《赞美洋葱》：美食讴歌

1. 啊，你那长而细的叶子，带着蜡质的绿色条纹，懒洋洋地向着球状的底部弯曲。

2. 啊，你那辛辣而刺鼻的香气，毫无羞耻感地刺入我的鼻腔！

3. 当我探索你身体的每一层时，新的问题从我意识的奇异土壤中浮现出来。

4. 例如，"蔬菜有多有活力？或者"洋葱实际上意味着什么？"

5. 一层又一层地蚕食你，我大胆地提出这样的问题。

6. 还有什么比烹饪哲学更振奋人心？

劳尔：为什么这位作者在加沙、黎巴嫩、乌克兰和苏丹的人们正在死去的时候写洋葱？

玛雅：也许这是一种逃避现实的方式。直面世界的现实不是太痛苦了吗？

塔拉：这是常说的。你认为有必要在一定程度上把我们与世界的严酷现实隔离开来吗？

荷西：好吧，有些人似乎深深地作茧自缚，以至于对周围的苦难视而不见。这不就是一个平衡问题吗？

In praise of onions: a culinary eulogy

1. Ah, how your long, slender leaves with waxy strands of green curve down lazily towards a bulbous base.
2. Oh, your olfactory overloads of peppery, piquant pungency prick my nostrils with no sense of shame!
3. Exploring each layer of your body, new questions rise up from the strange soil of my consciousness.
4. Questions such as, "How vibrant can vegetables be? or "What does being an onion actually mean?"
5. Nibbling on you layer after layer, I ask such questions boldly.
6. What's more zingy than culinary philosophy?

Raúl: Why is this author writing about onions while people in Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine, and Sudan are dying?
Maya: Perhaps it is a form of escapism. Isn't the reality of the world too painful to confront head-on?
Tara: It is often said.
Do you think some degree of cocooning is necessary to insulate us from the harsh realities of the world?
José: Well, some people seem to deeply cocooned that they're oblivious to the suffering around them.
Doesn't it boil down to a question of balance?
