台湾的传统菜市场
Tái wān de chuán tǒng cài shì chǎng
传统菜市场是一个仍保有台湾当地文化的地点，一个可以更了解台湾当地的生活型态的地方。它主要是一个摊贩聚集贩卖蔬果、肉类或杂货的地点，且这些食材大部分都是摊贩老板自己种植、养殖或自制的，所以在这里可以买到最新鲜和当季的食材，与现代的连锁超市、卖场的风格完全不同，是无法相比的。许多老一辈的台湾人或家庭主妇仍然每天早上到菜市场购买食材回家烹煮，而现在的年轻人几乎都是外食族，所以对传统市场较陌生。

放假时，常常会和朋友相约到英国几个著名的市集逛逛，其实台湾的菜市场和英国的市集满相似的，但对我来说，最大的不同是地方的人情味，许多摊贩为了吸引顾客的目光，都有自己特色的喊卖口号，有时甚至在网路引起热潮呢！这些起起落落的市场叫卖声和家庭主妇的杀价声更能体会出大家为了生活而奋斗的努力和台湾浓浓的人情味。除此之外，最特别的是有些户外市场可以接受人民骑车进去市场，可以随买随走，非常方便。

台灣的傳統菜市場
Tái wān de chuán tǒng cài shì chǎng
傳統菜市場是一個仍保有台灣當地文化的地點，一個可以更了解台灣當地的生活型態的地方。它主要是一個攤販聚集販賣蔬果、肉類或雜貨的地點，且這些食材大部分都是攤販老闆自己種植、養殖或自製的，所以在這裡可以買到最新鮮和當季的食材，與現代的連鎖超市、賣場的風格完全不同，是無法相比的。許多老一輩的台灣人或家庭主婦仍然每天早上到菜市場購買食材回家烹煮，而現在的年輕人幾乎都是外食族，所以對傳統市場較陌生。

Taiwanese Traditional Markets
Traditional market is a place where Taiwanese local culture is still preserved, a place you should visit if you wish to understand authentic Taiwanese lifestyle. It is primarily a place that gathers vendors to sell vegetable, meat and groceries. Most of the produce and food are grown, cultivated and homemade by the vendors, so people are able to buy the freshest and seasonal food here, which cannot be competed and is completely different from the modern supermarkets and stores. Many older generations or housewives still go to traditional markets every morning to buy fresh ingredients to cook at home, but most young people nowadays eat out and they are relatively unfamiliar with traditional markets.
I often visit some of the famous markets in the UK during holidays. I found that they are similar to the traditional markets in Taiwan. However, for me, the biggest difference between the two places is the warmth and friendliness. In order to catch customer’s attention, many vendors have their own distinctive slogans and sometimes even cause a trend on the Internet. The sounds of peddling from vendors and bargaining from housewives fill the markets, which is a representation of the hardworking nature of Taiwanese people and a strong connection of local community. Additionally, the most special feature is that some of the outdoor traditional markets allow people to enter by scooter, serving as a drive thru for customer to buy as they go, which is very convenient.
