问题补充:
西方好像没有饺子,如果没有,请解释一下英语中dumpling这个词的由来~
答案:
【答案】 dumpling 蒸的或煮的小面团; 汤团; 团子.
a round lump of flour and fat mixed with water, cooked in boiling liquid and served with meat
这个词的由来,一些英英字典上标的是[Earlier dumplin, perhaps from dump, lump.],或者来源不确定。
饺子,现在西方逐渐接受汉语音译名:jiaozi
Jiaozi typically consist of a ground meat and/or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping.
