Hello, 我們好久不見。最近和國內的朋友聊天的時候發現大家對瑞典可能有些小小的誤會和問題，所以今天小詹要解答大家各種關於瑞典的各種問題。話不多說，我們直接切入正題吧。
Hello, long time no see. When chatting with friends in China recently, I found that everyone may have some small misunderstandings and confusions about Sweden. So today, I will answer all kinds of questions you have about Sweden. Without further ado, let's get straight to the point.
1. 瑞典人真的吃鯡魚罐頭嗎？
1. Do Swedes really eat canned herring?
是的，不僅是是鯡魚罐頭，超市裡還有各種各樣的其他醃製魚，味道大家如果有興趣的話可以自己親自來瑞典體會一下，反正我是接受不了。
Yes, not only canned herring but also a variety of other marinated fish that you could find in the supermarket. If you are interested, you can come to Sweden and try them yourself. Anyway, I can't accept it.
2. 為什麼鯡魚罐頭是臭的？瑞典人偷了臭豆腐的配方？
2. Why is canned herring stinky? The Swedes stole our recipe?
鯡魚罐頭屬於發酵食品，硬要說的話它和泡菜是親戚（同樣的氣味和製作方式）。首先是在精準的溫度下清洗新鮮的鯡魚們，它們可能從來沒想過自己會被做成食物，還是最沒人愛的那種。之後就是處理內臟再剪掉魚頭，不要擔心浪費糧食，這些魚頭都會變成飼料或者肥料的。處理之後，乾乾淨淨的鯡魚們就被放在桶裡等待常溫冷藏庫的召喚了。在冷倉庫裡，它們會被放入未經殺菌的大筒，讓它在較淡的鹽水中，讓它在合適的溼度中，讓它在15-20攝氏度中逐漸凝聚，催生出一種號稱是菌中之王的「Haloanaerobium」厭氧菌。隨後，罐中細菌就會瘋狂的成長，不斷釋放出二氧化碳、乙酸、丙酸、丁酸及硫化氫這些氣體，也就是臭味的來源。所以，鯡魚罐頭並沒有侵權臭豆腐。
Canned herring is a fermented food, and to be honest it might be a relative of kimchi (same smell and preparation). The first step is to wash fresh herrings at precise temperatures, they probably never thought they would be made into food specifically the most unloved one. After that, the internal organs are removed and the fish heads are cut off. Don't worry about wasting food, these fish heads will become feed or fertilizer. After this, the clean herrings were placed in buckets and waited for the call of the cold warehouse. In the cold warehouse, they will be put into unsterilized large cylinders, let them be in light saltwater, let them be in the right humidity, and let them gradually condense at 15-20 degrees celsius, giving rise to a so-called king of bacteria "Haloanaerobium" anaerobic bacteria. Subsequently, the bacteria in the tank will grow wildly, continuously releasing carbon dioxide, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and hydrogen sulfide gas, which is the source of the odor. Therefore, canned herring does not infringe stinky tofu.
3. 瑞典人怎麼吃鯡魚罐頭？他們真的吃嗎？
3. How do Swedes eat canned herring? Do they really eat?
做都做出來了哪有不吃的道理，不光瑞典人吃，鯡魚罐頭還被送往全世界。吃罐頭之前準備Surstromming（鯡魚罐頭）、 薄脆片、黃油、酸奶油、洋蔥絲和熟土豆片。用一塊Kavli薄脆片做餅底, 先為餅底塗上黃油，在Kavli薄脆片放上適量的Surstromming，再塗上酸奶油放上土豆及洋蔥，最後拿一塊Kavli薄脆片蓋上就可以食用了。做好之後就是下圖的樣子，看起來也沒有很黑暗，如果大家嘗試了請告訴小詹是什麼味的，我很好奇。
There's no reason not to eat it when it's made, not only do the Swedes eat it, but canned herring is also sent to the world. To eat canned herring, prepare Surstromming (canned herring), crackers, butter, sour cream, shredded onions, and cooked potato chips. Use a piece of Kavli chip as the base, first spread butter for the base, put a proper amount of Surstromming on the Kavli chip, then spread the sour cream on the potato and onion, and finally take a Kavli chip and cover it and serve. After it's done, it will look like the picture below. It doesn't look awful. If you try it, please tell me what it tastes like, I'm very curious about it.
4. 瑞典人是海盜嗎？
4. Are the Swedes pirates?
不該問的不要問，不該說的不要說。這個問題對瑞典人來說非常不禮貌。瑞典人是斯堪地納維亞人的後代，瑞典本地人擁有純粹的日耳曼血統，所以理論上來說瑞典人確實是海盜。但這只是理論上，經過時間的磨練現在的瑞典人和海盜毫無關係。如果你真的去找一個瑞典人問他們是不是海盜，不是海盜也會被你逼成海盜的，還有可能拿出祖傳的鯡魚罐頭來請你一起用餐。
Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say. This question is very rude to Swedes. The Swedes are descended from the Scandinavians, and the native Swedes have pure Germanic blood, so theoretically the Swedes are indeed pirates. But this is only in theory, now the Swedes have nothing to do with pirates. If you do go to a Swede and ask them if they're pirates, they will definitely be super mad at you, and they might even bring out an heirloom can of herring and invite you to dinner.
5. 瑞典和瑞士？
5. Sweden and Switzerland?
瑞典和瑞士傻傻分不清？瑞典處於北歐，較為寒冷，你只要記住鯡魚罐頭產自瑞典就好了。瑞士較為中立，土特產有巧克力和軍刀。
Can't tell the difference between Sweden and Switzerland? Sweden is in northern Europe and it's colder, just remember that canned herring comes from Sweden. Switzerland is more neutral, with chocolates and saber knives as local specialties.
6. 瑞典有什麼土特產？
6. What are the specialties of Sweden?
除了鯡魚罐頭之外瑞典好東西其實還挺多的。先說幾個品牌，宜家，沃爾沃，還有曾經屬於瑞典的 Absolute Vodka。以及最有名的諾貝爾獎也是來自於瑞典，它是根據是根據瑞典化學家阿爾弗雷德·諾貝爾遺囑所設立的。瑞典也有很多好的護膚，藥妝，母嬰品牌（問一下廣大婦女群眾，她們肯定有所耳聞）。護膚藥妝品牌有ACO，Jabu'sh等，母嬰品牌BabyBjorn在北歐也是非常出名。宜家算是家喻戶曉，瑞典人不光從宜家買家具，他們還在宜家約會。宜家的飯很便宜因此吸引了很多年輕情侶來此約會。
In addition to canned herring, there are actually quite a lot of good things in Sweden. Let’s talk about a few brands first, IKEA, Volvo, and Absolute Vodka, which once belonged to Sweden. And the most famous Nobel Prize is also from Sweden, which was established according to the will of Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel. Sweden also has a lot of good skincare, cosmeceutical, and baby brands (ask the majority of women, they must have heard of it). Skincare, cosmeceutical brands include ACO, Jabu'sh, etc. The baby brand BabyBjorn is also very famous in Northern Europe. IKEA is a household name, and Swedes don’t just buy furniture from IKEA, they also date at IKEA. Ikea's meals are cheap and attract many young couples to date here.
7. 瑞典全是素食主義者？
7. Is Sweden all vegan?
當然不是，不然怎麼會有人吃肉丸子（瑞典傳統美食）？素食者主義者也分兩種，一種即全素，不吃雞蛋，魚，蝦，不喝牛奶。另一種就是蛋奶素，他們吃雞蛋魚蝦喝牛奶。有些素食主義者吃素是因為宗教原因，也有一些是為了環保或保護動物。吃素瑞典人顯然大部分都更傾向於後兩種。那吃素的人吃什麼蛋白質呢？他們吃各種各樣的豆製品做的假肉，假奶，假芝士。因為瑞典素食主義者佔比較多，學校也會單獨給素食主義者提供素食的飯菜。
Of course not, otherwise why would anyone eat meatballs (a traditional Swedish delicacy)? There are also two types of vegetarians, one is vegan, which does not eat eggs, fish, shrimp, and does not drink milk. The other is half vegetarian, they eat eggs, fish, and shrimp and drink milk. Some vegans are vegetarian for religious reasons, while others are for environmental protection or animal protection. Vegetarians in Sweden apparently mostly prefer the latter two. What protein do vegetarians eat? They eat fake meat, fake milk, fake cheese made from all kinds of soy products. Because of the high proportion of vegetarians in Sweden, schools also provide vegetarian meals separately for vegans.

8. 瑞典很冷？
8. Sweden is cold?
是的，瑞典靠近北極圈，所以整體溫度偏低。冬天部分地區會出現極夜，夏天部分地區會出現極晝的現象。哥德堡算是瑞典偏南了，不會出現極晝極夜的現象但是夏天晚上也是12點多天黑早上4點多就亮了，冬天更慘，九點上學天還黑著，下午三點回家天又黑了。
Yes, Sweden is close to the Arctic Circle so its average temperature is lower than China. There will be polar nights in some areas in winter, and polar days in some areas in summer. Gothenburg is considered to be in the south of Sweden, so there will be no polar days and nights, but in summer it is bright outside until 12 o'clock in the evening, and it is bright at 4 o'clock in the morning. Winter is even worse. It is still dark when I go to school at nine o'clock, and it is dark again when I go home at three in the afternoon.
(夏天一天的日照時常)
9. 在瑞典給孩子取名叫Ikea或者Elvis違法？
9. Is it illegal to name a child Ikea or Elvis in Sweden?
雖然聽起來很離譜但是確實是這樣的。這大概是瑞典最奇怪的法律之一了吧，不知道在立法前瑞典都經歷了什麼。小詹認識的瑞典人真的一個叫這倆名的都沒有。
It sounds outrageous but it is. This is probably one of the weirdest laws in Sweden, I don't know what Sweden went through before the legislation. There are really no Swedes that I know with these two names.
好啦，今天就先到這裡了，我們下期見。
That is it, see you in the next issue.
