Cooper: What's this? The green and round pie over there?
庫伯：這是什么？那邊那個綠色的圓圓的派。
Tour guide: Oh, they're not pies. They're called mugwort rice cakes, a very popular snack here.
導游：哦，那可不是派。是艾葉粑粑，這里非常流行的小吃。
Cooper: So, they're made from mugwort?
庫伯：這么說，他們是用艾葉做的？
Tour guide: Yes. Mugwort is a nutritious ingredient. It can prevent illness, such as cold and cough. So, many people like to make mugwort rice cakes at home.
導游：是的。艾葉是一種非常有營養的食材，可以預防比如感冒、咳嗽之類的疾病。所以，許多人喜歡在家里自己制作艾葉粑粑。
Cooper: But I heard that mugwort is a little bitter, not tasty.
庫伯：但是，我聽說艾葉有點兒苦，并不好吃呀。
Tour guide: Yeah, so the first and foremost thing is to immerse the mugwort in clean water for a whole day, in order to remove the bitter flavor.
導游：是的，所以制作艾葉粑粑的第一件事就是將艾葉在清水中浸泡整整一天，這樣就可以去除苦味了。
Cooper: Oh, I see. Is it served hot or cold?
庫伯：我明白了，那這個粑粑是趁熱吃還是涼了以后再吃呢？
Tour guide: Both are ok, but I prefer the cold one. But if it has been cold for a long time, you can re-fry it again.
導游：都可以的，我比較喜歡吃涼的。不過，如果要是涼的時間太久，變得太硬的話，重新煎炸一下就可以了。
Cooper: Wow, fantastic! A mugwort rice cake, cold, please.
庫伯：哇，太好啦！給我來一個艾葉粑粑，涼的。
