冬至吃什么？——饺子
除夕吃什么？——饺子
饺子尤其在北方无疑在饮食方面扮演着非常重要的角色，说到在歪果仁眼里最有名的中国食物，肯定也是非饺子莫属
那么饺子的英文怎么说才对?
当你要向歪果仁介绍中国饺子时，
可千万别说“dumplings”！
为什么不能说dumplings？
在歪果仁看来
凡是"面皮包着馅儿"的都叫dumplings
所以，远不止饺子

还有云吞、包子、馅饼、灌汤包、韭菜盒子……
饺子用英语应该怎么说?

Jiaozi (Chinese Dumplings)
Filled with vegetables and/or meat, jiaozi – or Chinese dumplings – are common street foods. They are shaped like ancient gold ingots, which were believed to bring you good luck. In China dumplings usually refers to boiled dumplings and they are often eaten with a dip of soy-vinegar sauce for flavor. One bite releases a mouthful of hot, juicy broth that reaches every sense on the tongue, creating an explosive mixture of flavors. Jiaozis are eaten all throughout the year, but more so on Chinese New Years.
蔬菜或肉馅的饺子是常见的街头小吃。它们的形状像古代的金锭，被认为会给你带来好运。在中国说到饺子一般就是指煮的，吃时需要蘸上酱油醋调味。一口咬下去能吃出滚烫多汁的馅料，刺激你舌头的每一处感觉，创造出一种爆炸性的混合味道。人们一年到头都要吃饺子，但在春节时更是如此。

If dumplings//www.58yuanyou.com are laid flatly on a pan, first steamed with a lid on and with a thin layer of water, then fried in oil after the water has been evaporated, they are called guotie (锅贴, literally translates to "potstickers"). The same dumplings are called jiaozi if they are just steamed or boiled.
把饺子平铺在平底锅上油炸之后的菜肴被称为guotie(锅贴，翻译成potstickers)。如果dumplings只是蒸或煮就被称为饺子。
类似的还有sweet dumplings就是汤圆，
soup dumplings就是灌汤包或者小笼包，
glutinous rice（糯米） dumplings就是粽子，
甚至国外还有各式各样的dumplings
