求译一文（英翻中）
What is it about Americans and food?We love to eat,but we feel guilty about it afterward.We say we want only the best,but we settle for--and even heartily enjoy--junk food.We're obsessed with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity.Perhaps the answer to this am- bivalence lies in our history.The first Europeans came to this continent searching for exotic spices.Instead,they got the lowly spud.The first cash crop wasn't eaten but smoked.Then there was Prohibition,intended to curtail drinking but actually encouraging more creative ways of doing it.
The immigrant experience,too,has been one of dissonance.After all,assimilation means eating what "real Americans" eat,but our nation's food has come to be defined by imports--pizza,say,or hot dogs.And some of the country's most treasured cuisine--southern cooking--comes from people who arrived here in shackles.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that food has been a medium for the nation's defining struggles,whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sit-ins at southern lunch counters.It is integral to our notions of health and even morality whether one abstains from alcohol for religious reasons or eschews meat for political ideals.
But strong opinions have not brought certainty.Americans are ambivalent about what they put in their mouths.We have become suspicious of our foods,especially as we learn more about what they contain.
And yet,the ritual of food still thrives in the American consciousness.It's no coincidence,then,that the first Thanksgiving holds the American imagination in such thrall.As the following stories show,it's what we eat--and how we share it with friends,family,and strangers--that help define America as a community today.

美国和食品有何相关?我们喜欢吃东西,但事后往往会内疚,我们常说我们要最好的,但我们却常追求并很喜欢吃那种垃圾食品.我们迷恋健康和减肥,但却被空前流行的肥胖困扰着.也许这个答案在历史中就有.古人一到大陆就开始寻找食物,然而,得到的是小锄.第一种商品作物是玉米,但却是烤着吃的.然后是禁令饮酒,但最后却是鼓励产酒居多
外人移入的经验也说明了这一点.他们与其相反.毕竟,同化意味着吃“美国人真正吃的东西”,但我们国家的食物进口却受到禁止.比如皮萨或热狗.并还有国人引以为傲的南方烹调,来自于受禁锢的人们.
也许国家的反动的发起经常在餐馆也就不足为奇了.不管是在波士顿,海上运茶事件,还是南方反动武装,不论是健康,还是谦虚的品质,也不论是一个人回为一些因素引酒过度,甚至因为政治原因而吃肉过多,这些都是国家的品质之一.
但是更主要得还没有实现.美国人过人注重吃的是什么.我们对自己的食品变得多疑起来,特别是在知道食物里的成分是什么以后
但是,在美国的潜意识里,这些垃圾食物还是占一定地的,这与美国人的感恩节的举行,但仍患想着受奴役并不一致.接下来的故事,我们要讲述的是我们吃的是什么－我们如何将其与朋友,家人和陌生人一同发享.－－并由此定义当今美国为一个团体性质的国家
