    来一筒!
    The ivory towers of ice cream
    冰淇淋象牙塔
    Jan 12th 2013 | ANZOLA DELL’EMILIA | from the print edition
    It drips, but who cares?
    滴到身上啦!谁在乎呢?
    WHAT is the most popular thing in the world? Music, guessed Donald Trump.
No, replied his interviewer, Ali G; it is ice cream. The problem, however, is
that ice cream drips. The solution, said the British comedian, is to sell “ice
cream gloves” to stop people’s hands getting sticky. The Donald somehow kept a
straight face.
    世界上什么最受欢迎?是音乐，唐纳德·特朗普猜道。不，是冰淇淋，采访他的Ali
G回应道。问题是冰淇淋会滴水。这个英国喜剧演员要出售“冰淇淋手套”，防止人们把自己的手弄得粘糊糊的。不知怎的唐纳德却一直绷着脸。
    Carpigiani, an Italian firm that makes ice-cream machines, has a better
business plan. Eschewing gloves, it is going into education. Its home market is
saturated. Italy already boasts 37,000 artisanal gelato makers. Since there are
only so many scoops of bacio one nation can eat, exports are now 80% of
Carpigiani’s business. Alas, most foreigners have no idea how to make a proper
gelato. So Carpigiani has set up Gelato University to teach them.
    一家从事冰淇淋机器制作的意大利公司Carpigian有个更好的计划。该公司并没有生产手套，不而是投入教学。它的国内市场已经饱和，意大利现在拥有三万七千家冰淇淋手工作坊。一个国家可以吃掉大量的芭淇冰淇淋，现在出口占了Carpigiani公司业务的八成。哎!大部分外国人做不出可口的冰淇淋，所以Carpigiani已经成了冰淇淋大学来培训他们。
    In well-lit classrooms and shiny kitchens in Anzola dell’Emilia, near
Bologna, where Carpigiani has its factory, students from Russia, Belgium,
Colombia, Morocco, Japan, Britain and Turkey are learning the secrets of
selecting the perfect ingredients and freezing them. Lawrence Fama, a retired
chemical engineer, hopes to set up an ice-cream shop in his home city of San
Francisco. Corrado Barberis, an Italian economist, aims to take the real deal to
Lille in northern France.
