Luxi Posted July 25, 2018 at 06:24 PM Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 at 06:24 PM Did you know that Fuchsia Dunlop's "Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper: A sweet-sour memoir of eating in China" has been translated to Chinese? It's in Douban as: 鱼翅与花椒 作者：扶霞·邓洛普（Fuchsia Dunlop） https://read.douban.com/ebook/54350652/?icn=index-topic It has a rating of 8.4 points among Douban's readers, which is really high. Very well done! You can read a generous 2-chapters preview in Douban's e-books site. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted July 26, 2018 at 12:46 AM Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 at 12:46 AM I didn't know, @Luxi. Thanks. Such a good book. Lots of perceptive insights about China in addition to cooking and food lore. Read it once a couple years ago, maybe I'll try it again now in the original language.

Jim Posted July 26, 2018 at 05:20 AM Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 at 05:20 AM Proto-Indo-European; we struggle to identify a language more original than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibu Posted July 27, 2018 at 04:14 AM Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 at 04:14 AM nice book, thanks Luxi. I will read the Chinese version , who would take the English version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibu Posted July 28, 2018 at 04:54 AM Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 at 04:54 AM the Chinese version is very well translated, like a Sichuan local writer , then a English woman showed up in 10 mins, LOL. I am on the section of 庖丁解牛 now, wondering how she translated this into English, who have the English version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChTTay Posted July 28, 2018 at 06:17 AM Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 at 06:17 AM It was written in English ... then recently translated into Chinese ? I imagine it was professionally translated into Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
