In the winter season, when chilly temperatures and frigid winds prevail over the land, people like to eat food that instantly warms their bodies and lifts their spirits. For that, the hot pot is a delicious and hearty choice. Families or groups of friends sit around a table and eat from a steaming pot in the middle, cooking and drinking and chatting. Eating hot pot is not a passive activity: diners must select morsels of prepared raw food from plates scattered around the table, place them in the pot, wait for them to cook, fish them out of the soup, dip them in the preferred sauce, and then eat them hot, fresh, and tender. They can also ladle up the broth from the pot and drink it.
嚴寒刺骨的冬天家淤，人們喜歡吃那些溫暖身心的食物。因此，美味的火鍋就成了人們的心儀之選帘不。家人朋友圍坐一張桌子旁哑蔫，吃著熱氣騰騰的火鍋，邊涮著食材邊喝酒聊天。吃火鍋不是被動的活動（這里就理解成不是吃現(xiàn)成兒的快毛，Jewel注）：食客自己選擇被擺放在四周的生的食材漠另，將其放進鍋里煮熟捏雌，等食材沸騰，撈出來笆搓，沾著他們的最愛的醬料性湿，然后趁熱吃，味道鮮美满败，滑嫩肤频，有些人還喜歡喝火鍋湯底。（Jewel的P.S:高中生物老師說這樣嘌呤太多算墨，容易得癲癇）

1.Don’t feel you need to purchase an authentic Asian Hot Pot (also called a firepot) to enjoy this popular dish. Aluminum, stainless steel, and electric fondue pots can all be used for hot pot cooking.
