雅思阅读材料之男孩生日收到1比1真人版蛋糕

 

When it comes to birthday treats, most four-year-olds would gleefully try to eat their own bodyweight in cake.

要说生日吃啥大餐，大多数4岁大的孩子恨不得吃下跟自己体重一样分量的蛋糕。

 

So for Alfie Rose, it was a dream come true when he was presented with a life-sized replica of himself made from chocolate sponge.

而一个叫Alfie Rose的小男孩竟美梦成真了，因为他收到了一个按照他的模样等比例做成的巧克力海绵蛋糕。

 

It is so realistic, it looks like a waxwork model of the boy himself – only a lot tastier.

这个蛋糕跟Alfie非常形似，像是为他度身打造的蜡像，只是这个“蜡像”更美味。

 

The cake weighs two stone and was made from a dozen tiers of sponge which were then coated in chocolate and buttercream icing and airbrushed with edible food colouring.

这个蛋糕重2英石（12.7千克），由很多层海绵蛋糕组成，外面裹上了巧克力酱和奶油糖霜，然后涂上可食用染料。

 

And because the real Alfie is never far from his favourite monkey cuddly toy, an identical edible monkey forms part of the amazing birthday surprise.

因为Alfie总是将他的毛绒猴子玩偶带在身边，所以一个一模一样的猴子也成了这份生日惊喜的重要部分。

 

It took 27-year-old baker Lara Clarke 15 hours to make, and was a gift ordered by Alfie's godmother Tammy Morris, 25, and her husband Stephen, 35.

这个蛋糕由27岁的面包师Lara Clarke完成，花费了她足足15个小时。订蛋糕的是Alfie25岁的教母Tammy Morris，以及她35岁的丈夫Stephen。

 

Alfie's mother Chantelle Rose, 23, said: 'I couldn't believe how amazing the cake looked, and I just cried. Alfie was so happy. He was just screaming and pointing, "It's me, it's me, it's Alfie and monkey".

Alfie的母亲Chantelle Rose现年23岁，她说：“我真不敢相信这个蛋糕竟然那么棒，我都哭了。Alfie看到了非常高兴，他一直指着蛋糕尖叫：‘那是我，那真的是我，那是Alfie和他的猴子玩偶。’”
