| 7 | To understand why airplane food tastes different, we first need to look at how our sense of taste and smell work. | 为了理解为什么飞机食物的味道不同,我们首先需要看看我们的品味和嗅觉是如何起作用的. |
| 8 | Our tongues can detect five basic tastes—sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. | 我们的舌头可以检测到五种基本味道——甜味、咸味、酸味、苦味和微米。 |
| 9 | However, flavor is not just about what our taste buds perceive. | 然而,口味并不只是我们的味觉。 |
| 10 | It's also heavily influenced by our sense of smell. | 它也受到我们嗅觉的很大影响. |
| 11 | In fact, around 80% of what we think of as taste actually comes from our ability to smell food. | 实际上,我们所认为的口味的80% 实际上是来自我们闻到食物的能力。 |
| 12 | This is why when you have a cold and your nose is blocked, food seems to lose its flavor. | 这就是为什么当你感冒和鼻子堵住了,食物似乎失去了它的味道。 |
| 13 | When you're flying, the high altitude and cabin conditions affect both your taste buds and your sense of smell, altering the way you perceive food. | 当你在飞行时,高空和舱位条件会影响你的味蕾和嗅觉,改变你对食物的看法. |
| 14 | One of the biggest factors is the change in air pressure. | 最大的因素之一是气压的变化. |
| 15 | At cruising altitude, most airplanes maintain a cabin pressure equivalent to that of a location about 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. | 在巡航高度上,大多数飞机维持的机舱压力相当于海拔约6000至8000英尺的位置. |
| 16 | This lower pressure reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood and slightly numbs our taste buds. | 这种低压会减少血液中的氧气量,并略微麻木我们的味蕾. |
| 17 | Studies have shown that our ability to detect sweet and salty flavors can drop by as much as 30% in these conditions. | 研究表明,在这种情况下,我们检测甜味和咸味的能力可以下降30%。 |
| 18 | This means that food that would normally taste well seasoned on the ground might seem dull and flavorless when eaten on a plane. | 这意味着通常在地面上品味良好的食物在飞机上食用时可能显得枯燥乏味。 |
| 19 | Another major factor that affects the way food tastes on an airplane is the low humidity. | 影响飞机上食物味道的另一个主要因素是低湿度. |
| 20 | Airplane cabins are extremely dry, with humidity levels around 10 to 20%, much lower than what we experience on the ground. | 飞机舱非常干燥,湿度在10%到20%左右,远低于我们在地面上的经历. |
| 21 | To put that into perspective, the Sahara Desert has an average humidity of around 25%. | 撒哈拉沙漠的平均湿度约为25%。 |
| 22 | This dry environment dries out our nasal passages, making it harder for us to perceive aromas. | 干燥的环境让我们的鼻道干涸 使我们更难以察觉芳香 |
| 23 | Since smell plays a crucial role in how we experience flavors, the lack of moisture in the air dulls our ability to enjoy food the way we normally would. | 由于气味对我们体验风味起着关键作用,空气中水分的缺乏削弱了我们享受正常食物的能力。 |
| 24 | Additionally, dry air can make us feel dehydrated, which can further impact our perception of taste. | 此外,干燥的空气会让我们感到脱水,这会进一步影响我们对味道的看法. |
| 25 | When our mouths are dry, we produce less saliva, which is essential for breaking down food and carrying flavors to our taste receptors. | 当我们的口干时,我们产生较少的唾液,这对破坏食物和将口味带到我们的品味受体至关重要. |
| 26 | This is why some foods, especially those that rely on subtle flavors or delicate seasonings, can taste very different or even bland when eaten at high altitude. | 这就是为什么有些食物,特别是那些依赖微妙的风味或微妙的调味品的食物,在高空食用时,其味道会非常不同,甚至会很粗糙. |
| 27 | Believe it or not, the loud noise of the airplane cabin also plays a role in how we perceive taste. | 信不信由你 飞机舱的噪音也对我们的品味有影响 |
| 28 | The constant hum of the engines, which can reach around 85 decibels, has been shown to influence our ability to taste food. | 发动机的恒音,可以达到85分贝左右,已经证明会影响我们品尝食物的能力. |
| 29 | A study conducted by researchers at Cornell University found that loud background noise can suppress sweet and salty flavors while enhancing umami, | 康奈尔大学研究人员进行的一项研究发现,响亮的背景噪声可以抑制甜味和咸味,同时增强umami, |
| 30 | the savory taste found in foods like tomatoes, mushrooms, and soy sauce. | 在番茄,蘑菇,酱油等食物中发现的美味味. |
| 31 | This means that while your dessert might not taste as sweet as it normally would, | 这意味着,虽然你的甜点 可能味道不如平常甜, |
| 32 | a dish rich in umami, like a tomato-based pasta or a mushroom risotto, might still taste relatively normal. | 富含 um米的菜肴,如番茄基面或蘑菇面条,仍可能味道相对正常. |
| 33 | This explains why airline meals often include dishes with strong umami flavors, such as beef stews, tomato sauces, or soy-based marinades. | 这解释了为什么航空公司的餐食往往包括有浓厚的umami口味的菜肴,如牛肉炖肉,番茄酱,或以豆类为原料的马桶. |
| 34 | Airlines have adapted their menus to include ingredients that can withstand the effects of altitude and still taste relatively good, even when our taste perception is altered. | 航空公司已经调整了菜单,以包括能够承受高度效应的成分,即使我们的味道感知被改变,其味道仍然相对较好. |
| 35 | Knowing that food tastes different at high altitude, airlines have developed special methods to ensure that meals remain flavorful in the air. | 航空公司知道高空食物的味道不同,因此制定了特殊方法,确保餐食在空气中保持味道. |
| 36 | Many airline catering companies modify their recipes by increasing the levels of salt, sugar, and spices to compensate for the dulled sense of taste that passengers experience. | 许多航空餐饮公司通过提高盐,糖,香料的含量来修改其食谱,以补偿乘客所经历的乏味感. |
| 37 | For example, a pasta sauce that might taste perfect on the ground would be made with extra seasoning to ensure that it still tastes good when served on a flight. | 例如,一种在地面上可能味道完美的面酱会用额外的调料来制作,以确保在飞行时仍能品味良好. |
| 38 | Additionally, airlines often use different cooking techniques to enhance flavors. | 此外,航空公司常常使用不同的烹饪技术来增强口味。 |
| 39 | Slow-cooked dishes like braised meats or stews tend to retain their taste better than grilled or fried items. | 慢煮的菜肴,如肉饼或炖菜,往往比烤肉或炸菜更能保持味道. |
| 40 | This is because slow-cooked meals allow flavors to develop more deeply, making them more resistant to the effects of altitude. | 这是因为慢煮的餐食可以让口味更深入地发展,使其更能抵抗海拔的影响. |
| 41 | Similarly, food is often prepared with rich sauces to keep it from drying out, since the dry cabin air can make food lose moisture quickly. | 同样,食物也经常用丰富的酱汁准备,以防其干涸,因为干燥的舱室空气可以使食物迅速失去水分. |
| 42 | However, despite these adjustments, airline food still faces challenges when it comes to freshness and quality. | 然而,尽管进行了这些调整,航空食品在新鲜度和质量方面仍然面临挑战。 |
| 43 | Most in-flight meals are prepared hours before they are served, often in large-scale industrial kitchens near airports. | 大多数在机内用餐是在供应前几小时准备的,常常是在机场附近的大型工业厨房. |
| 44 | The food is then chilled and transported to the aircraft, where it is reheated before being served to passengers. | 食物随后被冷却,运至飞机上,再在那里加热,然后交给乘客. |
| 45 | This reheating process can sometimes affect the texture and overall appeal of the food, making it less enjoyable than a freshly prepared meal. | 这种再加热过程有时会影响食物的纹理和整体吸引力,使其不如新鲜准备的餐食更不愉快. |
| 46 | While most foods suffer from the effects of altitude, there is one surprising exception – tomato juice. | 虽然大多数食物都受海拔影响, |
| 47 | Many passengers claim that tomato juice tastes better on an airplane than it does on the ground. | 许多乘客声称,番茄汁在飞机上比在地面上味道更好. |
| 48 | This is actually backed by science. | 这实际上得到了科学的支持。 |
| 49 | The same Cornell University study that examined background noise and taste found that umami flavors are enhanced in flight. | 康奈尔大学在研究背景噪音和口味时发现,在飞行中微米口味得到增强. |
| 50 | Since tomato juice is naturally high in umami, it retains its strong, savory taste even at high altitude. | 由于番茄汁在umami自然高,即使在高空也保留了它的强烈的,美味的味道. |
| 51 | This is one reason why so many people order tomato juice or Bloody Marys during flights, even if they don't normally drink them on the ground. | 这就是为什么这么多人在飞行时会点番茄汁或血腥玛丽丝,即使他们通常不会在地面上喝. |
| 52 | So, the next time you find yourself on a flight wondering why your meal doesn't taste quite right, remember that it's not just in your head, it's science. | 所以,下一次你发现自己在飞机上 想知道为什么你的晚餐味道不太对, 记住,它不只是在你的脑海里,而是科学。 |
| 53 | The combination of low air pressure, dry cabin conditions, background noise, and the way our senses adapt at high altitude all contribute to the difference in taste. | 低气压,干舱条件,背景噪声,以及高空感官的适应方式的结合,都促成了口味的差异. |
| 54 | Airlines have spent years developing strategies to make food more enjoyable in the sky. | 航空公司花了数年时间来制定战略,使食物在天空中更加享受. |
| 55 | But no matter how much they tweak their recipes, eating at 30,000 feet will never be quite the same as dining on solid ground. | 但是无论他们如何调整他们的食谱, 在3万英尺的高度吃东西, 永远不会像在坚固的地面上吃东西一样。 |
