今天我们来聊一种纽约特有的饮料,它是治疗老李(Lou Reed)童年阴影的“蛋奶星星”。
|Egg Cream怎么做?|
When I was a young man, no bigger than this
当我还是个年轻人的时候,还没这么高
A chocolate egg cream was not to be missed
绝对不想错过一杯巧克力味的蛋奶油
Some U-Bet&`&s Chocolate Syrup, Seltzer water mixed with milk
一些U-Bet牌巧克力糖浆、Seltzer苏打水和牛奶混在一起
(注意顺序:先混合苏打水和牛奶,再加巧克力酱才能保证出白色泡沫哦)
Stir it up into a heady fro, tasted just like silk
搅拌它,放到有旋转吸管的杯子里,尝起来丝般柔滑
(heady fro,和阿拉伯人抽水烟的水烟枪很像。)
You scream, I steam, we all want Egg Cream
你尖叫,我做饭,我们都爱蛋奶油
|Egg Cream去哪喝?|
Now you can go to Junior&`&s, Dave&`&s on Canal St.
你可以去运河街上的Junior&`&s和Dave&`&s喝
And I think there&`&s Ken&`&s in Boston
我觉得波士顿的Ken&`&s也会有
There must be something in L.A.
洛杉矶肯定也有卖的店
But Becky&`&s on Kings Highway, was the Egg Cream of choice
但是国王大道上的Becky&`&s,才是最正确的选择
(Becky&`&s可能已经关门了,没有找到图片。下面这张是家Brooklyn老式的甜品店,还能点到Egg Cream。Lou Reed去过的Becky&`&s,大概也是这个样子。)
And if you don&`&t believe me, go ask any of the boys
如果你不信我,去街上随便问个小子(他会告诉你Becky&`&s是最好喝的一家)
You scream, I steam, we all want Egg Cream
你尖叫,我做饭,我们都爱蛋奶油

The only good thing I remember about P.S.92
在P.S.92学校我记起来的唯一一件好事情
Was the Egg Cream served at Becky&`&s
就是Becky&`&s卖的蛋奶油
It was a fearsome brew
它好喝到可怕
For fifty cents you got a shot,chocolate bubbles up your nose
五十美分你就可以来一杯,巧克力泡泡一直冒到你的鼻子上
That made it easier to deal with knife flights, and kids pissing in the street
让你轻易忘记街上的持刀火并和随地撒尿的小孩
You scream, I steam, we all want Egg Cream
你尖叫,我做饭,我们都爱蛋奶油
|贝姬家的最好喝|
So the next time you&`&re in Brooklyn, Please say hello for me
下次你再去布鲁克林,
At Totonno&`&s for Pizza and ice cream at Al and Shirley&`&s
向卖披萨的Totonno&`&s和卖冰淇淋的Al and Shirley&`&s 给我带个好
But mostly you go to Becky&`&s, sit in a booth and say hello
但是你一定要去Becky&`&s,坐在座位上问声好
And have two chocolate Egg Cream, one to stay and go
买两杯巧克力蛋奶油,一杯堂食一杯带走
You scream, I steam, we all want Egg Cream
你尖叫,我做饭,我们都爱蛋奶油
