2024考研英语同源外刊:印度美食的必备现在消失了

From butter chicken to paneer makhani, Indian cuisine is unthinkable without the ubiquitous tomato. But the culinary staple is now off the menu at homes and restaurants across the country after prices soared by more than 400% due to crop failures following scorching heat waves and heavy rains, according to farmers and agriculture experts. A kilogram (2.2 pounds) of tomatoes sold in the capital New Delhi this week cost 138 rupees ($1.68), a startling fivefold jump from the 27 rupees ($0.33) recorded in January, according to data from the Department of Consumer Affairs.

从黄油鸡到印度奶酪羹，没有无处不在的番茄，印度菜是不可想象的。但据农民和农业专家称，由于热浪和暴雨导致农作物歉收，这种主要食物现在已经从全国各地的家庭和餐馆的菜单上消失了，因为价格飙升了400%以上。根据消费者事务部的数据，本周在首都新德里出售的每公斤西红柿售价为138卢比(1.68美元)，惊人地上涨到1月份27卢比(0.33美元)价格的5倍。

Asha, a homemaker in the capital who asked to be referred to only by her first name, told CNN the increase has hit her seven-member family hard. She uses tomatoes in almost every dishes she makes. “This tomato price hike is impacting us a lot,” she said. “It’s unbelievable.” “Tomatoes are an integral part of our vegetarian diet … [but] these past couple of days, I am conscious about what I am cooking because it’s so expensive.”

阿莎是首都的一名家庭主妇(她在接受采访时要求只透露她的名)，她告诉CNN，涨价对她一家七口人来说打击很大。她做的每道菜几乎都用西红柿。“西红柿价格上涨对我们影响很大，”她说。“这是难以置信的。西红柿是我们素食中不可或缺的一部分……但近期几天，我对自己做的菜很在意，因为它太贵了。”

Asha’s family isn’t the only ones affected. Some of McDonald’s (MCD) restaurants across the country have temporarily stopped serving tomatoes on their burgers, citing quality issues and shortages of supply. Connaught Plaza Restaurants, which manages the McDonald’s franchises in the north and east of India, placed signs outside impacted restaurants saying they were “not able to get adequate quantities of tomatoes which pass our world class stringent quality checks.”

受影响的不止阿莎的家人。由于质量问题和供应短缺，全国一些麦当劳餐厅暂时停止在汉堡中添加西红柿。康诺广场餐厅负责管理麦当劳在印度北部和东部的特许经营权，其在受影响的餐厅外面张贴了标语，称他们“无法获得足够数量的、能够通过我们严格质量检查的西红柿。”
