英语词汇tempura的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	tempura
词源	tempura. In Japanese cookery tempura is seafood or vegeta- bles dipped in batter and deep-fried. The word, however, is of Portuguese, not Japanese, origin. On Ember Days, which the Portuguese called by the Latin name Quatuor Tempora, “the four times of the year,” most people in Portugal eschewed meat and ate deep-fried shrimp or other seafood, which came to be called tempura after the holy days. By the early 1540s Portu- guese sailors had introduced tempura to Japan.
