One of the best things about living in China is the food. It’s so delicious and usually very affordable, even for items that would cost an arm and a leg in the west. Our lunch was under $20 and I would imagine it would be double or triple in the states. Another similarity is that the restaurant business is extremely competitive so restaurants will come up with gimmicks to attract customers. At this fish restaurant, their gimmick is the food will be steamed at your table in seven minutes.
在中国生活的最大优势之一就是美食，它非常美味而且通常价格也很实惠，即使是在西方价值不菲的食品，在这里也不会太贵。我们的午餐不到20美元，而我想在美国可能会是它的两倍或三倍。另一个相似之处是餐厅业务极为竞争，所以餐厅会想出各种噱头来吸引客人。在这家鱼餐厅，他们的噱头是在七分钟内在您的桌子上蒸食。
