I am wondering if you could help me clarify the difference between “vegan,” “vegetarian,” and “veggie.”

我想知道你是否能帮我弄清楚veggie、vegetarian和vegan之间的区别。

Some of the answers might surprise you!

其中一些答案可能会让你大吃一惊!

Let’s start with “veggie.”

我们先看veggie这个词。

In American English, the noun “veggie” is a shortened and informal way to say “vegetable.”

在美式英语中,名词veggie是“蔬菜”的缩写,也是非正式用法。

It is used as a countable2 noun.

它被用作可数名词。

To make the noun plural3 we add an “s.”

加上s就成了复数名词。

Veggie can also be used as an adjective meaning “vegetarian.”

veggie也可以用作形容词,意思是“素食的”。

American English speakers often use “veggie” as an adjective to describe vegetarian recipes and dishes rather than describing people as being “veggies.”

说美式英语的人经常用veggie作为形容词,来描述素食食谱和素菜,而不用于形容人。

Now let’s move onto “vegetarian.”

现在我们来说说vegetarian吧。

As a noun, a “vegetarian” is a person who does not eat meat or fish.

这是一个名词,指的是不吃肉或鱼的人。

They usually eat foods made from plants.

他们通常吃植物制成的食物。

There are different kinds of vegetarians7.

素食者分很多种。

Other people are flexible in their diet.

还有一些人在饮食上很灵活。

For example, they might eat vegetarian food on some days of the week and eat animal products on other days.

例如,他们可能在一周中的某几天吃素食,而在剩下几天吃荤食。

They are called “flexitarians.”

他们被称为“弹性素食者”。

“Vegetarian” can also be an adjective describing something that only has fruit or vegetables and no meat or fish.

vegetarian也可以是形容词,描述只有水果或蔬菜,没有肉或鱼的东西。

I love Indian food not just for the bold and spicy8 flavors, but there are many vegetarian choices!

Let’s move onto “vegan.”

接着再说说vegan吧。

If a vegetarian does not eat fish or meat, what is a vegan?

如果素食者是不吃鱼或肉的人,那vegan是什么呢?

A vegan, as a noun, is someone who does not eat or use any animal products or products made from animals.

vegan(严格素食者)作为名词指不吃和不使用任何动物制品或原料来自动物的产品的人。

This can include things like honey from bees, whey protein from milk, and a color made from crushed insects called carmine9 often used in cosmetics11.
