印度人的主食包括南印度酸豆汤、米饭、印度烙饼、(适当调味或煸炒的)蔬菜以及鱼和肉。
There’s a stereotypical image of a very poor person in India subsisting on a couple of Rotis, a pinch of salt, and some raw onions for flavour.印度的一种非常刻板的现象是最穷的人也要一些素面包,少许盐及一些生洋葱作为调味品。
(Actually the stereotype of really dire poverty is that meal, minus even the onions—“two dry Rotis with a pinch of salt” is the North Indian shorthand for being in really dire straits).(其实,人们对真正可怕的贫穷的刻板印象是没有洋葱的饭菜——“只有放少许盐的干面包”是北印度真正窘迫生活的写照)。
