Popcorn与雪糕
Tuesday, June 07, 2011
今天有人问道：“Is popcorn a corn?" 在那瞬间，空气仿佛凝固了。数秒过后，有人率先恢复知觉，有人犹豫不决，像是深怕踩到地雷还是坠入陷阱似的。第一个开口的人说："Of course it's corn." 问的人还是有些不相信，另一个人这时像是得到第一人鼓舞一样立刻道：
"It's corn that has expanded when heated and popped."

晚上找到一家甜品店时，我指着以上图中的甜品问：“这是什么啊？”
有人说这是雪片冰。我沉吟：“这个应该叫xue hua gao才是。”
“是雪片冰。”有人更正。
“这吃起来像雪糕，看起来像冰花，所以叫xue hua gao不错。”
“雪花膏不就是那个用来涂脸的吗？”
“此糕非彼膏。我说的是蛋糕的糕。”
“可是蛋糕不就是糕点、糕饼吗？这明明是冰。”
“难道雪糕是糕？”
“..."
所以popcorn是corn，雪糕却非糕。顺道把雪片冰（真的叫雪片冰啦）唤作雪花糕。
