燕窝,说得通俗点儿就是“燕子的唾液”。由于它具有滋阴养肺、润肤养颜的功效,被许多人奉若珍宝。燕窝之所以名贵,不仅因为其营养价值高,更由于其“难得”。采燕窝的人有句行话:“用命博燕窝”。因为金丝燕一般把巢筑在悬崖绝壁上的洞穴里,所以采窝人要在悬崖上搭起简易竹梯,攀援而上,不少人手还没有够到燕子洞便命丧黄泉。 Bird’s nest, put it mildly is “swallow’s saliva.” Because it has yin yang lungs, soothing beauty effect, many people serve as treasure. The reason why bird’s nest is so expensive is not only because of its high nutritional value, but also because of its “rare”. People who adopt bird’s nest have a jargon: “Life Bo bird’s nest.” Because swiftlets generally build their nests in caves on cliffs, they should take simple bamboo ladders on the cliffs to climb up. Many people have not enough to swallow them.
