课文讲解
When trying to grab your first cone of Turkish ice cream, you’ll likely find it slipping through your fingers. This special treat, known as dondurma, is served by men who like to entertain their customers before feeding them. The vendors use long metal paddles to stir and scoop the sticky ice cream, but also to tease. With one quick move of the paddle, the ice cream cone becomes either empty, upside down, or just out of reach.
当试着要抓住你的第一筒土耳其冰淇淋时，你非常有可能发现它从你指间滑走。这个被称作dondurma的奇特美食，由喜欢在喂食顾客前娱乐他们一下的摊贩贩卖。摊贩们使用长条金属搅棒搅拌、舀出黏稠冰淇淋，并顺便逗人。随着搅棒快速一闪，冰淇淋筒不是变得空空如也就是上下颠倒，或是根本让你构不到。
Dondurma sellers are so skilled at fooling people that each sale looks like a magic trick. They can spin the ice cream around without it flying off because of two special ingredients: salep flour and mastic gum. These additions make dondurma stretchy and slow-melting.
Dondurma的摊贩极度擅长耍人，因此每次贩卖都宛如一场魔术。他们能够自如地转动冰淇淋且不让它们飞离，关键在以下两种特别的原料－兰茎粉和乳香胶。这些添加物能使dondurma具延展性并不那么快融化。
As people attempt to snatch dondurma, they can’t help but look forward to finally tasting this sweet dessert. Since it is slow to melt, Turkish ice cream also keeps its taste in the mouth just a little longer. Try to get your hands on this fun and delicious treat before summer ends.
在人们试图抓取dondurma的同时，他们不禁期待最终品尝到这道甜点。因为融化得慢，土耳其冰淇淋的滋味也能在口中停留更久。在夏天结束前，试着抓住这乐趣和美味兼具的美食吧！
