螺蛳粉里一定会有螺丝肉吧!

Jenny提到 'The infamous smell takes China and even takes world by storm.'
infamous 这里并不是一个不好的形容词。

02.Uniqueness of snail rice noodle
Adam在这里形容螺蛳粉是个unique的食物:
Not everybody can accept it, those who love it, love it a lot.
polarizing 两极分化。
螺狮粉拥有 cult following 狂热粉丝。
Jenny说外国网友的评价是 'It's odorous, but it's aromatic at the same time.'
odorous和stinky意思相近,都是味道很重,熏人的意思。
odorous
aromatic是表示食物闻起来很香 。
Adam感叹道'Beauty is in the eye of the beholders, and aroma is in the nose of the smelling.'
美好的事物还是要自己感受,浓厚的臭气也可以很美味。
螺蛳粉的uniqueness就体现在又臭又香、独特美味,让人念念不忘 'you are gonna get hooked.'
hooked 与addicted是近义词,都是上瘾、离不开的意思。
用法:hooked on sth 对...上瘾、无法自拔

Jenny 拆开包装,有dry rice noodles, snail soap bag, chili oil bag, tofu skin and peanuts bag, pickled bamboo shoot bag.
pickle 酱菜、腌菜
