在西方人心目中,和中國(guó)聯(lián)系最為密切的基本食物是大米。長(zhǎng)期以來(lái),大米在中國(guó)人的飲食中占據(jù)很重要的地位,以至于有諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)“巧婦難為無(wú)米之炊”。中國(guó)南方大多數(shù)種植水稻,人們通常以大米為主食;而華北大部分地區(qū)因?yàn)檫^(guò)于寒冷或過(guò)于干燥,無(wú)法種植水稻,那里的主要作物是小麥。在中國(guó),有些人用面粉做面包,但大多數(shù)人用面粉做饅頭和面條。

In the eyes of Westerners, the basic food that is most closely connected with China is rice. For a long time, rice plays a very important role in Chinese people's diet .There is a very famous proverb goes like this: Even a clever woman [housewife] cannot cook a meal without rice(You cannot make bricks without straw). Most rice is grown in southern China and people usually eat rice as staple food. While it is too cold or too dry to grow rice in most areas of northern China , the main crop is wheat. In China, some people make bread with flour, but most people use it to make steamed buns and noodles。
