减肥(lose weight)已经不再是另类创举,它已经被大家所接纳并成为了一种默认的审美标准。要减掉身上那些在别人眼中,或是在自己眼中看来累赘的脂肪,想必吃素是不错的选择。加上疯牛病(mad cow disease)、禽流感(bird flu)的轮番袭击,我们前所未有地感觉到素食的重要性。今天我们就来看看几个和吃素有关的英语表达法:0 o: b/ P5 }3 h3 R
* E: P3 @% T' U2 j
食素自然和蔬菜有关,英语中有关吃素的词语也就和vegetable一词密不可分。吃素的人分为两种:' E) V" z5 f, T. ]) O, |, e
vegetarian素食者,不吃任何肉类食品的人
2 T5 G+ ~+ }9 h& P◆The vegetarian restaurant around the corner attracts many tourists each year.
+ `# V, d' i; u. P6 q4 P% l% ~9 {vegan严格的素食者(除肉类外,也不不吃鸡蛋和任何奶制品)
9 p8 H, J. G+ m7 I! D" \! x◆She became a vegan after she believed in Buddhism.
0 B# }+ l9 j, K ) G9 x8 p% M z' l6 ]
除了各种蔬菜之外,素食者还会吃些什么样的食物呢?下面是他们可以选择的两种食品:
# G# E; ?4 |/ B" s+ Cvegeburger(vegetable+burger)植物蛋白饼,即蔬菜包(面包里夹有蔬菜,虽然不像汉堡包(hamburger)里有大块的肉饼,但是形状上看似肉夹饼,望上一眼,多少也就果腹了)& s {8 {9 \! Z! n0 }
◆The newly marketed vegeburger is claimed to be more healthy and tasty than the traditional hamburgers.1 }0 ?3 O# t( f! E8 R( h% P
vegelate (vegetable+chocolate) 素巧克力(用植物油脂vegetable fat作稳定剂的巧克力)+ n6 A- z1 r' I
◆Incredibly the Europeans think it’s being reasonable – they had originally wished to label British chocolate by the mouth-watering term, “vegelate”.
7 N% g: i4 V" b1 M* c9 m) @ + P5 S. ~& Q3 v4 \& g K6 s2 n
在vegetarian/vegan等词的基础上,还衍生出一些表示其他意义的词汇和短语,例如: C8 j8 q: Q9 _# V3 w9 S5 l, Y" E2 `! z
vegetate过无所事事的单调生活$ V- M5 y4 @- f4 o
◆I got fed up with vegetating at home during the holiday.3 q/ l, G Q' N0 h. O
veg out既可表示过素食者生活,又可表示过单调呆板的日子9 ^! p6 d1 a. M: \7 k& K$ T
◆Vegging out! is dedicated to promoting plant-based food and nutrition, whether you are a vegan, vegetarian, or someone who simply wants to eat more foods from the earth.. o% T2 @2 y4 u
◆We found ourselves having nothing to do during the weekend but vegging out for hours watching TV.3 O# L% M& m3 W
0 p$ e1 T2 S! G$ `
除此之外,在日常口语或非正式的场合中,还有两个简略的词语,通常用来表达蔬菜或素食者:veg (=vegetable英国英语), veggie (=vegetarian, 英国英语,或vegetable,美国英语)。
# M( y' Y8 ?6 z( T ( r) r6 I6 i3 H% a6 O8 l8 R
选择吃素还是吃荤是个人的自由,关键是要有个均衡的饮食(balanced diet)。不过,吃素也好,不吃素也好,我们可能都不想自己的生活处于vegging out的状态。 |
