Hangzhou is a culinary paradise with a large number of delicious dishes. Behind each dish, there is always a beautiful story associated with a historical figure from Hangzhou.
杭州是个拥有许多美味菜肴的人间天堂。每道菜肴背后总是有个关于杭州历史人物的美丽故事。
As a branch of Zhejiang Cuisine, one of the Eight Great Cuisines of China, Hang Bang Cai (or Hangzhou Cuisine) is characterized by freshness and sweetness. Most of the ingredients in preparing Hangzhou Cuisine are related to the West Lake, like lotus root, West Lake water shield, etc.
杭帮菜是中国八大菜系之一，浙江菜系中的一个分支，其特点是鲜甜。制作杭州菜的原料大多与西湖相关，如莲藕、西湖莼菜等。
It features a delicately seasoned and light-tasting mix of seafood and vegetables, often served in soup or with the liberal use of sugar, and a myriad of sauces. Typical cooking methods include boiling, stewing, braising, and simmering. The result is a fresh, tender, fragrant and rich flavor, either crispy or soft, but far from greasy.
杭帮菜的特点是常用海鲜和蔬菜，调味巧妙，味道清淡，常配以汤料，使用糖和酱汁。杭帮菜的典型烹饪方法包括煮、炖、烧和煨。菜品新鲜香嫩，味道浓郁，或脆或软，却不油腻。
Hangzhou dishes are varied, and almost every traditional dish is associated with famous literary quotation. Early in the Song Dynasty (970-1279), the great poet Su Shi (1037-1101) praised the banquets in Hangzhou in his poems and had once gotten down from his horse just because of the inviting smell.
杭帮菜品种多样，几乎每一道传统菜肴都与著名的诗文相关。早在宋代(970-1279)，伟大的诗人苏轼(1037-1101)就在诗中赞美杭帮菜宴席，而他本人也曾“闻香下马”。

Tips
1.This way, please.：用于引导客人的服务性用语，“请往这边走”。而作为引导用语，come this way与go this way也是有区别的。若侍者在前方带路则可用 come this way，也可以使用go this way；但若侍者在客人后面或旁边，伸手指引路径，一般就会使用please go this way。
2.make up one’s mind：意为“下决心；决定”，且与decide意思相近，两者的区别在于decide “经过询问、研讨和考虑之后作出决定”，后跟宾语从句时。make up one’s mind则侧重“下定决心、拿定主意”的意思。

2. help out：帮助某人解决困难。help out和help的区别在于，help out的对象是人，而help则可用于人或事。此外，help后可跟动词原形，但help out不行。比如：He helped us mend the car。因此，在使用help out的语境中往往可以用help来替换，而反之则不一定行得通。
3. go through the accreditation：通过注册程序。类似于奥运会，在亚运会前，每一名亚运会的与会者（运动员、教练、亚运会官员和工作人员）都必须申请注册资格。在抵达亚运会办城市后，必须激活自己的注册资格才能按规定出入比赛场所和亚运村。
