托福词汇之“蛋挞”用英语怎么说
英语课
首先，我们来看一段来自CNN官网的文字：
Famous in Taiwan - In an island easily conquered by food fads 1 including Japanese octopus 2 balls and doughnuts, one of the first items that became hot in demand in Taiwan were Portuguese 3 egg tarts 5. In 1997, the island developed an obsession 6 with the egg tarts, establishing hundreds of shops selling egg tarts, only to close down in a matter of months after the trend died down.

其实已经很清楚了，“蛋挞”对应的英文是
egg tart 4
它是一个可数名词，复数为egg tarts。其中的“挞”，就是tart的音译，我们常说的“葡式蛋挞”就是Portuguese egg tart。
以下资料供大家参考：
The egg tart or egg custard tart (commonly romanized as dàn tà (Mandarin), dan that or dan tat) is a kind of custard tart found in Hong Kong, Portugal, England, and various Asian countries, which consists of an outer pastry 7 crust that is filled with egg custard and baked.
