《舌尖上的中国2》:戳中泪点的饕餮盛宴 17-YEAR—OLD Tibetan boy climbs 40 meters up a tall tree only to get some raw honey as an ingredient for a traditional local drink.The money he makes from selling the honey will be used to pay for his younger brother's tuition fee(学费). A group of traveling reapers(麦客)work 10 hours a day to help Shaanxi farmers harvest their wheat.The old landowner makes traditional noodles out of the newly—produced flour (面粉)to feed the reaping men, whose job has gradually been replaced by machines elsewhere. These are only a few scenes from the first episode(集)of CCTV's new documentary, A Bite of China 2, which aired on April 18.But they are enough reasons for food enthusiasts(吃货)to spend an hour every Friday until June 6 drooling(流口水)in front of their television sets.Viewers have had to wait a long time since A Bite of China first came out in 2012. Back then,the seven-episode documentary was an instant(瞬间的)hit.With its beautiful visual effects and rich food culture.many considered it the best documentary ever produced by CCTV. Oliver Thring of The Guardian praised it, saying“[It's] the best TV show I've ever seen about food.I'd hazard(胆猜测)it's the best one ever made.” The new season includes eight episodes, covering 300 types of food.According to CCTV, every minute of the show was edited out of l50 minutes of footage(影像镜头).Finding their subjects was often the hardest part of the film crew's(团队的)job.It took them six months to film a beekeeping couple,which involved a journey of more than 2,000 kilometers. Flood is a personal thing, in that no dish suits all tastes.However, the program has still managed to strike a chord with all sorts of viewers. “Compared with A Bite of China, the new season has a more human touch,which makes viewers shed some tears while their mouths are watering,” commented Sina Entertainment. As always,the people are the most interesting part.A Bite of China 2 shows a greater “ambition”-through homemade food.it tells the joys and sorrows(悲伤)of ordinary Chinese in changing times,according to director Chen Xiaoqing of the documentary series. “I was moved by the people in each simple story,”said Li Weifang,17.of Beijing No 3 High School.“Their hardships(辛劳)on the road and their commitment(付出)help enrich China's food culture.” In fact,that is exactly what the new season hopes to deliver.Through the program,“the audience will see the traits(特征)of the Chinese people: frugality(节俭)and tenacity(坚韧),”Chen told Xinhua.

We were so tired when we arrived home,we left the car in the driveway and decided to unpack it in the morning. At seven o'clock in the morning,we woke up refreshed.But when we opened the front door, there was no car in the driveway! Tere and I looked at each other, looked back at the driveway, and looked at each other again.Then she asked this wonderful question:“Well, where did you park the car?” Laughing.I answered:“Right in the driveway.” We walked around the block and couldn't find the car.It had been stolen. We called the police and filed a report that activated(激活) our high-tech tracking(追踪的)system. AS time went by, Tere became increasingly upset as she remembered more and more of what had been in the car—our wedding album,family photos from past generations and my wallet,just to name a few things.These were items of little importance to our survival,yet they seemed of major importance at that moment. Frustrated,Tere asked me:“How can you remain cool when all of these things and our brand new car are missing?’’ I said:“Honey, we can have a stolen car and be upset,or we can have a stolen car and be happy.Either way, we have a stolen car.I truly believe our attitudes and moods are choices,and right now I choose to be happy.” Five days later our car was returned without any of our belongings,and with over $3,000 worth of damage to the car. After I picked up the car from the dealer, I ran into another car, which cost another $3,000 worth of damage. As I was standing in the driveway looking at the car, kicking myself for hitting the other car, Tere arrived home.She put her arm around me and said:“Honey, we can have a wrecked(坏了的)car and be upset,or we can have a wrecked car and be happy. Either way, we have a wrecked car, so let's choose to be happy.” I surrendered(放弃)with a hearty laugh and we went on to have a wonderful evening together.
