　　英譯漢

　　Well, I in my life I have tasted so many birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, and marriage cakes. But after reading the word “special cake”, there’s only one cake which I think is special. So here I would talk about it.

　　It is a red velvet cake. Red Velvet cake is a red or red-brown layer cake and this cake is usually topped with yummy cream cheese frosting. Unlike normal cakes, this cake has a blood red interior.It'ss common ingredients include buttermilk, butter, cocoa, and flour for the cake, beetroot for the colour.

　　As it is commonly served on Christmas or Valentine's Day, So I got chance to taste this cake last year.

　　I tasted this cake in a Christmas Party held at Hyatt Hotel in Ludhiana. Overall, it was a Christmas party with lots of fun and games. Hopefully, I would be going there this year also.

　　As I said earlier I tasted this cake in a party, so I had this cake with everyone who was present in the party. No doubt, majority of them were not known to me, but while celebrating, we all enjoyed the party together. I was familiar there with only one person, and that was my friend – Barack Obama.

　　Well, I believe this cake is very special. It is because for the first time in my life, I tasted a cake which was red in colour. Moreover, it was 4 tier cake. And interesting this about this cake is that Red velvet cake is colored with beets, instead of artificial food colouring. This cake is also called as “red Waldorf cake,” “red carpet cake,” “red mystery cake,” “flame cake,” and “$300 cake”.

　　好吧，在我的生活中，我已經(jīng)品嘗了那么多的生日蛋糕、周年紀(jì)念蛋糕和結(jié)婚蛋糕。但是在看了“特別蛋糕”這個(gè)詞之后，我認(rèn)為只有一個(gè)蛋糕是特別的。這里我要講一下。

　　這是一個(gè)紅色的天鵝絨蛋糕。紅色天鵝絨蛋糕是紅色或紅褐色的蛋糕，而這個(gè)蛋糕通常是美味的奶油芝士糖霜。不像普通的蛋糕，這個(gè)蛋糕有血紅色的內(nèi)部。它的常見(jiàn)配料有奶油牛奶、黃油、可可和面粉，還有甜菜的顏色。

　　因?yàn)樗�通常是在圣誕節(jié)或情人節(jié)，所以我去年有機(jī)會(huì)品嘗這個(gè)蛋糕。

　　我在盧迪亞納的凱悅酒店舉行的圣誕晚會(huì)上品嘗了這個(gè)蛋糕�？偟膩�(lái)說(shuō)，這是一個(gè)充滿樂(lè)趣和游戲的圣誕派對(duì)。希望我今年也會(huì)去那里。
