桑德豪斯坦言说,自己在创作这本书的过程中可能喝了将近600杯白酒。“风尚亚洲”(Scene Asia)栏目与31岁的桑德豪斯聊了聊他对这一中国名酒的热爱。以下是经编辑的访谈摘录:
How did you get the idea for the book?
问:你是如何想到要写这本书的?
It came to me several years ago, when I was on my way back from one of the banquets that people in China often get invited to. I was thinking how unpleasant I found the experience of drinking lots of shots of baijiu. I wanted to figure out why foreigners dislike the experience so much, whereas the people of China love and celebrate it.
答:几年前我参加了一场酒宴;在中国人们经常会受邀参加此类酒宴。在回去的路上我在想,白酒喝多了的感觉非常不舒服。我想弄清楚为什么外国人如此厌恶这一体验,而中国人却酷爱并且颂扬它。
Did you ever learn to like it?
问:那你后来喜欢上白酒了吗?
There was a theory going around that if you drank 300 shots that was the threshold - you would go from someone who hated it to someone who appreciated it. That theory sounded like hogwash.
答:如今流传有一种理论,说如果你喝够了300杯白酒,那你就能对白酒由恨转爱。这理论听着很扯。
