Comfort food
治愈系食物
Whenever I feel lonely, I have a secret recipe that never fails: rice, milk and sugar, cooked low and slow. No matter how bad my mood is, that perfect combination is always enough to lift my spirits. Sometimes the smell alone can do the trick, not to mention the lovely creamy flavour, which works like a time machine immediately transporting me back to my sunny childhood.
每當(dāng)感到孤獨(dú)，我都有一個(gè)屢試不爽的秘方：大米、牛奶和糖，小火慢燉。不論我情緒有多差，這種絕妙的組合都足以令我振作。有時(shí)候僅僅聞一聞味兒就能奏效，更不要說(shuō)那美妙、滑膩的口感了，它像一臺(tái)時(shí)間機(jī)器，立即將我?guī)Щ貧g樂(lè)的童年。
With pleasure, I remember the lazy Sunday afternoons I used to spend in the warmth of my grandma’s flat, listening to her wonderful stories and greedily eating bowl after bowl of her delicious rice pudding. I take my time over every spoonful, gently rolling the silky dessert around my mouth and enjoying the perfect marriage of rice and milk. Before I know it, I’m happy again.
欣欣然，我回憶起那些慵懶的周日午后，那時(shí)我常常是在外婆溫暖的公寓里，一邊聽(tīng)她講著那些精彩的故事，一邊一碗接一碗貪婪地吃著她做的美味的大米布丁。我細(xì)細(xì)品嘗每一勺，讓滑膩的甜點(diǎn)在我口中輕輕翻轉(zhuǎn)，享受米糊和牛奶的完美融合。不知不覺(jué)中，我便又開(kāi)心起來(lái)了。
My experience with rice pudding illustrates the unique power of “comfort food”. In its broadest sense, comfort food refers to any food that makes us feel better. In this article, we will talk about a particular type of comfort food whose power mainly lies in the associations it calls to mind. It often makes up for bad feelings by helping us recall happy memories of the people, things or places we love.
我關(guān)于大米布丁的經(jīng)歷說(shuō)明了“治愈系食物”的獨(dú)特力量。從廣義上說(shuō)，治愈系食物指的是任何能改善我們心情的食物。在本文里，我們要特別講一類治愈系食物，它的力量主要在于它所喚起的聯(lián)想。它常常通過(guò)幫我們回憶起所愛(ài)之人、所愛(ài)之物、所愛(ài)之地的快樂(lè)往事，來(lái)消解不良情緒。
Our comfort foods are highly individual. They vary from person to person, depending on our own unique experiences that have shaped our lives. If we grow up eating certain foods in our family, then those foods tend to be linked with positive emotions. For example, we often connect chicken soup with a happy childhood and its flavour becomes tied up with the feeling of being taken care of. When we eat it again, we unlock memories of a time when we were loved and looked after, and this cheers us up.
治愈系食物相當(dāng)個(gè)性化。它們由塑造我們?nèi)松莫?dú)特經(jīng)歷決定，因人而異。如果我們從小在家就吃某些特定的食物，這些食物就很容易與積極的情緒產(chǎn)生關(guān)聯(lián)。比如，我們經(jīng)常把雞湯與快樂(lè)的童年聯(lián)系在一起，它的味道與被關(guān)愛(ài)的感覺(jué)相關(guān)。當(dāng)再次喝到雞湯時(shí)，我們解鎖記憶，回想起受到疼愛(ài)與關(guān)懷的時(shí)光，這就會(huì)讓我們的情緒變好。
The feeling of happiness and sense of belonging can become particularly important for people who move away from their home country. According to some food experts, there are some aspects of culture that people will lose right away, but with food, there are more opportunities to connect to memory, family and place. It is hardest to give up the food that you grow up with.
這種幸福感與歸屬感對(duì)于離開(kāi)故國(guó)的人而言會(huì)變得尤其重要。據(jù)一些食物專家所言，文化中的某些方面人們很快會(huì)失去，但對(duì)于食物，則有更多機(jī)會(huì)與回憶、與家、與處所關(guān)聯(lián)。從小吃到大的食物最難割舍。
Of course, each person’s comfort food largely depends on where they come from—for a Chinese it might be a plate of dumplings with a saucer of vinegar, and for a native of the UK it might be the classic fish and chips, served hot, salty and sour. One mouthful of comfort food takes us back to our cultural roots, giving us the “taste of home” that we cry out for and relieving feelings of homesickness.
當(dāng)然，每個(gè)人的治愈系食物（是什么）很大程度上取決于他們來(lái)自何方—對(duì)一個(gè)中國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)，可能是一盤(pán)餃子配上一碟醋；而對(duì)一個(gè)土生土長(zhǎng)的英國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)，則可能是經(jīng)典的炸魚(yú)薯?xiàng)l，熱騰騰地端上來(lái)，咸中帶酸。一口治愈系食物帶我們回到自己文化的根，帶來(lái)我們渴望的“家的味道”，讓我們一解懷鄉(xiāng)之情。
That’s certainly true for fort food tastes good and by building an emotional bond with our happy memories, always makes us feel good. It isn’t just a bowl of noodles or chicken soup. It’s food for the soul.
對(duì)我而言，的確如此。治愈系食物味道可口，通過(guò)與我們快樂(lè)的回憶之間建立情感聯(lián)系，它總是讓我們心情不錯(cuò)。它不僅僅是一碗面條或雞湯，它是心靈的食糧。
