科尼斯.洛认为中国人有着从几千年
从几千年文化中沉淀的深度。例如在在伦敦 开饭店的董福就多用孔子的思想来理解饮 食。圣者言食物是人生最大的幸福。董福 还说食物被中国人认为是一件极其快乐的 事情，因为它需要提前准备和爱的墩，然 后大花时间吃的尽兴。
Lo observes that when Westerners go to a restaurant they ask for a good table, which means a good position from which to see and be seen. They are usually there to be entertained socially--and also, incidentally, to eat. When the Chinese go to a restaurant, however, they ask for a small room with plain walls where they cannot be seen except by the member of their own party, where jackets can come off and they can proceed with the serious business which brought them there. The Chinese intentions are both honorable and whole-hearted: to eat with a capital E.

• Fu Tong adds: “Food to my countrymen is one of the ecstasies of life, to be thought about in advance; to be smothered with loving care throughout its preparation; and to have time lavished on it in the final pleasure of eating.”
• 这是一个中国人经常问的问题。但是西方 人却很难做答。许多西方人是美食家，还 有其他一些是暴饮暴食者，而且混与这二 者之间的是一些对于流进肚子里的食品漠 不关心。这些人或许会问，吃一个汉堡， 喝点可口可乐就会成为圣人或罪人吗？对 于他们来说，食物就是一种能量
•
Kenneth Lo, however, expresses a point of view that is profoundly different and typically Chinese, deriving from thousands of years of tradition. The London restaurateur Fu Tong, for example, quotes no less an authority than Confucius ( the ancient sage known in Chinese as K’ung-FuTzu) with regard to the primal importance of food. Food, said the sage, is the first happiness.
•
This is an easy question for a Chinese to ask, but a Westerner might find it difficult to answer. Many people in the West are gourmets and others are gluttons, but scattered among them also is a large number of people who are apparently pretty indifferent to what goes into their stomachs, and so do not regard food as having any ultimate moral effect on them.

Warm-up Question1
• 中国食文化最早的理论基础 : • “民以食为天” -- 《汉书．郦食其传》，云：
“王者以民为天，而民以食为天。” • “食、色，性也。” –《孟子·告子上》
• 在古代，国家、江山被说成“社稷”，而这个 “稷”在古代有的书上说是黍类，有的书上说是 谷类，总之是一种粮食。古代一直以稷为百谷之 王，所以帝王都奉祀“稷”为谷神，进而以此指 代国家。
Kenneth Lo
• Famous for his cookery books, pioneering restaurateur
• Opened Memories of China on London's Ebury Street in 1981, which introduced dishes from outside Canton.

一个典型中国人的观点是：吃是第一乐事。中国人非常 重视吃，许多人还把它看成人生至乐之一。这里有一个很 有趣的例子，它说明了西方人和中国人对待吃的不同态度。 西方人上餐馆时，最关心的往往是找一张好餐桌，更确切 的说，找一个可以看见别人，也能让人看见的好位置。然 而，中国人上餐馆时则喜欢找一个不为外人所见的小包间。 这种差异的原因在于，前者在用餐时由于有社会交流而感 到惬意，而后者则主要从品尝食物中得到快乐。
?正是西方这种对感官享受需求的增长和从积习中解放出来的渴望再加上那个中餐本身注重色香味的概念中餐总是能很快满足味蕾成为中餐突然迅猛地在偌大西方世界所向披靡的根本原因

Decide which of the following best states the main idea of the passage.B(This essay is by and large an illustration of a proposition raised by Kenneth Lo thatfood will determine one's physical strength and ultimately one's spiritual and moral fiber and well-being. Its aim and conclusion rest with the philosophy expressed in Chinese food.)II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1.T (Refer to Paragraph 1.)2. T (Refer to Paragraph 2.)3. T (Refer to Paragraph 6.)4. F (Refer to Paragraph 7. According to Helen Burke, the cooking itself takes only 10% of the actual preparation but it is not a simple matter as indicated by the percentage of time it consumes.)5. T (Refer to Paragraph 9.)III. Answer the following questions.1.Food and eating, according to Kenneth Lo, determines not only one's physical healthbut also one's spiritual and moral soundness and his ultimate well-being.2. Refer to Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4. According to the author, many people in the West are gourmets and gluttons, while a large number of others are pretty indifferent to food. On the contrary, Fu Tong, a London restaurateur, maintains that to Chinese people food is of primary importance and is one of the ecstasies of life. Also, when they go to a restaurant, Westerners care more about the table than the food, while the Chinese aim to eat with a capital E, or take the food with the utmost earnest.3. Refer to Paragraph 5. Literally, Chinese food is ubiquitous. Chinese restaurants have sprung up almost everywhere in the world. At the root of the phenomenal rise of Chinese food in the world is a strong interest in Chinese food in the West. There is an increase in sensuality in the Western world and coincidentally Chinese food is very sensual in its combination of color, texture and taste.4. Refer to Paragraphs 7 and 8. For Chinese people, the traditional high-quality Chinese meal is a serious matter. It is fastidiously prepared and fastidiously enjoyed.

Refer to Paragraph 9. A good traditional Chinese meal must be well planned and balanced in order to meet the demand of the palate and the eye alike. So, according to Emily Hahn, there is moral excellence in good cooking, which implies the combination of all life, all action and all knowledge. So important is a meal that it is not simply the product of a recipe; it expresses the basic assumptions of life, among which is harmony and balance.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.1.Food to us Chinese is one of the greatest joys in life: it is thought about before being prepared; it is treated with lots of love and care while being prepared; and when it is ready, a great deal of time is devoted to enjoying it.2. The main reason for the sudden and tremendous popularity of Chinese food throughout the whole Western world lies in two facts: one is the increased desire for sensual pleasures (which is abundant in Chinese food) and freedom from age-old customs in the West; the other is the notion of physical pleasure provided by Chinese food, which is always ready to satisfy the taste of the eater.Structural analysis of the textParagraphs 7-9 constitute the third part of the text.Paragraph 7: The traditional quality Chinese meal is a serious matter, fastidiously prepared and fastidiously enjoyed.Paragraph 8: The enjoyment must match the preparation.Paragraph 9: The smooth harmonies and piquant contrasts in Chinese food are an expression of basic assumptions about life itself.Rhetorical features of the text1.

Improve the following sentences by using appositive clauses.1.Our word tobacco comes from the Spanish word tobaco, a word which means cigarin the Arawak Indian language. (An appositive may repeat a noun for the sake of clarity and emphasis.)2. Columbus's crew was astonished to find the Arawaks puffing on huge cigars in Hispaniola, an island which is now divided between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.3. The cigars were made from Nicotiana tobacum, a hybrid of two wild plants first grown in Peru and Bolivia.4. This tobacco from Hispaniola was not the kind smoked by the other Indians of North America, habitual users of tobacco, also.5. This second and much more widely used kind of tobacco was Nicotiana rustica, a hybrid that is native only to the western slopes of the Andes.6. From here its cultivation and use spread into North America at about the same time as the cultivation of maize, a staple grain crop.7. Archaeologists find the first pipes among Indian artifacts at the level that they find the first evidence of maize cultivation, a fact which suggests that the Indians learned to smoke and to grow corn at the same time.8. This tobacco was so strong that the Algonkians mixed it with sumac leaves and the inner bark of the dogwood and called it kinnikinnik, a word meaning hat which ismixed.9. Most Indians favoured pipes, some ate tobacco leaves, some drank tobacco, and still others preferred cigarettes, shredded tobacco wrapped in corn husks.10. Drinking tobacco became popular in Elizabethan England after 1565, the year the leaf was first imported from the West Indies.III.

McArthurGlobal ReadingI. Text AnalysisThis article, which is written by a foreigner, provides us with a foreign perspective to examine our culture, though on a seemingly trivial aspect — our food. But all elements of a culture are actually of equal significance, so any of them can serve as a stand we set our first step on. If you haven’t started your journey to discover your own culture, then let yourself be pushed by this article and take it as your first step. At the end of this journey, you may either love your culture more, or less, but one thing is sure, that your feeling toward your culture will be more real and will be based upon a much broadened view.II. Structural AnalysisThis text can be divided into three parts:Paragraphs 1-4: The first part discusses the difference in Chinese and Western attitudes towards food.Paragraphs 5-6: The second part explains how Chinese food has become an international food.Paragraphs 7-9: The third part elaborates on the nature of Chinese food.The topic sentence of Paragraphs 7-9:Paragraph 7: The traditional high-quality Chinese meal is a serious matter, fastidiously prepared and fastidiously enjoyed.Paragraph 8: The enjoyment must match the preparation.Paragraph 9: The smooth harmonies and piquant contrasts in Chinese food are an expression of basic assumptions about life itself.Ⅲ. Rhetorical FeaturesIn this essay, alliteration is utilized here and there. Here are some examples: “Many people in the West are gourmets and others are g luttons, …”; “… to making you a saint or a s inner?”; “…everywhere from Hong Kong to Honolulu to Ho boken to Hudderfield.” The underlined parts show repetition of the first sound or letter of a succession of words, which helps to convey a sort of melodious quality, thus making those words sound more pleasing and impressive.Other examples of alliteration in the essay:1. “… all these have become much more a part and p arcel of the average person’s life…”(Paragraph 6)2. “Meat and fish, solids and soups, sweet and sour sauces, …” (Paragraph 8)Detailed ReadingQuestions1. How important is food and eating, according to Kenneth Lo? (Paragraph 1)Food and eating, according to Kenneth Lo, determines not only one’s physical health but also one’s spiritual and moral soundness and his ultimate well-being.2. How do the Chinese and westerners differ in their attitudes towards food? (Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4)According to the author, many people in the West are gourmets and others are gluttons, while a large number of them are pretty indifferent to food. On the other hand, Fu Tong, a London restaurateur, maintains that food is of primary importance and one of the ecstasies of life. When they go to a restaurant, Westerners care more about the table than the food, while the Chinese aims to eat with a capital E, or take the food with the utmost earnest.3. Why does the author say that Chinese food is the only truly international food? (Paragraph 5)Literally, Chinese food is ubiquitous. Chinese restaurants have sprung up almost everywhere in the world. At the root of the phenomenal rise of Chinese food in the world, there is a strong interest in Chinese food in the West. There is an increase in the sensuality in the Western world and coincidentally, Chinese food is very sensual in its combination of color, texture and taste.4. Why does the author compare a proper Chinese meal to a religious ceremony? (Paragraphs 7 and 8)For the Chinese people, the traditional high-quality Chinese meal is a serious matter. It is fastidiously prepared and fastidiously enjoyed. Both the preparation and enjoyment of a Chinese meal can last hours and make a shared experience which is well planned. The meals must not only meet the challenge of the palate but also that of the eyes.5. How does Chinese food express the basic assumptions of life? (Paragraph 9)A good traditional Chinese meal must be well planned and balanced in order to meet thedemand of the palate and the eyes alike. So, according to Emily Hahn, there is moral excellence in good cooking, which implies the combination of all life, all action and all knowledge. So important is a meal that it does not mean the product of recipe itself; it express the basic assumption of life one of which is harmony and balance.Text IIChinese Food in AmericaCorinna LotharLead-in QuestionsWhat are the most popular Chinese dishes among foreign visitors as far as you know?

She joined the Times in 2001, one anda half years after graduating from Harvard. Lee was not given a middle name at birthand chose her own middle name later.She chose "8" as a teenager because of the prevalence of her first name.It was in her teen years that she also began a life-long obsession with food. For many Chinese, the number eight symbolizes prosperity and good luck. Lee wrote a book about the history of Chinese food in the USA and around the world, titled The Fortune Cookie Chronicles,documenting the process on her blog. Warner Books editor Jonathan Karp struck a deal with Lee to write a book about "how Chinese food is more all-American than apple pie."3.Powerball lottery (Paragraph 2) Powerball is an American lottery game soldthrough U.S. lotteries as a shared jackpot pool game.

General Tso's chicken is a sweet and spicy deep-fried chicken dish that is popularly served in American and Canadian Chinese restaurants where it is erroneously considered Hunan cuisine.The origins of the dish are unclear. The dish was previously largely unknown in China. Thus, General Tso's Chicken is most likely an American invention in the history of American-Chinese food.5.Colonel Sanders(Paragraph 4) Colonel Harland Sanders, (1890-1980), was anAmerican entrepreneur who founded Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). His image is omnipresent in the chain's advertising and packaging, and his name is sometimes used as a synonym for the KFC product or restaurant itself.6.“waves of Chinese continued to wash up on the shores”(Paragraph 7)Chinese immigrants arrived in the US in large numbers beginning with the mid-19th century worked as laborers, particularly on the transcontinental railroad, such as the Central Pacific Railroad, and the mining industry, and suffered racial discrimination for a long time.7.The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882(Paragraph 7) The Chinese Exclusion Actwas a United States federal law passed on May 6, 1882, following revisions made in 1880 to the Burlingame Treaty of 1868.

Thisis because it relates to the kosher dietary law. They are safe to consume and sometimes used as ingredients to produce additional food items. Previously, most kosher foods were made in the family kitchen or in a store or small factory in the community. At that time, it was simple to know if the product was kosher or not.Sometimes, even rabbis used to supervise the purity of the product.Questions for Discussion1．How can the reader understand and enjoy “a delicious sense of humor and irony” of Jennifer 8. Lee ?2. Why do the stories Miss Lee gleaned and spread sound so convincing?3. What is one possible philosophical notion that helps to constitute the driving force in developing Chinese food in America?4. What is the fact used to tell the reader that Jews in America like Chinese food?Key to Questions for Discussion1. In her “Fortune Cookie Chronicles,” subtitled “Adventures in the World of Chinese Food,”Jennifer 8. Lee writes with humor and irony and “delights the reader with tales about Chinese food in America, and its sometimes hilarious origins”, which is really delicious. In addition, Miss Lee adds a social and cultural dimension to the Chinese-American cuisine, seasoning it well with personal anecdotes, which is also delicious. “A delicious sense of humor and irony” may be interpreted as a sort of “transferred epithet”.2. The stories Miss Lee gleaned and spread are not fairy-tales, fictitious or improbable stories, but true stories based on first hand experiences “over hill and dale, ocean and mountain,from town to village” throughout the United States, China, and Europe. That’s why they sound so convincing.3. One possible philosophical notion that helps to constitute the driving force in developing Chinese food in America is the strong desire to adapt and incorporate Chinese cooking, principally its indigenous ingredients and cooking techniques, to local tastes and ingredients.4. In Kaifeng, China, when asked why Jews in America were so fond of Chinese food, an old Jewish woman answered, “Because Chinese food tastes good.”Memorable QuotesTell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.—Anthelme Brillat-SavarinI do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to bestuffed.
