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?

#買平書攻略找數post
盟友💞昨天說好的 #買平書攻略,現在才有時間整理😅😅
🦠疫情下,我呢個圖書館常客都要諗計🤔(連圖書館管理員過往都揶揄我隔天去借📙)
#BookDepository 同 #Blackwells 都訂過了,不過D書好似遊勻五湖四海先送到,快者兩星期,慢者個半月都試過😰,唯一好處是 #免運費
轉陣喇⚠️阿媽心急㗎嘛🌪🌪🔥🔥以下是結合自己最近買書心得,又平又快大家可指教😉🤔
1️⃣ 咖喱屁屁偵探🍛,今天新鮮熱辣♨️收到,早前所有屁屁🍑都睇曬了,唯獨呢間可平郵$14,又不用搭全系列買,抵 蘋果樹圖書 Apple Tree Books
2️⃣ WorldBookDay $100/10本,早前提過$10 本 Dogman 就是呢間,也是今日收到♨️即使加$30 運費送到上門,不貴喇,出街口罩也慳返
https://www.facebook.com/hkreadingplus/
3️⃣RoaldDahl Collection Full Set 16本 $218,全黑白書,油墨質素ok, 暫時還要親子伴讀,不過成套Box Set 我應承隻女會留直到六年級,希望佢再大啲都會自己自動自覺拿出來看,學到 Roald Dahl 一成嘅adjectives 功力,嘩! 都不得了! 唔知今年十月Anne Hathaway 嘅 《The Witches 》有冇機會上畫🎞😢 https://www.facebook.com/levelupstorehk/
4️⃣ Dog Man 中文版,疫情下你會發現中文書難買過英文書,有次見到 小皇冠童書館 在 HKTVmall 做特價,三本中文版Dogman 8 折完再9折 ,咁訂埋其他野就免運費,仲唔係最抵 🥳
https://www.hktvmall.com/p/H7063001_S_9789882166066
5️⃣ 中文書仲有呢間,$100/5 本😱😱😱😱😱
好離譜 https://www.hktvmall.com/p/H6735001_S_C01446
又係 #HKTVMall 夾夠數又係免運費
6️⃣ Nat Geo Kids 🌍系列 $199/22 本,呢套Level 3 , 由鯨魚🐳到和理非代表馬丁路德金🗳都有覆蓋,雖然有人投訴書內沒QRCode導聽之類,不過 $9 /本,我之前在 #BD 買了其中的一本 #Titanic ,要成$38 本,我真係血都吐埋😩
https://www.hktvmall.com/p/H6868001_S_NG0001-L3
都係 #HKTVMall 夾夠數又係免運費
#閲讀 無捷徑,天天讀,營造家中圖書閣加強閱讀氣氛,我個人經驗係K3 上小一係一個轉捩點🤟🏻 成為小學雞後,隻女竟然嫌棄以前看的公主👸🏻書,以前我以為佢打死不會看的黑白書 (如3️⃣ RoaldDahl) 卻看得津津有味,中文也開始看橋樑書😄,由繪本過渡去橋樑書要時間,就如學游水,不能操之過急,唔通第一堂就學游50 米咩🏊♀️,係咪? 😂😂😂😂
#停課不停學
#而我不是育兒KOL
#辭彙呢家野睇得書多佢哋自然會拋出來
#媽咪唔好買衫啦買書喇
#非廣告

Think Different 、《The Sense of Style》
前一則英文教授投書賴揆的文章,指出政府文宣不知所云的破英文(如Taiwan Ask Us),引起網友討論,一位說:
英文的簡短廣告詞或口號,本來就無需太在乎文法,如Apple的「Think Different」就是著名的明知文法錯誤依然爲求簡潔而推出的口號。
這一點,我已回應,不過我覺得,認爲「Think Different」錯誤的人,包括以英語為母語在內的人多著,何況非母語者的我們。很值得深入探究。
還好,拜蘋果之賜,這問題夠有名,讓《語言本能》(The Language Instinct)的作者Steven Pinker注意到了。他幾年前出版了一本英文寫作指南,The Sense of Style(中譯:寫作風格的意識),討論到這個現象,並從語言學角度提供解答:
// A failure to appreciate the multiple functions of adjectives also gave rise to the false accusation that Apple made a grammatical error in its slogan Think Different. The company was right not to revise it to Think Differently: the verb think can take an adjectival complement which refers to the nature of the thoughts being entertained. That is why Texans think big (not largely) and why in the musical Funny Face the advertising slogan that set off a lavish production number was Think Pink, not Think Pinkly.
未能體會到形容詞的多種作用,也引來了對蘋果公司(Apple)的錯誤指責,指稱宣傳口號 Think Different (不同凡想)語法不對。公司方面沒把它改為 Think Differently 是正確的:動詞 think 可以帶形容詞補語,指出所想事物的性質。這就是為什麼說德州人 think big (往大處想),為什麼歌舞片「甜姐兒」(Funny Face)中掀動歌舞大場面的廣告口號是 Think Pink (想想粉紅)而不是 Think Pinkly. // (江先聲 譯)
我大力推薦The Sense of Style的原文。這書先禮後兵,舉證歷歷,把Strunk & White那本被英文老師視爲聖經的The Elements of Style打得落花流水。(但我對中譯版的整體翻譯品質失望,行文很多地方不像中文,也已發現不少值得商榷的翻譯問題。反之,英文原文寫得清晰流暢,充滿平克式的風格。)
