century egg 松花蛋

(单词翻译:单击)

"Century eggs are popular among the Chinese as a pungent1 appetizer," CNN said in the iReport. "But for others, the idea of feasting on black eggs that have been preserved in clay for months may not be appetizing."

CNN在它的iReport中如此写道:“松花蛋是一道广受中国人欢迎的气味扑鼻的开胃小菜。不过对于别人而言,这种用黏土裹了好几个月的黑蛋,光是想想可能就会让人胃口全无。”

文中的century eggs指的就是松花蛋,也叫皮蛋。松花蛋和咸鸭蛋(salted duck egg)都属于腌制蛋(preserved egg)。卷入这场“国际争端”的CNN网站记者丹尼•霍瓦达已发表声明道歉,不过网络热议(Internet buzz)仍然未消。

也许,CNN的这项评选也不过是戏谑(tongue-in-cheek)而已。每个国家都有自己独特的饮食文化,我们应该秉持一颗包容尊重的心来对待多元文化(diversified2 cultures)。
