為什么看不懂西餐菜單？因?yàn)樗麄儾幌裰胁湍菢优鋱D片！

一位機(jī)智的中國(guó)漫畫(huà)家在Boredpanda上用兩幅圖對(duì)比了中餐菜單和西餐菜單的區(qū)別……

看完恍然大悟，這一定就是我們看不懂西餐菜單的原因：沒(méi)有圖片!

漫畫(huà)的作者曹思予說(shuō)：

I went to a nice restaurant with my parents in Lyon. They were really curious to try something local but they didn't understand a thing on the menu. “Why don’t they have pictures?” they asked. In China, lots of menus have photos that illustrate the dishes, so even if you don't understand Chinese, you can still order by pointing at the most tantalizing picture.

我和爸媽上法國(guó)里昂的一個(gè)高檔餐廳吃飯，他們很想嘗嘗當(dāng)?shù)靥厣耍墒峭耆床欢藛紊系牟嗣?。他們?wèn)我：“為啥沒(méi)圖片呀?”在中國(guó)，很多菜單都附帶圖片展示菜品的樣子，就算你不懂中文，也可以看著圖選出你想吃的菜。

對(duì)此，許多外國(guó)網(wǎng)友深有感觸……

@SupriyaG :

Now I feel the same after reading this, like if we visit some other countries I think there should be photos otherwise it would be difficult to select.

深有同感，我們?cè)趪?guó)外旅游的時(shí)候，菜單上要有圖片就好了，不然好難選擇。

@ravina nimje:

The French are too proud about their food, so they just assume everyone knows about it.

法國(guó)人對(duì)他們的食物太自負(fù)了，默認(rèn)全世界人都看得懂他們的菜單。

有的網(wǎng)友認(rèn)為中餐館的做法很值得借鑒：

@Perry Swift:

Now that you come to mention it, nearly all Chinese restaurants here in the UK have pictures on the menu.

你這么一提，我想起來(lái)了，英國(guó)幾乎所有中餐館的菜單上都帶圖片。

@Linda DeSha:

Great idea!

這主意很棒啊!

@Purple_haired_teenager:

The simplicity of the Chinese menu though!!!! I would love to have that kind of menu in the U.S.

中餐菜單真簡(jiǎn)潔!!希望美國(guó)也有這種菜單。

還有網(wǎng)友分享了自己在各國(guó)點(diǎn)菜的經(jīng)歷：

@Dee Hunter:

Not sure about China, but in Japan restaurants even have displays of plastic food to show what it would look like. You just need to point at the food you'd like.

不知道中國(guó)是怎樣的，不過(guò)日本餐館甚至?xí)故境鍪澄锼芰蠘悠罚阒恍枰敢幌履阆氤缘牟司托小?/p>

@Jaguarundi:

I went to a restaurant in St Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Often there are visitors that don't understand the fish species listed on the menu. The restaurant's solution? Show the guest a wildlife identification card from a scuba shop.

我去過(guò)美屬維京群島圣托馬斯的一家餐廳，很多游客不認(rèn)識(shí)菜單上各種魚(yú)的品種，餐館是怎么解決的呢?給顧客看潛水店的野生生物卡片。

用一張簡(jiǎn)單的漫畫(huà)引發(fā)人們對(duì)于各國(guó)文化差異的思考，曹思予是這方面的行家。

這位來(lái)自北京的姑娘，去年創(chuàng)作的系列漫畫(huà)“Tiny Eyes Comics”曾火爆國(guó)外社交媒體。

她用簡(jiǎn)潔的畫(huà)風(fēng)、幽默的文字，捕捉生活中的細(xì)節(jié)，展現(xiàn)中西文化之對(duì)比。

她在發(fā)表于Boredpanda的貼文中介紹稱，過(guò)去10年，她曾在英、美、法三國(guó)留學(xué)、工作、游歷，期間，她發(fā)現(xiàn)外國(guó)朋友對(duì)于中國(guó)充滿了好奇與誤解，于是決定用漫畫(huà)記錄下中西文化碰撞的瞬間。

I started "tiny eyes" comics a year ago in the hope of sharing Chinese culture through everyday life. To me, learning about other cultures has always been a fun experience, and I want to pass this feeling to people who are curious about China.

我一年前開(kāi)始創(chuàng)作“小眼睛”漫畫(huà)系列，希望通過(guò)日常生活的點(diǎn)滴來(lái)分享中國(guó)文化。對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)，了解其他文化總是充滿了樂(lè)趣，我希望把這種感受傳遞給對(duì)中國(guó)文化感到好奇的朋友們。

餐桌好伴侶。西方：鹽和胡椒;中國(guó)：醋和醬油

這些漫畫(huà)有沒(méi)有引起你的共鳴呢?
