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:' W# U" M, X4 N9 u; [
2 D) {. b4 a: a4 Y) U) x5 Q$ P2 z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:9 r2 G6 b9 `- ?+ ^8 o5 w. B4 ^

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:
3 X, r+ u# S) G n' D# kvegeburger(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)

vegelate (vegetable+chocolate) 素巧克力(用植物油脂vegetable fat作稳定剂的巧克力)
/ c; B7 b& y: \; ?9 o7 j◆Incredibly the Europeans think it’s being reasonable – they had originally wished to label British chocolate by the mouth-watering term, “vegelate”./ m. j n0 }6 D7 N
* U) H: Z0 g r- J% t5 L$ @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:
) q# ~( u4 J( I% V0 G) t* y7 lvegetate过无所事事的单调生活" K% g5 A/ d1 U1 F6 |# g7 F
◆I got fed up with vegetating at home during the holiday.

' K. ], n0 J. l# E& K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)。, i7 Z" s$ a* k' v8 u7 |
4 H9 M& L I- r! d* y0 l1 E
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。 |
