📝 学习建议
  • 先记住它的核心形象是“蛋白加糖打发后烘烤”,不要把它泛泛理解成任何奶油或糖霜。
  • 它既可以指柔软的顶部配料,也可以指烘烤后成形的脆壳,要结合上下文判断。
📖 中文释义
noun
  • core 蛋白糖霜
    📖 指把蛋白和糖打发成泡沫后,作为派等甜点顶部配料的混合物,通常还会烘烤使表面变成金黄色。
    💡 常用结构是“meringue topping”或“the meringue on a pie”。表示材料时通常用不可数形式,但说一个具体制品时可以用“a meringue”。不要把这里的意思只理解为已经完全烤脆的外壳。
    countable uncountable
    The lemon pie was topped with a thick layer of meringue.
    这块柠檬派上覆盖着厚厚一层蛋白糖霜。
    The meringue topping turned golden in the oven.
    蛋白糖霜配料在烤箱里变成了金黄色。
  • core 蛋白酥壳
    📖 指把这种蛋白和糖混合物烘烤成形后得到的轻脆外壳,里面可以装水果、冰淇淋或冰沙。
    💡 常见结构是“a meringue shell filled with ...”或“fruit served in meringue”。这里可数形式很常见,因为一个外壳通常被视为一个独立甜点;不要误以为它只是一层覆盖物。
    countable uncountable
    We served berries and whipped cream in crisp meringue shells.
    我们把浆果和打发奶油装在酥脆的蛋白酥壳里。
meringues plural
verb
  • common 做成蛋白酥甜点
    📖 指用蛋白和糖制备一道蛋白糖霜或蛋白酥壳类甜点,也就是把食物做成名词意义上的 meringue。
    💡 通常用于烹饪说明或专业语境,常见结构是“meringue the dessert”或“the pie is meringued”。普通对话中,使用表示“在上面加蛋白糖霜”的说法往往更自然;不要把它和“把蛋白打发”本身等同起来。

🌳 词源
源自法语,词源可能与表示“清淡晚餐”或“浸泡面包”的中古荷兰语词有关;传统上曾认为它得名于瑞士村庄梅林根,但这一说法如今不被普遍接受。
Borrowed from French meringue. Historically, it was believed that meringue was invented in and named for the Swiss village of Meiringen, but the term is now thought to derive instead from Middle Dutch meringue (“light evening meal”), of unclear origin: * perhaps from Latin merenda (“light evening meal”), or * perhaps from Middle Dutch *meren (“to dip or soak bread”), from Old Dutch *meren, itself of unclear origin: ** perhaps from Proto-Germanic *marjaną (“to grind, pound”), from Proto-Indo-European *mer- (“to rub, pack”). ** perhaps from Proto-Germanic *marhin (“soup of bread and wine or water”), from Proto-Indo-European *mark-, *merk- (“wet”). Compare Middle Low German meringe (from mern (“to dip bread in wine”)), Middle High German merunge (from mëren (“to soak bread in wine or water for dinner”)), Old English merian (“to purify, cleanse, test”). Doublet of merengue.
