Li: Hi, I'm Li. Welcome to On the Town from BBC UKChina.com
Will: And I'm William. And I am especially proud to be British today, Li.
Li: How wonderful! 可是為什么今天你為自己是英國人而特別自豪, Will?
Will: Because I am convinced that British cuisine is one of the best in the world, Li! The town that we're talking about today is Manchester, in the north of England. They have just opened an exhibition celebrating the Great British Pie! There's something truly British about eating pies. Whether they're served up with chips, or enjoyed at a football ground with a plastic fork.
It can go right back to the Egyptians, the Romans, the Normans and all the different areas from where pies came about because of the pasty itself.
Tom Bridge, the author of a book called "Pie Society"
Li: Well, 曼徹斯特正在舉行的餡餅大展對宣傳英國餡兒餅肯定是很有幫助了。不過餡餅也不是英國獨有，其他國家也有啊。
Will: Well, let's hear Tom Bridge, the author of a book called "Pie Society". See if you can identify some of the civilisations that also had a pie-eating culture.
It can go right back to the Egyptians, the Romans, the Normans and all the different areas from where pies came about because of the pastry itself, when you think about it. It held in all the wonderful flavours that were needed to actually make what they call the perfect pie.
Li: So all these 古代文明 ancient civilisations like 埃及人，羅馬人和諾曼人 不也都有各自的餡餅嗎！…
People with a sweet tooth might enjoy fruit pies
Will: … but none of them produced a dish with all of the wonderful flavours of the classic British pie!
Li: …wonderful flavours 誘人可口的味道 …
Will: Let's hear what BBC reporter Richard Stead had to say after a visit to the exhibition in Manchester. And those of you who like cooking, listen out for the main ingredients that we put in pies.
The delicacy truly baked itself into the national conscience in the working class communities of the north of England. The exhibition also celebrates the huge variety of crust and fillings which can be found. There's shortcrust or flaky pastry. Then there's the savoury fillings of meat and potato, cheese and onion or steak and kidney. For those with a sweet tooth, there's the fruit pie.
Will: He calls British pies a delicacy.
Li: 如果說餡餅是英國的美味食品。那中國的美味品可是數(shù)不勝數(shù)了 lots of delicacies. 中國人也會做餡餅，只不過是用油煎而不是放在烤箱里去烘烤的。
Will: Yes, and he mentioned the fillings. Did you pay attention, Li?
Li: Yes!
Will: You should write it down because you keep inviting me to dinner!

Richard Stead, BBC reporter
Li: Yes, 他提到的英國餡餅有咸有甜。其中咸味兒的有肉餡餅和土豆餡餅...meat and potato.
Will: And cheese and onion…
Li: … 還有就是奶酪和洋蔥餡餅…
Will: … and steak and kidney...
Li: … 牛排和腰子餡兒餅, this is very British, isn't it? 前面的記者還提到了 sweet tooth. 這又是什么餡餅?zāi)? Another flavour, Will?
Will: No, of course not. When someone likes eating sweet food a lot, we say that they have a sweet tooth.
Li: A sweet tooth 意思是喜歡甜食的人， 這些人可以買到由各種水果制成的甜餡兒餅the sweet tooth fruit pie.
Will: And everyone has a preference when talking about crust, which is the outside of a pie. Listen to what this man, who visited the exhibition says:
What is a classic British pie?
Visitor: And my favourite pie will be cheese and onion. Absolutely wonderful!
Reporter: And what sort of pastry are we talking about here: are we talking flaky or shortcrust?
Visitor: Oh, flaky pastry for me definitely.
Li: He said that he likes flaky pastry 油酥式餡餅， 吃到嘴里又酥有脆。
Will: Yes, he likes flaky pastry rather than shortcrust.
Li: Shortcrust. 這種餡餅的表皮比較厚一點，不過吃到嘴里也是酥脆酥脆的。I'm getting hungry, Will!
Will: Yeah, I know, so am I. And apparently so was this woman who also visited the exhibition in Manchester. She doesn't have a sweet tooth but she likes sharper tastes. Listen and tell me why.
Well, I love cheese and onion pies also. And peas. So lovely thick crust but lots and lots of vinegar on the peas.
Li: Ah, she likes lots of vinegar 醋 on her peas! 她喜歡在吃奶酪洋蔥餡餅的時候，把醋撒到豌豆上。Yummy yummy…
Pies should look and taste good!
Will: Well Li, let's just finish the programme and go to a nice restaurant and buy half a dozen pies of different fillings and spend the whole afternoon there just eating and getting fat.
Li: This is pie in the sky, dear William! 那純屬夢想.我們要趕緊回去準備下一個節(jié)目呢 Will！
Will: So no pie in the sky then for us and no pie on our plates either! Let's just get back to work then.
Li: Yeah, let's go. Bye!
Will: Bye!
