2020-2021学年Unit 1 Food for thought学案

1. Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I've enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork-and chopsticks!

我在英国长大，父亲是英国人，母亲是中国人，自从能拿刀叉和筷子起我就享用两国的食物。

2. Mum has sweet memories of the food from her home town in Sichuan, and often cooks ①spicy dishes. Thanks to this,Dad has come to love ②hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad ③dare not try even after many years of ④marriage to my mother. He once told me he was surprised by what he saw on the table when he first visited my mother's parents in China. He was even shocked at their ⑤wedding when he saw how the Chinese ate almost every part of an animal. Even today, he still does not easily take to eating things like chicken feet.

妈妈对家乡四川的食物有着美好的回忆，经常做①_____的菜肴。因为这个原因，爸爸才爱上了②_____！但是还有一些菜，即使在和我母亲④_____多年后，爸爸也不③_____尝试。他曾经告诉我，当他第一次去中国探望我母亲的父母时，他对桌上看到的东西感到惊讶。在他们的⑤______上，当他看到中国人几乎把动物的每一部分都作为食物时，他甚至感到震惊。即使在今天，他也不喜欢吃鸡爪之类的东西。

3. But I enjoy that ⑥sort of food myself. Last week,I went to the ⑦butcher's and asked, "Do you have pigs'ears?” “No,"the butcher said, pulling at his own ears,“just these ordinary ones.”He must have thought I was joking.

但我喜欢这⑥___食物。上周，我去⑦______问：“有猪耳朵吗？”“没有，”肉贩拽着自己的耳朵说，“只有这些普通的。”他一定以为我在开玩笑。

4. Dad can cook a ⑧super "full English breakfast" of ⑨bacon,eggs,beans,⑩sausages and⑪ toast with ⑫butter-Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a ⑬typical Sunday roast. We all love⑭ roast beef and vegetables,but Mum says we'd better not eat too much roast food as it may make us ⑮suffer from heat inside our bodies, according to traditional Chinese medicine.

爸爸可以做一份⑧_____丰盛的英式早餐，包括⑨____、鸡蛋、豆子、⑩___和⑫___⑪_____－妈妈和我只需要想个办法让他进入厨房就行了！他也做⑬_____周日⑭_____肉。我们都喜欢烤牛肉和蔬菜，但是妈妈说我们最好不要吃太多的烧烤食品，因为根据中医来说它可能会使我们⑮______上火。

5. I’ll never forget my first visit to China. Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food,and I did! I loved everything. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across ⑯stinky ⑰tofu,a ⑱horrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe.“You needn't try it if you don't want to,”Mum said, but I ⑲gathered all my Courage to take a ⑳bite and was amazed to find it wasn't so bad. It reminded me of blue cheese,a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I'll fall in love with stinky tofu-someday.

我永远不会忘记我第一次来中国。妈妈鼓励我尝试不同种类的食物，我尝试了！我喜欢所有东西。但就在我以为我能应付所有中国菜的时候，我发现了⑯____⑰____，一种⑱___   _灰色东西，看起来和闻起来像一只烧焦的运动鞋。妈妈说：“如果你不想尝试的话，你不必去尝试。”但我⑲_____⑳_____了一口，很惊讶地发现它并不那么糟糕。它让我想起了蓝纹______，这是一种你要么喜欢要么讨厌的同样味道很浓的食物。也许______我会爱上臭豆腐。

6. People say that one man's meat is another man's poison,but I feel at home with food from both my cultures. To me, there's nothing better than a cross-cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup!

人们说：“甲之蜜糖，乙之____”，但来自两种文化的食物我都能享用。对我来说，没有什么比一份英式饼干配一杯精致______茶杯盛放的中国______茶的跨文化下午茶更好的了！
