最近中国的有钱人爱上了世界三大火腿之一——西班牙火腿。西班牙火腿很贵，没有吃过的人不能理解，但吃过的人都会赞叹它是人间美味，贵得有道理。正因为中国人的胃口太好了，火腿存货不足导致价格一涨再涨，害得西班牙人过圣诞节都快买不起了。 Having discovered the joys of French wine, caviar and truffles, China’s new rich are turning to a new gourmet delicacy to satisfy their demand for luxury goods from the west: Spain’s jamón ibérico, or Iberian ham. But demand is now threatening to outstrip supply, leaving Spaniards facing steep price rises in their most prized Christmas delicacy. 继法国葡萄酒、鱼子酱和松露之后，热爱西方奢侈品的中国新富们又爱上了一种新美味——西班牙的伊比利亚火腿。但是，由于需求过旺导致供不应求，现在西班牙人不得不眼睁睁地看着他们最重要的圣诞美食价格飞涨。 The recent lifting of import restrictions has allowed top-of-the-range ham to find its “rightful place in the market, alongside caviar and truffles”, René Lemée, the head of exports for the famous Cinco Jotas brand, told El País newspaper. 著名的伊比利亚火腿品牌Cinco Jotas的出口部负责人勒内•雷米告诉《国家报》说，前不久中国取消了伊比利亚火腿的进口限制，让这一顶级火腿找到了自己“在市场上和鱼子酱、松露比肩的合理位置”。 |
