Unit6Food新编大学英语第二版第二册课文翻译

Unit 6 FoodFood and Culture[1] We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of foods are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating. When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it disgusting to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate food.[2] Some people in Africa think African termites make a delicious meal. Many other people would probably be sick if they had to eat termites, but one hundred grams of termites contain more than twice as many calories and almost twice as much protein as one hundred grams of cooked hamburger.[3] However, food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.[4] But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. Taboo is a word from the language of the Fiji Islands that is used to describe something that is forbidden. Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are not connected to a religion. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture. We may not even know why they are taboo. Anthropologists try to discover the hidden reasons for taboos. For example, the sacred cows of India are well known. Cows can go wherever they want to in the streets of India, and they can eat anything they want from the supplies of the foodsellers on the street. As a result, the cows are a problem. However, no one in India will kill them or eat them. It is taboo to do so. This custom seems strange to other people, but anthropologists believe that there are reasons for it. First, cows are valuable because the farmers need them to help plow their fields. Second, cow manure is used as a fertilizer on the fields. In India, many farmers cannot afford to spend money on fertilizer. Third, the cow manure can be dried and burned to make cooking fires. Therefore, farmers that kill their cows for meat soon find that they cannot plow or fertilize their fields or make a cooking fire.[5] Another example is that Americans do not eat dogs, although people from someother cultures regard them as good food. In the United States, dogs are very important to people as pets. They are usually regarded as part of the family, almost like a child in some cases. In addition, dogs have value as protection against criminals. Thieves will not usually enter a house where there is a dog because the dog will bark and possibly attack a stranger who is trying to get into a house. Apparently, the dog's place in society as a companion and as protection against criminals makes the dog taboo as food.[6] The taboo against eating pork occurs in more than one culture. There is some evidence that some ancient Egyptians did not eat pork. The ancient Israelites also regarded pork as taboo. One explanation for the pig-eating taboo is that pork that is not cooked sufficiently may spread a disease called trichinosis. However, most people no longer think that this is a good explanation for the pork taboo. Another explanation is that the Israelites were nomads—they were always moving from place to place. People have to stay in one place to raise pigs. The Israelites did not want to stay in one place because they did not want to change their culture. As a result, they did not eat pigs.[7] Anthropologists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. Some people live in areas where there are both large animals and many insects. It is difficult for these people to kill large animals, and it requires a lot of energy. It is easier for them to use insects for food because it is not difficult to catch insects and it does not require a lot of energy. Nomadic people who move around will not want to keep pigs for food. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and their meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.饮食与文化1 对于什么样的食物好吃，我们都有自己的主见。

Feminism
In the 1960s feminism (=the belief that women and men are equal in abilities and should have equal rights and opportunities) became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay. Since then the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced. However, the battle between feminist and traditional views of a woman’s role continues. It is widely accepted by younger people that women should, if they wish, be allowed to develop their careers and not give up work when they have a family.

bridge, Roebling positioned the road deck 36.6m (120ft) above the water. Stone towers, which rose to a height of 84.3m (276.5ft), made this high roadway possible and made the bridge the tallest structure in New York at its completion. The span from tower to tower of just over 486m (1,595ft) and the span between cable anchors of 1,054m (3,456ft) constituted a remarkable achievement. The Brooklyn Bridge in New York City perhaps best demonstrates the scale of building made possible by the rapid expansion of American industry and by American ambition. The expression selling the Brooklyn Bridge to somebody means tricking somebody in a deal.

The Jefferson National Expansion Memorial is the result of these goals. The design for the Gateway Arch itself, intended to be the centerpiece of the memorial, came out of an international competition in the late 1940s. Eero saarinen, a Finnish-American architect, provided the winning plan. The actual construction commenced on June 27, 1962 with the first pouring of what would ultimately be 26 000 tons of concrete for the bases of the two triangular legs. The final section of the structure was put into place almost exactly 40 months later, on October 28, 925.B) Questions:Question 1: What can we learn from the first paragraph?Question 2: How high is the Gateway Arch?Question 3: How can we get to the top of the Gateway Arch?Question 4: Where can you get a tram ticket?Question 5: How many days do the arch trams run every week?C) Summary:Summarize the basic information of the Gateway Arch.3.

Unit6Food新编大学英语第二版第二册课文翻译.pdf

Unit 6 FoodFood and Culture[1] We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good to eat. We also have ideasabout what kinds of foods are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often thinkthe foods that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating. When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it disgusting to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate food.[2] Some people in Africa think African termites make a delicious meal. Many otherpeople would probably be sick if they had to eat termites, but one hundred grams of termites contain more than twice as many calories and almost twice as much protein asone hundred grams of cooked hamburger.[3] However, food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.[4] But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. Insome cultures, certain foods are taboo. Taboo is a word from the language of the Fiji Islands that is used to describe something that is forbidden. Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are not connected to a religion.We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture. We may noteven know why they are taboo. Anthropologists try to discover the hidden reasons for taboos. For example, the sacred cows of India are well known. Cows can go wherever theywant to in the streets of India, and they can eat anything they want from the supplies ofthe foodsellers on the street. As a result, the cows are a problem. However, no one in India will kill them or eat them. It is taboo to do so. This custom seems strange to otherpeople, but anthropologists believe that there are reasons for it. First, cows are valuablebecause the farmers need them to help plow their fields. Second, cow manure is used as afertilizer on the fields. In India, many farmers cannot afford to spend money on fertilizer.Third, the cow manure can be dried and burned to make cooking fires. Therefore, farmersthat kill their cows for meat soon find that they cannot plow or fertilize their fields or make a cooking fire.[5] Another example is that Americans do not eat dogs, although people from someother cultures regard them as good food. In the United States, dogs are very important topeople as pets. They are usually regarded as part of the family, almost like a child in somecases. In addition, dogs have value as protection against criminals. Thieves will not usually enter a house where there is a dog because the dog will bark and possibly attack astranger who is trying to get into a house. Apparently, the dog's place in society as a companion and as protection against criminals makes the dog taboo as food.[6] The taboo against eating pork occurs in more than one culture. There is some evidence that some ancient Egyptians did not eat pork. The ancient Israelites also regarded pork as taboo. One explanation for the pig-eating taboo is that pork that is notcooked sufficiently may spread a disease called trichinosis. However, most people no longer think that this is a good explanation for the pork taboo. Another explanation is that the Israelites were nomads—they were always moving from place to place. People have to stay in one place to raise pigs. The Israelites did not want to stay in one place because they did not want to change their culture. As a result, they did not eat pigs.[7] Anthropologists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the waysof life of different people. Some people live in areas where there are both large animalsand many insects. It is difficult for these people to kill large animals, and it requires a lotof energy. It is easier for them to use insects for food because it is not difficult to catchinsects and it does not require a lot of energy. Nomadic people who move around will notwant to keep pigs for food. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot ofbeef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and their meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.饮食与文化1 对于什么样的食物好吃，我们都有自己的主见。

Unit6Food新编大学英语第二版第二册教案

Unit6Food新编⼤学英语第⼆版第⼆册教案Unit 6 FoodUseful InformationFood is a basic necessity, so every culture has important norms and customs related to it. Ever since they adopted settled lifestyles centuries or millennia ago, most cultures have emphasized daily meals in households or family units. Some members provide the food, some members prepare the food, and all members must eat. The providers and the preparers may not be the same, depending partly on gender roles and specialization. And the status of individuals in the eating process may not be the same, depending partly on their age and gender, and whether the household contains servants or guests. Servants rarely eat with others, while honored guests may be wined and dined like visiting royalty. Elders and males may also be treated ceremonially.Formal meals may take hours in some cultures or households, while in others people may eat hastily while traveling to their next destination on foot or by car. Some people eat while working or use eating as a form of recreation. In most cultures the feeding of friends, relatives, and others is a way of meeting, socializing, entertaining, and showing respect. Some cultures permit or encourage the use of alcoholic or caffeinated beverages with food, while others discourage or even prohibit this. Most cultures have food preferences and food taboos, so they find different ways to achieve balanced diets.Eating away from home in restaurants, taverns, inns, or hotels has long been an option in most cultures, but the variety of these choices is rapidly increasing today as the fast pace of modern life encourages more people to “eat on the run”. This also tends to blur the traditional distinction between providers and preparers of food, especially in families where both parents work full-time outside the home. In such cases both parents may eat out at noon, the children may eat at school, and anyone may pick up pizza or hamburgers on the way home or phone for pizza to be delivered. In the U.S., Chinese restaurants do a big take-out business and microwa ved “TV dinners” are very popular. Some busy families rarely eat formal meals together, even when they all eat at home. Refrigeration has also changed eating habits, and “raiding the refrigerator” is often a substitute for preparing meals. As eating habits have changed, table manners have tended to decline, though proper etiquette is still needed on formal occasions.Mealtimes differ considerably from culture to culture or from household to household. In agrarian cultures rural families tend to eat their first two meals earlier in the day, while in industrial cultures urban families often have them later. The time of the third meal depends on several factors such as whether there is a nap after lunch and whether food or beverages are typically consumed in the mid-to-late afternoon as snacks or social events.In some cultures “tea” in the afternoon is almost a fourth meal. Some people have their supper in the late afternoon or early evening, while others may have it in the mid-to-late evening. For some people the second meal of the day is the largest, while for others the third meal is the largest. This causes considerable confusion as to whether lunch or supper is more appropriately referred to as “dinner.” Further confusion is caused by people who skip brea kfast and others who prefer “brunch” instead. Brunch is especially popular on weekends, when it may last from mid-morning to early afternoon.The biggest recent change in eating habits and food-related lifestyles is the advent of fast food. This permits many people to eat conveniently away from home, or to bring food home to eat without having to prepare it. But it also makes family-style meals less likely to be, and it is not always very nutritious. The clever marketing of fast food such as McDonald’s ha mburgers and KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) may cause some youngsters to dislike their parents’ cooking and some college students to dislike the more nutritious food available on campus. Eating fast food while driving is also a cause of traffic accidents. So ciologist George Ritzer uses the metaphor of “McDonaldization” to criticize the entire cultural trend toward standardized pre-packaged products which can be quickly consumed. He claims the quality of life is diminished by what he calls the “McDonaldization of society,” and that we should voice our protest by eating in local “mom and pop” restaurants rather than patronizing national or international fast-food chains. Despite Ritzer’s advice, McDonald’s and other fast-food chains are probably here to stay. They are getting more similar to one another all the time, with hamburger chains offering chicken, chicken chains offering hamburgers, and all of them offering milk shakes and fries.Nutritionists have been warning that the typical fast-food diet is unhealthy if eaten too often. Consequently, some of the fast-food chains, such as McDonald’s, are now including healthier options for their customers along with the traditional hamburgers. Various healthy salads are now appearing on the menu boards, along with low fat salad dressing options. For children, fresh apple slices with a low fat caramel dipping sauce can now be chosen in the place of French fries in the children’s meal, and apple juice or low fat white and chocolate milk can be chosen instead of a cola. Bottled water also can now be purchased instead of a soft drink if one so chooses. Most people believe that this trend of healthier eating will continue.3) Differences between the British boy and a Chinese boy:A. The British boy eats a wider variety of things.B. The British boy eats much more than a Chinese boy.STEP TWOSamples1) Different DietsAt school:Student ABreakfast: two steamed rolls (or baozi), some porridgeLunch: rice, fish or meat, some vegetablesSupper: rice, fish or meat, some vegetables; noodles; or jiaozi (dumplings)Snacks during the day: an apple or a pear, some biscuitsStudent BBreakfast: a cup of milk, one boiled egg, some rice cakesLunch: rice, fish or meat, some vegetablesSupper: rice, fish or meat, some vegetables; noodles; or jiaozi (dumplings)Snacks during the day: some biscuits, cookies, or cakes, some preserved fruit.At home (for both):A much wider variety of foods like seafood, more snacks, more fruit, etc.2) Advice on the improvement of the diet:A. Student B should have some fruit every day; otherwise the lack of vitamin C may cause sickness.B. Student A should drink some milk every day, since milk provides certain minerals, vitamins, etc., which are necessary for a healthy body.C. Both students should add some variety in their diets, because different foods contain different nutrients the body needs. Besides, their diets at school and at home shouldn’t be too different.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesIn-Class ReadingI. Pre-ReadingSamples:1. ― I like fresh fruit, vegetables, pork, seafood, all kinds of nuts, etc.. I don’t l ike beef, lamb, chicken and pickles.― Although I’m not a vegetarian, I like vegetables and fruit most. I eat a lot of them. I also like seafood because I was born ina city on the coast. I’ve been exposed to seafood ever since my childhood. I don’t eat me at, any kind of meat.2. ― The reason why I eat certain foods or don’t eat certain foods is simple: taste. In other words, I eat what tastes good, and don’t eat what doesn’t. But there is one exception. I’ve never tried snake because I’m scared by the c reature. The mere mention of the word “snake” makes my skin crawl.― I think our eating habits were formed at home when we were very young. For example, my mother is an excellent cook, especially good at cooking seafood and vegetables. I ate a lot of them at home. Gradually I’ve become used to this diet.3. Yes. People in Guangzhou eat rats, snakes and many other birds or animals. It is said that they eat anything with 2 legs except human beings and anything with 4 legs except tables. Although it is an exaggeration, it shows they really eat a wide range of things. Many people think that’s strange because rats and snakes are nauseating. I also find eating raw fish strange, because I think raw fish contains a lot of bacteria.II. Passage ReadingWords, Phrases and Grammatical Points1. be sick (l.5), vomit, nauseate (l.3)“Be sick” can mean “feel ill as if one is going to vomit”.e.g. She was sick after she ate too much chocolate.Lucy felt sick (= felt likely to vomit) the morning after the party.Other uses include: airsick, carsick, seasick.“Nauseate” comes from the word “nausea” which means “a feeling of illness in the stomach, often making one feel as if one is going to vomit.” It’s a formal word and often used in passive form.e.g. He is nauseated by the smell of meat cooking.“Vomit” means “bring food or drink up from one’s stomach through one’s mouth, because one is sick.”In spoken English, “be sick” is more often used to mean “throw up all the contents in the stomach through the mouth” than “be generally ill”.e.g. If one eats too many sweets one will be sick.The more formal word in British and American English is “vomit”, and the less formal expression is “throw up”. Compare: be sick of … (=be very annoyed about…) 对……感到厌烦的e.g. I’m sick of the way you’re behaving.2. The term “sacred cow” (l. 23) is also used derogatorily to refer to an idea, practice, etc. that is so much accepted that not even the slightest doubts about it are allowed.e.g. I) The need for secrecy has become a kind of sacred cow.II) They did not dare to challenge the sacred cow of parliamentary democracy.2) ―When I see people eat things I don’t like, my first reaction is disgust. I just can’t understand how people can eat such nauseating things. Sometimes I feel that people are cruel when they eat some animals which are a help to human beings.―I don’t mind what other people prefer eating. People can have different likes and dislikes in different aspects. Nowadays a variety of foods are available in most places of the country and people can have a good choice. Many of us even enjoy foods from other countries. But we have to think about our environment as well as health before eating. Sars has already taught us a good lesson in eating.Vocabulary1. 1) common 2) appropriate 3) forbidden 4) supplies 5) related 6) evidence 7) requires 8) raise 9) spread 10) sufficiently2. 1) disgusting 2) habit 3) insects 4) reasonable 5)relatively6) animals 7) harvested 8) grow 9) nearly 10) other11) altogether 12) consumed 13) avoided 14) popular 15) offers16) served 17) would 18) enjoyed 19) considered 20) reject3. 1) G 2) F 3) B 4) C 5) H 6) E 7) I 8) D 9) A 10) JTranslation1.
