What is your favourite snack?
My favourite snack would have to be baozi, I think in English you would call them steamed buns or dumplings. They're delicious and best of all they're cheap!They are served all over the place so you can pick a bag up on-the-go and you can get all sorts of different fillings. My personal favourite is pork with white cabbage.
我最喜歡的小吃必須是包子,我覺得用英文你會(huì)叫它們“蒸面包”或者“餃子”。它們很美味而且的是它們很便宜!它們哪里都有賣所以你可以拿一個(gè)袋子帶走而且你能吃更種餡兒。我個(gè)人最喜歡的是豬肉白菜。
What kind of snack is popular in your country?
China has a wide range of snacks, some savoury and some sweet. I think they are very specific to our country and sometimes to the local region you are in. In Beijing the pastries from Daoxiangcun are very popular. They are eaten by locals, but are also bought as souvenirs by visitors.
中國(guó)有很多小吃,一些咸味的,一些甜味的。我覺得它們僅限于我們國(guó)家而且有時(shí)候是你在的本地區(qū)域。在北京稻香村的面點(diǎn)很受歡迎。它們是當(dāng)?shù)厝顺缘?,但也?huì)被游客當(dāng)做紀(jì)念品購(gòu)買。

When do you usually have snacks?
I tend to eat 3 main meals a day, but I also like to graze on snacks in between meals. I've gotten into the habit of having elevenses, which I picked up from a foreigner I used to work with. It usually involves a cup of tea or coffee, with a cake or some biscuits at around eleven AM.
我傾向于一天吃三次主餐,不過(guò)我也喜歡在飯間吃零食。我已經(jīng)養(yǎng)成習(xí)慣吃午前茶點(diǎn),這個(gè)習(xí)慣是我從以前一起工作過(guò)的一個(gè)外國(guó)人那里學(xué)來(lái)的。它通常需要一杯茶或咖啡,配著一個(gè)蛋糕或者一些餅干在大概上午11點(diǎn)的時(shí)候。
What are the benefits of having a snack?
I find that snacks perform different roles depending on when I have them. A mid-morning snack is an excuse for a little break and can be a bit of a pick me up if I'm feeling sleepy. A snack in the afternoon keeps my hunger at bay and helps tide me over till dinner.
我發(fā)現(xiàn)小吃扮演著不同的角色取決于我什么時(shí)候吃。半上午吃零食是小憩片刻的一個(gè)很好的理由,而且如果我有點(diǎn)困還可以起到一點(diǎn)提神的作用。下午的零食可以頂饑,幫我撐到晚餐。
Who prefer snacks, men or women/ the young or the old?
I think women wouldn't like to admit it, but they probably snack more than men. It isn't necessarily always snacks that are bad for you, I think they also eat more fruit between meals.As for the young or old, I think young people must snack more, partly because there are more snacks aimed at young people, but also because I think young people eat more than old people in general.
我覺得女人不會(huì)喜歡承認(rèn)這一點(diǎn),不過(guò)他們確實(shí)比男人吃更多的零食。零食不一定是對(duì)你有壞處,我覺得她們?cè)陲堥g吃的水果也更多。至于年輕人或者老年人,我覺得年輕人一定吃的多,一部分因?yàn)橛懈嗝闇?zhǔn)年輕人的零食,不過(guò)也因?yàn)槲矣X得年輕人總體來(lái)講比老年人吃的更多。
