- 但『龍虎鬥』又是什麼呢？有人說是蛇和貓，是廣東的貴重菜，非大宴會不吃的。但我在江蘇飯館的菜單上就見過這名目，江蘇人似乎不吃蛇和貓，恐怕就如誰所說，是蛙和鱔魚了。 [MSC, trad.]

- I must have them eating 'Dragon and Tiger.' But what is that exactly? Some people say it's made of snakes and cats, and is an upper-class Cantonese dish, only eaten at big feasts. I've seen the name on the menu in a Kiangsu restaurant; still, Kiangsu people aren't supposed to eat snakes or cats, so it must be made, as someone else said, of frogs and eels.
但『龙虎斗』又是什么呢？有人说是蛇和猫，是广东的贵重菜，非大宴会不吃的。但我在江苏饭馆的菜单上就见过这名目，江苏人似乎不吃蛇和猫，恐怕就如谁所说，是蛙和鳝鱼了。 [MSC, simp.]
