冰糖是砂糖的结晶再制品，
由于其结晶如冰状，
故名冰糖。
Rock candy
或者sugar candy (英式英语),
也可以说成rock sugar
Rock sugar (or rock candy) is refined, crystalized sugar in small cubes or in irregular lumps. Lightly transparent, its colour can be white or light yellow. Compare to regular sugar, it has a milder taste, that is to say, it's less sweet.
Rock sugar(或rock candy)是精制的结晶糖，小块或不规则块。微透明，颜色可为白色或淡黄色。与普通的糖相比，它的味道更温和，也就是说，它没那么甜。
In Chinese cuisine, rock sugar is commonly used in both savoury and sweet dishes. It s often called for in making braised dishes (i.e. Red cooked pork belly) to give meat a shiny glaze. You will also find rock sugar in Chinese dessert recipes, such as Birds nest with rock sugar (冰糖燕窝) and Pear with rock sugar (冰糖雪梨). In Northern China, a popular street snack called Bingtang Hulu (冰糖葫芦, literal translation: rock sugar bottle gourd) is also made with rock sugar.
在中国菜中，冰糖通常用于开胃菜和甜食。在做炖菜(即红烧五花肉)时，人们通常会用它来给肉上色。你还会在中国找到冰糖甜点食谱,比如冰糖燕窝，和冰糖雪梨。在中国北方,一个受欢迎的街头小吃叫做冰糖葫芦也用到了冰糖。
红色在表示颜色的时候，一般是说"血色";
红糖是棕褐色的糖，并不是红颜色的，所以绝不应该是red sugar, 而是brown sugar.
Tanghulu — Candied Fruit on A Stick
（串在棍子上的糖制水果）
The original Tanghulu is made of hawthorns /'hɔːθɔːn/. Rich in vitamin C, hawthorns have long been known to have medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine and, initially, tanghulu were used to cure illness.
传统的糖葫芦是用山楂做的。由于山楂富含维生素C，在传统中药中具有药用价值，所以糖葫芦最早被用来治疗疾病。
Instead of hawthorn, strawberry Tanghulu is now more popular. However, other fruits like grapes, blueberries, apples, and even pineapples can work as well.
现在草莓取代了山楂，成为了更受欢迎的糖葫芦。然而，其他水果，如葡萄、蓝莓、苹果，甚至菠萝也能起到同样的作用。
Originally, the Chinese term this candied delight as Bing Tanghulu. Bing is Chinese for ice. It was aptly /'æptli/ named as the dessert was eaten only in the Winter, to avoid a sticky mess when it melted in the sun.
最初，它的中文全称是冰糖葫芦。Bing在中文里是冰的意思。它的名字很贴切，因为这种甜点只在冬天吃，为了避免温度高时糖会在阳光下融化变得黏糊糊。
Tanghulu is made of wild fruits strung together on bamboo sticks. The fruit is dipped in maltose, which quickly hardens, and it tastes both sweet and sour. It’s a very common snack in Northern China in winter.
糖葫芦用竹签把食物串在一起。然后用麦芽糖包裹这些食物，糖很快变硬，尝起来就会又甜又酸。它是中国北方冬天很常见的小吃。
