Interviewer: Today our guest is Steve Fox.He’s here to talk about cultural influences on American food. Welcome, Steve!

Steve: Thank you. It's nice to be here.

Interviewer: When it comes to American food, some say no food was ever invented in America. What do you think?

Steve: Hmm., .That’s not really true. For example, some say the hamburger comes from Hamburg in Germany, but they’re wrong. The recipe for the meat in a hamburger may have come from Germany, but the final hamburger we know today was definitely created by Americans.

Interviewer: You mean there was a mixing of cultures? Food from overseas changed when it arrived in the States.

Steve: Right. And there are many more examples of mixed-culture dishes. Like nachos, for example.

Interviewer: Oh, I just love nachos! Mexican corn chips covered in cheese!

Steve: Yes, they’re delicious, but they’re not traditional Mexican food. The recipe was actually invented by a Mexican cook for his American customers. Then there are fortune cookies. ….

Interviewer: What do you mean?

Steve: They’re not Chinese.

Interviewer: You're kidding! But every Chinese restaurant in America has them!

Steve: Yes, but they’re unknown in China. About 100 years ago,someone in San Francisco put a piece of paper with a fortune on it inside a Japanese-style cookie, and the fortune cookie was born!

Interviewer: Wow! That/s interesting! Sothey’re like a mix of the Chinese, American, and Japanese cultures.

Steve: You got it. And then we have gumbo, the spicy stew. It was invented in New Orleans over 200 years ago, and mixes French, African, Native American, and Spanish cooking.

Interviewer: So it's the food of many different cultures, all in one dish?

Steve: Exactly. American cooking often mixes things from around the world to make something completely new.

Wednesday, 21 June

6月21日，星期三

Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. Ihave to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the cityagain. And what a city—a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906. There are so many beautiful old buildings—many sitting on top of bighills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

在红杉林露营并参观了纳帕谷酒乡后，今天是我回到旧金山的第一天。我得承认，再次回到城里的感觉实在是太棒了。多么神奇的一座城市啊——一座1906年大地震后重建的城市。这里有众多美丽的古建筑——不少坐落于大山之巅，城市、大海和金门大桥美景尽收眼底。

My hotel is near downtown, in the Mission District,one of the oldest parts of the city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district used to be a poor area of town, but is nowa centre for art, music, and food. In fact, an art movement called the“Mission School” started here. It’s influenced by graffiti art and comic art. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. It was quite modern and lively. Afterwards, I ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck. A real mix of cultures here!

我住的旅馆靠近市中心，位于教会区，这是旧金山最古老的街区之一。这里的许多居民来自墨西哥或中美洲。这个区过去是城里的一个贫困区域，而现在是艺术、音乐和美食中心。事实上，一场名为“教会派”的艺术运动就发源于此。这一运动深受涂鸦艺术和漫画艺术的影响。一连好几个小时，我四处走着，欣赏街头艺术。这些艺术十分现代，也很生动。随后，我吃了一份快餐车售卖的美味的墨西哥式中国面。这真是文化的交融啊!

In the afternoon, I headed to a local museum that showed the historical changes in California.I learnt that America got California from Mexico in 1848. In the same year, gold was discovered near San Francisco,which started a gold rush. Over 300,000 people came from all over the world to seek their fortune, and San Francisco quickly became a big city. Many Chinese arrived during this period. To earn a living,some opened up shops and restaurants in Chinatown. Many others found jobs on farms, joined the gold rush, or went to build the railway that joined California to the eastern region of the country. The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures. When these immigrants left their countries, they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built a new home here.

下午，我前往当地一家博物馆参观，博物馆展示了加利福尼亚的历史变迁。我了解到，1948年美国从墨西哥手中得到加利福尼亚。同年，旧金山附近发现黄金，引发了淘金热。世界各地30多万人蜂拥而至，在这里谋出路，旧金山迅速成为一座大都市。很多中国人也在这个时期来到此地。为了谋生，有些人在唐人街开商店、开餐馆。更多的人则在农场打工、加入淘金大军，或者参与修建加州通往美国东部的铁路。这家博物馆完美地展示了美国是如何由不同国家和文化的移民建设起来的。这些移民离开他们的祖国时，心中装着一片故土，最终在这里建立了新家园。

This evening, I went to Chinatown. There were so many cafés and restaurants to choose from. I selected a Cantonese restaurant that served its food on beautiful china plates. What great food!

今晚，我去了唐人街。这里有很多不错的咖啡馆和餐馆可供选择。我挑了一家粤菜馆，他们端出来的菜肴是放在精美的瓷盘子上的。太好吃了！

That’s enough for today. Tomorrow evening, I’m going to a jazz bar in the Richmond Distinct. Can’t wait!

今天就写到这里吧。明天晚上，我要去里上满区的一家爵士酒吧。我已经迫不及待了!

LISTENING PART 1

Justin: Hey, Wu Yue, do you know what kind of instrument these Miao performers are playing?

Wu Yue: Yes, it's called a lusheng, my favourite musical instrument.

Justin: It sounds beautiful. Is it made of bamboo?

u Yue: Yes. Can you guess when it was invented?

Justin: Um...five hundred years ago I can’t tell. I know China has a very long history.

wu Yue: That's a good guess, but the lusheng actually has a history of over 3,000 years. It's even mentioned in the oldest collection of Chinese poetry.

Justin: Wow, such a long time ago. There must be many beautiful songs.

wu Yue: Yes, indeed, and they all make me proud. You know, I'm a Miao, too, and I'm really proud of our culture. Look,the performers are performing the lushengdance. (music)

Justin: This is great! And I really like the silver accessories that the girls are wearing. What are they?

Wu Yue: Oh, they’re traditional hand-made accessories. I can help you buy some as souvenirs if you like.

Justin: Great, thanks! I hope they're not too expensive.

Wu Yue: Oh, well, it' ll depend on the percentage of silver.

LISTENING PART 2

(a few minuteslater)

Justin: Great, now I have my souvenirs. So where are we going next, Wu Yue?

Wu Yue: I’m taking you to Zhaoxing, a pretty Dong minority village. It's considered one of China’s most beautiful villages.

Justin: Great. I can't wait. There must be a lot to see.

Wu Yue: There is. First, I'll take you to see the beautiful drum towers, and then the wind and rain bridges. The Dongplay the lusheng, too. Perhaps you’ll see them perform the Grand Song of the Dong People.Believe me, you'll love it.

Justin: Wow. I’m really looking forward to it now.

WELCOME TO CHINATOWN!

唐人街欢迎您！

The Chinatown in San Francisco is the biggest in America, and also the oldest. It is a very popular tourist draw that receives more visitors each year than even the Golden Gate Bridge. The climate is mild all year round, meaning it is always a good time to visit.

旧金山的唐人街在全美规模最大、历史最为悠久，是一个非常受欢迎的旅游景点，每年接待的游客甚至比金门大桥还多。这里一年四季气候温和，这意味着任何时候都适宜来游览。

Historically, Chinese immigrants settled in the area during the railroad construction and gold rush period. What started as a residential area for Chinese immigrants then turned into a centre for Chinese culture. The majority of residents in Chinatown are still ethnic Chinese, many of whom do not speak English fluently. This allows visitors to experience a real taste of China.

历史上，，在修筑铁路和淘金热时期，来自中国的移民定居于此。这里原本是中国移民的居住地，后来变成一个中国文化中心。如今唐人街的绝大多数居民依旧是华人，他们中很多人英语说得并不流利，这能让游客体验到正宗的中国味。

Most of Chinatown was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, but the city and residents rebuilt it, taking care to include lots of Chinese architecture. Traditionally, visitors enter Chinatown through the legendary Dragon Gate, which was built using materials donated from China. Other famous sites include the Tin How Temple and Bank of Canton, to name but afew. Visitors can also spend hours just exploring the interesting sights,smells, and sounds of China. Ports mouth Square is also a key site, being the centre of Chinatown. It has a long and famous history, with the author RobertLouis Stevenson having spent much time writingthere. These days,the square is a great place to see traditional Chinese culture in real life,such as games of Chinese chess, and people practising tai chi.

唐人街的大部分建筑毁于1906年的大地震，但是市政府和居民将它重建，并且特地融人诸多中国建筑元素。传统上，游客从具有传奇色彩的龙门走入唐人街，龙门的建筑材料是由中国捐赠的。其他的著名景点还有天后古庙、广东银行等，不胜枚举。游客亦可花上数小时，一探此地的中国味道与美景声色。作为唐人街的中心，花园角广场也是一个重要景点。广场历史悠久，声名远扬，作家罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森曾长居于此进行创作。如今，花园角广场已经成为游客的一个好去处，可以欣赏现实生活里的中国传统文化，如中国象棋和打太极拳。

The stores in the Chinatown offer a unique range of souvenirs, goods, and clothing. All kinds of traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be found, too, and there are Chinese tea stores, where visitors can taste and buy varieties of Chinese tea.

唐人街的商店出售各式特色纪念品、货物和衣服。此外，各种各样的中草药也随处可见，还有中国茶叶商店，游客可以品尝和购买各种中国茶叶。

But perhaps what many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown is its food. There is Chinese food to suit everyone’s taste, with traditional dishes from all over China.

然而，很多游客和旧金山人最钟爱的或许是唐人街的美食。这里有着来自中国各地的传统菜肴，各种口味，应有尽有。

Chinatowns are an important part of the diverse culture of the USA. They allow visitors who have never been to China to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand.

唐人街是美国多元文化的一个重要组成部分，未曾踏足中国的游客可以在唐人街近距离感受中国传统文化。

World's Biggest Melting Pot

Narrator: In today’s global village,multiculturalism is normal. But one neighbourhood in particular claims to be one of the most diverse places in the world. Welcome to Queens, New York.

Man: How are you doing? What's happening? We’r eall immigrants. Who understands an immigrant better than an immigrant?

Narrator: Almost half of the population of Queens was born in another country. Its residents come from 100 different nations and they speak almost 150 different languages. No racial or ethnic group is a majority here. There may be other neighbourhoods with even more foreign-born residents, but only here do we find so many different cultures, nationalities and ethnicities all in one place.

Woman 1: I know that, you know, I’m from Madras, the southern part of India. My parents live there and my grandparents live there.

Woman 2: My mum’s from South Korea. And on my father’s side. I am German, Irish, English, and I think a little bit of Native American, but that part I’m not sure.

Woman 3: My great-grandfather was Puerto Rican and his parents were Puerto Rican and so on and so forth. So, as far as Iknow, we’ve always been Puerto Rican. And I feel connected to that and when I look in the mirror I see that and I see my grandmother and my great-grandmother. It's something that I cherish and it's something that I'm very protective of.

woman 4: So you have Eastern Europeans.You have Hispanics. You have Turkish. You have Arabic. I like that. I like that very much.

Narrator: A 2001 study measured diversity using a simple idea. How likely is it that two randomly selected people have different backgrounds? In their study, Queens scored highest in theUnited States. As the most diverse community in the most diverse country in the world, it's a fair claim. But even if there is no way to prove that it's the most diverse place in the world, Queens, New York, is a great example of a melting pot.
