十二道書味
The Book and Beyond

食物制造的乐趣与文学引起的激情一样永恒。传统的食材跨越时空,
辗转不同疆土,既是不同文化的传承与见证。也因社会革新与技术进步而不断焕发生机。
正如古老的书籍,历久弥新。每次阅读都能为心灵输送养分。每一次品尝美食,都是在与整个人类文明史对话。

The pleasure offered by food is as eternal as the passion aroused by literature.Traditional ingredients, from across time and space, have passed over different territories, not only inheriting and witnessing different cultures, but also being constantly revitalized because of social innovation and technological progress. They are everlasting, just as ancient books are. Just as reading each time delivers nutrients to the soul, tasting food each time talks with the entire history of human civilization.

《傲慢与偏见》
[英]简·奥斯汀
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
by Jane Austen

《傲慢与偏见》是英国女小说家简·奥斯汀的代表作。小说讲述了乡绅之女伊丽莎白·班内特的爱情故事。这部作品以日常生活为素材,以反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法,生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。

"Pride and Prejudice" is the masterpiece of British novelist Jane Austen. The novel tells the love story of Elizabeth Bennett, the squire's daughter. This work is to reflect the life and customs of the English villages and towns in a conservative and closed state from the end of 18th century to the beginning of 19th century based on daily life. It is a novel against the sentimental mood that was popular in the society at that time and written in artificial writing method.
