在美国点披萨的时候要这么说

屈联西

　1. PLAIN OR CHEESE?


　　1、原味还是芝士？


　　Plain meaning without toppings is New York-area vernacular while outside New York such a pizza would be referred to as cheese.


　　在纽约地区方言里，用plain(原味)一词表达不加馅料的披萨;纽约之外，说这种披萨则要用cheese(芝士)一词。


　　2. PIECE OR SLICE?


　　2、一块还是一片？


　　Speaking of slices, in New York you can say, "I'm getting a slice," and people will know what you're talking about. However, elsewhere "piece of pizza" is preferred, and if you say "slice," you'll need to qualify it with "of pizza."


　　说到是一片片的披萨(slices)，在纽约你可以说I'm getting a slice(我要片披萨)，大家就知道你什么意思了。但在其它地方，你要说piece of pizza(一片披萨)，你要是说slice(一片)的话，就要说清楚是“披萨”。


　　3. PIE OR PIZZA?


　　3、派还是披萨？


　　While to east coasters, it might feel perfectly natural to say "pie" when referring to a whole pizza, not so for those in other regions. &quotie" was described by west coasters as "pretentious" and "only something someone in a movie would say".


　　对于东边沿海地区人而言，谈到整个披萨时说pie(派)再自然不过了，但对于其它地区却不是这样。pie一词被西部沿海地区人称为“装腔作势”，而且是“只有电影里的人会这么说”。


　　4. PIZZA PARLOR, PIZZA SHOP, OR PIZZERIA?


　　4、披萨馆、比萨商店还是披萨餐馆？


　　Pizza place was the most popular, followed by pizza parlor and, a close third, pizzeria.


　　pizza place(披萨店儿)的说法最普遍，接着是pizza parlor(披萨馆)，紧随其后的是pizzeria(披萨餐馆)。


　　5. TIP SAG


　　5、披萨尖儿


　　Tip sag refers to when the tip of one's pizza slice droops down.


　　披萨尖儿指一片披萨顶端馅料掉下的地方。


　　6. CHICAGO-STYLE


　　6、芝加哥风味


　　Chicago does have its own thin-crust pizza -- described as crisp and crunchy like a cracker -- which, some say, is even more popular than deep dish or stuffed.


　　芝加哥风味也确实有薄脆款披萨，松脆有嚼劲，有如士力架一般;有些人说甚至要比要比深盘披萨和卷边芝加哥披萨更受欢迎。


　　7. PARTY-CUT OR PIE-CUT?


　　7、切成方格还是切成块？


　　Party-cut means cutting in a grid, while pie-cut means cutting in triangles or wedges.


　　party-cut(派对装)是指切成方格，而pie-cut(派式切法)是切成三角形或者稧形。


　　8. APIZZA


　　8、披萨薄饼


　　Perhaps less well-known, although no less delicious, is New Haven-style pizza, known in local vernacularas apizza.


　　纽黑文披萨也许没那么有名，但味道绝不逊色，方言里称之为apizza(披萨薄饼)。


　　9. OLD FORGE PIZZA


　　9、方形大披萨


　　The most popular varieties of the Old Forge are the red, a traditional tomato sauce and cheese; the white, hold the sauce; and the black, which has cheese, black pepper, black olives, and anchovies.


　　方形大披萨花样丰富，最受欢迎的是：红色大披萨，是传统的番茄酱和芝士;抹了酱的白色大披萨;黑色大披萨，上面有芝士、黑胡椒黑橄榄和凤尾鱼。


　　10. ALL-DRESSED PIZZA


　　10、盛装披萨


　　All-dressed is Montreal slang for "everything" on it. The all-dressed pizza comes with mushrooms, green peppers, and pepperoni, not literally "everything" but still a lot.


　　all-dressed(盛装)一词是蒙特利尔俚语，意为“应有尽有”。盛装披萨有蘑菇、青椒和意大利辣香肠，也不是“一应俱全”，但料也不少。
