模仿文本： I run a small restaurant. Whenever I talk about it, some well-meaning soul will ask with genuine interest "What sort of food do you serve?" Well, I can't say it's French, Italian, Indian, Chinese or Mexican, so I'll ask him a question right back "If you went into a little place like this in a small town about the size of this one in France, would you ask the chef 'Is your food seasonal, local? Is it French?'" Of course not. The very idea is absurd.

 

译文：我经营着一家小餐馆。每次我一说到这，就会有些善意的人们表现得打心眼里感兴趣，他们会问“你餐馆是什么菜系的啊？” 好吧，我不能把它归于法国料理、意大利料理、印度料理、中国料理或者墨西哥料理任何一种，所以我会反问他“如果你在一个同样小的法国小镇进了一家同样小的餐馆，你会问大厨‘你们的菜是当季的么？当地的么？法式的么？’”当然不会吧。这个想法本身就很荒唐。
