苏东坡(1037-1101)出任杭州的地方官时,为杭州做了三件大好事。
一是修建了苏堤,造福人民。
二是写下一首赞扬西湖美的诗.
WhentakingthepostasanofficialinHangzhou,SuDongpo*(A.D.1037-1101)didthreeexcellentthings/madethreegreatcontributionsforthiscity.ThefirstonewasbuildingSuCausewayontheWestLake.Thesecondwaswritingapoemabout/inpraiseofthebeautyoftheWestLake.
“水光潋滟晴方好,山色空蒙雨亦奇。
欲把西湖比西子,淡妆浓抹总相宜。
”
"Thesepools,solovelywhenthey’rebright.Waveletsareglancinginsunlight.Still,whenthehillsaredimmedwithrain.Theirpristinelovelinessretain.ForsymboloftheWesternLaketheWesternMaidyouwellmaytake.Whetheradornedwithwhiteandrose.Orinunpaintedgraceshegoes."
这首诗被誉为西湖的第一名诗,是西湖最经典的广告词。
这第三样就是到杭州必吃的“东坡肉”。
ItbecametheNo.1poemoftheWestLake,anditisstillthemostclassicalslogantopublicizethisscenicspot,advertisingwordoftheWestLake.Thethirdwasaboutdong-po-rou(DongpoPork),whichmustbeeatenwhenyoutravelinHangzhou.
杭州城的老百姓都很尊敬苏东坡。
他们知道苏东坡喜欢吃肉,过年时,大家送来了猪肉和黄酒。
苏东坡推辞不过,只好收下。
ThepeopleinHangzhouallrespectedSuDongpoverymuch.SuDongpolikedeatingpork,sotheyallpresentedhimsomeporkonNewYear'sDay.SuDongpocouldn'tdecline.
他的家人将酒倒进锅里,加酱油、香葱、姜、糖,在密封的砂锅中用文火焖制,做了几大锅红烧肉。
然后,按照苏东坡的吩咐,给每家每户送去一块。
见苏东坡差人送肉来,大家可高兴啦,亲热地把它叫做“东坡肉”。
从此以后,“东坡肉”就成了杭州的传统名菜。
Hisfamilycooked/braisedalltheporkwithwine,soysauce,gingerandsugar.Then,accordingtoSuDongpo'sinstruction,theporkwassenttoeverycivilian-run/household.Thepeoplewereverygladandcalleditaffectionately“dong-po-rou(DongpoPork)”Fromthenon,“dong-po-rou”becameoneofthetraditionalfamousdishesofHangzhou.
