Foods and Their Symbolic Meaning
美食在中華文化中扮演著重要角色,也有著象征意義。食物的象征意義可以來源于其外形或者名字發音。以下是一些中華文化中極具象征性的食物。
1.Eggs
Eggs hold a special symbolic significance in many cultures,and China is no exception.The Chinese believe eggs symbolize① fertility(豐產).After a baby is born,parents may hold a “red egg and ginger party,” where they pass out hard boiled eggs to announce② the birth.(In some regions of China the number of eggs presented depends on the sex of the child: an even number for a girl,and an odd number if a boy has been born).
2.Noodles
Noodles are a symbol of longevity in Chinese culture.They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries.Since noodles do symbolize long life,it is considered③ very unlucky to cut up a strand.
3.Fish
Although westerners sometimes balk at the sight of an entire fish lying on a plate,in China a fish served whole is a symbol of prosperity④.In fact,at a banquet it is customary to serve the whole fish last,pointing toward the guest of honour.Fish also has symbolic significance because the Chinese word for fish,yu,sounds like the word for riches or abundance⑤,and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
4.Chicken
In Chinese culture,chicken forms part of the symbolism of the dragon and phoenix.At a Chinese wedding,chicken’s feet (sometimes referred to as phoenix feet) are often served with dragon foods such as lobster.Chicken is also popular at Chinese New Year,symbolizing a good marriage and the coming together of families (serving the bird whole emphasizes⑥ family unity).
詞海拾貝
①symbolize vt.象征
②announce vt.宣布
③consider vt.認為
④prosperity n.繁榮
⑤abundance n.豐盛
⑥emphasize vt.強調
典句欣賞
After a baby is born,parents may hold a “red egg and ginger party,” where they pass out hard boiled eggs to announce the birth.
譯文:嬰兒出生后,父母可以舉行“紅雞蛋和生姜宴”,在宴會上他們分發煮好的雞蛋以宣布新生兒的出生。
分析:本句是一個復合句。After a baby is born是時間狀語從句,parents may hold...是主句,where they pass...是定語從句。
理解誘思
1.What do people believe eating fish will do?
答案:It will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
2.What kind of food do you like best and why?
答案:(Open.)

【溫馨提示】(1)ever since的用法和since完全一致,它們之后的從句要用一般過去時,主句要用現在完成時態。
(2)It is/has been+一段時間+since...意為“自從……以來已經多久了”,since后面的句子用現在完成時;如前面是It was+一段時間,since...后面的句子要用過去完成時。
