《Birthday Food Around the World》的翻译：

世界各地的生日食品

人们在他们生日的时候都愿意吃什么呢？在不同的国家，有不同的答案。

在许多国家，人们会吃生日蛋糕，上面插满了蜡烛。蜡烛的根数就是每个人的年龄。寿星必须要许个愿望，并把蜡烛吹灭。如果他或她一口气把所有的蜡烛吹灭，那么其许的愿望将会成真。在英国，人们有时也会在生日蛋糕里放一块糖果。吃到糖果的孩子是幸运的。

在中国，过生日吃蛋糕已经是一个潮流。但是有很多人仍然喜欢在生日当天吃长寿面。他们从不把面条咬断，因为长面条是长寿的象征。在一些地方，中国人也会在生日当天吃鸡蛋，它们象征着生命和好运。

虽然各地的这些生日食品可能是不同的，但是寓意是相同的。它们都会给过生日的人带来好运。
