说道饮食,就不得不提到饮食工具.例如,亚洲国家以筷子,勺子为主,欧美国家以刀叉为主.今天我要来比较一下亚洲代表饮食工具---筷子,在不同国家的特点.
首先,正如大家所知,韩国的筷子是用铝合金做成的.偏长,特点在于它是扁的.记得我刚来韩国的时候,用不习惯,现在好多了.
因为中国的筷子大部分是用木头做的.虽然长度跟韩国差不多,但是和韩国不同的是,中国的筷子是圆柱型的.刚开始使用的人会很不习惯.
最后再来讲日本的筷子.在中日韩三个国家里,日本人使用的筷子是最短的.一般有木头制成,圆柱形.

Answer 1

When it comes to diet, the tools should not be neglected. The Asian countries use chopsticks, spoons for instance, while the European nations mainly take knives and forks. Today I am going to compare the features of the typical diet tool in Asia: chopsticks.
Firstly, as is known, chopsticks in Korea are made of aluminium alloy. They are a little bit long, and they are pressed which is scarce in other countries. I still remember the unaccustomedness to this when I was in Korea earlier.
In China, mostly the chopsticks are wooden and they have the similar length with those in Korea . What is different is that the chopsticks in China are cylindrical which cause the unaccustomedness for the new users.
At last, we talk about the chopsticks in Japan. Among the three countries, Japan`s chopsticks are the shortest. Usually the are wooden and cylindrical.
“今天我要来比较一下亚洲代表饮食工具---筷子,在不同国家的特点.”
这句在句法上有错误,若直译,必定要导致译文结构庞大,最后只好舍弃“在不同国家”的意思,导致意义的流失.若想得到完整的意思,只能牺牲句子的工整和简洁,可译为“ Today I am going to compare the features among different countries of the typical diet tool in Asia : chopsticks. 正所谓鱼合熊掌,不可兼得啊.
希望你能满意!
