奶酪的起源 The Origin of Cheese英語作文

The Origin of Cheese

No one knows who has made the first cheese,but an old legend says that it was an Arabian merchant.He put his milk in a pouch made from a sheep's stomach and set off across the desert.The jouncing of his camel,the desert heat,and the chemicals in the pouch lining made the milk separate into curds and whey.The thick part,or curd was the first cheese.

Ancient records show that cheese has been eaten for more than one thousand years.From the earliest times,it has been considered a very nourishing food.Americans eat less cheese than people in some countries do,yet they still consume eight to ten pounds a year per person.

Today cheese is made all over the world.Most cheese is made from cow's milk,because the supply of this milk is greater throughout the world.Smaller quantities come from the milk of other animals:goats, sheep,camels,and even reindeer.

奶酪的起源

沒人知道是誰做了第一塊奶酪，不過據一個古老的傳說，是一位阿拉伯商人制作了第一塊奶酪。他將牛奶放進用羊胃制成的口袋里，啟程穿越沙漠。駱駝的顛簸、沙漠的炎熱及口袋襯里的化學物質使牛奶分離成凝乳和乳清。 粘稠的部分，或者說是凝乳就是最早的奶酪。

古代記載表明人們吃奶酪的歷史有1000多年。早期人們就認為它是一種富有營養的食品。美國人比有些國家的`人吃的奶酪少，但每年每人仍要消費掉8~10磅。

今天世界各地的人們都會制作奶酪。大部分的奶酪是用牛奶制成的，因為牛奶的供應量在全世界都很大。少量的奶來自其他動物一一山羊、綿羊、駱駝以及馴鹿。
