BBC駐北京記者 林慕蓮:
英國最經典的一道食品炸魚配薯條,終於在中國的首都北京安家落戶。與喝下午茶相比,炸魚配薯條在英國更受歡迎。儘管炸魚配薯條還不像愛爾蘭酒吧那樣在全球各地得到普及,不過BBC駐北京記者林慕蓮在她的來信中說,如果這道英國食品能在北京取得成功,那麼也許炸魚配薯條的名聲會徹底改變。 …….
fish chip。不過,網路上找不到資料。希望這不是台製的英語詞彙。
fish and chips noun [U]
fish covered with batter (= a mixture of flour, eggs and milk) and then fried and served with pieces of fried potato
《每日電訊報》刊登了中英兩國領導人喝啤酒的照片。在分享了炸魚和薯條之後,習近平問「鹽和醋在哪裏啊」?
