Laughter and tiers Bake Off showcases a gentler Britain
欢声笑语和多层蛋糕——《英国烘焙大赛》展现出一个更友好的英国
【1】To make an orangutan cake, first catch an orangutan. I’m kidding. For the showstopper challenge in the final of The Great British Bake Off, Syabira is making a cake based around the orange-furred ape, and using one of the actual creatures wouldn’t exactly be in keeping with the theme. The idea is that the three finalists have to make a showstopper that celebrates the Earth, ideally with some sort of sustainability message running through like cocoa in a marbled rye.
要想做个猩猩蛋糕，首先要抓一只猩猩。开玩笑。在《英国烘焙大赛》决赛的精彩挑战中，夏比拉（Syabira）做了一个橘毛猩猩蛋糕，用一个真实的生物和主题并不太相关。决赛的要求是三位决赛选手必须做出一件精彩的作品来礼赞地球，最好能让可持续这一理念通过作品自然流露，就像是大理石黑麦面包里的可可酱一样丝滑。
【2】This blamelessly yawnsome theme is no doubt atonement for the diplomatic incident that was Mexican week, in which Matt and Noel shook their non-proverbial maracas while wearing sombreros and ponchos before asking the contestants to make tacos. Mexico deserved better.
这一主题虽然无聊，但无可指摘，显然是为了弥补墨西哥主题周引起的对这两个国家的讨论。在墨西哥主题周中，主持人马特（Matt）和诺埃尔（Noel）带着宽檐帽，穿着斗篷，在宣布选手做墨西哥玉米卷饼前摇着并不具代表性的沙锤。墨西哥并不只有这些，它值得更好的。
【3】To be fair, British TV cooks have a history of clunking cultural appropriation, for instance, is paella non grata in Spain after his inauthentic recipe.
说句公道话，英国烘焙节目上的厨师曾拙劣地进行文化挪用。杰米·奥利弗（Jamie Oliver）就是个例子，他的西班牙海鲜饭不受欢迎，因为食谱并不正宗。
【4】Syabira’s manly ape is fashioned from genoise sponge flavoured with black pepper, while his fur is made from chocolate and hazelnut buttercream. There’s blackberry jam and some shortbread in the mix too, while above this tasty beast is a forest made from inverted meringue kisses that the orangutan is holding up, rather like Atlas bench-pressing our globe.
夏比拉威猛的猩猩是用黑胡椒粉调味的杰诺瓦士蛋糕做成的，而它的皮毛是用巧克力和榛子奶油做成的。还用到了黑莓果酱和酥饼，这只美味的猛兽上方是由倒置的马琳蛋白糖组成的森林，猩猩正举着它，很像阿特拉斯卧推地球。
【5】Abdul ’s theme is bees, so expect massive disappointment if you don’t care for honey. Sandro ’s also has a theme but for the life of me I can’t recall what , being thoroughly distracted by the provenance of his lemons. They’re from Devon, thus demonstrating the principle that one’s ingredients need only minimal air miles unless you want to make Greta Thunberg cry.
阿卜杜尔（Abdul）的主题是蜜蜂，所以如果你不喜欢蜂蜜，那肯定会大失所望。桑德罗（Sandro）的作品也有一个主题，但我怎么也想不起来，因为他的柠檬产地分散了我的注意力。这些柠檬来自德文郡，这说明了一项原则：食材只需要空运最短的距离，除非你想让格蕾塔·通伯格（Greta Thunberg）哭。
【6】But more about the orangutan. “He’s saying: ‘This is my home. Preserve it ,’” says Syabira. I don’t pretend to have the baking expertise of judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith , but surely a talking sponge-based ape should stop not just a show but any human doing anything—except standing with their amazed cake-hole open. And that is why, in my view, Syabira was the worthy winner.
但更值得讨论的还是这个猩猩蛋糕。“他说：‘这是我的家。请好好保护它。”我不会假装自己像评委保罗·好莱坞（Paul Hollywood）和普鲁·利斯（Prue Leith）那样，有着烘焙的专业知识，但可以肯定的是，一只会说话的杰诺瓦士蛋糕猩猩不应该仅标志着一个节目的结束，而应当标志着所有人类行为的结束——除了瞠目结舌地站着。这也就是为什么我认为夏比拉成为冠军是实至名归的原因。
【7】This series was criticised in the Guardian for being unprecedentedly mean. And there is a moment where Prue snaps over Syabira’s fetish for tarragon. She even puts some in her blackberry butter cream, possibly because she’s working undercover for the tarragon Marketing Board. “You can’t taste it,” says Prue. “Frankly, I’m glad because it’s delicious really.” If that’s unkindness, let unkindness reign unchecked. Paul says something about the sponge orangutan needing more work so he doesn’t look like an ugly ape (the simian, not Hollywood) .
这一季节目被《卫报》批评为前所未有的刻薄。比如，当时节目里普鲁尖锐批评了夏比拉对龙蒿草的执着。她甚至在黑莓奶油里也放了一些，或许是因为她是龙蒿营销委员会的卧底吧。“你根本尝不出来，”普鲁说，“说实话，我很高兴，因为味道真的很棒。”如果那就是不友善的话，那就让这种不友善盖过其他不受控制的猜测吧。保罗则称，这个猩猩蛋糕得继续进行改善，才能让它看起来不像一只丑陋的猿类（拜托这是一只猩猩，不是好莱坞明星）。
【8】More striking is the fact that the three finalists are immigrants to this often mean-spirited polity. Abdul has Pakistani parents, Syabira made a first-week cake in the form of her native Malaysian home, while Sandro was born in Angola and now lives in London .
更值得关注的一点是，这三个决赛选手都是移民，他们来到了这个通常很吝啬的国家。阿卜杜尔的父母是巴基斯坦人，夏比拉第一周做的蛋糕是她马来西亚老家的样子，而桑德罗出生在安哥拉，现在住在伦敦。
【9】Bake Off has long been a proving ground for a kinder, more diverse and inclusive Britain. Think of Mary Berry reduced to happy tears after Nadiya Hussain won Bake Off in 2014, despite the nasty Islamophobic jibe the Daily Mail columnist Amanda Platell wrote about the diversity of the show’s remaining contestants, including the Bangladeshi-heritage national treasure.
长期以来，《英国烘焙大赛》呈现出的一直是一个更友好、更多元、更包容的英国。想想2014年，当纳迪亚·侯赛因（Nadiya Hussain）赢得烘焙大赛的冠军时，玛丽·贝瑞（Mary Berry）流下了快乐的眼泪，尽管《每日邮报》专栏作家阿曼达·普拉德尔（Amanda Platell）对该节目晋级选手的多元性发表了下流的、仇视□□的言论，还抨击了孟加拉国的国宝。
【10】Towards the end of this final, if you listen really carefully you can hear a noise that sound s like a fan oven but actually turns out to be Suella Braverman firing up the Kigali-bound jet, to send Sandro, Syabira and Abdul to compete in The Great Rwandan Bake Off. As with the orangutan cake, I’m kidding, but a truth remains.
在决赛接近尾声的时候，如果你仔细听，你会听到一种像是电风扇烤箱的声音，但实际上是苏拉·布雷弗曼（Suella Braverman）在发动喷气机，飞往基加利（Kigali），送桑德罗、夏比拉和阿卜杜尔去参加《卢旺达烘焙大赛》。就和前面的猩猩蛋糕一样，我是在开玩笑，但也并非都是假话。
【11】I’m not saying that every week, Bake Off ’s kindly and diverse drama unwittingly stood against the home secretary’s disgraceful, cruel immigration policy with the doughty pride of a sponge orangutan holding up a rainforest made from inverted meringue kisses. Oh hold on, I am.
我并不是说，每一周烘焙大赛上演的暖心多样的故事能凭着蛋糕猩猩高举倒置马琳蛋白糖雨林那般顽强的骄傲成功默默对抗内政大臣制定的不光彩且残酷的移民政策。诶等等，其实我的确这样认为。
段落大意：
【1】《英国烘焙大赛》的决赛中，冠军做了一个橘毛猩猩蛋糕，比赛要求是礼赞地球。
【2】之前的墨西哥主题周节目引起了人们的不满。
【3】英国烘焙节目上的厨师曾失败地进行过文化挪用。
【4】这只威猛的猩猩用美味的蛋糕和其他甜品做成。
【5】其他选手的作品也有自己的主题。
【6】猩猩蛋糕表示要人类保护地球，这是这个作品的主题。
【7】这一季节目被《卫报》称为前所未有的刻薄，两位评委对作品进行了尖锐的评价。
【8】三位决赛选手都是移民。
【9】《英国烘焙大赛》呈现出的一直是一个更友好、更多元、更包容的英国。
【10】尽管是个烘焙比赛，但其背后涉及到移民问题。
【11】尽管节目上的英国更友好包容，但也抵消不了英国移民政策的残酷。

背景知识：
每年夏末初秋时，英国人民的热门话题总少不了最新一季的《英国烘焙大赛》。节目由两位喜剧人主持，十二位业余爱好者参与主题竞赛，参赛者们需要根据要求现场完成烘焙。所有作品均由两位资深专家试吃点评，每期节目淘汰一人，最后三位选手角逐大赛冠军。
这档以烘焙为题材的节目，自2010年开播以来，连续9年在BBC播出，最高达到1360万人观看，最高达到49.5%的收视份额。其节目模式被售往30个国家，并在各个国家广受欢迎。烘焙在英国十分普及，孩子们从小在厨房“偷师”母亲做蛋糕的手艺、在生日时和朋友分享家庭自制的主题蛋糕；公司聚会也少不了烘焙制品，同事们轮流带来自己烤制的作品，开启“烘焙社交”……《英国烘焙大赛》从第一季开始就确定了清爽、温馨、正能量的基调。虽说确实有淘汰赛制，但节目并不刻意强调选手之间的竞争，选手会在各自工作□□立制作而不会互相干扰；叙事重心也并未放在竞赛上，而是更多地表现选手的个人故事和现场的制作情况等。节目探究了世界各地的烘焙文化，并将它们具象成小挑战放到节目中。选手需要根据比赛给出的挑战题目进行主题烘焙。
2022年《英国烘焙大赛》Syabira Yusoff被提名为英国烘焙大赛的冠军。这位来自伦敦的32岁心血管研究助理在第四频道烘焙大赛的最后一集中击败了桑德罗·法莱姆和阿卜杜尔·拉赫曼·谢里夫，获得了最高奖项。
