5 Cuckoo Clocks布谷鸟钟
Even though most people associate[把……联系起来] the cuckoo clock with Switzerland, it isn’t really Swiss at all. The cuckoo clock actually
originated[起源] in the Black Forest area of Southern Germany. The reason the Swiss are associated with it is because after the world wars, many of the German workshops were destroyed, and Swiss clockmakers began making cuckoo clocks. Cuckoo
clocks are a popular Swiss souvenir[纪念品], and you’ll find them in most souvenir shops.
虽然很多人把布谷鸟钟和瑞士联系在一起，但其实它根本不是瑞士的东西。实际上，布谷鸟钟源自德国南部的黑森林地区。瑞士和布谷鸟钟拉上关系的原因是在世界大战后，德国的许多作坊被毁，于是瑞士的钟表匠开始制造布谷鸟钟。布谷鸟钟是很受欢迎的瑞士纪念品，你可以在大多数纪念品商店找到。
4 Swiss Army Knife 瑞士军刀
For a lot of people, the Swiss Army Knife is a lot like Switzerland itself: small, ingenious[设计精巧的] and easy to fall in love with. With enough tools to do everything short of mopping[用拖把拖洗] the kitchen floor, the Swiss Army Knife has become one of the country’s best known and most popular products.
对很多人来说，瑞士军刀和瑞士本身很相像：小巧、精细，让人一见钟情。除了拖厨房地板以外，瑞士军刀有足够的工具做任何事情，因此成为这个国家最出名、最受欢迎的产品。
3 Watches 手表
Out of all the souvenirs most people will buy, this is definitely the most expensive. Swiss watchmakers are best known for their luxurious[奢侈的] products. Covered with gold and diamonds, these are true works of art.
在多数人会买的纪念品当中，这无疑是最昂贵的。瑞士钟表匠以生产奢华品著称。这些镶金带钻的手表是真正的艺术品。
2 Cheese 干酪
There are about 450 types of cheese available in Switzerland. The most
commonly available ones are Mozzarella, Gruyere and Emmental. Though there may not be as wide a variety of cheese on offer
in Switzerland as in France, the Swiss beat the French hands down in cheese
consumption[消费（量）]: on average 2.1
kilograms per person every year!
在瑞士，大约有450种干酪可供选择。最常见的品种有莫泽雷勒干酪、格鲁耶尔干酪和瑞士多孔干酪。虽然瑞士干酪的品种没有法国多，但瑞士人在干酪消费量方面彻底打败了法国人—平均每人每年消费2.1公斤！
1Chocolate 巧克力
In no other country is chocolate regarded as highly as it is in Switzerland. Almost every visitor to Switzerland will try a piece of Swiss chocolate, at the very least to see what all the fuss[小题大做] is about - and after the first taste, most will agree that the Swiss make some of the best chocolates in the world!
没有哪个国家像瑞士那样把巧克力看得如此重要。几乎每一个到瑞士的游客都会尝一口瑞士巧克力，至少是为了搞清楚到底是怎么回事—尝完第一口之后，多数人都会同意瑞士人生产的巧克力确实是世界上最好的！
