每天三分钟学英语 第398期:Heavy cream真不是“重奶油”

 4、美国超市常见的其他乳制品

当我们想询问一样东西时，可以这样问：

- Also, is the heavy cream in this section too?

- 还有鲜奶油也在这一区吗？Sometimes you don't just need to buy milk, but other dairy products too. 有时候我们不只买牛奶，还买一些其他乳制品。

 

Do you know all of the different types of dairy products?

你了解不同种类的乳制品吗？

First, let's review the different types of milk you can buy.
首先来复习下不同种类的牛奶。

Before, we learned that milk can be divided based on how much fat was in the milk. There's regular or whole milk, 2% milk, 1% milk, and nonfat or skimmed milk.
之前学习了牛奶可以根据其中的脂肪含量分为全脂，2%，1%和脱脂。

Now let's learn more types of milk and dairy products.
现在来学习下其他牛奶的分类以及乳制品。

Organic milk
有机牛奶

Well, organic milk is different from regular milk in that the cows eat organic feed.
有机牛奶与普通牛奶的区别主要在于奶牛是由有机食品喂养的。

Organic milk is often viewed as "healthier" because it is more natural.
有机牛奶会被认为”更健康“因为它更天然。

Chocolate milk
巧克力奶

Now, let's go onto my favorite type of milk: chocolate milk!
接下来就是我最喜欢的巧克力奶了！

Chocolate milk is just like regular milk, but chocolate syrup¹ or cocoa powder is added into it to make it taste like chocolate.
巧克力奶和普通牛奶一样，只是加入了巧克力糖浆或者可可粉，让它味道更像巧克力。

Lactose-free milk
Lactaid brand
无乳糖牛奶

最常见品牌 Laictaid

A special kind of milk that you might find in the dairy aisle² is called "lactose-free" milk.
在乳制品区可能会找到一种比较特殊的牛奶叫”无乳糖“牛奶。

Since a lot of people are allergic³ to the enzyme⁴ lactose that is found in milk, "lactose-free" milk takes out that enzyme so it doesn't give people stomach aches who are lactose-intolerant.
因为很多人都对牛奶中的乳糖酶过敏，”无乳糖牛奶“去除了这种酶，所以不会导致乳糖不耐人群胃疼。

A very popular brand of "lactose-free" milk is called "Lactaid".
一种很受欢迎的无乳糖牛奶是Laictaid。

Soy milk
豆奶

Many people who are allergic to regular milk made by cows will drink soy milk as a substitute instead.
很多对牛奶过敏的人会喝豆奶来替代牛奶。

Now let's learn a bit more about some other popular products you'll find in the dairy aisle.
下面再来学习更多常见的奶制品。

Coffee creamer
奶精

Coffee creamer is different from milk because coffee creamer doesn't actually have any dairy in it! However, we'll include it here because you will probably see it in the dairy aisle.
奶精和牛奶不一样因为它不是真正意义上的乳制品（里边没有牛奶哦）。但你在奶制品区也可能找到它。

Coffee creamer is a popular way to flavor coffee and make it taste better.
奶精是种常用于咖啡中，让咖啡更好喝。

1/2 and 1/2
一半一半（一半鲜奶油一半全脂奶)

Another thing that you can add to your coffee is 1/2 and 1/2. Unlike coffee creamer, 1/2 and 1/2 is a dairy product. This is because 1/2 and 1/2 is made out of cream and whole milk.
另外一种可以加入咖啡的是"1/2 and 1/2"。和奶精不同的是，它是一种乳制品。因为它是由一半奶油和全脂奶做的。

Heavy cream
鲜奶油

Heavy cream is different from other dairy products you might find in the dairy aisle because it's mainly used as an ingredient for other things.
鲜奶油和乳制品区里的其他产品不同的是它是用来做其他食物的原材料。

For example, heavy cream is often added into dessert receipes.
比如它经常出现在甜点的食谱上。

Yogurt
酸奶

Yogurt is a dairy product because it is basically fermented⁵ milk. It might sound gross, but yogurt is very yummy and healthy for you, too!
酸奶基本上就是种发酵的牛奶，虽然可能听起来有点恶心，但它美味又健康。

Again, it's important to remember that most stores will have dairy products all in the same section or aisle.
再次提醒一下，再大部分商店都会把乳制品放在一个分区或者一个货架上。

So, if you go to the store to buy milk but you need heavy cream too, you can ask: "Also, is the heavy cream in this section too?"
所以如果你去商店买牛奶但也需要奶油时，你可以说“还有鲜奶油也在这一区吗？”
