5. Reuben Kulakofsky Or Arnold Reuben
5.罗宾·卡拉库弗斯基还是阿诺德·罗宾？
Most people agree that a Reuben sandwich includes rye bread, corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut—but who was Reuben? There are two common claims.
众所周知，罗宾三明治是由黑麦面包、腌制牛肉、瑞士芝士和德国腌酸菜组合而成的。但是，有个问题我们始终不明白，到底谁是罗宾呢？对此，主要有两种说法。
One claim is that Reuben was Reuben Kulakofsky (or Kolakofsky), a grocer from Omaha, Nebraska. Apparently, he devised the sandwich for late-night poker players at the Blackstone Hotel. That claim seems unlikely, since Kulakofsky was Jewish and it wouldn't be kosher to mix beef and cheese, but maybe it was a joke?
第一种说法是，罗宾这个名字来自罗宾·卡拉库弗斯基(Reuben Kulakofsky)。罗宾是内布拉斯加州奥哈马市的一个杂货店主，他发明这种三明治是为了给在黑石头酒店里的玩夜场扑克牌的玩家提供宵夜。然而，这个说法看起来并不那么可信。因为卡拉库弗斯基是犹太教徒，但将牛肉和芝士搭配在一起不符合犹太教的教规。因此，这看起来更像是个笑话。
The second common claim is that the Reuben sandwich originated at the now-defunct Reuben's (or Reuben's Restaurant), a deli in New York City named after its founder, Arnold Reuben. In fact, that claim has several variations. The most common one says that actress Anna Seelos came into the deli after her nightly performance. She asked for a sandwich and got one with rye bread, baked Virginia ham, roast turkey, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Reuben's special Russian dressing. That version was known as the “Reuben Special,” and the Reuben sandwich was a variation that came later.
第二个常见的说法是罗宾三明治源于一个现在已经不存在的餐厅“罗宾家”(Roben's)，这是一家由创始人安诺德·罗宾的名字命名的熟食店。这个故事被人们演绎出了好几个不同的版本。最有名的一个版本是这样的：有一天晚上，在结束夜场的演出以后，女演员安娜·泽洛斯走进了这家熟食店，她要了一个特别的三明治，这里面有黑麦面包、烤维吉尼亚火腿、烤火鸡肉、瑞士芝士、凉拌卷心菜以及罗宾家特制的俄罗斯沙拉酱。而这个三明治也就是后来广为人知的“罗宾家特供”。罗宾三明治则是随后诞生的一个三明治种类。
Unfortunately, there are no known reliable records to establish which claim is true.
遗憾的是，现在也没有确凿的证据证明到底哪个说法才是真的。
