chocoholic 和 chocolate 有什么关系?
英国爱情小说家卡罗尔·马修曾写道:“谁说金钱买不到幸福?那是你没把钱花在巧克力上。”
欧洲人爱吃巧克力,也盛产名牌巧克力。新冠疫情以来,巧克力成为很多人宅在家中的好伴侣。因为巧克力这种食物有许多优点,可以帮助人们度过“宅家”的日子:巧克力香醇的滋味不仅能让人心情愉悦;同时,它还含有一种无害的类似大麻的物质,可以使人精神振奋。
我们都知道葡萄酒的品尝通常要通过视觉、嗅觉和味觉几个步骤,巧克力的品鉴也大抵如此,只是在技术、评估方法和涉及到的感官方面做了微调。品鉴巧克力时,可以试试这样做:首先,使出浑身解数,动用全部感官。其次,全神贯注地品尝,不能边看电视边吃。最后,不可狼吞虎咽,用舌头抵住上颚,认真感受巧克力在口中慢慢消融。
据记载,康熙皇帝是中国第一个“吃”到巧克力的人!1706 年,意大利使节到中国传教期间,将巧克力作为药品献给康熙,那时候的巧克力还不是我们熟悉的固体巧克力——最早的巧克力是一种油腻的饮料,由可可种子制作而成。可可豆本身是苦的,而我们现在所喜爱的巧克力则加入了糖、牛奶以及奶粉。Chocolate comes from the seed of the tropical cacao tree. Cacao has been grown for thousands of years in Central America and Mexico. Historians believe chocolate was first produced in Mexico by the Aztecs. The word 'chocolate’ comes from an Aztec word for a drink made from the cacao seed. The product of the cacao seed has a very bitter taste. The chocolate we know and love contains sugar, milk and milk powder.
研究表明,巧克力还可以降低心脏病的危害,能够抗氧化防衰老。并且,与同等热量的其他食品相比,不容易让人发胖,科学食用巧克力还能减肥,比如:吃不含糖类物质的黑巧克力。古时的玛雅人还会利用巧克力治疗疾病,如皮疹,发热,乏力等。Chocolate contains chemicals that can be good for us. Scientists say it can lower our blood pressure and make us feel positive. It also gives us a tasty energy boost and makes our brain more active.
不过,吃甜食可不能贪多,而且还是要注意牙齿及口腔的健康问题哦!It’s not all good news though. Too much chocolate can make us fat and give us tooth decay。
例句:Now, if you're like me and you have a sweet tooth, maybe at Easter, you could confess and tell people that you are a chocoholic.中译:如果你像我一样喜欢吃甜食,也许在复活节这一天,你可以坦白地告诉别人你是个巧克力控。
无论是庆祝节日,还是登门拜访。巧克力都是一个不错的小礼物!在送给家人朋友巧克力的同时,我们可以一并送上哪些祝福呢?
