Today, I and father learned to do a dish —— sweet-and-sour lotus root.
今天，我和爸爸学做了一道菜——糖醋藕。
“ above all, the leather ream of lotus root. Ground of ” father leisurely says, see father skill takes lotus root only, take single-handed pare knife above apace is blown come raze, father general lotus root and pare the knife hands I, let me try. I am recalling father's action in brain, the model has appearance ground to cut rise. Be cut, father continues to say: Cut ginger below “ piece, garlic is pressed broken. Then I follow ” one pace becomes father, be done, father says again: “ cuts lotus root into now piece, can leave boiler. ” father is helping my handgrip lotus root up to cut, in lotus root but interesting, there are a lot of small holes inside, what go in to go out not to come like is labyrinthian like, still silk of a root is just as fairy to spin the clue that give together repeatedly. “ ! Is this apparently severed! I call ” almost.
“首先，将藕的皮削掉。”爸爸慢条斯理地说，只见爸爸一手拿藕，一手拿剥刀在上面快速地刮来刮去，爸爸将藕和剥刀递给我，让我试一试。我在脑海里回忆着爸爸的动作，有模有样地削起来。削完了，爸爸继续说：“下面把姜切片，大蒜摁碎。”于是我跟爸爸一步一步做，弄完了，爸爸又说：“现在把藕切成片，就可以下锅了。”爸爸扶着我的手把藕切成一片片的，藕里可有趣了，里面有许多小洞，像一个进去就出不来的迷宫似的，还有一根根丝连在一起犹如仙女纺出的线。“呀！这不是藕断丝连吗！”我几乎叫起来。
But I always cut lotus root greatly a little while, a little while full marks / cut smally, “ alas! Cut a lotus root how so difficult ah. ” I sighed at a heat.
可是我总是把藕一会切得大，一会儿满分/切得小的，“唉！切个藕怎么这么难呀。”我叹了一口气。
Had been cut, I open gas burner cautiously, enter the oil of a few, then father says: The ginger that has cut and garlic are put to fry after the oil such as “ was heated up sweet can put lotus root piece. ” I put Jiang Pian and garlic into boiler, left like scamper in boiler of “ ” same, frightening me so that resemble is mice saw recede like the cat, station of father of if it were not for is behind me, I ran early.
切好了，我小心翼翼地把煤气灶打开，倒入少许的油，接着爸爸说：“等油热了之后放入切好的姜和大蒜炒香就可以放入藕片了。”我把姜片和大蒜放入锅中，“嗞”锅里像炸开了一样，把我吓得像是老鼠看见了猫似的向后退，要不是爸爸站在我身后，我早就跑了。
My toughen one's scalp-brace oneself lotus root piece in eating boiler entirely at a draught, break up fry moment, enter soy of two spoon braise in soy sauce, one spoon to be born smoke, wait for lotus root piece to golden put candy of two spoon vinegar, 3 spoon to continue to break up fry, join a few water to come at the same time soup juice is ropy, can load dish medium.
我硬着头皮把藕片一下子全部倒进锅中，翻炒片刻，倒入两勺红烧酱油、一勺生抽，等藕片至金黄放入两勺醋、三勺糖继续翻炒，同时加入少许水至汤汁粘稠，就可以装入盘中了。
I look at the dish that I fry, in the heart but glad! But I ate, the feeling has a thick ginger taste, this is a blemish in an otherwise perfect thing really!
我看着自己炒的菜，心里可高兴啦！可是我吃了一口，感觉有一股浓浓的生姜味，这真是美中不足呀！(文/许智涵)
