   In the USA, July is National Hot Dog Month. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council decided 1 that National Hot Dog Day would be around July 23rd every year. In fact, Hot Dog Day is celebrated 2 outside of the USA too. There are celebrations in Canada, Great Britain and Germany. The main activity on this day is to eat hot dogs, but there are other activities and events. The event with the highest profile is the annual Hot Dog Lunch on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. More than 1,000 Washington officials celebrate the hot dog at the lunch. The Hot Dog Council provides information about hot dogs and how to eat them. They even provide advice on hot dog eating etiquette 3. There is a lot more to eating hot dogs than most people think.


  在美国,7月是全国热狗月。全国热狗和香肠委员会决定将每年的“全国热狗日”放在7月23号左右举行。事实上,美国以外的国家也会庆祝。加英德三国也会庆祝。这天的最主要活动就是品尝热狗,但还会举行其它活动。最引人瞩目的活动要数华盛顿国会山的年度热狗午宴。超一千名华盛顿官员将庆祝热狗日。全国热狗委员会提供了有关热狗,以及如何品尝的信息。甚至还提供了食用礼节的建议。关于食用热狗的信息远比人们想象的要多。

  The German city of Frankfurt is said to be the birthplace of the sausage used in hot dogs – the frankfurter. In 1987, the city celebrated the 500th birthday of the hot dog. The Austrian city Vienna disputes this. Officials there say their Wiener sausages existed many years before frankfurters. North Europeans brought sausages of all kinds to America. The name “hot dog” was first used in 1901 in New York at the New York Polo Grounds. A food seller started selling dachshund sausages in bread rolls. He shouted to people to get them while they were hot. A sports cartoonist didn’t know how to spell “dachshund” and so called them “hot dogs” in a newspaper cartoon the next day. The name has stuck for over a century.
  德国城市法兰克福据说是香肠发源地,即法兰克福香肠。1987年,该城庆祝热狗诞生500周年纪念。奥地利城市维也纳对此表示质疑。当地官员称维也纳香肠在法兰克福香肠之前就已诞生,要早于法兰克福好几年。北欧人将各种香肠传入美国。1901年,“hot dog”一词首先在纽约Polo Grounds球场使用。一位商家开始销售面包卷香肠。他向人们叫卖热喷喷的香肠。一名体育漫画家不知如何拼写“dachshund”:而在第二天的漫画报纸上,他把这种香肠称之为“hot dogs”。并持续了一个多世纪。
