Chinese visitors seeking to sample British tradition usually flock straight to our stately homes and royal palaces. But one unlikely stop-off has now joined the ranks of must-see locations for tourists from the Far East – a chippy just outside York.

周杰倫引發“薯條效應”!英國炸魚薯條店火了!

試圖體驗英國傳統的中國遊客,通常會成羣結隊地去參觀豪華古宅和皇家宮殿。說來奇妙的是,東方旅客必去的景點現在又多了一個—約克郡外邊的一家薯條店。

 

Scotts fish and chip restaurant, on the A64 at Bilbrough, has become so popular with coachloads of Chinese tourists that it has translated its menu into Cantonese and Mandarin. It has even put its web page on China's blogging site Weibo.

蘇格蘭炸魚薯條—這家位於比爾伯勒64號大街的餐館,受到了一車又一車搭乘大巴前來的中國遊客的追捧,以至於這家餐館把菜單翻譯成了廣東話及普通話,甚至還開通了微博。

 

Owner Tony Webster says he gets more than 100 Chinese visitors a week, who take a break from visiting York, Castle Howard and other historic sites to dine.

店主託尼•韋伯斯特表示,他每週接待100多位中國遊客,這些遊客通常在遊覽過約克郡、霍華德城堡和其他古蹟後來此就餐、稍作休息。

 

Asian pop star Jay Chou, who played Seth Rogen's sidekick Kato in The Green Hornet, held his wedding to Hannah Quinlivan at Selby's 1,000-year-old abbey in 2015.

亞洲流行歌手周杰倫—《青蜂俠》中塞斯•羅根助手卡託的扮演者,2015年在(約克郡)塞爾比小鎮裏擁有千年歷史的教堂裏,與昆凌(漢娜•昆利文)完婚。

 

'Chinese people love pop stars , so when their idols was seen eating fish and chips, it was something they wanted to try for themselves. '

“中國人熱愛流行明星,所以當看到他們偶像吃着炸魚薯條時,他們也躍躍欲試。”

 

'It is a funny sight to behold, they come in and take pictures of the restaurant, pictures of themselves, pictures of their meal and then pictures of them eating their meal,' Mr Webster said. 'Most do not drink alcohol, however. They generally want hot water because they bring their own Chinese tea, and it's generally tea leaves rather than tea bags,' he added.

“有一個有趣的現象,他們進來後會拍很多照片—拍餐館、自拍、拍他們點的餐、拍自己吃東西的樣子,”韋伯斯特先生說,“不過他們大部分人都不喝酒,但會找我們要熱水,因爲他們隨身帶着中國的茶,通常是茶葉而不是茶包。”

 

There can be problems, however. Yesterday a coach party of Chinese arrived unexpectedly and had to be turned away as the restaurant could not cater for them.

有時也會出現問題。比如昨天,一車未事先打招呼的中國遊客就被拒絕了,因爲餐館沒法爲他們提供食物。
