Whenever I feel lonely, I have a secret recipe that never fails : rice, milk and sugar, cooked low and slow. No matter how bad my mood is, that perfect combination is always enough to lift my spirits. Sometimes the smell alone can do the trick, not to mention the lovely creamy flavour, which works like a time machine immediately transporting me back to my sunny childhood.
每当感到孤独，我都有一个屡试不爽的秘方：大米、牛奶和糖，小火慢炖。不论我情绪有多差, 那种绝妙的组合都总能令我振奋精神。有时候仅仅闻一闻味儿就能奏效, 更不要说那美妙、细腻的口感了, 它像一台时光机, 立即将我带回欢乐的童年。

It is hardest to give up the food that you grow up with. Of course, each person’s comfort food largely depends on where they come from—for a Chinese it might be a plate of dumplings with a saucer of vinegar, and for a native of the UK it might be the classic fish and chips, served hot, salty and sour.
从小吃到大的食物最难割舍。当然，每个人的治愈系食物（是什么）很大程度上取决于他们来自何方——对一个中国人来说，可能是一盘饺子配上一碟醋；而对一个土生土长的英国人来说，则可能是经典的炸鱼薯条，热腾腾地端上来，咸中带酸。
