尝味道

字幕原文

We come to know the world through our senses, 我们通过感官认识世界，

and taste is one of the most delightful. 而味觉是最令人愉悦的感官之一。

It tells us the flavors of everything we eat. 它告诉我们所吃的一切食物的味道。

There are four basic tastes, sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. 味觉有四种基本类型：甜、酸、咸和苦。

Sugar and honey are sweet, 糖和蜂蜜是甜的，

lemons are sour, 柠檬是酸的，

chips and crackers are salty, 薯片和饼干是咸的，

and a bite of dark chocolate or a banana peel is bitter. 而一口黑巧克力或香蕉皮是苦的。

Here is something surprising. Babies taste more than we do. 有件令人惊讶的事：婴儿比我们尝到更多的味道。

They are born with taste buds not only on the tongue, 他们出生时味蕾不仅长在舌头上，

but on the sides and roof of the mouth too. 还长在口腔两侧和上颚。

That is why strong flavors are so powerful to them. 这就是为什么浓烈的味道对他们来说如此强烈。

As we grow older, those taste buds slowly fade. 随着我们年龄增长，那些味蕾会慢慢消失。

So the next time a child makes a face at a new food, 所以下次当孩子对新食物做出鬼脸时，

remember, 请记住，

they are not just being difficult. 他们不只是在捣乱。

To them, the world simply tastes louder than it does to us. 对他们来说，世界的味道比我们感受到的更强烈。
