If the rising summer temperatures have you craving a scoop or two of ice cream， you are in luck in July. July happens to be National Ice Cream Month. The fun tradition was started in 1984 by former US president Ronald Reagan， in recognition of the treats “nutritious and wholesome qualities”.
如果夏季气温上升让你想吃一两勺冰淇淋，在七月（在美国）你就走运了。七月恰巧是美国的冰淇淋月。美国前总统罗纳德·里根于1984年创建了这项有趣的传统，认可这种食品的“营养和有益健康的品质”。
The origin of ice cream
There is no specific date of origin， or inventor， that has been indisputably1 credited2 with the invention of the dessert. Some attribute it to the Persians3， who made a sorbet-like treat by pouring grape juice concentrate over snow in 500 BC. The recipe is later believed to have evolved to include iced rose water， vermicelli4， saffron5， fruits， and other sweet flavors.
The first records of milk-based ice cream， made using heated fermented6 milk， flour and so on， come from Chinas Tang dynasty. However， it is the Arabs who are credited with coming up with the modern-day recipe， which lists milk and sugar as the primary ingredients， in the 9th century. By the 10th century， the delicious treat， made using milk， cream， flavored rosewater， dried fruits， and nuts， was purportedly a fixture in Baghdad， Damascus， and Cairo.
冰淇淋的起源
毫无疑问，这种甜品的发明并没有具体的起源日期或发明者。有些人把它归功于波斯人，在公元前500年，波斯人把葡萄汁集中倒在雪上，做成了类似冰糕的美味。后来人们认为该配方里包括冰镇玫瑰水、面条、藏红花、水果和其他甜味调料。
关于以牛奶为基础的冰淇淋的最早记录来自中国的唐朝，它是由加热的发酵牛奶、面粉等制成的。然而，人们认为，阿拉伯人在9世纪发明了现代的冰淇淋食谱，将牛奶和糖作为主要原料。到了10世纪，据说在巴格达、大马士革和开罗，用牛奶、奶油、调味玫瑰水、干果和坚果制作美味已经是一种固定的组合。
Ice cream in America
While the Europeans discovered the creamy treat in the 16th century， the first mention of the dessert in the US was not till 1744， when Maryland Governor Thomas Bladen served strawberry ice cream to guests. However， the nation has more than made up for the lost years. Americans are now the worlds largest consumers of ice cream， eating an average of 48 pints per person and spending a total of $5.47 billion annually， on the dessert. The number is even higher if restaurant sales are included. Though California produces the most ice cream， the biggest fans， on a per capita basis， reside in Washington， DC， Rhode Island， and Wisconsin.
美国的冰淇淋
欧洲人在16世纪发现这种乳脂状的甜品，而在美国，直到1744年，当马里兰州州长托马斯·布莱登用草莓冰淇淋招待客人时，才第一次有人提及这种甜品。然而，这个国家已经远超出弥补多年的损失。美国现在是世界上最大的冰淇淋消费国，平均每人每年吃48品脱冰淇淋，每年在冰淇淋上总共花费54.7亿美元。如果把餐馆的销售额算在内，这个数字甚至会更高。尽管加利福尼亞州生产的冰淇淋最多，但按人均计算，最忠实的冰淇淋粉丝在华盛顿特区、罗德岛州和威斯康星州。
Most popular flavors
Though there are now over 1，000 recorded ice cream flavors worldwide， vanilla7， followed by chocolate， tops the chart of favorites almost universally. Also， while adding unusual ingredients might seem to be a modern invention， the idea is not new. A cookbook penned in 1790 had recipes for Parmesan8， ginger， and even brown bread flavored ice cream！
最受欢迎的口味
尽管目前全球有超过1000种有记载的冰淇淋口味，但香草味，其次是巧克力味，几乎是全球最受欢迎的口味。此外，虽然添加不寻常的成分似乎是一种现代发明，但这种想法并不新鲜。1790年写的一本食谱中记载有帕尔马干酪、生姜，甚至是黑面包口味的冰淇淋！
Your favorite flavor reflects your personality
While you may think your choice of ice cream flavor is just a function of your taste preferences， Dr. Alan Hirsch， founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation， believes it is a reflection of your personality. Vanilla ice cream lovers will be pleased to know that they are“impulsive， risk-takers” who are great at relationships. Love chocolate ice cream？ Then you are lively and charming. Strawberry ice cream lovers are believed to be introverts， while mint9 chocolate chip ice cream fans are ambitious and argumentative. Surprisingly， those who enjoy the multi-colored rainbow sherbet10 are labeled as pessimists11， while rocky road ice cream lovers are purportedly12 engaging speakers and good listeners.
你最喜欢的味道反映了你的个性
你也许认为冰淇淋口味的选择只是你的口味偏好，但“嗅觉和味觉治疗和研究基金会”的创始人阿兰·赫斯基博士认为，它是你个性的反映。香草冰淇淋爱好者会乐于知道，他们是“冲动的冒险者”，善于处理人际关系。你喜欢巧克力冰淇淋吗？那么你是活泼迷人的。草莓冰淇淋爱好者被认为是内向的人，而薄荷巧克力屑冰淇淋爱好者则是雄心勃勃而富有争议的人。令人惊讶的是，那些喜欢多色彩虹果子露口味的人被貼上了悲观主义者的标签，而石子路冰淇淋的爱好者则被认为是有吸引力的演讲者和优秀的听众。
