So what exactly is MSG?
那么，味精到底是什么？
Well,Monosodium Glutamate contains seventy-eight point two per cent glutamate, twelve point two per cent sodium and nine point six per cent water.
味精富含78.2%的谷氨酸鹽，12.2%的鈉和9.6%的水。
Glutamate is an amino acid that can be found naturally in all protein-containing foods,erm, so this includes food such as meat and cheese.
谷氨酸鹽是一種氨基酸，在所有蛋白質(zhì)食物中可以找到。例如肉和奶酪。
It is widely known that Chinese and Japanese food contains MSG
眾所周知，中國和日本菜使用味精，
but many people don't seem to be aware that it is also used in foods in other parts of the world.
但是很少有人意識(shí)到在世界其他地區(qū)的食物中味精也被廣泛使用。
For example it is found in commercially made Italian pizzas, in American fast food and in Britain MSG is used in things like potato crisps.
例如，意大利比薩、美國快餐、英國炸薯?xiàng)l等。
So,how exactly does MSG work?
那么，到底味精是如何起作用的呢？
Well,in the Western world, we commonly talk of four 'tastes',and I'm sure you're all familiar with the concepts of sweet,sour,bitter and salt.
在西方世界，我們通常會(huì)說四種味道，即甜、酸、苦、咸。
