课文讲解
After the long plane ride to Penang, Bourdain recovers with the help of a bowl of spicy wonton noodles. The moment causes the host to reflect on what has brought him to the region: “This part of the world really messed me up. It’s the condiments here, the chilies. Once you have that, there’s no going back.” As proof of his addiction to hot food, Bourdain consumes spicy sauces throughout the entire episode.
在飞往槟城岛的长途航程后，一碗辣馄饨面帮助波登恢复了精神，也让这位主持人回想起是什么因素使他来到这个地区。「世界的这一处真把我搞乱了。就是这调味料－辣椒。一旦你尝过，就再也回不去了。」波登整集节目中都在吃辣酱，就是他对辛辣食物上瘾的证明。
On a brief trip outside the city, Bourdain and a few local friends visit a restaurant with no menu. The chefs there cook whatever people bring in. On this occasion, Bourdain and his fellow travelers dine on a wonderful display of fish, prawns, and crabs with curry.
到市区外短暂一游时，波登和几位当地的朋友造访了一家没有菜单的餐厅。那里的厨师熊烹调客人带来的任何食材。波登和他的同伴在这里享用了一顿佐以咖哩的鱼、虾和螃蟹的飨宴。
In the capital city of Georgetown, we see the cuisines associated with Penang’s three main ethnic groups: Malaysian, Chinese, and Indian. Crowded food courts bring these influences together. Some vendors use special sauces that are old family secrets. Bourdain’s fire-proof tongue is tested here by one cook’s extremely spicy fish head curry. To see how he swallows this challenge and many more, you’ve got to see No Reservations yourself.
在首府乔治敦，我们可以看到和槟城岛上三个主要种族－马来人、华人及印度人－相关的菜肴。拥挤的美食区将这些影响汇集在一起。有些小贩使用家传秘方制成的特殊酱料，波登的「防火舌」受到此处一位厨师所烹煮超辣鱼头咖哩的挑战。想看他如何将这道挑战和更多的挑战吞下肚，你一定要亲自收看《波登不设限》。
