8、acter,and culture.法国作家让安泰尔姆布里亚-萨瓦兰曾写道:“告诉我你平时吃什么，我就可以说出你是个什么样的人。”简单地说，这句话就是“人如其食”的意思。如今，大多数人把这条谚语与健康饮食联系起来。然而，布里亚-萨瓦兰实际上指的是我们的个性、品格及文化。Certainly,in many ways this seems to be true.Chinese cuisine is a case in point.Prior to coming to China,my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America,with

13、，此话不假。中国菜就是个很好的例子。来中国之前，我只在美国接触过中式烹任，那里的中国食物已被改变，以适应美国人的口味。例如，在美国最受欢迎的中国菜是“左宗棠鸡”，它在油炸的鸡肉上淋上甜酱，再佐以煸炒过的红辣椒制成。然而，这或许并不是地道的中餐做法，因此并不能让我们对中国人了解多少。不过在另一方面，它确实让我们对美国人了解很多。例如，这道菜说明美国人喜爱浓烈、简单的口味。此外，由于这道菜也是新发明，说明美国人不惧怕尝试新的菜品。Later,I had a chance to experience authentic Chinese food by coming to China.When my
