近日，莫斯科第七次舉辦國際糖果節。前來觀展的遊客能看到具有異國情調的拉丁美洲巧克力、焦糖熬制的畫作、式樣各異的俄羅斯姜餅。俄羅斯姜餅一般點綴著酥糖、果醬和帕斯蒂拉（pastila）。
Gingerbread can rightfully claim to be one of Russia’s original sweets. A dessert called “honey bread” was first enjoyed in Ancient Egypt and came to Russia in the 9th Century, when the legendary Rurik and Oleg of Novgorod joined together separate East Slavic and Finno-Ugric tribes to form a unified state.

姜餅完全有理由被稱為俄羅斯甜點的源頭之一。最早在古埃及廣受歡迎的甜品“蜂蜜面包”於9世紀傳入俄羅斯。在該時期，充滿傳說色彩的諾夫哥羅德大公留里克和奧列格聯合作戰：他們瓦解了東斯拉夫及芬蘭-烏戈爾的各部落，建立起統一國家。
At that time, gingerbread was made from rye flour mixed with honey and berry juice. It got its modern name when people started enhancing this recipe with spices from India and the Middle East. These spices first appeared in Russia in the 12th-13th centuries. This is gingerbread has “Arkhangelsk” written on it. This city is located 1200 kilometers from Moscow, but the most famous Russian gingerbread comes from a city much closer to the capital: Tula, about 120 miles south of Moscow.

在當時，姜餅由混有蜂蜜和漿果汁的黑麥面粉制成。後來人們用印度和中東的香料對其配方進行改進，這種甜食因而有了現在的名字。這些香料最早是在12至13世紀出現在俄羅斯。圖中姜餅上寫著“阿爾漢格爾斯克”；該城市距莫斯科1200公里。不過，最有名氣的姜餅則是來自離首都更近的城市：位於莫斯科以南約192公里的圖拉。
Tula is also famous from the samovars that it manufactures. Made from copper or brass, capable of producing 26 gallons of tea or only a thimble-full, each samovar tells a story of the city – and of Russia.

圖拉也因盛產茶炊聞名。這些茶炊通常由銅或黃銅制成，能煮出一小杯或26加侖的茶水，每個茶炊都講述著這座城市以及俄羅斯的故事。
This is exotic Ecuadoran chocolate. But the chocolate “Alyonka” has been famous in Russia since Soviet times. Alyonka may not be the tastiest chocolate in Russia, but it is probably the most recognized brand in the Russian chocolate industry.

圖為充滿異國情調的厄瓜多爾巧克力。相比較，“阿廖卡”巧克力早在蘇聯時期就已在俄羅斯名聲大噪。“阿廖卡”也許不是俄羅斯最好吃的巧克力，但可能是俄羅斯最知名的巧克力品牌。
Russian merchants have long enjoyed strong trading links with the Middle East and one of the most popular Russian sweets – pastila – is reminiscent of Turkish Delight. These days, pastila is enjoying more and more popularity, a fact well represented in the hundreds of recipes for make it. Some of those include nuts, fruits, berries, and caramel.

俄羅斯商人一直與中東保持著密切的商業聯系，帕斯蒂拉是俄羅斯最流行的甜食之一，很容易讓人聯想到土耳其軟糖。近年來，帕斯蒂拉的人氣越來越高，最好的印證就是出現了數百份有關該甜食的食譜。帕斯蒂拉有時會搭配堅果、水果、漿果和焦糖。
Candy production could be jokingly called Russia’s national idea. No matter what upheaval the country has gone through – war, revolution, economic implosion – the production of sweet things never stopped. Many candies have kept the Soviet design on their wrappers.

糖果業可被戲稱為俄羅斯的國家思想。這個國家無論經歷何種動蕩——戰爭、革命、經濟崩潰，都從未停止生產甜食。許多糖果的包裝都沿用了其蘇聯時期的設計。
Most of Russia has a northern climate, and its brief summers mean fruit is scarce. As a result, hardy varieties of apple are a favorite ingredient in Russian cooking. They can be baked or dipped in caramel.

俄羅斯大部分地區屬於北方氣候類型；短暫的夏季意味著水果短缺。因此，耐寒的蘋果品種是俄羅斯菜的熱門配料。蘋果可以烘烤或蘸焦糖。
Smokva (Fruit Leather). This sweet has almost been forgotten, but you can still find it in some Russian villages. In the olden days this was known as “dried paradise apple.” In essence, it tastes a bit like modern-day fruit pastels. It is made by boiling up pectin-rich fruits such as apples, quinces, plums and rowanberries.

水果幹（Smokva）幾乎已被遺忘，但仍可在某些俄羅斯村莊找到它。舊時它被稱為“來自天堂的幹果”。從本質上說，其味道有點像現代的水果醬，由富含果膠的水果煮沸而成，如蘋果、木瓜、李子和花楸漿果等。
Children were absolutely enthralled by the Sweets Festival.

糖果節讓孩子們如癡如醉。
They learned how to make chocolates with fillings, how to make a gingerbread house, how to make caramel lollipops, and, perhaps most importantly, how to decorate and eat them.

孩子們學會制作夾心巧克力、姜餅屋、焦糖棒棒糖。也許最重要的收獲是，學會如何裝飾甜品並吃掉它們。
Another very popular type of sweets was chocolate-glazed fruits. They were based on a French import and their recipe was a closely-held secret. Abrikosov secretly built a factory on the Black Sea to create his chocolate-glazed fruits.

另一個非常受歡迎的甜食是巧克力釉面水果。該甜食以法國進口為主，其配方一直被嚴格保密。阿布里科索夫悄悄在黑海設工廠以開發自己的巧克力釉面水果。
