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?

【英文 e-mail 開頭不該這樣寫】
晚安,你今天有用英文寫信嗎?
大家放心,這次不是 #罵罵浩
而是溫柔的 Sonny老師的翻譯&教學札記 登場
最近 Sonny 老師教學有感
跟我分享了台灣同學寫e-mail的常用錯誤
寫錯請自首繼續讀下去
Sonny老師整理了幾項
大家一起面對學習
—
雖然用中文寫 e-mail 時
我們開頭都習慣先說
冒昧來信打擾、抱歉打擾、若有打擾請見諒
但在英文 e-mail 裡
#一開頭就道歉 其實是件很奇怪的事
所以
Sorry to bother you
Sorry for disturbing
Sorry for any inconvenience
都是母語人士讀來會一頭霧水的用法
如果要表達 #客氣禮貌
建議大家使用 allow me to… 這個片語
例如:Allow me to begin by first wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year.
(請容我先祝您新年快樂、鴻運昌隆。)
此外
有些同學希望快點得到對方的答覆
就在結尾處寫了
Please reply as soon as possible.
以為加上 please 就會比較客氣
但這樣的寫法還是有些逼迫感
建議改成
Please reply at your earliest convenience.
(煩請您儘早回覆)
或
Please kindly advise.(敬請告知)
在寫正式 e-mail 的時候
用詞謹慎小心、步步為營
考慮對方閱讀的感受
才能留下好的第一印象
開啟後續的合作哦!

日本社會邊緣人的黑色幽默,有種“寄生上流”的既視感,但還好不是悲劇收場(有中文版)
“就在那個當下,我這輩子第一次感覺到成為社會機器的一份子。我告訴我自己:我得到重生了! 從那天開始我變成了社會中正常的一顆螺絲釘” -- 主角惠子,在便利店第一天上班的感受
“At that moment, for the first time ever, I felt I’d become a part in the machine of society. I’ve been reborn, I thought. That day, I actually became a normal cog in society.”
意外在Amazon上面買書,看到這本得獎的日本長篇小說,就決定突破同溫層看一看。非常短的書,我一個多小時就看完了。但實在不是我平常會看的種類,我完全猜不出結局。看完之後也不太曉得怎麼樣整理心得,只覺得後勁非常的強烈。
故事描述日本便利商店的種種,非常細緻,很有現場感。故事一開始,36歲未婚沒社交,一輩子都在便利商店打工的主角惠子,種種行為,讓我想到之前另一本描述亞斯柏格症的喜劇小說“The Rosie Project" 。但後來廢柴同事白羽出現後,那種憤世嫉俗的酸味,讀起來開始有點擔心。在他們為了讓外人覺得他們是“正常人”而居住在一起時,更是有種寄生上流的恐怖感 (但被惠子異於常人的反應平衡掉了)。在她一步一步把自己推向“正常”的過程中,那個熟悉的便利店場景,讓她毅然決定投入便利店的懷抱。
故事中描述惠子從小到大不了解人們的反應,以及家人朋友對她的擔心。一直以為妹妹都是支持她的,沒想到原來妹妹也一直想要“醫治她的不正常”。她的不解,與憤世嫉俗的白羽,形成鮮明的對比。她發現,妹妹對於她“正常”,但是有一堆問題,顯然比較開心,而不願意接受她“不正常卻安然自得”,至少“正常人”的種種扭曲,是人們比較可以理解與接受的。
每種文化的社會中,或多或少都有一些所謂“主流”、“正常”等等的標籤。這一本書的後勁,會讓你一直思考,人再社會化的過程當中到底有多少真正的自由,而人生的重大選擇有多少是受制於他人的眼光呢?

Cooking fried rice in a rice cooker is a game-changer for many because this means you neither have to cook rice way in advance nor wash multiple pots. Super awesome and convenient in my opinion.
You can also use multi cooker or instant pot to make this dish too. Try it.
See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.
