For the last five years, she's beenattending tourism trade shows to meet with operators of Chinese tours and touther properties and the local activities. Other than translate a few brochuresand a local promotional video into Mandarin, she said she doesn't have to domuch to cater to the Chinese crowd. She used to serve a classic Chinesebreakfast -- a kind of rice porridge known as congee -- but she said herChinese guests clamored for bacon and eggs.
在过去的5年中，她都在参加旅游展览，与中国旅游的经营者会面，推销她的酒店和当地特色活动。除了把一些旅游宣传册和一个当地的宣传视频翻译成中文外，她说根本就不用再做其他事情来迎合中国大众。她过去经常给中国游客提供古典的中式早餐——也就是稀饭——可是她的中国游客大呼要吃咸肉煎蛋。

"They ooh and aah over the littlepacks of jelly," she said. "They don't want to be treated like Chinese.They want the full American experience."
“他们对那种小包的果酱赞美不已。他们不想吃中国食物。他们想体验完全美国式的生活。”
