“炸醬面”如何翻譯為英語?請(qǐng)看新華社相關(guān)報(bào)道:
US vice-president Joe Biden and his guests ordered five bowls of noodles with fried bean and meat sauce, ten steamed stuffed buns, a cucumber salad, a yam salad, a potato salad and some coca-cola, costing 79 yuan ($12) at a local Beijing noodle restaurant, the microblog of the US embassy, Beijing said.
據(jù)美國駐華大使館微博發(fā)布的消息稱,美國副總統(tǒng)喬·拜登一行人在北京一家面館點(diǎn)了5碗炸醬面、10個(gè)包子、拌黃瓜、涼拌山藥、涼拌土豆絲和幾瓶可樂,一共花費(fèi)了79元(12美元)。
北京特色小吃“炸醬面”在上文中的譯法是noodles with fried bean and meat sauce,也可簡單表達(dá)為noodles with bean paste。拜登沒有去大飯館用餐,而選擇路邊的小吃店品嘗北京最平常的炸醬面,這一舉動(dòng)引起了眾多網(wǎng)民的熱議。除了炸醬面,拜登還吃了steamed stuffed buns(包子)、cucumber salad(拌黃瓜)、yam salad(涼拌山藥)等小菜。
北京小吃歷史悠久、品種繁多,有g(shù)lutinous rice rolls with sweet bean flour(驢打滾兒)、candied rice fritter of Manchu origin / sachima(薩琪瑪)、yellow split peas cake(豌豆黃兒)、sweetened baked wheaten cake(糖火燒)、fermented bean drink(豆汁兒)、以及 stewed liver(炒肝兒)等。
