    Outside Britain, most people meet the name in one place only: Worcestershire sauce, the thin dark brown sauce first made there in the 1830s, used a few drops at a time in soups, in meat dishes, and in a Bloody Mary. In Taiwan you will see the same kind of sauce on shelves as 伍斯特醬 or, in its local form, 烏醋-like sauces, though these are not the same thing.

    Outside Britain在英國以外, most people meet the name in one place only大部分人只在一個地方遇到這個名字: Worcestershire sauceWorcestershire sauce伍斯特醬, the thin dark brown sauce first made there in the 1830s一種1830年代最早在那裡做出來的稀薄深褐色醬汁, used a few drops at a time in soups每次只用個幾滴加在湯裡, in meat dishes肉類料理裡, and和 in a Bloody MaryBloody Mary血腥瑪莉裡。In Taiwan在台灣 you will see the same kind of sauce on shelves as 伍斯特醬你會在架上看到同一類醬料被叫做伍斯特醬 or, in its local form, 烏醋-like sauces或者是它在地化的版本、類似烏醋的醬料, though these are not the same thing不過這些其實不是同一樣東西。

    Again the sound is the whole lesson. It is said "WUSS-ter-sher" or, more casually, "WUSS-ter-sher" almost to "WUSS-ter-shuh" — three beats, not four or five.

    Again這個字, the sound is the whole lesson發音才是整堂課的重點。It is said "WUSS-ter-sher"念法是『WUSS-ter-sher』 or, more casually, "WUSS-ter-sher" shortened almost to "WUSS-ter-shuh"或者更隨性一點把它縮短成幾乎是『WUSS-ter-shuh』 — three beats, not four or five三個音節不是四個或五個。Native speakers themselves joke about how hard the name is to say連母語人士自己都拿這個名字很難念這件事開玩笑, and而 many just say "Worcester sauce"很多人乾脆說『Worcester sauce』, dropping the -shire in speech口語裡把-shire省略掉 while還是 still writing it in full on the bottle瓶子上會完整寫出來。
