这十项 巴西全球无敌手（二）

Satisfying lunches – Lunch is not a dainty affair in Brazil. It's advisable to go easy on breakfast, as the midday meal may put most visitors close to capacity.

令人满足的午餐——巴西的午餐不是量少精细型。建议早餐少吃点，因为大多数人会在中午这餐吃到撑。

Brazilian portions can be gigantic, often larger than even the standard American plateful. It's not a miscommunication when your waiter brings you enough food for twice your number.

巴西的菜肴是巨量的，甚至常常比标准的美式一整盘的份量还多。服务生给你端来双倍量的食物并不是由于理解错误。

A light breakfast is advised, since you'll consume a lot more than you thought for lunch.

Brazilians don't bury their cuisine in fiery sauces that kill flavor. In fact, aside from Bahians, they steer clear of hot sauces in favor of flavorful seasonings.

巴西人不给菜肴浇满辣酱，那会盖住美味。实际上，除了东北部的巴伊亚州人，巴西人会避免使用辣酱而更爱口味丰富的调味料。

They specialize in supertender thin strips of beef and other carnivorous delights, served with rice, beans and fried bananas, washed down with a beer or guaraná soda.

他们特别喜欢极其嫩滑的薄牛肉条和其他肉类，配以米饭、豆子和炸香蕉，连同啤酒或瓜拉纳汽水一起食用。

常有人说，如果巴西人把每年用于狂欢节的创造力和勤奋劲儿投向经济事业，他们的国家将势不可挡。
