西安的小吃真可谓是名扬天下，羊肉泡馍、肉夹馍、凉皮等都是家喻户晓的美味。但是，网上对西安小吃的英语翻译五花八门，良莠不齐，今天我们就来看看CNN是如何翻译西安的名小吃的。
羊肉泡馍
01。 Flatbread in mutton soup （yangrou paomo） – Yangrou paomo is the mosticonic [标志性的] dish in the Xi’an foodscape。 The ritual [例行公事] before eating a paomo – tearing the bread into small pieces yourself before letting the chef turn it into a stew [炖的食物] – is as enjoyable as the dish itself。
肉夹馍
02。 Xi’an meat burger （roujiamo） – Roujiamo is the city’s favorite burger。 A delicious roujiamo is composed of [由……组成] two key elements – juicy shredded [切成碎片的]braised pork [炖猪肉] and a crispy baked bread。
凉皮
03。 Cold noodles （liangpi） – Rice noodles are cooked， cooled and thinly sliced。 The noodles are often served in a sauce made of chili oil [辣椒油]， pepper powder， vinegar anddiced garlic [切成丁的大蒜]。 Then it’s garnished with [配有] bean sprouts [豆芽] and slicedcucumber [黄瓜]。
biangbiang面
04。 Biangbiang noodles – commonly described as resembling a belt， biangbiang noodles are wide， thick and long。 One string of noodles can easily fill you up。
酸汤水饺
05。 Hot and sour soup dumpling （suantang shuijiao） – Who can resist a bowl of dumplings swimming in hot and sour soup with sesame seeds [芝麻]， minced leek [葱花] and cilantro [香菜]？ Suantang shuijiao is flavorful and refreshing with a lingering （and pleasant） aftertaste [回味无穷]。
粉蒸肉
06。 Steamed beef and wheat powder （fenzhengrou） – This unassuming-looking [其貌不扬的] dish packs 23 herbs， spices and seasonings into one serving and requires seven hours to cook。
串儿
07。 Kabob （chuan’er） – coated with chili [辣椒] and cumin [孜然] power， it’s a highlyaddictive [使人上瘾的] midnight snack for Xi’an residents。 It’s not unusual for locals to order 100 of them in one go。
石榴汁儿
08。 Pomegranate juice – Pomegranates are a local specialty product。 Pomegranate juice stands pop up around town every fall。
甑糕
09。 Glutinous rice and date cake （zenggao） – Cooked overnight in a zeng – a traditional earthen utensil [泥做的器皿] – most vendors [商贩] only prepare one batch [一炉] of zenggao （glutinous rice [糯米] and date [枣子] layered cake） a day。
汤包
10。 Soup dumpling （tangbao） – Shanghai’s xiaolongbao？ Wrong。 It is Xi’an’s own version of soup dumplings。 Instead of pork， tangbao in Xi’an is mutton meat and soup packed into a paper-thin wrapper。
