刚来北京时,我是个素食主义者。这一点从我16岁以后就一直没变过,而且我也从没有过要改变的打算。可来到中国后我很快就意识到,“素食阶段”无法再继续了。你告诉服务员“不吃肉”后,他们仍会端上有肉末的豆腐;或者你要的茄子汤里会飘着少许肉丁。有一次在云南,我点的豆腐里竟有一些火腿片。 When I first came to Beijing, I was a vegetarian. This has not changed since I was 16 years old and I have never had any plans to change. When I came to China, I quickly realized that the “vegetarian stage” could not be continued. You told the waiter “Do not eat meat”, they will still be served with minced meat tofu, or you want to eggplant soup will be floating a little bit of meat. Once in Yunnan, I actually had some slices of ham in the tofu.
