VOA英语：中韩网友为泡菜又吵上了

Chinas effort to win an international certification for Pao Cai, a pickled vegetable dish from Sichuan, is turning into a large disagreement on social media.

中国四川的泡菜得到了国际认证，这在社交媒介上诱发了巨大歧义。

The disagreement is between Chinese and South Korean internet users. They disagree about the origin of Kimchi, a common Korean food made of cabbage.

歧义产生在中韩网民之间。他们对泡菜这种用白菜制成的平常食品的起源有着区别看法。

China recently won a certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for Pao Cai. The state-run Global Times reported the award as "an international standard for the Kimchi industry led by China."

中国近期得到了国际标准化组织对泡菜的认证。《环球时报》叫作这一成便是“中国主导的泡菜行业的国际标准。”

South Koreans quickly disagreed, especially on social media.

韩国人火速就炸锅了，尤其是在社交媒介上。

"Its total nonsense, what a thief stealing our culture!" a South Korean internet user wrote on Naver.com.

“这完全是一派胡言，偷咱们文化的小偷！”一位韩国网民在Naver.com上写道。

"I read a media story that China now says Kimchi is theirs, and that they are making [an] international standard for it...Im worried that they might steal Hanbok and other cultural contents, not just Kimchi," said Kim seol-ha, a 28-year old in Seoul.

首尔28岁的Kim Seol-ha暗示：“我读到一篇媒介报告，中国此刻说泡菜是她们的，她们正在为泡菜制定国际标准。我担心她们会偷走韩服和其他文化内容，而不仅是泡菜。”

Some South Korean media even described the move by China as a "bid for world domination."

有些韩国媒介乃至叫作中国此举是“试图统治世界。”

On Chinas Twitter-like Weibo, Chinese internet users were claiming Kimchi as their countrys own traditional dish. Most of the Kimchi eaten in South Korea is made in China.

在中国的博客上，中国网民叫作泡菜是该国的传统美食。韩国食用的泡菜大部分是中国腌制的。

"Well, if you dont meet the standard, then youre not kimchi," one wrote on Weibo. "Even the pronunciation of kimchi originated from Chinese, what else is there to say," wrote another.

有人在博客上写道：“好吧，倘若你不符合标准，那你就不是泡菜。”另一位用户写道：“乃至韩文中泡菜的发音都出自中文，你还有什么好说的？”

South Koreas agriculture ministry on Sunday released a statement saying that the ISO approved standard does not apply to Kimchi.

韩国农业部周日发布声明叫作，国际标准化组织准许的标准不适用于韩国泡菜。

"It is inappropriate to report (about Pao Cai winning the ISO) without differentiating Kimchi from Pao Cai of Chinas Sichuan," the statement said.

声明写道：“在不将韩国泡菜与四川泡菜区掰开的状况下报告泡菜得到国际标准化组织认证是不恰当的。”
