進入《中英對照讀新聞》Snacking on a wing and a prayer 禱告吃辣翅
◎ 魏國金
A Chicago tavern said it will begin selling chicken wings coated in one of the world’s hottest peppers--a dish so hot that patrons first have to sign a waiver agreeing not to sue for injuries.
芝加哥一間小酒館指出，將開始賣一種塗上堪稱世界上最嗆辣椒的雞翅—這道菜太過辛辣，因此顧客首先必須簽字，同意放棄法律追訴權。
Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap said the wings made with Red Savina pepper will be served with an alarm bell for patrons to summon waiters with sour cream, milk sugar and white bread if things get out of hand.
「傑克．梅爾尼克的街角酒塞」指出，這道以墨西哥沙維那紅辣椒烹煮出的雞翅餐，上菜時將一併給顧客一只警鈴，以便事態失控時，可以召喚服務生提供酸奶油、乳糖與白麵包。
Levy Restaurants, which owns the tavern, said its chef d’Cuisine Robin Rosenberg had been working on the concept for years but was never sure he’d be able to serve it.
旗下擁有該酒館的列維飯店表示，主廚羅賓．羅森伯格的這個點子已經醞釀多年，不過未曾確定能否端出這道菜。
"This isn’t the right sauce for everyone, but for someone out there, this is going to be absolute heaven. Of course, for a handful of people, it’s going to be hell," he said.
「這不是適合每人口味的醬料，不過對於上門的一些人，這絕對是天堂美味，當然，對一些人來說，它將猶如令人置身煉獄，」他說。
