Vegan Or Vegetarian?
A: Hey Julie, you want to go grab something to eat? 朱莉,要不要出去吃點(diǎn)東西?
B: Sure! What do you feel like having? 好啊!你想吃什么?
A: I really feel like having a big juicy steak! 我好想來一塊美味多汁的牛排啊!
B: Oh. OK. I don't eat meat, but that's fine, I am sure wherever we are going they will have other options right? 好吧。我是不吃肉的。不過沒關(guān)系。我們?nèi)サ牡胤娇隙ㄓ泻芏喾N選擇。
A: I didn't know you were a vegetarian! 你是素食主義者呀?我還不知道呢。
B: I'm not, I am a vegan. 不,我是一個(gè)絕對(duì)素食主義者。
A: A what? 那是什么意思?
B: A vegan. I don't eat or use any animal based products. I don't wear leather, eat eggs, drink milk or anything that comes from an animal. I used to be a pescatarian before, which basically means you don't eat meat, but still have fish and seafood. 意思就是我不食用任何來自動(dòng)物身上的東西。不穿皮草,不食用蛋類、奶制品或其它任何來自動(dòng)物的食品。我以前是魚素者,就是不吃肉但是可以吃魚類和海產(chǎn)。
A: Wow! That's interesting! It must be tough! 哇!真有意思!肯定挺難的吧。
B: It's a bit difficult to find vegetarian friendly restaurants sometimes, but since more and more people are vegetarians or vegans nowadays, it's getting a bit less difficult. 有時(shí)候確實(shí)很難找到一家支持素食主義的餐館。不過現(xiàn)在越來越多的人成為了素食主義者或是絕地素食主義者,情況也就好多了。
多說兩句:
vegetarian素食主義者,俗稱“吃素的”,即只吃蔬菜而不吃葷菜的人。素食主義是一種飲食文化,實(shí)踐這種飲食文化的人稱為素食主義者。他們不食用一切有生命和感情的動(dòng)物之肉,包括家畜、野獸、飛禽、魚類、海鮮等,但一般可以食用蛋、奶、黃油、奶酪等奶制品。素食主義者有很多種,如自由式(偶爾犯規(guī)也沒關(guān)系)和苦行式(嚴(yán)格遵守,蛋、奶、黃油、奶酪也絕不吃)等等。
除素食主義外,還有一種純素食主義(vegan),那些純素食主義者不但不食用任何有情眾生之肉,而且連蛋、奶制品甚至蜂蜜都排斥在外,也就是說,只靠植物類食品維持生命,凡來源于動(dòng)物的食品一律不沾。除了食物之外,純素食主義者也不使用動(dòng)物制成的商品,例如皮衣、皮鞋、皮帶、皮包等皮制品和含動(dòng)物體成份的化妝品。
除了文中提到的魚素義者之外,還有奶素主義者、蛋素主義者等等。
