純正地道美語 第241期(外教講解):做三明治

A: Welcome to our show! Today, I am going to show you how to make the perfect mouthwatering sandwich! Are you ready? Let’s get started !

A: Let’s start with the basics :bread. Bread is an important ingredient here. You need to remember one thing -choose the bread according to the following criteria :freshness, crumb and color. If you want a closed sandwich I recommend you first toast your bread in a toaster or oven, or grill it slightly until it gets a light brown color.

A: Now that our bread is ready, let’s talk about the ingredients ! Of course, each person’s palate is different, but I’m going to give you a few tips that you’ll be able to use when turning any sandwich into the perfect sandwich. I would strongly recommend you put fresh vegetables in your sandwich.

A: Do not undervalue them as they play a big role in forming the taste and will make the sandwich more refreshing and light. The best choices here are evident—cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, sweet pepper or chilli, lettuce and, of course, herbs— you can’t go wrong with them. As for aubergines, mushrooms and asparagus, I would recommend you first grill them slightly with a little touch of olive oil.

A: Last but not least, we have a wide variety of condiments that we can add to our perfect sandwich. We can be subtle and just add a touch of salt and pepper, or we can combine mustard sauce, mayonnaise, ketchup or even caviar to achieve a stronger flavor! It’s always a good idea to cut your sandwich in triangles or manageable pieces to avoid all your ingredients falling out and staining your shirt!

A: That’s all the time we have for today, but join us next time where we’ll be going over how to make the perfect lasagna! Till next time!

A: 歡迎收看我們的節目，今天我向你們展示如何製作美味的三明治。你準備好了嗎？我們開始吧。

A: 我們從基本的開始：麪包。麪包很重要。你需要記住一件事——根據下面的標準來選擇main包：新鮮，麪包屑和顏色。如果你想要個沒有縫隙的三明治，我推薦你先在烤麪包機或烤箱中烤麪包，或輕烤麪包制到麪包有一層線褐色。

A: 現在麪包準備好了，我們來看下成分：當然每個人的口味不同，但是我給你一些建議，讓你做的三明治都很好吃。我建議推薦在三明治中放些新鮮的蔬菜。

A: 不要小瞧蔬菜在滋味方面的貢獻，它會使三明治嚐起來更新鮮，重量更輕。最好的搭配顯而易見：黃瓜，西紅柿，圓蔥，甜椒或幹辣椒，當然還有香草—你不會弄錯的。至於茄子，蘑菇和 蘆筍，我推薦你先用少許橄欖油輕烤下。

A: 最後也是最重要的，我們可以在三明治中放很多佐料。可以做得很微妙，只加一點鹽和調味品，或者調拌芥菜汁，蛋黃醬，調味蕃茄醬，魚子醬來達到重口味。將三明治切成三角形或是易切的小塊來避免調味品掉出並弄髒襯衫是個不錯的注意。

A: 今天的節目就到這裏。記得下次觀看我們的節目一起來做美味的烤寬麪條。下次見！
