用不好筷子是不少美国人享用中餐的一块心病，但现在他们好像找到了能挽救自己尴尬的“神器”。 Remember the sporks of your childhood cafeteria days? The spoon-fork combo utensil was just spoon-like enough to make spear your food way too hard, and just fork-like enough to give you a nice stab in the tongue. 还记得童年时期小餐厅里的叉勺吗？这种把勺子和叉子结合在一起的餐具状似勺子切不开坚硬的食物，状似叉子又恰好会戳到你的舌头。 Well folks, there’s a new sheriff in town, and its name is “chork.” This Frankenstein’s monster of hybrid cutlery features a fork on one end and chopsticks on the other. It’s a perfect solution for the many Americans who start their meal with chopsticks, get frustrated halfway through, and ditch them for a fork. 大家注意了，现在又来了一位“新主”，它就是“筷叉”。这种怪异的混合餐具的一头是叉子、一头是筷子。对许多美国人来说，这是他们学习用筷子用餐的完美方式，他们都曾半途而废，继续求救“叉子”。 |
