Translation原文我給我男朋友解釋說，火鍋一邊的鍋底比較清淡，另一邊的是辣椒油，里面全是辣椒，必須小心對待。然后我解釋如何將各種配菜放到煮沸的鍋里，燙熟，在各種調(diào)味醬中蘸一下，然后吃掉。

Translation原文很快，我們都自己動手開始吃了，相互分享最好吃的，同時閑聊我們假期都干了什么。但是，我男朋友的盤子是空的。我看到他夾起一片又一片，每一片都看一看，然后又放回鍋里。Translation原文我問他：“你找什么呢？”他看上去很迷茫：“他們是怎么知道哪片是自己放進(jìn)去的？我怎么才能找到自己放進(jìn)去的那些呢？”我們大笑，然后我才意識到他是認(rèn)真的。Translation原文后來，我又看了一眼我男朋友。他非常慢地咀嚼著，筷子停在半空中。他看上去滿腹狐疑但臉上又掛著禮貌的微笑。Translation原文我問他：“又怎么了？你以前又不是沒用過筷子！”“不是，不是因?yàn)檫@個。我吃到的和我想象的不一樣。”雖然他面帶微笑，但我還是能看出來他在想什么。我甚至可以聽出來他吃的是什么東西，盡管周圍很嘈雜。忽然，我想起了自己第一次在中國吃中餐的感覺。Translation原文我跟他解釋說：“這不是曼哈頓唐人街的外賣中餐，那種中餐是根據(jù)西方人口味作了專門調(diào)整的，現(xiàn)在吃的才是真正的中國人吃的真正的中餐！”我怎么會把他帶到這兒來呢？這可是他在中國吃的第一頓飯！我真應(yīng)該帶他去上中餐初級班，就像他以前上中文初級班一樣。原文Translation現(xiàn)在我在中國，吃真正的中餐已經(jīng)成為一種習(xí)慣?？晌业谝淮蝸淼臅r候，不管上什么菜，我都硬吞下去，盡管我根本不喜歡吃，為的只是讓主人開心而已。對于西方人來說，味道并不是主要的問題。這里大部分菜的味道要么很熟悉，即使不熟悉也不至于難以下咽。問題出在食物給人的感覺。除了豬排和雞翅之外，大多數(shù)西方人只想吃那些能用刀叉分解的食物。他們不想吮食出聲，也不想沒完沒了地咀嚼。Translation原文但是，漸漸地，在中國住了幾個月后，我意識到我喜歡的是中餐的這種感覺，這也是我在離開中國時所懷念的?，F(xiàn)在，中餐已經(jīng)使我感到貪饞了。Translation原文我現(xiàn)在到了中國就像到了自己家一樣，但我男朋友第一次吃真正中餐的經(jīng)歷還是嚇了我一跳，也讓他開始想家了。
