问题     对于中国的西方化,其中一个有代表性的现象是葡萄酒在中国人群中的普及程度。据估计,目前中国的葡萄酒消费年增长率在15%。这么高的增长率令法国葡萄酒出口商发现,不仅是北京和上海,连中国二线城市都有着比纽约和伦敦更加旺盛的需求。实际上,葡萄酒对于中国人来说绝对不是新鲜事物,反而是自古有之。早在公元2世纪的时候,中国偏远西部地区的园艺家就已经对葡萄树有所了解,而且当时也有酒的酿造和饮用。从史料记载来看,当时的酒很有可能就是葡萄酒。尽管欧洲葡萄品种引进到中国东部的时间可以追溯到19世纪末,而以葡萄酿造的酒类饮料真正融人中国消费者(而且还只是都市消费者)的生活却是在20世纪末期。

选项

答案     One of the more potent symbols of the westernization of China has been the extent to which the Chinese have taken to wine. Consumption is rising at an estimated 15 percent a year, so that not just Shanghai and Beijing but also the second-tier Chinese cities have become more popular destinations for French wine exporters than New York and London. The wine is not entirely new to the Chinese, however. It was known to gardeners in far Western China at least as early as the second century A. D. when wine, very possibly grape wine according to the historical materials, was certainly made and consumed. European grape varieties were introduced to Eastern China at the end of the 19th century but it was only in the late 20th century that grape-based wine integrated itself into Chinese (urban) society.
