多国举行活动，向歧视华人说“不”

In the wake of coronavirus-prompted discrimination against the Chinese community and Asian restaurants, a new event called Asialicious took over Toronto from February 14 to 28.

在冠状病毒引发对华人社区和亚洲餐馆的歧视之后，一个名为“亚洲美味”的新活动于2月14日至28日在多伦多举行。

Speareheaded by the Chinese Cuisine and Hospitality Association of Canada (CCHAC), Asialicious was announced to support "crisis-stricken Chinese-Canadian restaurants."

“亚洲美味”活动由加拿大中餐及酒店管理协会牵头举办，旨在为“深陷危机的加拿大华裔餐厅”提供支持。

The two-week event will see promotions running at more than 100 Asian restaurants across the city, including brands with multiple locations like Hotopia, Magic Noodle, Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea, and Happy Lamb Hot Pot.

在为期两周的活动中，多伦多100多家亚洲餐厅举行促销，其中包括Hotopia、魔面、一坊台湾果茶和快乐羊肉火锅等在多地有连锁店的品牌。

CCHAC's president Catherine Hou made a public announcement about the event alongside Markham's major, Frank Scarpitti, who recently visited the restaurant Wuhan Noodle 1950 following racist attacks on the business.

加拿大中餐及酒店管理协会会长侯朋朋与万锦市市长薛家平一起宣布这一活动开始。薛家平最近到访了此前受到种族主义攻击的“武汉热干面1950”面馆。

They're still amassing participating businesses, but promotions will span from signature meal deals to contests and giveaways, says Asialicious, with more restaurants to be announced soon.

“亚洲美味”活动主办方表示，他们仍在联系更多商家参与，促销活动将从招牌餐扩大到美食竞赛和赠品，不久还将公布参与活动的更多家餐厅。
