壹蘋派生活美語　讓人又愛又怕的藍紋起司

　　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.

　　據說有一位牧羊人在洞穴裡享用麵包和起司當午餐。當他看到遠處有一個漂亮的女人時，他把食物留在那然後就忘記了。幾個月後，當他回去時，他發現起司變成藍色的了。儘管有些種類仍是在洞穴裡製作的，但經過幾個世紀，製作藍紋起司的技術已大有進展。藍紋起司是你飲食中的絕佳添加物，因為它出乎意料地對我們的健康非常有益。與大多數乳製品一樣，它富含鈣和蛋白質，這兩者都有助於強健牙齒和肌肉。
