The housewives of New England cut their apples in even slices. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organized way, row upon row. As one writer said, the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it generally is believed that the expression apple-pie order began in New England.
新英格兰州的家庭主妇把苹果切成均匀的片,然后整齐的,一排一排的摆满平底锅。正如一位作家所说,新英格兰州的妇女喜欢将一切事情弄得井然有序。这也许可以解释为什么人们认为apple pie order这个短语起源于新英格兰州。
