“油条”的英语翻译deep-fried breadstick，deep-fried dough sticks

bca

早上咱们吃的“油条”，怎么翻译成英语呢？
■■《现代汉英综合大辞典》翻译“油条”是：deep-fried dough sticks.
■■“油条”的英语翻译，网友还有这个译法，deep-fried breadstick， 其实这个也很地道。
■■至于有人把食品的“油条”翻译成“oiled bar”， 这个怎么看，都是地道的中国式英语chinglish，是网友胡编的，我想，英美的英语母语者，怎么也难明白，到底是什么东西了。

■■当然，油条，老油条，还可能指的是人，“这个人老油条了”，希望说的不是你吧。
