德國總統高克來京首晚直奔簋街吃晚餐

On the first night during his visit to China, German President Joachim Gauck tasted the famed local dish, Peking duck, along with other delicacies in a traditional Chinese courtyard.

在訪問北京的第一個晚上，德國總統約阿希姆·高克在一箇中國傳統四合院裏品嚐了當地名菜北京烤鴨和一些其他的美味。

The restaurant is located in Guijie, a popular food street in Beijing famed for midnight dining and spicy crayfish.

該餐廳位於簋街，是北京非常熱鬧的美食一條街，以宵夜和麻辣小龍蝦聞名。

The dinner for Gauck was composed of dishes such as fried lion's mane mushroom, sweet and sour ribs, and smoked sausage, reported Beijing Youth Daily on its public account on social networking platform WeChat. Crayfish was not served for reasons of etiquette.

據北京青年報微信公衆號爆料，高克總統一行所品嚐的菜品包括滿漢全席雲腿猴頭、糖醋小排、北京特色薰腸等。出於餐桌禮儀並沒有上小龍蝦。

The 76-year-old and his entourage finished all the food with forks and knives rather than chopsticks. Gauck seemed to be happy with the meal, saying "tastes good" to the waitress.

76歲的德國總統高克和他的同僚們是用刀叉吃完這頓中餐的，沒有使用筷子。看起來高克對這頓飯特別滿意，連連對服務員表示“味道好極了”。

The dinner cost more than 200 yuan ($31) per person, an upper middle level of consumption for the street.

據悉，這頓飯人均消費200多元（約31美元），在簋街屬於中檔以上消費。

In fact, before Gauck's visit, this restaurant had received other foreign leaders such as Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, former President of the Swiss Confederation Ueli Maurer, and Willem-Alexander, the King of the Netherlands.

事實上，在高克來訪之前，已經有其他外國政要光臨過這家餐廳了，比如意大利總理馬泰奧·倫齊，瑞士聯邦前主席於利·毛雷爾和荷蘭國王威廉·亞歷山大。

Unlike these heads of state, US Vice-President Joe Biden preferred more ordinary food. In a 2011 visit to China, Biden and his men dropped by a snack store in Beijing and ate noodles with soybean paste, a local delicacy, spending a total of 79 yuan.

與這些政要不同，美國副總統拜登更青睞平價小吃。2011年訪華時，拜登帶着隨從去了北京的一家小吃店，點了當地風味小吃炸醬麪，一共才花費了79元。

Gauck is the first German President to visit China in six years. His next stop is Shanghai where he will visit a Jewish refugee memorial and Tongji University, a school established by a German physician more than a century ago.

高克是六年來第一個訪問中國的德國總統。他的下一站是上海，在那裏他將參觀猶太難民紀念館和同濟大學。同濟大學是100多年前由一個德國醫生創辦的。

After that, he will go to Xi'an in Northwest China's Shaanxi province, where he will visit churches and mosques in order to understand the integration of different ethnic groups.

之後，他將前往中國西北部的陝西省西安市，參觀教堂和清真寺，瞭解不同民族的融合。
