早安,你今天 Q 了嗎?
一起來認識台灣美食的獨特口感
🇹🇼 In Italy, ‘Al Dente’ Is Prized. In Taiwan, It’s All About Food That’s ‘Q.’
台灣美食為什麼那麼「Q」?
🍭 NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — As dusk falls at Lehua Night Market, the fluorescent lights flicker on and the hungry customers start trickling in, anxious for a taste of the local delicacies that give this island its reputation as one of Asia’s finest culinary capitals. Neatly arranged pyramids of plump fish balls. Bowls brimming with tapioca balls bathed in lightly sweetened syrup. Sizzling oyster omelets, hot off the griddle. Deep-fried sweet potato puffs, still dripping with oil.
台灣新北市——隨著夜幕降臨樂華夜市,燈光亮起,飢腸轆轆的客人們三三兩兩來到這裡,急於品嚐讓這個島嶼享有亞洲最佳美食之城的當地美食。整齊排成小山的飽滿魚丸。一碗碗涼圓,淋著略帶甜味的糖漿。剛從鐵板上下來,滋滋作響的蚵仔煎。還滴著熱油的炸地瓜球。
-fluorescent: 發出螢光的
-trickle in: 三三兩兩地抵達
-reputation: 名聲
-culinary: 烹飪的
-griddle: 鐵板、煎鍋
-deep-fried: 油炸的
🍡 Take a bite of any of these dishes and you’ll discover a unique texture. But how exactly do you describe that perfectly calibrated “mouth feel” so sought after by local cooks and eaters alike?
Slippery? Chewy? Globby? Not exactly the most flattering adjectives in the culinary world.
Luckily, the Taiwanese have a word for this texture. Well, actually, it’s not a word, it’s a letter — one that even non-Chinese speakers can pronounce.
It’s “Q.”
隨便嘗一口這些小吃,你都會發現它們別具風味。但你該如何形容那種經過精心調配,令當地廚師和食客們趨之若鶩的「口感」呢?
滑溜?有嚼勁?黏稠?這些可算不上是美食界最好聽的形容。
幸運的是,台灣人有一個詞來形容這種口感。其實,這稱不上是個詞語,而是一個字母——就連不講中文的人也能說出它。
那就是「Q」。
-texture: 口感、質地、韻味
-calibrate: 校準、調整、調配
-be sought after: 趨之若鶩
-chewy: 有嚼勁的
🥤 “It’s difficult to explain what Q means exactly,” said Liu Yen-ling, a manager at Chun Shui Tang, a popular teahouse chain that claims to have invented tapioca milk tea in Taiwan. “Basically it means springy, soft, elastic.”
Q texture is to Taiwanese what umami is to Japanese and al dente is to Italians — that is, cherished and essential. Around Taiwan, the letter Q can often be glimpsed amid a jumble of Chinese characters on shop signs and food packages and in convenience stores and advertisements.
「很難解釋Q到底是什麼意思,」人氣連鎖茶飲品牌、號稱台灣珍珠奶茶發明者的春水堂的經理劉葉玲說。「基本上,它是彈牙、軟糯的意思。」
「Q」的口感之於台灣人,就等於「umami」(鮮)之於日本人,「al dente」(有嚼勁)之於義大利人——備受珍視,也必不可少。在台灣各地,可以在店鋪招牌和便利店、廣告的食物包裝中的一堆中文字裡瞥見「Q」這個字母。
-tapioca milk tea: 珍珠奶茶
-springy: 有彈性的、彈牙的
-umami: 鮮味
-al dente: 彈牙、有嚼勁
-glimpse: 瞥見
你知道用「Q」形容食物是台灣獨創嗎?

Chinese consumers are expected to spend tens of billions of dollars on everything from fresh food to luxury goods during this year’s Singles’ Day online shopping festival, as the country recovers from the pandemic
隨著中國景氣的復甦,預計在今年「雙11」的線上購物節期間,中國消費者將花費數百億美元,購買從新鮮食品到奢侈品等各種商品。
The shopping festival, which is the world’s largest and typically begins in November, is an annual extravaganza where China’s e-commerce companies, including Alibaba, JD.com and Pinduoduo, offer generous discounts on their platforms.
雙11是年度的盛大慶典,它是全球最大的購物節,一般從每年十一月開始,中國的電商包括阿里巴巴、京東、拼多多,都在此時提供豐厚的優惠回饋給消費者。
The shopping festival got its name as the main shopping day falls on Nov. 11 every year. Also known as 11.11 or Double 11, the numbers look like “bare branches”, an expression referring to those who are single and unattached in China. The day thus later became known as Singles' Day.
雙11購物節顧名思義,主要的購物活動集中在每年的11月11日,這天被稱為1111或雙11,而這個數字看起來像「光棍」,「光棍」一詞在中文裡,也指那些單身且未婚的人,因此這一天後來就被稱為「光棍節」。
To help merchants cope with the impact from the coronavirus, online platforms have extended the shopping festival period this year in hopes of boosting sales.
為了協助線上的商家處理新冠疫情的影響,今年的線上平台紛紛延長購物節的期限,希望能增加銷量。
單字補充
splurge (V.) 揮霍
shopping fest 購物節
extravaganza (N.) 盛宴、鋪張華麗的表演

[美國文化觀察]
川普前幾天說, 以後的移民要在移民美國時, 就要會說英文. 經濟學人這篇文章講的挺好: 其實移民移居美國後, 早晚都會說英文的.
在我身上其實也應證了這說法. 旅居美國十幾年, 雖然平常有跟此地的台灣同胞保持互動, 但因為身處在美語環境, 也為了生存下去, 所以我漸漸地習慣說英文, 聽英文歌, 看美國電視, 看原文書. 我也很清楚地意識到, 自己的母語(中文)能力在退化中. 所以我前幾年開始接英翻中的case, 而兩年前也開始藉著寫中文個股分析與開部落格來彌補這問題. 很多時候不是我故意在秀英文, 而是我真的不知道該用甚麼中文字來表達意思了, 或是我覺得用英文能夠更傳神地表達我的想法.
"Rather than refusing to learn English, today’s immigrants actually abandon their first language much more readily than previous generations. German, the language spoken by the president’s ancestors, is a case in point. Germans arrived in America in big waves in the middle of the 19th century. Generations later, they were still speaking German at home; a small number were even monolingual in German despite being born in America. Only with America’s entry into the first world war did German-speakers drop their suddenly unpopular language.
Today the typical pattern is that the arriving generation speaks little English, or learns it imperfectly; the first children born in America are bilingual, but English-dominant, and their children hardly speak the heritage language. This is as true of Hispanics as it is of speakers of smaller languages—and all without a lecture from the White House."
以下是全文:
DONALD TRUMP’s young administration is adept at one particular manoeuvre. Whenever the president is having a terrible time in the press, for some embarrassing statement, interview or imbroglio, the White House announces a far-reaching policy designed to stoke up his nationalist base while infuriating his opponents. In February it was the proposed ban on visitors from seven mainly Muslim countries. Last month it was the announcement on Twitter that he would not let transgender soldiers serve in the military.
In each case, the new policy tends to hurt people who can be portrayed as threatening outsiders to ordinary Americans who work hard and pay their taxes. Yesterday’s announcement to back a months-old plan to overhaul America’s immigration rules falls in the same category. If implemented, it would reward applicants with sought-after job skills who already speak English, at the expense of low-skilled workers without language skills.
This may seem perfectly sensible: after all, skilled immigrants are a good thing. But as an ongoing shortage of farm workers in California shows, unskilled immigrants are just as crucial. Equally, it is a good thing if immigrants speak English. But they need not speak it before arrival: as it is impossible to participate fully in American life without speaking English, the incentive to learn it quickly is overwhelming.
The administration’s emphasis on English skills therefore harks back to an old myth that the linguistic make-up of America, which has been an English-dominant country for a long time, is changing: that the status of English is somehow threatened, especially by Spanish, but more generally by the notion that English is no longer needed in the economy.
The myth goes something like this: today’s immigrants want to come to America to isolate themselves into communities that do not speak English. American policy tacitly encourages this by not being tough enough in requiring English. In the past, immigrants happily learned English quickly; “my grandpa came here from the old country but he refused to speak his old language; he insisted on getting by in his broken English until he was fluent.” But today’s immigrants no longer do so, as multiculturalism has replaced the melting pot.
All of this is wrong. America began as a thin band of English colonies clinging to the eastern coast, vastly outnumbered by speakers of other languages. The foreign-born percentage of the population peaked not last year—the administration likes to talk of “unprecedented” numbers—but in 1890, when the share of foreign-born residents was at an all-time high of 14.8%. This proportion has risen again after declining in the mid-20th century (it stood at 12.9% in the 2010 census). America today has multilingual big cities with their voting instructions in Korean, Chinese and Russian.
Historically, this is the norm rather than the exception: the years from 1925 to 1965, when immigration was almost completely cut off, were unusual. But those born from the 1940s to the 1960s became used to the low numbers of foreign-born residents, regarding this state as normal. That in turn supported a belief that America has always naturally belonged completely to English.
For most of its history, America was precisely the “polyglot boardinghouse” Teddy Roosevelt once worried it would become. That history has turned out very well not just for America, but for English—the most successful language in the history of the world. Along with American power, English has spread around the globe. At home, wave after wave after wave of immigrants to America have not only learned English but forgotten the languages their parents brought with them.
Rather than refusing to learn English, today’s immigrants actually abandon their first language much more readily than previous generations. German, the language spoken by the president’s ancestors, is a case in point. Germans arrived in America in big waves in the middle of the 19th century. Generations later, they were still speaking German at home; a small number were even monolingual in German despite being born in America. Only with America’s entry into the first world war did German-speakers drop their suddenly unpopular language.
Today the typical pattern is that the arriving generation speaks little English, or learns it imperfectly; the first children born in America are bilingual, but English-dominant, and their children hardly speak the heritage language. This is as true of Hispanics as it is of speakers of smaller languages—and all without a lecture from the White House.

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
When cold rain's falling from the sky
Will you stay by my side?
止まない雨に打たれ あなたは哭いていた
冷たいだけの詩に その瞳を逸らして
淡い夢に身を任せ 傍にいたかった
隠せない面影を手繰り寄せて 今 世界の隅で
Can you hear me now?
I'm here, alone 深く刺すほどに強くなれと願う
Hold my hand ただ描いたのは それぞれの道を選べる時
消えない炎の中で 季節は揺れていた
陽だまりに身を寄せた 春は過ぎ去って
深い夜の帳に堕ちる露が ただ白く煙る
And I'll figure out
なぜ 不確かな物ばかり 強く胸を焦がす
Cold rain まだ 拭えない正しさを 洗い流して If you're here…
Can you hear me now?
I'm here, alone 遠く雷鳴が強くなれと叫ぶ
Cold rain 今 白い雨が一輪の花を咲かせる時
花を咲かせるとき
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
遙遙天穹篩落冷冽雨
你是否能伴我身?
淋打著不止歇的夏雨,與淚水一同流落你的臉龐
你別過眼神,僅望向冷若冰霜的詩詞
妥身予朦朧幻夢,僅渴望你待我身旁
試圖在現處的世界一隅,憶起、追循,毫無掩飾的真摯神情
你能否聽見我的呼喊?
佇此,哪怕孤身一人,內心仍深切地渴望能夠更堅強
請你緊握我的手,但為此所描繪的是,彼此能夠選擇各自道路前行之時
永不熄滅的焰火之中,季節悄悄搖曳更迭
置身於烈陽之下,意覺春意闌珊
深夜帷幕之中降下的雨露,僅成縷縷白漫雲煙,飄散
我將持續探尋
為何,不確實的種種,使此心焦灼難安
只要你伴我身旁,哪怕是難以抹滅的正確,也任由冷冽的夏雨肆意洗刷一切
你能聽見我的聲音嗎?
我在這啊,即使形單影隻,響徹遠方的雷鳴卻彷彿正呼喊著堅強
冷冽的白雨,如今,正靜待著止歇,使花朵綻開時
待雨後繁花錦簇時
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
When cold rain's falling from the sky
Will you stay by my side?
Drenched by the unceasing rain, you were crying.
Looking away from the cold poem.
I gave myself to a faint dream, hoping you to stay by my side.
I'm hauling the expression that can't hide now, in the corner of the world.
Can you hear me now?
I'm here, alone. The deeper you stab, the more I hope to be stronger.
Hold my hand. The only thing I drew is nothing but the time when we can choose our own way.
Within the unstoppable flame, seasons were swaying.
The spring that depending on the sun has passed.
The dew that falls from the curtain of the deep night sky, looks nothing but misty white.
And I'll figure out.
The reason why these uncertain things strongly burn my heart.
Cold rain. Please rinse away the truth and correctness that still can't be wiped. If you're here…
Can you hear me now?
I'm here, alone. The distant thunder is roaring as if asking me to be stronger.
Cold rain, is now waiting for the time that the white rain to bloom the flower.
Waiting for the time flowers bloom.

研究了好多排氣管,最後還是決定選擇Triumph御用的尾段。這支聲音不吵,好聽,又能跟原廠閥門對應。這次後面收音不好,沒辦法發揮,就當賣個關子吧。After weeks of research, I finally chose the factory approved slip-on. It sounds great, not too obnoxious, and works with the factory exhaust solenoid.
