IV.
1. Food to us Chinese is one of the greatest joys in life: it is thought about before
being prepared; it is treated with lots of love and care while being prepared; and when
it is ready, a great deal of time is devoted to enjoying it.
2. The main reason for the sudden and tremendous popularity of chinese food
throughout the whole Western world lies in two facts: One is the increased desire for
sensual pleasures (which is abundant in Chinese food) and freedom from age-old
customs in the West; the other is the notion of physical pleasure provided by Chinese
food, which is always ready to satisfy the taste of the eater.

III.
一个典型中国人的观点是：吃是第一乐事。中国人非常重视吃，许多人还
把它看成是人生快事之一。这里有一个很有趣的例子，它说明了西方人和中国
人对待吃的不同态度。西方人上餐馆时，他们最关心的往往是找一张好餐桌，
更确切地说，找一个可以看见别人，又能让人看见的位置。然而，中国人上餐
馆时，他们则喜欢找一间公共场合的人所看不见的小房间。这种差异的原因在
于，前者在用餐时由于有社会交流而感到惬意，而后者则主要从品尝食物中得
到快乐。
许多人认为，一顿传统的精美中国餐准备工作极其细致。据说，备料和配
料占实际准备的大约 90%的工作量，烹调本身则仅仅占大约 10%的工作量。既
然准备如此精细，那么享用也应该与之匹配一顿正宗的中国餐宴可以长达三
个多小时。难怪有人说，它恰似一个宗教仪式。
