April 22 is a very important holiday. It's National Jelly Bean Day. Anyone who loves these delicious, flavoursome, colourful little sweets should treat themselves on this day. They should also check and make sure their family and friends are jelly bean freaks. But be careful, as we all know, jelly beans are addictive. There are many things you can do to celebrate besides eating jelly beans. Here are a few suggestions. Why not dress in the colours of your favourite jelly bean? You could have a jelly bean party and ask for friends to create their own special jelly bean dish. For real grown-ups, you could take part in a jelly bean quiz. The Internet is full of fascinating information on the history of and culture surrounding jelly beans.
4月22日會慶祝一個重要節日。全國果凍豆日。所有喜歡美味彩豆的朋友都應該好好“款待”自己一番。看看親戚朋友有沒有果凍豆狂人。但據我所知，果凍豆上癮。除了特吃大吃，你還可以做一些其它慶?；顒?。下面是幾個問題。為什么不穿上你喜歡的彩豆顏色服裝？舉辦果凍豆派對，邀請朋友們制作特別的果凍豆美食。如果是成年人，你可以參加果凍豆測試。網上有大量關于果凍豆的歷史和文化。
Jelly beans are one of the oldest forms of candy we have. They date back to at least the mid-nineteenth century. Jelly bean historians believe the jelly bean centre originated from Turkish Delight, which comes from the Middle East. The gummy centre is made from sugar, corn syrup and other ingredients to give them their fruity taste. Machines spray the insides with coloured sugar to give the beans their hard shells. Jelly beans today come in all kinds of different flavours, including spicy. You can even put different ones in your mouth to create new flavours. They are even popular with American presidents. Ronald Reagan supposedly kept a jar on his desk in the White House.
果凍豆屬于老式糖果。它的歷史至少可以追溯到19世紀中期。研究果凍豆的歷史學家認為，果凍豆源自中東的土耳其軟糖。軟糖中加入糖、玉米糖漿以及其它水果口味原料。用機器在里部填充彩糖，形成堅硬外殼。如今的果凍豆有多種口味，包括辣椒口味。你還可以把多種口味一股腦塞進嘴里，創造新的口味。它還深受美國總統歡迎。有人認為里根總統的桌子上還有個果凍豆罐子。
