Hello everyone, and welcome to ``At Your Service"! Our special guest today is performing artist Zhao Xiaoshan. Happy New Year, Mr. Zhao!
B 新年好！觀眾朋友們，新春愉快，給大家拜個晚年！
xīnniánhǎo! guānzhòng péngyǒumen, xīnchūnyúkuài, gěi dàjiā bài ge wǎnnián!
Happy New Year! Hi everyone, and happy New Year! Let me wish you all a belated Happy New Year!
A 趙老師，您喜歡吃醋嗎？
Zhào lǎoshī, nín xǐhuan chīcù ma?
Mr. Zhao, do you like to eat vinegar?
B 喲，你這問題可夠尖銳的，讓我覺得有弦外之音啊！吃醋嘛，要看是鎮江香醋還是山西老陳醋，是蘋果醋還是梅子醋，還要看是做糖醋排骨還是西湖醋魚，還得講究……
yō, nǐ zhè wèntí kě gòu jiānruì de, ràng wǒ juéde yǒu xiánwàizhīyīn a! chīcù ma, yào kàn shì Zhènjiāng xiāngcù hái shì Shānxī lǎochéncù, shì píngguǒ cù hái shì méizǐ cù, háiyàokàn shì zuò tángcùpáigǔ hái shì xīhúcùyú, hái děi jiǎngjiu......
Oh, that's a sharp question! I feel like you're implying something! Vinegar...well, that depends whether it's aged Zhenjiang vinegar, or rice vinegar from Shanxi, if it's apple vinegar or plum vinegar, and then you have to see whether you're making sweet-and-sour pork or West Lake-style fish. And then you have to look at--
A 得得得，趙老師，不愧是老前輩，沒讓我給繞進去。其實今天我們的話題就是“醋的妙用”。您平時有什麼關於吃醋的小竅門嗎？
dédédé, Zhào lǎoshī, bùkuì shì lǎoqiánbèi, méi ràng wǒ gěi rào jìnqù. qíshí jīntiān wǒmen de huàtí jiùshì `` cù de miàoyòng" . nín píngshí yǒu shénme guānyú chīcù de xiǎo qiàomén ma?
Alright, Mr. Zhao. There's no denying you're an old hand at this. You didn't get taken in by me! Actually, our topic today is ``The Incredible Uses of Vinegar." What little tricks for eating vinegar do you use ordinarily?
B 這個嘛，做菜的時候稍微放點醋，不但可以提鮮，還能避免菜裡的維生素C被破壞。還有被魚刺卡到喉嚨時，喝點醋，可以軟化魚刺，然後和食物一起嚥下去。
zhège ma, zuòcài de shíhou shāowēi fàng diǎn cù, bùdàn kěyǐ tíxiān, hái néng bìmiǎn cài lǐ de wéishēngsù C bèi pòhuài. háiyǒu bèi yúcì qiǎdào hóulóng shí, hē diǎn cù, kěyǐ ruǎnhuà yúcì, ránhòu hé shíwù yīqǐ yàn xiàqù.
Well...when you're cooking, you can add a little vinegar. Not only does it make the food seem more savory, it can also prevent the Vitamin C in the food from getting broken down. And when you choke on a fish bone, if you drink a bit of vinegar you can soften the bone, and you'll be able to swallow it with the food.
A 喲，看來您是個吃醋專家啊！那我可得考考你了，這個醋除了用於吃以外，還有什麼用途呢？
yō, kànlai nín shì ge chīcù zhuānjiā a! nà wǒ kě děi kǎokao nǐ le, zhège cù chúle yòngyú chī yǐwài, háiyǒu shénme yòngtú ne?
Oh, looks like you're really an expert at eating vinegar! Well, then, I have to give you a little test-- other than eating vinegar, what else can you do with it?
B 這個醋啊，還是我們生活中的小幫手。它能用來消毒。在流感季節，關閉房間門窗，把醋用小鍋加熱蒸發，能殺滅空氣中的病菌。用醋來擦拭金屬器皿，能夠光亮如新。暖水瓶裡的水垢也可以用醋來清除。
zhège cù a, hái shì wǒmen shēnghuó zhōng de xiǎo bāngshou. tā néng yònglái xiāodú. zài liúgǎnjìjié , guānbì fángjiān ménchuāng, bǎ cù yòng xiǎoguō jiārè zhēngfā, néng shāmiè kōngqì zhōng de bìngjūn. yòng cù lái cāshì jīnshǔ qìmǐn, nénggòu guāngliàng rúxīn. nuǎnshuǐpíng lǐ de shuǐgòu yě kěyǐ yòng cù lái qīngchú.
Let me see...vinegar is really a great little helper. It can disinfect things. During flu season, when your doors and windows are shut, use a little pot to evaporate some vinegar and you'll be able to kill off the bacteria in the air. You can wipe off metallic things with vinegar, and they'll sparkle like new. You can also use vinegar to clean out your thermos.
A 佩服，佩服啊！大家一定想知道為什麼這小小的醋會有這麼多的用途吧。其實呢，醋的主要成分是醋酸。
pèifú, pèifú ā! dàjiā yīdìng xiǎng zhīdào wèishénme zhè xiǎoxiǎo de cù huì yǒu zhème duō de yòngtú ba. qíshí ne, cù de zhǔyào chéngfèn shì cùsuān.
Wow, I really admire your knowledge! I'm sure everyone wants to know how vinegar could have so many uses! Actually, the main ingredient in vinegar is acetic acid.
B 唉，說了這麼多醋的妙用，我們好像還落下了一個很重要的功效。
ái, shuōle zhème duō cù de miàoyòng, wǒmen hǎoxiàng hái làxià le yī ge hěn zhòngyào de gōngxiào.
Oh, talking about the incredible uses of vinegar, it looks like we left out one of its most important effects!
A 沒錯，那就是醋有很好的保健功效。今天我就和趙老師一起向大家，特別是中老年朋友們，介紹醋蛋的做法和吃法。醋蛋可以軟化血管，對動脈硬化，高血壓有很好的療效，還能增強免疫力。
méicuò, nà jiùshì cù yǒu hěn hǎo de bǎojiàn gōngxiào. jīntiān wǒ jiù hé Zhào lǎoshī yīqǐ xiàng dàjiā, tèbié shì zhōnglǎonián péngyǒumen, jièshào cùdàn de zuòfǎ hé chīfǎ. cùdàn kěyǐ ruǎnhuà xuèguǎn, duì dòngmàiyìnghuà, gāoxuèyā yǒu hěn hǎo de liáoxiào, hái néng zēngqiáng miǎnyìlì.
That's right-- vinegar is good for maintaining good health! Today, Mr. Zhao and I would like tell everyone, especially the middle-aged or elderly people out there, how to make and eat pickled eggs. Pickled eggs can soften your blood vessels, so they're effective against hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure. They can also improve your immunity.
B 女性朋友也請注意了，醋蛋還能美容減肥，使皮膚變得又白又嫩！總之這醋啊，還是應該多吃，呵呵！
nǚxìng péngyou yě qǐng zhùyì le, cùdàn hái néng měiróng jiǎnféi, shǐ pífū biànde yòu bái yòu nèn! zǒngzhī zhè cù a, hái shì yīnggāi duō chī, hēhē!
And, ladies, pickled eggs make your skin white and tender, while making you slimmer and more beautiful! In a word, you should eat more vinegar, ha ha!
