摘要
关于怎么吃这个问题，中国人或许最谙其道。我在这里谈论的并不是他们那精美的高级烹饪，或是他们古老而传统的烹饪法，而是中国普通家庭烹饪的魅力——能把大量朴实无华且以素食为主的原料变成美味佳肴，令人吃起来不仅能获得各种感官上的愉悦满足，还很健康、实惠和环保。
The Chinese know, perhaps better than anyone else, how to eat. I＇m not talking here about theirexquisite haute cuisine, or their ancient tradition of 4）gastronomy. I＇m talking about the ability of ordinary Chinese home cooks to transform humble and largely vegetarian ingredients into wonderful delicacies, and to eat in a way that not only delights the senses, but also makes sense in terms of health, economy and the environment.
