很多中国美食网站喜欢引用这样一句据说是孔子说过的话,“吃是生命中最重要的事情.”从而把中国人对美食的喜好和古代智慧联系了起来。姑且不去计较孔子他老人家是否说过这样的话.它无疑反映出了中国人对美食的崇尚。初到中国的时候,中国人对美食的热衷让我这个来自以“美食家之国”著称的法国人充满了热情,至今这种热情仍未消减。 Many Chinese food websites like to quote such a sentence, which is said to be what Confucius said, “eating is the most important thing in life.” This connects the Chinese preference for food with ancient wisdom. Let us not consider whether Confucius’s elders ever said such words or not, which undoubtedly reflects the Chinese’s advocacy of food. When I first arrived in China, the Chinese enthusiasm for food gave me the passion from a French man known as the “country of the gourmet country.” So far this enthusiasm has not diminished.
