正文

On Wednesday evening, chefs in South Australia will learn whether their cooking has earned a famous food honour. At a ceremony at the Adelaide Convention Centre, the Michelin Guide will reveal its first restaurant selection for the state. It will be the first Michelin Guide for any part of Australia, a country where no restaurant has yet held a Michelin star.

周三晚间，南澳大利亚州的厨师们将得知自己的烹饪是否赢得了一项著名的美食荣誉。在阿德莱德会议中心举行的仪式上，米其林指南将公布该州首份餐厅名单。这将是澳大利亚任何地区的第一本米其林指南；在这个国家，此前还没有餐厅获得过米其林星级。

The guide has an unusual history. It began in France in the late 1800s, when the Michelin brothers wanted to help their tyre business. They printed a book with maps and tips for drivers, including places to eat and stay. For over a century, it mainly served diners in Europe. It only expanded to Asia and the Americas in the 2000s.

这本指南的来历很特别。它于19世纪末诞生于法国，当时米其林兄弟想为自家的轮胎生意助力。他们印制了一本给驾车者的小册子，里面有地图和实用提示，包括吃饭和住宿的地方。一百多年来，它主要服务于欧洲的食客，直到2000年代才扩展到亚洲和美洲。

That growth often comes with a bill. Some tourism authorities have paid to bring the guide to their regions. In July, New Zealand became the first place in Oceania to get a Michelin star, after reportedly paying $6.3 million over three years. Michelin first approached Tourism Australia in 2016, but the national body decided against the plan. South Australia’s government later chose to pay on its own, but it keeps the price secret for commercial reasons.

这种扩张往往伴随着一笔费用。一些旅游主管机构曾出资把指南引入本地区。今年7月，新西兰成为大洋洲第一个获得米其林星级的地方，据报道为此在三年内支付了630万元。米其林早在2016年就曾与澳大利亚旅游局接洽，但这家全国性机构决定不予合作。后来，南澳州政府选择独自出资，但出于商业原因对价格保密。

Why would a state spend public money on a restaurant guide? Tourism Minister Emily Bourke believes it can put South Australia “on the world map.” Visitors already come for its food and wine, she said, and the guide supports the claim that the state is among the best. Duncan Welgemoed, who runs the Adelaide restaurant Africola, expects a quick effect. When a restaurant he led in Britain won a star, bookings rose sharply overnight. Some travellers, he added, plan whole trips around starred restaurants.

一个州为什么要花公共资金引进一本餐厅指南？旅游部长埃米莉·伯克认为，这能让南澳“登上世界地图”。她说，游客本来就会为当地的美食和葡萄酒而来，而指南能进一步支持“该州跻身最佳之列”的说法。在阿德莱德经营Africola餐厅的邓肯·韦尔格莫德预计效果会很快显现。他在英国主理的一家餐厅获得星级时，订位一夜之间大幅增加。他还说，有些游客会围绕星级餐厅规划整趟旅行。

Paying for a guide does not decide which restaurants appear in it, according to Michelin. Its inspectors choose where to eat and visit without saying who they are. The guide says they judge only the food, not the decoration, atmosphere or service. The first selection will cover regional areas as well as the city.

据米其林介绍，出资引进指南并不能决定哪些餐厅入选。检查员自行选择去哪里用餐，并且在探访时不透露身份。指南称他们只评判食物，而不考虑装潢、氛围或服务。首份名单将同时覆盖城市和地区各地。

Still, not everyone sees a star as a simple gift. Catheryn Khoo, a professor of hospitality and tourism at Torrens University, says inspectors from a French tradition have sometimes judged food by their own standards rather than by more international ones. Some chefs have even returned their stars, she noted, because the pressure can hurt kitchen teams. Her advice to local chefs is to keep doing what they do best, whatever the list says.

本段译文

不过，并非人人都把星级看作单纯的礼物。托伦斯大学酒店与旅游学教授凯瑟琳·库表示，来自法国传统的检查员有时会按他们自己的标准而非更国际化的标准来评判食物。她指出，有些厨师甚至退还了星级，因为相关压力可能伤害厨房团队。她给本地厨师的建议是：无论名单结果如何，继续做好自己最擅长的事。
