
我意识到左宗棠将军有点像美国的桑德斯上校(肯德基创始人),因为他是因鸡肉而出名的而不是战争。
而在中国,左宗棠确实是因为战争而不是鸡肉闻名的。
So it's kind of part of the phenomenon I called spontaneous self-organization, right, where, like in ant colonies, where little decisions made by -- on the micro-level actually have a big impact on the macro-level.
这就有点像我所说的自发组织现象。
就像在蚂蚁群中,在微观层面上做的小小决定会在宏观层面上产生巨大的影响。
And the great innovation of Chicken McNuggets was not nuggetfying them, because that's kind of an easy concept, but the trick behind Chicken McNuggets was, they were able to remove the chicken from the bone in a cost-effective manner, which is why it took so long for other people to copy them.
麦乐鸡块的发明并没有给他们带来切实收益,因为这个想法很简单,但麦乐鸡背后的技巧是如何用一种划算的方式来把鸡肉从骨头上剔出来。
这就是为什么过了这么久才有人模仿他们。
We can think of Chinese restaurants perhaps as Linux: sort of an open source thing, right, where ideas from one person can be copied and propagated across the entire system, that there can be specialized versions of Chinese food, you know, depending on the region.
我们可以把中餐馆比作Linux:一种开源系统。
一个人的想法可以在整个系统中被复制,被普及。
在不同的地区,就有特别版本的中国菜。
