在英語(yǔ)中，“粥”的說(shuō)法不止porridge。
你知道各種粥的區别嗎？
1、porridge /'pɔrɪdʒ/
我們在課文裏學到的“粥”的基本英文就是porridge。朗文詞(cí)典對其解釋爲：soft cereal that is cooked with milk or water，更貼近於(yú)我們理解的燕麥粥 。
2、gruel /'ɡruəl/
Gruel也是粥 ，不過(guò)指“稀粥”，特别是過(guò)去窮(qióng)人或病人吃的一種稀薄的粥 ：thin oatmeal that was eaten in the past by poor or sick people。
They are fed a few grains of rice boiled into gruel a couple of times a day.
他們每天隻吃幾(jǐ)次用很少大米煮成的稀飯(fàn)。
3、congee /ˈkɑːn.dʒi/
Congee一詞有些詞典並(bìng)沒有收錄 ，劍橋詞典對其解釋爲：a kind of thick Chinese soup made with rice，更好理解的翻譯是“大米粥”，即我們中國傳(chuán)統意義上的粥。
Congee is often eaten with fried bread sticks known as youtiao.
大米粥常配油條吃 。
Porridge is a dish of any boiled grain, gruel is a very thin porridge, and congee is a specific type of porridge made using rice. porridge
可以是任何谷物煮的粥，gruel是非常稀的粥，而congee就是大米煮的粥 。因爲(wèi)
我們(men)的粥大多以米爲底，所以congee也就脫穎而出，菜單(dān)上大多數都是它。
