“月餅切開吃還是直接吃”上熱搜:南北差異還是刻板印象?

????????中秋節(jié)要到了,網(wǎng)友們就月餅的吃法又吵了起來。
????????微博上,話題“南方人吃月餅vs北方人吃月餅”閱讀已達(dá)1.7億。

????????一則體現(xiàn)南北方人月餅不同吃法的視頻在網(wǎng)上熱傳:

A?debate is raging on Chinese social media about what's the best and?courteous?way of eating mooncakes.
月餅到底怎么吃才最得體?網(wǎng)友們進(jìn)行了一場大辯論。
????????視頻顯示,南方人會拿起刀叉,把月餅精細(xì)地切成小塊,一塊塊配茶吃,解膩;

????????而北方人則打開包裝,整塊塞進(jìn)嘴里,一秒鐘吞下,邊吃邊喝水,防噎。

Some people insist that the preferences vary from region to region. For example, the people from south China like to cut a mooncake into pieces and savor its texture while people from the north like to eat as it is, wondering why some people would cut a mooncake.
有些人認(rèn)為,不同地區(qū)的人的習(xí)慣不同。例如,南方人喜歡把月餅切成塊來品嘗其細(xì)膩的口感,而北方人則喜歡整個吃,不理解為什么有人會切月餅。
????????北方小哥“一口悶”的吃月餅方式雖然搞笑,雙語君的北方同事對此感到十分親切,從小到大印象中,身邊人大部分是直接拿起來吃,幾乎不會用刀叉。
????????評論區(qū)也有不少人表示認(rèn)同:



????????但也有人提出異議認(rèn)為,南方人也會直接吃,北方人也能切開跟家人分享著吃:





????????對此,@中國日報(bào) 在微博上發(fā)起投票,截至發(fā)稿前,已有4.2萬人參與,其中2.5萬人選擇“拿起來直接吃”。

China Daily?conducted an online poll on Weibo, where?59.5%?chose to?eat?a mooncake?up straight?while 19.3%?preferred?to?cut it into pieces?before eating.

????????總的來說,月餅吃法風(fēng)格各異,但以南北方劃分并不合理。
The idea?originates from a Chinese stereotype—people?from the?north?is more straightforward while people from the south is usually?reserved and likes to enjoy every bit of life.?
這種想法源于一種刻板印象——北方人比較直率,而南方人通常比較矜持,喜歡享受生活的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴。
????????月餅怎么吃,還是得分情況,有的月餅如蘇式月餅、北方的酥餅,確實(shí)可以一口一個,切開反而餡還容易碎。而那些又實(shí)又甜的月餅,人們大多選擇切開分著吃,也蘊(yùn)含著團(tuán)圓之意。

However, some don't really agree with the "geography theory," they believe that how one would eat a mooncake actually depends on its size while others say that it may have a connection with the person's age.?
然而,有些人并不真的同意“地理劃分論”,人們怎么吃月餅實(shí)際上取決于月餅的大小,還有人認(rèn)為這與年紀(jì)也有關(guān)系。
????????爭論的背后,是對不變的傳統(tǒng)的守候。你怎么吃月餅?zāi)兀?/p>
