第八届世界川菜大会将于10月31日至11月2日在乐山举办。美食是乐山走向世界的闪亮名片。现在我将向你展示为什么说“食在四川，味在乐山”。

The 8th World Sichuan Cuisine Conference will be held in Leshan from October 31st to November 2nd.Cuisine is Leshan's showcase to the world.Now, let me show you why it is said that "Sichuan is the land of food, but Leshan holds its soul."

这里是乐山。

Welcome to Leshan.

千年大佛矗立三江汇流之处。

Here, where three mighty rivers converge, sits the millennia-old Giant Buddha.

丰饶的物产，发达的水运，走南闯北的人们在这里汇聚，交换着彼此的口味喜好。

Blessed with abundant produce and thriving river trade, travelers from all corners gathered here, exchanging tastes and preferences.

一根竹签，万物皆可串。

A single bamboo skewer holds a universe of flavors.

乐山的餐桌装得下山川河海。

A Leshan table embraces mountains, rivers, and seas.

百菜百味，调和总相宜。辣得冒汗，麻得咧嘴，再以甜蜜来抚慰，嘶哈吸气间嘴角依然保持微笑，什么烦恼都轻松看开。

A hundred dishes, a hundred distinct tastes, all harmoniously balanced. Sweating from the heat, grinning through　a tingling numbing sensation, then soothed by a touch of sweetness – amidst　the hisses and gasps, smiles linger. All worries simply melt away.

乐山人天生就有化寻常为美味的本事。一众上不了台面的“边角料”也能成餐桌主角。

The people of Leshan possess a natural genius for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Humble　scraps　overlooked elsewhere, become stars of the table.

一把牛骨、一段肥肠、一方豆腐、一尾鳝鱼……非遗技艺在灶台烟火中代代相传。

A beef bone, a section of intestine, a cube of tofu, a river eel... non-heritage culinary arts pass down through generations amidst the sizzle and steam of the wok.

勤劳能干的“孃孃”们占据乐山美食江湖半壁江山。

The industrious aunties rule half of Leshan's vibrant food scene.

她们用自己名字做招牌，凭借高超手艺叱咤风云。

They put their names on the sign and dominated the scene with their ful craft.

像亲切的家人关心你的一日三餐，端上来的每一碗都诚意满满。

Like caring family, they tend to your daily meals; every bowl they serve overflows with　heartfelt dedication.

乐山人天生佛系，对美食却有极致追求，对生活始终热情相待。

Leshan folk embody a laid-back spirit, yet pursue culinary perfection with passion and embrace life with unwavering warmth.

乐山美食的好，说也说不完，等你来品尝！第八届世界川菜大会欢迎你到乐山来品尝。

The delights of Leshan's cuisine are beyond description——come and savor them for yourself! We invite you to the 8th World Sichuan Cuisine Conference to experience it all.
