柚子、柿子、枣子、栗子...秋天那么多美好的食物,英语怎么说?还有香甜的桂花、肥美的大闸蟹...另外,美国也有很多秋天的好东西。今天Jenny和Diana分享秋日的美好!
关键词:
Autumn还是Fall?
Fall means autumn. It's what Americans say: fall就是autumn, 秋天,不过是美语的说法
比如:
Fall is my favorite seaon of the year: 秋天是我最爱的季节
Fall sale: 秋季打折
Fall fashion: 秋季时尚
What's in season: 当季的、时令的
#1.Citrus: 柑橘类植物
Pomelo 柚子
Grape fruit 西柚
Grape fruit is sour and bitter: 西柚酸酸、苦苦的
We also call Mandarin oranges "cuties":橘子也叫“cuties"小可爱
Peelable: 皮容易剥
You must be salivating:聊到这些,非常生津
#2.Persimmon 柿子
Persimmon: 柿子
Ripe: 熟的
Unripe persimmons taste very dry in your mouth: 没熟的柿子吃起来很涩
These words can also describe avocado: 这些词也能形容牛油果
Crunchy/crispy persimmon: 脆柿
Apple crisps, veggie crisps: 苹果脆片、蔬菜脆片
I used to think they were healthy. But actually they are not: 我以前以为这些很健康, 其实不然
#3.Dates/jujube枣子
Dates: 枣子
Jujube: 冬枣
*现在当季的冬枣其实用jujube这个词更确切。但是口语里dates的使用频率更高。
You don't see many fresh dates in America: 美国新鲜枣子比较少
Dried dates: 晒干的、蜜饯类的枣子
Roasted chestnuts: 烤栗子、炒栗子
Aroma: 香味
除了糖炒栗子,秋天还有一种不可错过的味道:
Osmanthus: 桂花
I love walking on the streets and smelling the aroma of osmanthus: 我最爱在路上边走边闻桂花的香味
It smells like candy, so sweet: 桂花闻起来像糖果一样,非常香甜
It's Diana's favorite! 冰糖葫芦是Diana的最爱
Fresh hawthorn is not common in America: 新鲜山楂在美国不常见
But there is something similar in America: 但美国有很像冰糖葫芦的食物
Candied apple/toffee apple/caramel apple: 冰糖苹果、太妃苹果、焦糖苹果
秋天的美味用英语怎么说
美国秋天有什么好吃的?
It's pumpkin spiced everything when it's fall in America: 秋天到来的时候,美国什么东西都是南瓜味的
Pumpkin spiced latte, pumpkin pie, pumpkin milk shake:南瓜拿铁,南瓜派,南瓜奶昔
*这里的"spiced" 不是辣,而是指用香料调味
Pumpkin is popular from Halloween to Thanksgiving: 南瓜从万圣节流行到感恩节
节日限定:
Thanksgiving pumpkin pie:感恩节南瓜派
#2.Spices 各种香料
cinnamon 肉桂
nutmeg 豆蔻
These spices make you feel warm inside: 这些香料让你感觉暖暖的
所以圣诞节的时候,一定要有:
ginger bread cookies 姜饼
ginger bread man/ ginger bread house 姜饼人、姜饼屋
这一点和中医理论也不谋而合呢,秋冬就得吃点暖的。
#3.Sweet potato 红薯
Americans love roasted sweet potatoes in fall: 美国人秋天也喜欢吃烤红薯
I don't think it's the most hygienic: 有时可能不太卫生
Depends on the can they use:要看那个烤红薯的筒干不干净
不过别怕:
You can microwave it: 可以用微波炉烤红薯
Buy the small ones, cut criss cross and put butter on top: 买小红薯,划十字、上面放点黄油
The butter melts into the sweet potatoes. It tastes great: 黄油融入红薯,吃起来非常香
Put on weight: 长胖
最后来只大闸蟹
Alghough nowadays, you can find these different things anytime, seasonal food always tastes the best:虽然现在这些食物其它季节也吃得到,但当季的最好吃
I love them! 我好爱吃
You are an ABC, but you have a Shanghainese stomach: 虽然你是美国出生长大,但胃还是很上海的
