In the Delaware Valley,including Philadelphia and southern New Jersey,the sandwich is called ahoagie. In Italian restaurants in New England the menu is likely to include agrinder. Speakers in Miami use the nameCuban sandwich and in Maine,Italian sandwich, but in the southern Midwest, according to Stern, the nameItalian is common, with both Italian and Italian sandwich recapturing the authentic nationality of the sandwich. In New Orleansthe same sandwich is called apoor boy and is likely to be offered in a most un-Italian version featuring fried oysters.在意大利长圆面包上放上几层肉和干酪而做成的长三明治，已有好几个名称。Submarine，sub 以及 hero 是使用最为广泛的名称， 而并非哪个地区的专用。这种三明治的大多数地方性名称集中于美国东北部地区，那里是居住意裔美国人最多的地方。简·斯特恩在对这种三明治的各种美国名称进行研究后发现，纽约州北部的居民称之为bomber（轰炸机） ， 而纽约州南部的居民称之为wedge（楔形物） 。 在特拉华河谷，包括费城和新泽西南部，这种三明治叫做hoagie 。 在新英格兰的意大利饭馆的菜单上，它称为grinder 。 迈阿密人则使用古巴三明治 这个名称， 而缅因州人使用意大利三明治 这个名称。 依据斯特恩的研究，在中西部的南部，人们普遍使用Italian（意大利式） 这一名称，或者就叫它 意大利式 ，或者称之为 意大利三明治 。这两个名称都反映了该三明治的原产国。 在新奥尔良，相同的三明治又叫做可怜的男孩 ， 而其做法绝对是非意大利式的，因为当中夹有牡蛎〔miserable〕Very uncomfortable or unhappy; wretched.痛苦的：非常不舒适或不快乐的；可怜的〔pitiable〕Arousing or deserving of pity or compassion; lamentable.可怜的：引起或值得同情、怜悯的；令人怜悯的〔sod〕"Poor sod, he almost got lucky for once"(Jack Higgins)“可怜的家伙，有一次他几乎成了很幸运的人”(杰克·希金斯)〔pathetic〕The academic standards in the school were pathetic. Bothpitiful and pitiable apply to what is touchingly sad: 学校的学术水平低得可怜。 Pitiful 和 pitiable 都用于指令人感伤的东西： 〔pathetic〕"They . . . made piteous lamentation to us to save them" (Daniel Defoe).“他们向我们示以令人可怜的悲伤来自保” （丹尼尔·笛福）。 |
