壹苹派生活美语　让人又爱又怕的蓝纹起司

　　The legend goes that a shepherd was enjoying his lunch of bread and cheese in a cave. When he saw a pretty woman in the distance, he left his food there and forgot about it. When he returned months later, he found the cheese had turned blue. Although some varieties are still made in caves, the technology for making blue cheese has greatly advanced over the centuries. Blue cheese is a perfect match to your diet, as it is surprisingly good for our health. Like most dairy products, it is rich in calcium and protein, both of which help build strong teeth and muscles.

　　据说有一位牧羊人在洞穴里享用面包和起司当午餐。当他看到远处有一个漂亮的女人时，他把食物留在那然后就忘记了。几个月后，当他回去时，他发现起司变成蓝色的了。尽管有些种类仍是在洞穴里制作的，但经过几个世纪，制作蓝纹起司的技术已大有进展。蓝纹起司是你饮食中的绝佳添加物，因为它出乎意料地对我们的健康非常有益。与大多数乳制品一样，它富含钙和蛋白质，这两者都有助于强健牙齿和肌肉。
