In China, when people are eating food with lots of peppers like in Sichuanese cuisine, they may describe the food in English as "very hot". Although this is correct, in English, the word "hot" has two definitions when it comes to food: having a very high temperature or being very pungent and peppery. Because of this, when people use the word "hot" to describe food, there is often confusion as to whether the food's temperature is high and will burn your mouth, or if the food is very peppery and cause your eyes to water. To avoid this confusion, English speakers will often use the word "spicy" instead of "hot" to describe food that has a lot of peppers in its recipe. It is often safe to assume that when "hot" is being used, people are referring to temperature first and taste second -- not the other way around as Chinglish speakers often assume.
在中国，放了许多辣椒的菜肴，比如川菜，在英语中被描述为“very hot”。虽然没错，可在英语中， “hot”这个词一旦用于描述食物时，有两种意思：温度很高；辣。 因此，当人们用这个词来描述食物时，总是让人费解：到底是指食物的温度高很烫嘴，还是说食物很辣会让你流泪。为了避免误解，英语本族人用“spicy”这个词，而不用“hot”来描绘放了很多辣椒的菜肴。可以很有把握地说，人们用“hot”的时候，首先是指温度，其次才是味觉——和中国人说英语时想象得正好相反。
