姐妹城市：印第安纳科科莫和浙江东阳IAAT Staff Writer/Reporter Echo Lu (呂曉煒)

科科莫位于印第安纳州的霍华德县，是印第安纳的第13大城市。科科莫是印第安纳科科莫大都市统计区的主要城市，该统计区涵盖了霍华德县和迪普顿县。根据2010年人

口普查，科科莫的人口为四万五千四百六十八人。2012

年1月，科科莫成功兼并了城市西面和南面七个多平方英里（18平方公里）的区域，包括奥拓高地和印第安高地，使得城市的人口增加到了近5.7万人。科科莫是由当地的印第安原住民“科

科莫酋长”的名字命名的。在南北战争之前，它与印第安纳波利斯接壤，同时通过铁路与东面的城市相连，造就了城市的经济可持续增加。大量天然气储量的发现使得城市在19世纪80年代特别繁荣。刚刚起步的汽车工业受到了这股热潮的吸引。随后，科科莫的技术和工程产业蓬勃发展，尤其是汽车产业。于是，当时的科科莫被称为“拥有各种第一的城市”。

科科莫的就业很大程度上依赖于制造业。在2008年12月，福布斯将科科莫列为“衰落得最快的美国城市”第三名，主要是因为汽车行业遭受的财物困难。2011年5月，科科莫又上了福布斯排行榜，不过这次是“最好就业的城市”，排名上升了177位。2011年6月，Conexus发布了一份报

告，吹捧科科莫在衰退之后“反弹迅速”，并预测随着汽车生产量的增加将造成2%的收入增长。截至2013年5月份的数据统计显示，

科科莫的失业率为9%，非农业就业人数下降了1.4%。这比全美7.6%的失业率要高。这份报告还显示，在过去的12个月中，制造业的就业率下降了6.9%。而政府部门的就业率则比上一年下降了18.7%。在地球的另一端，科科莫有一座姐妹城

市——浙江东阳。东阳是浙江省的中心城市，也是长江三角洲经济区的一部分。2013年1月14日那一周，科科莫和东

阳经协商达成建立正式国际友好关系的协议。科科莫市长格雷格·古德耐先生说，这一友好关系将使两个社区受益。签署协议10个月后，科科莫代表团在

2013年10月15日至10月30日之间访问了中国，进一步推进了两个社区之间在商

Kokomo is the county seat of Howard County, Indiana. It is Indiana’s 13th largest city. Kokomo is the principal city of the Kokomo, Indiana Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Howard and Tipton counties.

Kokomo’s population was 45,468 at the 2010 census. On January 1, 2012, Kokomo successfully annexed more than seven square miles (18km2) on the south and west sides of the city, including Alto and Indian Heights, increasing the city’s population to nearly 57,000 people.

Kokomo is named for the Native American Ma-Ko-Ko-Mo who was called “Chief Kokomo”. Before the Civil War, it was connected with Indianapolis and then the Eastern cities by railroad, which resulted in sustained growth of the city’s economics. The discovery of large natural gas reserves produced a boom in the mid-1880s. Among the business which the boom attracted was the fledgling automobile industry. A significant number of technical and engineering innovations were developed in Kokomo, particularly in automobile production, and, as a result, Kokomo became known as the “City of

Firsts.” Kokomo’s employment is largely based in

manufacturing. In December 2008, Kokomo was ranked third by Forbes in America’s fastest dying towns, mainly as a result of the financial difficulties of the automotive industry.

In May 2011, Forces listed Kokomo again but this time as one of the “Best Cities for Jobs” after the city ascended 177 places in the rankings.

In June 2011, Conexus released a report touting Kokomo’s “rapid bounce” after the recession, and predicted a rise in income of more than 2%, assuming increased automobile production.

By May 2013 Kokomo’s unemployment rate was 9%, representing a 1.4% decrease in non-farm employment. It was higher than the national rate of 7.6%. The May 2013 statistics reported a 6.9% decline in manufacturing jobs over the previous 12 months. Government employment was 18.7% below the previous year.

Kokomo has a sister city on the other side of the world. City of Dongyang, a city in the center of Zhejiang Province, it is part of the Yangtze

业，教育以及文化交流方面的战略伙伴关系。东阳位于杭州以南

约2 0 0公里处。占地1744.05平方公里，管理着11个乡镇，一个县，和六个街道。东阳最早建立于公元

195年，当年被称为武宁。公元688年，武宁变更为东阳，意为“东方的太阳”。东阳坐落着众多的建

筑公司，其中最主要的一个是中天公司。东阳还生产磁铁，化学品，塑料，服装，农产品和木雕。20世纪70年代的改革

开放政策加速了东阳的经济增长。东阳是中国百强城市之一。2005年，全市生产总值达到159.84亿人民币，创汇13.8亿人民币的财政收入。东阳拥有广泛的工业领域，以电子，机

械制造，磁性材料生产，医疗，化工等行业为主导。东阳市目前已成为中国最大的磁性材料生产和出口基地。

当地著名的传统是“童子蛋”。每年初春的时候收集10岁以下的男孩的尿液并用来煮鸡蛋，煮熟的鸡蛋用来进行出售和食用。2008年，东阳将“童子蛋”列入“地方非物质文化遗产”名单。

浙江东阳：东阳特色沃面

面条是我国最常见的主食之一，有名的如北京炸酱面、上海阳春面、杭州片儿川、武汉热干面、四川担担面、山西刀削面、兰州的拉拉面、广东云吞面等等。但是东阳特色沃面究竟是什么面呢？

朴素之美     东阳沃面最初只是当地的老百姓把吃剩下的菜、汤、回锅再利用，然后加入番薯淀粉制成糊面，特点是易消化吸收，又营养丰富，后来经过不断改良，成为了现如今的大众化面食小吃。     貌不惊人的东阳面自成特色，因为加入了番薯淀粉制成糊面，而有吃起来“糊答答”的感觉，过舌难忘，在当地很受欢迎，成了一道独有的特色面食小吃。

一碗面十种料     人们用“一碗面，十种料”来形容东阳沃面的特色。东阳沃面使用青菜、木耳、肉丝、河虾、肚丝、蛋丝等配料，其中最关键的配料就是最关键的也就猪肚、河虾。虽然技法不同，口感也有差异，但

这是当地人所喜爱的美味。     东阳沃面的美食意义，自是在审味之外，也有着一种普世真理——无论多么高贵与卑微，在漫长的时光岁月里，是人总有悲欢离合，生老病死。所以言味，不必独尊燕窝鱼翅者，以东阳沃面之法以烩之，同样是大家心目中的一道美食。
