  If you walk into a western-style coffee shop, you will see them. Right there, next to the cakes and cookies, are the bagels. Not long ago, these odd-looking pieces of bread were found only in bakeries. Now, you can find them almost anywhere. But what is a bagel? And how did bagels become so popular?

  A bagel is a round piece of bread with a hole in the middle. Before it is baked, the dough is boiled in water. This makes the bagel hard on the outside, and soft on the inside.

  A good bagel can be eaten alone. However, many people like to cut them in half and put food in between. Cream cheese, lox, and tomatoes all taste great on a bagel. Many bagels are also baked with tasty things in the dough.

美食篇:美味百吉饼,好运天天来

  翻译:

  只要你走进一家西式咖啡屋,就会看到它们。就在那里,挨着蛋糕和饼干的就是百吉饼了。不久之前,这些外形奇特的面包只能在面包店里找到。如今,你几乎在任何地方都可找到它们。但是百吉饼是什么呢?它又是如何变得这么受欢迎呢?

  百吉饼是一种环形的中间有孔的面包。在烘烤之前,生面团先在水里煮一下。这使得百吉饼外面很硬,里面却很软。

  一个好的百吉饼可以单独吃。然而,许多人喜欢把它们从中间切开,然后把食物放进去。奶油乳酪、熏鲑鱼和西红柿放在百吉饼里,尝起来味道都好极了。也有许多百吉饼是生面团中加入美味的材料烤成的。Sentence 4U

  in half "使成两半",例如:

  Johnny, can you cut this watermelon in half for me?

  约翰尼,你能帮我把这个西瓜切成两半吗?

  词汇小补贴:

  bagel百吉饼

  bakery面包店

  dough生面团

  lox熏鲑鱼

  英语小教室

  百吉饼(bagel)近来不仅在面包店(bakery)畅销,同时在咖啡屋(coffee shop)也成为热门(hot and popular)商品。它吃起来不像一般面包那样里外都很松软(it doesn't taste like ordinary bread, which is soft on both the inside and the outside),而是很耐嚼(chewy)。百吉饼在美国是很普通的食品,但是经过加工,如在面团里加入美味的葡萄干、蓝莓等一起烘烤(baked with tasty things like raisins, blueberries, etc. in the dough),或是把蜂蜜、果酱、花生酱、甚至金枪鱼夹在其中(put honey, jam, peanut butter, or even tuna fish between the halves),当然更好吃一些(taste better)。
