“今天晚上吃什么呀？”“水煮虾。”“哦，太好了。”我高兴地喊道。我最爱吃虾子，因为虾仁嚼在嘴里软软的、嫩嫩的，味道十分鲜美。
”What will you have tonight？” “Boiled shrimps。” “Oh， great。” I cried happily。 I like shrimp the most， because shrimp chews in the mouth soft， tender tender， the taste is very delicious。
妈妈先把煮虾子的佐料放进锅里烧了起来。再看水池里的虾子，青色的、透明的，有的竟能看见背上那条黑线。一只只悠闲地游着，它们根本不知道将要发生什么。水开了，妈妈把虾子捞出来倒进锅里，只听“嗤啦”一声，刚才还是青色的虾子一眨眼就变成红红的了。奇怪，难道虾子也像孙悟空一样会七十二变吗？我用筷子夹着虾子端详着，整只虾子只有肚子是白色的，这是怎么回事？我一定要查个水落石出。
Mother first put the seasoning of shrimp into the pot and set it on fire。 Then look at the shrimp in the pool。 They are blue and transparent。 Some of them can see the black line on their back。 One swims leisurely， they don’t know what will happen。 When the water boiled， my mother fished out the shrimps and poured them into the pot。 She only heard the sound of “hiss”。 The blue shrimps just turned red in a blink of an eye。 It’s strange。 Can shrimps change like monkey king？ I use chopsticks to hold the shrimp and look at it。 The whole shrimp only has a white belly。 What’s the matter？ I must find out。
饭后，我上网查到虾子由青变红的秘密了。原来虾子的外壳是青绿色的.，放进锅里后，色素遇到高温后大部分都分解掉了。只有虾子体内的虾红素不怕高温，不会分解，反而会显现出鲜艳的红色。所以煮熟的虾子就变得更鲜红了。
After dinner， I found the secret of shrimp turning from green to red on the Internet。 It turns out that the shell of shrimp is green。 When it is put into the pot， most of the pigment will decompose when it encounters high temperature。 Only the astaxanthin in the body of shrimp is not afraid of high temperature and will not decompose， but will show a bright red color。 So the cooked shrimp becomes more bright red。
“总算弄明白了。”我情不自禁地说：“原来熟螃蟹穿上红外套和虾子是一样的道理”。“生活中有很多奥秘，只要你留心观察，就能发现它们”妈妈语重心长地说。妈妈的话很有道理，我在心中暗暗想到，以后我要仔细、认真地观察身边的一草一木的变化，从中获得出人意料的结果。
”At last I understand。” I can’t help but say， “it turns out that it’s the same thing for a cooked crab to wear an infrared cover as for a shrimp。”。 “There are many mysteries in life， you can find them as long as you pay attention to them，” said mother。 Mother’s words are very reasonable。 I secretly thought in my heart that I would carefully and carefully observe the changes of plants and trees around me in the future， and get unexpected results。
