汉堡在平壤

A hamburger (or burger) is a sandwich consisting of a cooked patty of ground meat, usually beef, placed in an open bun or between two slices of bread. Hamburgers are often served with lettuce¹, tomato, onion, pickles², or cheese and condiments³ such as ketchup⁴, mustard, mayonnaise, and relish⁵.

汉堡包(或称汉堡)是一种夹了一块碎肉馅的三明治,通常是将牛肉放在一片小圆面包上或夹在两片面包之间。汉堡包经常配有莴苣、西红柿、洋葱、泡黄瓜,或奶酪和调味品,如番茄酱、芥末,蛋黄酱以及其他佐料。

Hamburgers are usually a feature of western fast food restaurants. The hamburgers served in major fast food establishments are mass-produced in factories and frozen for delivery to the site. A high-quality hamburger patty is made entirely⁶ of ground beef and seasonings⁷; this may be described as an “all-beef hamburger” or “all-beef patties” to distinguish them from inexpensive hamburgers made with added flour, texturized vegetable protein or other fillers to decrease their cost.

汉堡包通常是西方快餐店的特色。在主要快餐店供应的汉堡包是在工厂里大批量生产冷冻后送来的。高品质的汉堡包肉饼完全是由牛肉和调味料制成。它们可被称作“全牛肉汉堡”或“全牛肉饼”，以区别于添加了面粉、膨体植物蛋白或其他添加剂以降低成本制成的廉价汉堡包。

虽然其领导人金正日早已禁止任何被认为是“美帝国主义”的文化侵袭,但该国在2009年6月还是开设了其第一家快餐店。

The restaurant was opened with the help of a Singaporean company, according to the Choson Sinbo, a North Korean newspaper operating out of Japan. The newspaper added that the restaurant also serves waffles and draught⁹ beer, and is planning to introduce hot dogs and croissants to its menu, but with Korean names.

根据在日本经营的《朝鲜新报》报道,这家餐厅是在一家新加坡公司帮助下开业的。该报补充道,餐厅也提供华夫饼干和桶装啤酒, 并计划引进热狗和羊角面包,但用朝鲜名字写在菜单上。

Before the restaurant opened, staff were trained on cooking and service techniques by a staffer dispatched from the Singaporean company, but it developed food with new flavors after repeated tasting and sampling.

在餐厅开业前,新加坡公荀派来了一名员工训练餐厅员工烹调和脤务技能。但是他们在不断尝试和取样后做出了新口味。

The menu features many items that would be familiar to most Americans, but while there is an item that looks like a hambuiger and tastes like a hamburger the North Koreans do not call it a hamburger.

美国人对菜单上大多数东西都很熟悉，但上面有一道菜看起来像汉堡包、吃起来像汉堡包但朝鲜人却不称其为汉堡包。
