展开英文短文,再悬停查词
What is a typical breakfast? In one Japanese family, it may include rice, fish, and soup. In France, some people eat bread with butter or jam. In parts of India, a warm dish with vegetables may be popular.
But no country has only one breakfast. Breakfast changes by region, family, season, and person. Cereal can be normal in one family, while noodles are normal in another. A menu is a starting point, not a rule for everyone.

什么样的早餐才算‘典型’?在一个日本家庭,早餐可能有米饭、鱼和汤。在法国,有些人吃涂黄油或果酱的面包。在印度的某些地区,热乎乎的蔬菜餐食可能很受欢迎。
但没有哪个国家只有一种早餐。早餐会因地区、家庭、季节和个人而异。一家人习惯吃麦片,另一家人习惯吃面条,都很正常。菜单只提供一个认识饮食文化的起点,不是所有人都必须遵守的规则。

背景知识
