19 A Special Date For 520

By: David A.Howard

520

wǒ ài nǐ

5.20, May the 20th. For most of us it’s just another “normal” day, but for others, especially in China (and especially for those in a loving relationship) it holds a lot of meaning. 520 is a Chinese love word and a celebration of love, much like Valentine’s day.

5月20日在中国被赋予特殊的意义，象征着爱情。

But why 5.20?

The answer is simple. The pronunciation of the numbers in the date May the 20th (5.20) in Mandarin is 五二零 (wǔ èr líng), which sounds quite similar to我爱你 (wǒ ài nǐ). In case your Chinese level is HSK -1, wǒ ài nǐ translates to ‘I Love You’ in English.

为什么是这一天呢？因为520在中文发音里谐音“我爱你”。

Perhaps not quite the mythical Chinese love story you were hoping for, but who needs a romantic story to celebrate love, eh? All you need is three magic numbers and a special date planned!

Wait! You do have a special date planned, don’t you?!

谁管这些啊，我只需要有一个特别的约会。

23 Slice the Price with Pizza Deals – Up to 70% Off 精选披萨三折起!

By: David A.Howard

We all love pizza – whether it’s sharing a slice with friends out in the city, getting delivery for a cozy movie night at home, or erasing a college hangover after a big night.

和好朋友分享披萨共度美好时光，在家度过电影之夜也会点披萨外卖，在宿醉之后也需要披萨醒酒，我太需要了。

You could score a 12-Inch white pizza set or 12-inch pepperoni pizza set in Homeslice Pizza! Heck, if you’ve already got some bottles sitting at home, check it out!

Homeslice披萨有众多12寸披萨套餐！家里囤有酒的话，赶快行动起来！

But did you know there was a time when pizza didn’t exist？

那你知道什么时候出现的披萨吗？

*Shudders* *颤抖！发冷!*

It’s horrible to think about, but its true. Pizza didn’t emerge, fully formed, during the big bang.

不敢相信！谁能想到在宇宙大爆炸期间还没有披萨！

The ancestor of pizza was probably the Roman flatbread known as ‘panis focacius.’

披萨的祖先很可能是一种叫“panisfocacius”的罗马面包。

Many other cultures including the Persians, Greeks, Indians, and Chinese also created various types of flatbreads topped with different ingredients.

波斯、希腊、印度、中国等也有许多种类的面包。

While the word pizza was first documented in 997 A.D., modern pizza didn’t evolve until sometime in the 18th or early 19th century with the addition of tomatoes. Remember – tomatoes aren’t native to Europe! They were introduced from the Americas during the 16th century. At first, many Europeans believed that tomatoes, as a member of the nightshade family, were poisonous!

披萨这个词最早记载于公元997年，但现代比萨直到18、19世纪才随着西红柿的传播而发展。西红柿不是欧洲土生土长的！它是16世纪从美洲引进的。起初许多欧洲人认为西红柿这类茄属植物是有毒的。

After people realized that tomatoes won’t kill you and that they actually taste pretty good, Italians tried adding them to flatbread. During those times, pizza was eaten mainly in central and southern Italy. As Allied troops stationed in Italy in World War II started to return home, they brought their new-found love of pizza back to their respective countries, and pizza rapidly spread across the world. Flashforward to today and you can find pizza pretty much everywhere. Thank goodness.

当人们意识到西红柿无毒且美味后，意大利人试着把它们添加到面包中。二战期间驻扎在意大利的盟军开始回国，他们把披萨带回了各自的国家，披萨迅速蔓延到世界各地。

Pizza continues to evolve as new cultures add their own special ingredients to the mix. We’ll skip the durian, but kimchi and curry on pizza are quite good.

各地因文化不同而会添加特殊的材料。跳过榴莲，泡菜和咖喱披萨还是相当不错的。

The good times end on April 1st. Open our app on your phone to check out all the awesome deals going down and make sure you place your order before it’s too late.

4月1号就结束咯！抓紧时间享受美味折扣披萨吧！
