2017年我们迫不及待的想要尝尝这些快餐美食啦

 　　Fast food to look forward to

　　期待的快餐

　　A new year means some tasty new treats available at our favorite fast food joints¹. Check out what the 2017 menus are promising² at McDonald’s, Starbucks.

　　新的一年意味着我们最爱的快餐连锁店会推出一些新的美食。麦当劳和星巴克的菜单又会在新的一年多出哪些美味呢？一起来看看吧。

　　McDonald’s, Mac Junior (US only)

　　麦当劳，小号巨无霸（只在美国出售）

　　For those of us that crave³ the taste of a Big Mac with a little less filling. The new sandwich was tested earlier in 2016 in Ohio and Dallas as they're thought to be "beef-centric areas". The Mac Jr. is a single-layer Big Mac which is a little kinder to the waist line with 480 calories. Is it for you? Or are you a Big Mac fan through and through?

　　这款适合那些想吃巨无霸但又不想吃得太饱的人群。2016年早些时候，由于俄亥俄州和达拉斯市被人们认为是“以牛肉为中心的地区”，因此已在这两个地方测验过新的三明治。小号巨无霸是单层的巨无霸，含480卡路里，因此不会让你的腰围变得太粗。适合你吗？还是你至始至终都只喜欢巨无霸呢？

　　McDonald’s, Grand Mac (US only)

　　麦当劳，超大巨无霸（只在美国出售）

　　And next we introduce the burger of burgers (in McDonald's terms anyway). The Grand Mac is made with two 1/6th-pound patties and two slices of American cheese served on a larger sesame seed bun with the usual lettuce⁴, onions and pickles⁵. Guard your stomachs, as this giant burger is a whopping 890 calories all on its own. Better not eat for the rest of the day...

　　我们要介绍的下一个产品就是汉堡中的汉堡（至少麦当劳是这么称呼的）。超大巨无霸是在一个更大号的芝麻面包中夹入两片1/6磅的肉饼、两片美国干酪、普通的生菜、洋葱和腌菜。只一个汉堡就有890卡，因此不会让你感到饥饿。吃完超大巨无霸后，当天最好不要再吃东西了。

　　Starbucks, Cascara latte

　　星巴克，卡斯卡拉拿铁

　　When you need your morning coffee, is Starbucks your go-to coffee shop? This year, Starbucks will be releasing its new Cascara latte! The latte is made from the fruit of the coffee cherry and features light, subtle notes of maple⁶ and dark brown sugar! This sounds like our kind of morning joe!

　　当你早晨需要喝一杯咖啡时，你会不会去星巴克呢？今年，星巴克推出了新的卡斯卡拉拿铁！这款拿铁是由咖啡樱桃水果制成，特点就是放了红糖，散发出淡淡的枫树味！听起来正是我们早晨所需要的！

　　Starbucks, Sous Vide Egg Bites

　　星巴克，“65度C”蛋类小吃

　　Starbucks is expanding its morning menu from January, and one of the tasty new additions is the Sous Vide Egg Bites. Starbucks felt there was a market for ‘handheld products’ that 'appeal to wellness and health demands'. The tasty-looking bites are made from egg whites, spinach⁷ and red peppers or you could pick gruyere and Monterey Jack⁸ cheese topped with a layer of Applewood smoked bacon. They're an excellent source of protein, wheat free and wholesome⁹. And you can grab them and go.

　　从一月份开始，星巴克正逐渐增加早餐种类，而“65度C”蛋类小吃就是其中一种，十分美味。星巴克老板觉得‘手握美食’很有市场，‘能够迎合健康的需求’。这一看上去十分诱人的小吃是由蛋清、菠菜和红辣椒制成的，或者你也可以选择在格吕耶尔干酪和杰克起司上放一层烟熏培根。这些早餐是蛋白质的极佳来源，而且不含小麦，十分有利于人体健康。而且你可以点一份带走。

　　Starbucks, organic soups

　　星巴克，有机汤

　　Soon, Starbucks will be debuting¹⁰ soup. In the spring, a new line of organic soups will be released as part of a regional roll-out.

　　很快，星巴克就会推出汤类了。春天，作为地区融入的部分措施，星巴克将会新推出有机汤。
