在西方人心目中，和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来，大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位，以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻，人们通常以大米为食;而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥，无法种植水稻，那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国，有些人用面粉做面包，但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。
In the eyes of Westerners, the basic food that is the closest contact with China is rice. For a long time, rice in Chinese people's diet occupy very important position that proverb says "make bricks without straw", South China mostly cultivated rice, people usually take the rice as the staple food; and most of North China because it is too cold and dry to grow rice, where the main crop is wheat. In China, some people make bread with flour, but most people make bread and noodles with flour.
点评：
1.词汇点评：本篇翻译中国特有的词汇考查较多，比如大米和水稻(rice)、小麦(wheat)、面粉(flour)、馒头(steamed bread)、面条(noodles)。
2.谚语考察：这是今年最难的一句话，因为上下文限制，最恰当的翻译必须翻出rice，这就意味着不能意译，但是“巧妇”的处理需要稍加解释(clever housewife)。
3.语法考查：最高级、无主句、对比关系(两处)等考察也是年年必考，同学们备考时这些语法点要多加练习。
In the eyes of the western, the basic food closest to China isrice. Rice has long occupied so significant a position in the dietof Chinese that there is a proverb “ Even a clever housewife cannotcook a meal without rice”. Rice is grown mostly in southern Chinawhere people usually take rice as their staple food, while itcannot be planted in northern China where the climate is either toocold or too dry for rice to grow. As a result, the main crop in thenorth is wheat. In China, flour is sometimes the main ingredientfor bread but more often used to make buns and noodles。
第一句，简单句;第二句如此以至于结构“so... that…"注意so的用法，直接接adj. 或adv。第三句南北对比，可以用while或whereas连接，最后一句也是对比句，主语people是比较泛的大主语，考虑改写为被动句。
