旁白：    来顺德的时间不久，

       Soon after we got to Shunde,

       我已经切实的体会到

       we truly realized that

       这里真是个好地方。

       it’s really a very nice place.

       我们已经领略过了

       we already got some idea

       广东四大名园之一的清晖园的魅力。

       of the charms of Qinghui Garden, one

       of Guangdong’s four famous gardens.

       那今天的安排呢

       And today’s itinerary

       对于我来说就更有吸引力了，

       is more appealing to me

       因为啊全都和吃有关。

       because it is all related to food.

韩佳：    快乐学汉语，

       Learning Chinese the fun way …

王渊源：万里海疆行！

       on this Happy Journey along

       the Coastline!

韩佳：    大家好，我是快乐的韩佳。

       Hello there! I’m Merry Han Jia.

王渊源：我是快乐的渊源。

       And I’m Happy Yuanyuan.

       很高兴我们今天将和您一起，

       I’m pleased that together

       we’ll learn about

       了解一下顺德的美食文化。

       Shunde’s gourmet food

       culture today.

韩佳：    呵，一提到美食啊，

       Oh, whenever gourmet food

       is mentioned,

       他就高兴得不得了。

       you can’t be happier.

王渊源：提起吃，谁不高兴啊？

       When food is mentioned,

       who isn’t happy?

韩佳：    那倒也是，

       That’s true,

       正所谓“民以食为天”嘛。

       as the saying goes: “Food is the first

       necessity of the people.”

王渊源：什么？“民以食为天”？

       What? “Min yi shi wei tian”?

韩佳：    “民以食为天”呢是一句俗语，

       “Min yi shi wei tian” is a saying,

       意思是人们生活以吃饭为头等大事，

       meaning food is the first necessity

       以吃饭为生存的主要条件。

       of the people.

王渊源：“民以食为天”的字面意思是

       So “min yi shi wei tian”

       literally means

       人们把食物看作他们的天。

       that people regard food as

       their heaven.

       常用来表示人们生活以吃饭为头等大事。

       It’s used to express that food is the first

       necessity of the people.

韩佳：    那我们再来复习一下这句俗语。

       Now let’s review this saying.

 

   Mín  yǐ  shí  wéi  tiān

       民   以   食   为  天

       Food is the first necessity

       of the people.

 

旁白：    其实，说起顺德的美食，

       Actually, speaking of Shunde’s

       gourmet food,

       其历史啊可以称得上是源远流长了。

       I must say its history goes

       back to ancient times.

这里是岭南著名的鱼米之乡。

       It is a land flowing with milk and

       honey in the Lingnan region.

       物产非常丰富。

       It has abundant natural resources.

       再加上，顺德人自古就喜欢调味烹饪，

       Besides, Shunde residents’ culinary

       tradition goes back to ancient times,

       所以美食之风一直都很盛行。

       thus gourmet food has been

       in vogue all the time.

韩佳：    那现在呢，

       Currently,

       顺德的城区中心大良啊，

       Daliang in central Shunde

       还被评为了中国第一个

       has been elected China’s first

       “中华餐饮名镇”呢。

       Gourmet Town.

王渊源：而这里呢，

       And here it is

       就是大良一条非常繁华的商业街。

       a very bustling commercial

       street in Daliang.

       我们今天的美食之旅就从这里开始吧。

       Our gourmet food journey starts

       right here.

韩佳：    听起来你好像早有目标喽。

       It sounds like you came here

       with a clear goal.

王渊源：那是。我可打听过了，

       Sure. I heard that

       在这条街上，

       on this street

       能吃到好几样著名的小吃呢。

       you can eat several well-

       known snacks.

       比如说…

       For example …

韩佳：    比如说，双皮奶！

       For example, the stewed

       milk pudding!

       哎，那儿就有。

       Eh, there it is.

王渊源：对。

       Yes.

       嗯，真好吃！

       Yeah, very delicious!

韩佳：    是啊。 我吃过很多地方的双皮奶，

       Yes. I’ve tasted stewed milk

       pudding of many places,

       还真是这儿的最好吃啊。

       but the milk pudding here

       is the most delicious.

王渊源：那是当然的了。

       That’s for sure.

       这双皮奶本来就是顺德人发明的。

       Stewed milk pudding was invented

       in Shunde.

       这里的味道自然是最正宗的了。

       So naturally its taste is

       most genuine.

韩佳：    不简单啊！

       You’re remarkable!

       你连这个都知道。

       You even know this.

王渊源：你要知道，

       You ought to know

       我可是立志要成为一名美食家，

       I’m determined to become

       a gourmet

       尝遍天下美味的人。

       so as to taste all the delicious

       food in the world.

       来到顺德，

       Being in Shunde,

       知道这么一点儿常识，

       it is certainly necessary for me

       那是必需的呀。

       to know this little general knowledge.

韩佳：    那渊源呢刚才说到了一个词语“常识”。

       Yuanyuan just used the word

       “changshi”.

       “常识”啊是个名词，

       “Changshi” is a noun,

       就是指普通的知识。

       that means general knowledge.

王渊源：“常识”就是指普通的知识。

       So “changshi” means general

       knowledge, or common sense.

       比如，科学常识、生活常识等等。

       For example, general knowledge of

       science, common knowledge of life.

韩佳：    那你还能说出哪些有名的小吃啊？

       Then can you name some other

       famous snacks here?

       只要你说出来，我就请你吃。

       If you can, I’ll treat you to

       them myself.

王渊源：嗨，那也都是常识。

       Hey, it’s also common knowledge

       for me.

       难不住我呀。你听好。

       I won’t be stumped. Listen carefully.

       还有姜撞奶、水蛇粥、

       Also ginger yogurt, snake porridge,

       伦教糕、陈村粉、鱼皮饺等等。

       Lunjiao cake, Chencun vermicelli

       and fish-skin jiaozi.

       实在是太多了。

       Oh, there are so many.

韩佳：    确实是啊，你知道的可真不少啊。

       It’s true you do know quite a lot.

       那行吧，我兑现承诺

       Okay, I’ll make good my promise

       今天啊带你去吃遍顺德的小吃。

       to take you to eat all

       Shunde snacks.

王渊源：那倒不必了。

       That’s unnecessary.

韩佳：    不必了？

       Unnecessary?

       有人请客带你吃小吃你还不去？

       You’re invited to eat snacks

       and you refuse to go?

王渊源：你不知道，我是等着吃大餐。

       You don’t know that I’m waiting

       to eat a full meal.

       尽吃小吃，那太亏了。

       It would be unfair for me

       just to eat snacks.

旁白：    哦，原来渊源打的是这个如意算盘啊。

       Oh, actually Yuanyuan harbors

       this wishful thinking.

       不过，他倒也没说错，

       But he wasn’t wrong

       因为顺德是粤菜的发源地之一。

       because Shunde is one of the birthplaces

       of Guangdong cuisine.

       所以既然到这里了，

       Now that we are here,

       就一定要亲自感受感受顺德粤菜的魅力。

       we should certainly get a feel for

       the charm of Guangdong cuisine.

韩佳：    一般的粤菜呢

       Normally Guangdong cuisine

       会选用山珍海味为原料，

       uses delicacies both from land

       and sea as the ingredients

       而顺德菜呢，

       whereas Shunde cuisine

       则是以当地最常见的淡水活鱼等为原料。

       mostly uses local fresh-water live fish

       as the ingredient.

       在粤菜中啊独树一帜。

       So it stands out as a unique part

       of Guangdong cuisine.

王渊源：“独树一帜”

       Does “du shu yi zhi”

       是指单独竖起一面旗帜吗？

       mean to put up a flag?

韩佳：    你说的是字面上的解释。

       That’s the literal interpretation.

       “独树一帜”呢是一个成语，

       “Du shu yi zhi” is an idiom,

       用来比喻在某种学问或者是技艺上，

       which means to stake out one’s

       own course,

       有独特的见解或者是独创的做法，

       or to have a point of view

       or method

       能够自成一派、与众不同。

       that stands out as unique.

王渊源：“独树一帜”

       So “du shu yi zhi”

       用来比喻在某种学问或者是技艺上，

       means to stake out one’s

       own course,

       有独特的见解或者是独创的做法，

       or to have a point of view

       or method

       能够自成一派、与众不同。

       that stands out as unique.

韩佳：    就好像我们刚才说的，

       Just as we said just now,

 

 

   Shùn  dé  cài  zài  yuè  cài  zhōng  dúshùyízhì

       顺    德  菜  在   粤   菜    中    独树一帜。

       Shunde cuisine stands out as a unique part

       of Guangdong cuisine.

 

       而顺德菜之所以能够赢得大家的称赞呢，

       The acclaim won by Shunde cuisine

       又得益于顺德的厨师们。

       should be attributed to

       Shunde chefs.

王渊源：顺德出名厨。

       Shunde produces famed chefs.

       这个我也听说过。

       I also heard about it.

韩佳：    这个你也知道啊？

       You also know this?

王渊源：那当然了。

       Of course.

       顺德可是个厨师之乡啊，

       Shunde is home to chefs

       有句话说得好：

       as the saying goes:

       “食在广州，厨出顺德。”

       “The chefs of Guangdong

       cuisine are from Shunde.”

       难道我们今天还会去拜访名厨啊？

       Is it that we’re going to visit a

       famous chef today?

韩佳：    你说对了。

       You’re right.

       这样咱们的美食之旅才算完整嘛。

       That would make our gourmet

       food journey complete.

王渊源：哇，太丰盛了呀！

       Wow, the table is groaning!

韩佳：    嗯。这些呢都顺德的特色菜肴。

       Sure. These are all Shunde specialties.

       它们出自中国烹饪大师罗福南先生之手。

       They are cooked by the famous

       Chinese chef Luo Funan.

       有请罗先生，罗先生。您好。

       Mr. Luo, please. Hello.

王渊源：罗先生，您好。

       Hello, Mr. Luo.

       您做的这些菜，

       Just a look at these dishes

       you cooked

       光是看一看，闻一闻，

       and smelling them

       让人食欲大增啊。

       is appetizing enough.

罗先生：过奖过奖。

       I’m flattered.

韩佳：    那您能不能给我们讲讲，

       Can you tell us

       这些菜在制作方面有什么讲究吗？

       how these dishes are cooked?

旁白：    听师傅介绍，做这些菜

       The chef said that cooking

       these dishes

       除了结合酸、甜、苦、辣、咸、鲜的口味搭配，

       requires coordinating the various tastes

       还要充分利用物料的特性，

       and the full use of the ingredients

       最终，使菜肴达到色、香、味、形俱全的标准。

       so as to made the dishes taste

       and look good.

韩佳：    我们今天来到这里，

       Today we had

       可真的是大饱了眼福啊。

       a big feast for our eyes.

王渊源：是啊。不过光饱眼福肯定不行。

       Yes. But a feast for the eyes

       isn’t good enough.

       我最关心的是饱口福。

       I’m most interested in a

       feast for the mouth.

 

 

赏心悦目：

 

       顺德是粤菜的发源地之一

       Sunde is one of the birthplaces of

       Guangdong cuisine.

       自古以来 美食之风盛行不衰

       Here gourmet food dates back to

       ancient times.

       顺德菜选料讲究 做工精细

       Sunde food uses choicest ingredients

       and is cooked meticulously.

       富于创意 别具匠心

       Innovative and resourceful,

       Guangdong cuisine.

       这里也是中国著名的厨师之乡
