1. 1舒芙蕾(法式蛋奶烤點心,出爐後很快塌掉;台灣甜點店直接用「舒芙蕾」)

    A baked dish, French in origin, made from a thick base of eggs, flour and milk mixed with beaten egg , so that the air trapped in the makes it swell high above the dish in the oven and come out light and puffy. It can be savoury — cheese, , mushroom — or sweet, with chocolate, lemon or fruit, in which case it is a dessert.

    A baked dish一種烤菜,French in origin源自法國,made from a thick base of eggs, flour and milk用蛋、麵粉和牛奶做成濃稠的基底 mixed with beaten egg whites混入打發的蛋白,so that the air trapped in the whites蛋白裡困住的空氣 makes it swell high above the dish in the oven讓它在烤箱裡膨脹得比容器還高 and come out light and puffy出爐時輕盈蓬鬆。It它 can be savoury可以是鹹的——cheese, spinach, mushroom起司、菠菜、蘑菇口味——or sweet也可以是甜的,with chocolate, lemon or fruit加巧克力、檸檬或水果,in which case這時候 it is a dessert它就是一道甜點。

    The important cultural fact is that a soufflé is fragile: it must be eaten straight from the oven, and it sinks within minutes as it cools, and a bang of the oven door or an opened door too early can it. Because of that, English uses it as a picture for anything impressive that collapses easily — 'the whole plan was a soufflé', 'his confidence sank like a soufflé.' Cooks also use it as a byword for difficulty: making one is a test of skill.

    The important cultural fact重要的文化常識 is that a soufflé is famously fragile是,soufflé以嬌貴出名:it must be eaten straight from the oven一定要一出爐就馬上吃,and it sinks within minutes as it cools一冷卻幾分鐘內就會塌陷,and a bang of the oven door or an opened door too early烤箱門用力一關,或太早打開烤箱門 can flatten it都會讓它變扁。Because of that正因為這樣,English英文 uses it as a picture for anything impressive that collapses easily把它拿來比喻任何看起來很厲害、卻很容易垮掉的東西——'the whole plan was a soufflé'「the whole plan was a soufflé」(整個計畫就像一個soufflé)、'his confidence sank like a soufflé.'「his confidence sank like a soufflé」(他的信心像soufflé一樣塌了)。Cooks廚師 also use it as a byword for difficulty也用它來代表困難:making one做出一個soufflé is a test of skill是一項技術考驗。

    The accent on the final e is normally kept in careful writing, and the word is said 'soo-FLAY' with the stress at the end, French-style. Plural is soufflés.

    The accent on the final e最後那個e上面的重音符號 is normally kept in careful writing在講究的寫法裡通常會保留,and the word is said這個字的唸法是 'soo-FLAY'「soo-FLAY」with the stress at the end重音在最後,French-style走法式風格。Plural複數 is soufflés是soufflés。
