第二篇

在西方人心目中，和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来，大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位，以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多种植水稻，人们通常以大米为主食；而华北大部分地区由于过于寒冷或过于干燥无法种植水稻，那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国，有些人用面粉做面包，但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。

In theeyes of the western, the basic food closest to China is rice. Rice has longoccupied so significant a position in the diet of Chinese that there is aproverb “ Even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice”. Rice isgrown mostly in southern China where people usually take rice as their staplefood, while it cannot be planted in northern China where the climate is eithertoo cold or too dry for rice to grow. As a result, the main crop in the northis wheat. In China, flour is sometimes the main inGREdient for bread but moreoften used to make buns and noodles.
