  David:I understand that in Chinese culture people normally eat rice or, as an alternative, dumplings at the end of a meal.我感覺中國人吃飯時喜歡最后吃米飯或餃子。

  You:我們經(jīng)常吃米飯,但餃子可不是每天都吃。We usually eat rice but we don't usually eat dumplings every day.

  David:Sometimes I have had meals with Chinese friends and at the end of the meal, they choose whether to eat rice or dumplings. Why? 我跟中國朋友一起去吃飯時,他們經(jīng)常會在快吃完時才點米飯或餃子。這是為什么?

  You:哦。在餐館里,人們可能喜歡在正餐后吃點面食來填肚子;而在家里人們并不是每天都吃餃子。如果每頓都吃米飯,雖然很方便,但也會覺得煩的。中國人有除夕夜吃餃子的習(xí)俗,而且這一習(xí)俗在北方更為盛行。Well, maybe this is true in restaurants when people eat starch to fill up at the end of a meal. But eating at home is different. At home, dumplingsaren't intended for every day consumption. If you eat rice at every meal, although it's convenient, it can get boring. It's a Chinese custom, especially in the north, to eat dumplings the night before Spring Festival.

  David:Why? What's the history?為什么?有什么說法嗎?

  You:是有一個故事但我不大清楚。我是南方人,我們那兒沒有這個習(xí)俗。There is a story but I don't know it. I am from south China and we don't share that custom.

  David:It's not a part of the custom in southern China. It is only a custom in Beijing?中國南方?jīng)]有這個習(xí)俗。那僅僅是北京有嗎?

  You:不僅是北京,而且整個北方都有這樣的習(xí)俗。

  David:Someone told me before that, because the dumpling is round, it symbolizes the beginning of a new cycle. I am not sure, but sometimes I understand they put a coin inside when they make dumplings, whoever eats the dumpling with the coin will have good luck. Maybe this is more northeastern culture. 以前有人告訴我,餃子是圓的,象征著新的一輪的開始;我不知道這是不是真的??墒牵抑烙袝r候人們包餃子時也會把一個餃子里面包上一枚硬幣。吃到這個餃子的人就會有好運。也許這更具有東北特色一些。

  You:我也這樣認(rèn)為。Yeah, Ithink so.
