英文原文

Today, we talk about a delicious dessert, made from flour, butter, sugar, and flavorings such as vanilla, chocolate, or my favorite, coconut. We are talking about cake. Cake is a commonly served sweet treat at celebrations, and the word also appears in several English idioms. Back in 2022, we taught the idiom "to have your cake and eat it too," which means to have the best of both worlds; you do not have to choose between two good things. Another expression is "a piece of cake," which describes something that is very easy to do or finish. Because of all the sugar and butter, we probably should not eat too much cake, but it is so good, and sometimes having a lot of something good is better.

今天，我们来谈谈一种美味的甜点，它是由面粉、黄油、糖和诸如香草、巧克力或我最喜欢的椰子等调味品制成的。我们谈论的就是蛋糕。蛋糕是庆典上常见的甜食，这个词也出现在许多英语习语中。早在2022年，我们就教过习语“鱼与熊掌兼得”，意思是两者兼得，你不需要在两个好东西之间做出选择。另一个表达是“小菜一碟”，它描述的是非常容易做或完成的事情。由于蛋糕中含有大量的糖和黄油，我们可能不应该吃太多，但它太好吃了，有时候，拥有很多好东西也是更好的。
