　　3. Tiramisu

　　3.提拉米苏

　　Tiramisu is a popular dessert found on nearly every Italian restaurant menu in the United States. It is made of biscuits soaked in coffee with layers of whipped mascarpone and egg yolks. It also contains cocoa and liquor flavors.

　　几乎美国大小的餐馆都有的里拉米苏这道甜点。一道提拉米苏里面可以看到咖啡泡过的饼干将打泡后的马斯卡泊尼奶酪和蛋白分成许多层，还能品尝到可可和酒的味道。

　　There is quite a bit of debate as to where and when Tiramisu originated, but it comes from Italy. Many people believe it is more of a recent creation (early 1980s), while others believe it was earlier. There is also debate as to where in Italy it originated as well. Thankfully, everyone can agree this is one of the best desserts to come out of Italy!

　　关于提拉米苏的诞生地和诞生的时间是有争议的。但是提拉米苏的的确确发源于意大利。一些人认为提拉米苏的诞生时间应该是80年代，但一些人却认为提拉米苏的诞生应该比80年代更早。关于特拉米苏最早是在意大利的那个地区诞生的也说法不一。然而，谢天谢地，大家都一致认为提拉米苏绝对是意大利最好吃的甜点之一。

　　4. Risotto

　　4.意大利调味饭

　　Risotto originated in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Risotto dishes are made with short-grain rice and include a broth that creates a creamy final product. Producing a good risotto is not often that easy and an improperly cooked one can resemble a crunchy rice soup.

　　意大利调味饭起源于意大利北部的皮埃蒙特地区。意大利调味饭的主要原料是粘性好的短米，再加以肉汤烹制，最后就出炉一份好吃的意大利调味饭。这个是个技术活，如果做不好，吃起来就像米汤和生米的混合体。
