Jenny: Lily, help yourself to these Boston cream pies. Your favorite, I believe.
珍妮：莉莉，来点儿波士顿奶油派吧。好像是你的最爱哦。
Lily: It's very nice of you, Jenny. Yummy! But I'm confused. What do you call it just now?
莉莉：珍妮，太感谢你了。好吃！但是，我有点儿迷惑，这个叫什么来着？
Jenny: Boston cream pies.
珍妮：波士顿奶油派。
Lily: But I think they are cakes, not pies. Pies are wedge-like.
莉莉：不过，我觉得这好像是蛋糕，不是派呀。派是楔形的。
Jenny: Oh, yeah. They look like cakes, but we call them pies, because the dividing line between a cake and a pie is vague. Probably, the first versions might be baked in pie tins, as pie tins were more common than cake pans.
珍妮：哦，是的。它们长得像蛋糕，但是我们却叫它派，因为蛋糕和派的区别并不是那么明显。或许，第一个波士顿派是在派罐里面做的呢，因为派罐比蛋糕盘更常见。
Lily: Oh, I got it. Pies inherit their names from their originality.
莉莉：哦，我明白了。"派"这一称呼是从它的诞生方式中产生的。
Jenny: Yes. I'd like to tell you more stories behind traditional food.
珍妮：是的。我以后还会告诉你更多美食背后的小故事呢！
Lily: Great! Thanks.
莉莉：太棒了。谢谢你啊。
