西安的小吃真可謂是名揚天下，羊肉泡饃、肉夾饃、涼皮等都是家喻戶曉的美味。但是，網上對西安小吃的英語翻譯五花八門，良莠不齊，今天我們就來看看CNN是如何翻譯西安的名小吃的。

　　羊肉泡饃

　　01。 Flatbread in mutton soup （yangrou paomo） – Yangrou paomo is the mosticonic [標志性的] dish in the Xi’an foodscape。 The ritual [例行公事] before eating a paomo – tearing the bread into small pieces yourself before letting the chef turn it into a stew [燉的食物] – is as enjoyable as the dish itself。

　　肉夾饃

　　02。 Xi’an meat burger （roujiamo） – Roujiamo is the city’s favorite burger。 A delicious roujiamo is composed of [由……組成] two key elements – juicy shredded [切成碎片的]braised pork [燉豬肉] and a crispy baked bread。

　　涼皮

　　03。 Cold noodles （liangpi） – Rice noodles are cooked， cooled and thinly sliced。 The noodles are often served in a sauce made of chili oil [辣椒油]， pepper powder， vinegar anddiced garlic [切成丁的大蒜]。 Then it’s garnished with [配有] bean sprouts [豆芽] and slicedcucumber [黃瓜]。

　　biangbiang面

　　04。 Biangbiang noodles – commonly described as resembling a belt， biangbiang noodles are wide， thick and long。 One string of noodles can easily fill you up。

　　酸湯水餃

　　05。 Hot and sour soup dumpling （suantang shuijiao） – Who can resist a bowl of dumplings swimming in hot and sour soup with sesame seeds [芝麻]， minced leek [蔥花] and cilantro [香菜]？ Suantang shuijiao is flavorful and refreshing with a lingering （and pleasant） aftertaste [回味無窮]。

　　粉蒸肉

　　06。 Steamed beef and wheat powder （fenzhengrou） – This unassuming-looking [其貌不揚的] dish packs 23 herbs， spices and seasonings into one serving and requires seven hours to cook。

　　串兒

　　07。 Kabob （chuan’er） – coated with chili [辣椒] and cumin [孜然] power， it’s a highlyaddictive [使人上癮的] midnight snack for Xi’an residents。 It’s not unusual for locals to order 100 of them in one go。

　　石榴汁兒

　　08。 Pomegranate juice – Pomegranates are a local specialty product。 Pomegranate juice stands pop up around town every fall。

　　甑糕

　　09。 Glutinous rice and date cake （zenggao） – Cooked overnight in a zeng – a traditional earthen utensil [泥做的器皿] – most vendors [商販] only prepare one batch [一爐] of zenggao （glutinous rice [糯米] and date [棗子] layered cake） a day。

　　湯包

　　10。 Soup dumpling （tangbao） – Shanghai’s xiaolongbao？ Wrong。 It is Xi’an’s own version of soup dumplings。 Instead of pork， tangbao in Xi’an is mutton meat and soup packed into a paper-thin wrapper。
