中國對(duì)包子、米粥等傳統(tǒng)食物的頑固堅(jiān)守，意味著即使是肯德基(KFC)這類西方快餐店都得學(xué)著做包子，才能在中國的早餐市場上生存。事實(shí)上，肯德基早餐時(shí)間供應(yīng)的皮蛋瘦肉粥(原文稱皮蛋為“百年老蛋”(hundred-year-old egg)——譯者注)配油條套餐(該套餐售價(jià)8元人民幣，約合1美元)極受歡迎，我去的時(shí)候經(jīng)常已經(jīng)賣光了。

　　In a city such as Shanghai, which celebrates its futuristic skyscrapers and hides historic neighbourhoods out of embarrassment, eating street food for breakfast may be the closest that most westerners get to traditional Chinese culture. And the best way to get up to speed on where to go — and how to tell a bun from a dumpling — is to take the “Street Eats Breakfast” tour, run by the offbeat guides UnTour.

　　在上海這樣一座為那些現(xiàn)代化摩天大樓而歡慶，而尷尬地把歷史悠久的老街區(qū)藏起來的城市里，去街頭小吃攤點(diǎn)吃早餐可能是大多數(shù)西方人與傳統(tǒng)中國文化最近距離的接觸。而想了解當(dāng)下吃早餐的好去處，以及分清包子和鍋貼，最佳方案就是參加另類旅游社UnTour組織的“街頭小吃早餐”之旅。

　　When the FT recently tagged along, Pennsylvanian Mitch Conquer, our guide, taught us everything from how to slurp the soup out of scalding dumplings, to the creation myth of the baozi (which holds that the buns were filled with meat and shaped like human heads to offer as sacrifices when plague hit a Chinese army nearly two millennia ago). Rival that, you cornflake connoisseurs.

　　英國《金融時(shí)報(bào)》近日也參加了一次。我們的導(dǎo)游米奇•康克爾(Mitch Conquer)來自美國賓夕法尼亞州，他教給了我們很多知識(shí)，從如何從滾燙的鍋貼里吸出湯汁，到包子誕生的故事(傳說將近兩千年前，一只中國軍隊(duì)遭遇瘟疫，人們用面皮包上肉餡，捏成人頭的形狀，當(dāng)做祭品供奉，這就是包子)。玉米片行家們，你們拿什么跟這個(gè)比?

　　But for all that Shanghai loves its buns, street eats of all varieties are under threat in China, says Anna Greenspan, author of Shanghai Future: Modernity Remade. Soon after I moved to China in 2008, for example, the city tore down one of the most famous and best-loved food streets, Wujiang Road, leaving Starbucks, McDonald’s and Subway in its place. “In the developed world, there is a renaissance of street food culture, with the food trucks,” she says. Not so in China, where street food markets are seen as unhygienic, noisy and just plain un-futuristic. In December, yet another famous Shanghai food street was demolished.

　　盡管上海人如此喜愛他們的包子，但《上海未來：重建現(xiàn)代性》(Shanghai Future: Modernity Remade)一書的作者安娜•格林斯潘(Anna Greenspan)說，在中國，各種街頭小吃都正面臨威脅。舉個(gè)例子，2008年我剛到中國不久，上海拆掉了最著名、最受歡迎的美食街之一，吳江路小吃街，現(xiàn)在那里只有星巴克(Starbucks)、麥當(dāng)勞(McDonald's)和賽百味(Subway)了。安娜•格林斯潘說：“在發(fā)達(dá)國家，一輛輛流動(dòng)食品車所代表的街頭食品文化正在復(fù)興。”在中國則不是這樣，街頭小吃市場在這里被認(rèn)為是不衛(wèi)生的、嘈雜的，而且毫不現(xiàn)代化。去年12月，又一條上海著名的美食街被拆除。

　　To add insult to injury Shanghai’s largest state-owned food group, Bright Food, recently bought the British breakfast icon Weetabix, and is working hard to introduce western shredded wheat and milk culture to China. Good luck with that. Weetabix seems to be tackling the snack market first, recently introducing green tea and dark chocolate Alpen cereal bars, just for the China market. But outside the Jiadeli supermarket, opposite the bun stall where UnTour took us, Yue Yumei, 53, says she’s never even heard of Weetabix. Vive la dumpling, I say: let them eat street food.

　　無異于往傳統(tǒng)街頭小吃傷口上撒鹽的是，上海最大的國營食品集團(tuán)光明食品(Bright Food)最近收購了英國代表性早餐食品品牌維他麥(Weetabix)，而且該集團(tuán)正努力將西方的牛奶麥片文化引入中國。祝他們好運(yùn)吧。維他麥似乎想先打入零食市場，近來推出了專門面向中國市場的綠茶和黑巧克力歐倍(Alpen)谷物棒。但在一家“家得利”(Jiadeli)超市外面，就在UnTour帶我們?nèi)サ囊患野愉亴?duì)面，53歲的岳玉梅說她從沒聽說過維他麥。鍋貼萬歲，我要說，他們想吃街頭食品就讓他們吃吧。

　　早餐的重要性 The Importance of Breakfast

　　As people are so busy with their work, they go to work directly in the morning without eating breakfast. Some people think not having breakfast does no influence on their body health. Some believe breakfast is important to people’s body health. In my opinion, I’m convinced that we should have breakfast because it is good for our body health.

　　人們都忙于自己的工作，所以在早上都會(huì)選擇直接上班，而不吃早餐。一些人認(rèn)為不吃早餐不會(huì)影響自己的身體健康。一些人認(rèn)為早餐對(duì)健康很重要。就我來說，我覺得為了身體健康著想，我們應(yīng)該吃早餐。

　　First of all, breakfast offer us the energy we need for the day. Before breakfast, our body has consumed all the energy we get from previous meal. Consequently, we need to eat some food in the morning to get enough energy and nutrient to support our body. If we don’t have breakfast, then we have no enough energy to do our work efficiently.

　　首先，早餐能夠給我們提供自己一天所需的能量。在吃早餐前，我們的身體一斤高消耗完了前一餐的食物提供給我們的能量。說以，我們需要在早上吃點(diǎn)兒東西來給我們的身體提供一些能量和營養(yǎng)。如果我們不吃早餐，那么我們沒有足夠的能量，這樣會(huì)導(dǎo)致我們工作效率低。

　　Secondly, people who skip breakfast will get weight easily. If you don’t have breakfast, then you will eat more food at noon and in the evening. Generally speaking, we don’t have much excise in the evening while we eat too much food. As a result, the surplus calorie will be stored in our body and make us fat.

　　其次，不吃早餐的人更容易肥胖。如果不吃早餐，你將會(huì)在中午和晚上吃大量的食物。通常來說，一般人們在晚上的活動(dòng)量會(huì)很少，但是，我們由于吃了太多的食物，那些多余的熱量會(huì)儲(chǔ)存在我們的身體里，讓我們變胖。

　　All in all, people should eat breakfast for the good of our health and for the good of keeping a good body shape.

　　總之，人們應(yīng)該吃早餐，不僅為了身體健康著想，也為我們能夠保持一個(gè)好的身材著想。

　　In Taiwan, breakfasts tend to be a mix of Northern and Eastern Chinese dishes and the traditional south-eastern Chinese fare. This is more pronounced in cities with high proportions of people of mainland Han Chinese descent, such as Taipei. 由于歷史的因素，臺(tái)灣的早餐沒有鮮明的本地特征，而是中國各地的混合體。
