作为一个文化多元、富有的国家,美国拥有着丰富的历史文化和美食。在了解美国的历史和文化背景之前,我们先来探讨一下美国的美食与特产。美国的美食多样且风味独特,从汉堡包、热狗到炸鸡和披萨都是美国经典的快餐食品。
American cuisine was influenced by Europeans and Native Americans in its early history. Today, there are a number of foods that are commonly identified as American, such as hamburgers, hot dogs, potato chips, macaroni and cheese, and meat loaf. “As American as apple pie”, despite the dishes non-American origins, has come to mean something that is authentically American, according to the Smithsonian.
在美国,有个挺有意思的发现:美国人似乎对“辱美”这个词毫无概念。他们不仅拿总统的趣事开玩笑,吐槽政府的各项政策,还公开讨论美国历史上的不光彩片段。这让人好奇,为何美国人没有“家丑不可外扬”的想法,反而坦然地把这些“家丑”放到台面上?其实,这都得益于美国自由开放的社会氛围。
