曾有一个学中文的俄罗斯朋友对我说,中国人太喜欢“吃”了:商人谈判要在饭桌旁,朋友聚会要一起吃饭,就连恋人见面也免不了这道“重要程序”。吃饭,好像是中国人生活中最重要的一件事。的确,大多数俄罗斯人很不习惯把太多的时间和精力花在“吃”上,他们经常简简单单地就用面包、香肠和沙拉来打发一顿,节省了很多时间。不过,正宗的俄式大餐就不同了,让人过后忘不了。 There was a Chinese-speaking Russian friend who told me that Chinese people like to eat too much. Businessmen should negotiate at the dinner table and meet with friends to eat together. Even lovers will inevitably see this “important procedure.” Eating seems to be the most important thing in Chinese life. Indeed, most Russians are not accustomed to spending too much time and energy on “eating,” and they often save time by simply using bread, sausages and salads. However, the authentic Russian dinner is different, people forget later.
