squirrel mandarin fish (a Chinese fish dish) / 松鼠鳜鱼 / (sōnɡshǔ ɡuìyú)
A: I heard you really like fish. Tonight I'll make you a dish you probably have never eaten before.
听说你非常喜欢吃鱼,今天晚上我给你做一道你可能从没吃过的菜吧。
(tīnɡshuō nǐ fēichánɡ xǐhuān chī yú, jīntiān wǎnshànɡ wǒ ɡěinǐ zuò yīdào nǐ kěnénɡ cónɡméi chīɡuò de cài bā?)
B: Okay. Can you reveal a bit about what you are making?
好啊,你能给我透露下你要做什么吗？
(hǎoā, nǐ nénɡ ɡěiwǒ tòulù xià nǐyào zuò shenme ma?)
A: I'm going to make you a dish called squirrel mandarin fish.
我给你做一道叫做松鼠鳜鱼的菜。
(wǒ ɡěinǐ zuò yīdào jiàozuò sōnɡshǔ ɡuìyú de cài.)
B: Heavens. I don't want to eat a squirrel. What kind of dish is this?
天啊,我可不想吃松鼠。这是一道什么样的菜呢？
(tiānā,wǒ kě bù xiǎnɡchī sōnɡshǔ.zhèshì yīdào shenmeyànɡ de cài ne?)
A: Relax. This dish's main ingredient is mandarin fish. It is sweet and sour and really crispy.
放心吧,这道菜只用鳜鱼为主要食材。它口味酸甜并且十分酥脆。
(fànɡxīn bā, zhèdào cài zhīyònɡ ɡuìyú wéi zhǔyào shícái.tā kǒuwèi suāntián bìnɡqiě shífēn sūcuì.)
B: What is the relationship between this dish and squirrels?
那这道菜跟松鼠有什么关系吗？
(nà zhèdàocài ɡēn sōnɡshǔ yǒu shenme ɡuānxì ma?)
A: It mainly has to do with its appearance. Most chefs will make a bunch of cuts on the fish and then fry it, the fish's curled tail looks like a squirrel, so it is called squirrel mandarin fish.
主要源于它的外形。一般厨师会在鱼上划出很多纹路,然后下锅烹炸,鱼翘起来的尾巴和松鼠神似,因此叫做松鼠鳜鱼。
(zhǔyào yuányú tāde wàixínɡ.yībān chúshī huì zài yú shànɡ huáchū hěnduō wénlù, ránhòu xiàɡuō pēnɡzhà, yú qiàoqǐlái de wěibā hé sōnɡshǔ shénsì, yīncǐ jiàozuò sōnɡshǔ ɡuìyú.)
