Laura: Aunt Shirley, I heard the Yuan Xiao Festival is the name for the festival. Why did it get its name?

Shirley: Well, the first lunar month is called Yuan-month, and in ancient times people called night Xiao. And you know the festival is just in the middle of the month.

Laura: Oh, I see. I also heard today is the last day for the street fair. Can’t wait to sample all the snacks.

Shirley: Sure. It’s indeed a culinary heaven which offers a wide range of delicious snacks to satisfy all tastes. Then, which one would you like?

Laura: Can you recommend some must-try?

Shirley: OK. Let’s go over there. For the Lantern Festival, you should never omit the Yuanxiao.

Laura: What’s that? It gets the name from the festival itself. That’s really funny!

Shirley: Actually, they are small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour. They are like Tangyun.

Laura: Oh, I know Tangyuan. It’s a sweet snack, good for dessert.

Shirley: Yes. And also, we can find Yuanxiao with both sweet and salty fillings.

Laura: I’d like to try the salty ones. Where does that strange smell come from?

Shirley: Oh, the smelly bean curd. My favorite!

Laura: What? You love smelly food?

Shirley: Well, the smell of it may be unpleasant, but it’s really delicious.

Laura: Really? You made me curious. I’d love to have a try now.

Shirley: Wise decision! I’m pretty sure that you will get addicted to it as soon as you try one bite.

Laura: Are you sure?

雪莉：好的，我们去那边。在元宵节，你当然不可以错过元宵啦。

罗拉：元宵是什么呢？它和节日是同一个名字哦。这可真有趣啊！

雪莉：其实呢，它们是用糯米粉做的小圆球，有点像汤圆。

罗拉：哦，汤圆我知道。它是一种甜的小吃，用来做甜点很好。

雪莉：是啊。不过我们的元宵有甜的还有咸的呢。

罗拉：我想尝一下咸的。那奇怪的味道是从哪里来的啊？

雪莉：哦，臭豆腐。我的最爱！

罗拉：什么？您喜欢臭的食物？

雪莉：这个啊，它的味道可能不好闻，但是它真的很美味。

雪莉：聪明的决定！我敢肯定你只要尝一口就会迷上它的。

罗拉：是吗？
