Toad-in-the-hole(洞中)
Toad-in-the-hole is a traditional British dish. It consists of(包括) sausages(香肠,腊肠) in a Yorkshire pudding mix,(约克郡布甸) usually served with vegetables. The origin(起源) of the dish’s name isn’t quite clear, but a common explanation is that it gets its name because it resembles(像;相似,类似) a toad(蟾蜍) sticking its head out of a hole.(把头伸出洞外)。

Sample
Last summer,I stayed with a British host family. One day, I was really surprised when Jeremy, the son of the family, told me that we would have a toad-in-the-hole for dinner. I wasn't sure whether we were going to eat a real toad in a hole. If so, how terrible! I joined them at dinner time with butterflies in my stomach. To my astonishment, a dish of sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding (a mix that tastes a bit like pancakes) was served on the table, and it tasted delicious. It turned out that toad-in-the-hole is a typical dish for a British dinner, and there's no toad! What a amazing experience! It was interesting to try such yummy(美味的)food with a strange name.
去年夏天,我住在一个英国寄宿家庭。有一天,当家里的儿子杰里米告诉我我们晚餐要吃烤洞蟾蜍时,我真的很惊讶。我不确定我们是否会吃一只真正的洞里的蟾蜍。如果是这样,那是多么可怕啊!我和他们一起吃晚饭,心里七上八下的。令我惊讶的是,一盘用约克郡布丁(一种尝起来有点像煎饼的混合物)烹制的香肠被端上了桌子,尝起来很美味。事实证明,洞里蟾蜍是英国晚餐的一道典型菜,而且没有蟾蜍!多么奇妙的经历啊!品尝这种名字奇怪的美味(美味的)食物很有趣。
