何以解忧？唯有杜康

以酒喻情，道出中国酒文化中“借酒消愁”的精神内核。

In Chinese culture alcohol holds a special place

Legend has it that it was invented by Du Kang , a king from the Xia dynasty

He accidentally discovered that fermented grain could produce a delicious drink

which is what we now call alcohol

Because of this , he is honored as the “God of Wine ”

There's a saying

“How to relieve worries ？Only Du Kang ”

and over time his name became another word for alcohol

Chinese people love to use alcohol to express their feelings

When drinking, they can speak freely ， let out their troubles

and it also brings people closer together

-legend 传说；传奇人物，偶像

常见搭配

-ferment 使（发酵）；（使）酝酿、动荡

例句：a.Grapes are left to ferment into wine.（葡萄被留下来发酵成葡萄酒。）

b.Ideas for the project had been fermenting in his mind for months.（这个项目的构思在他脑海里酝酿了好几个月。）
