おはようございます。KANOです。今回はこちらの記事から。
7種のパイが食べられるお店の紹介記事。
甘い物食べたい時って、生クリームかチョコレートで満足したくなるんですが、パイ生地って食べごたえあるから少量で満足できるかな。
province
意味 [U][one’s [the] ～]（学問· 活動などの） 専門 [得意] 分野; （職務の） 範囲 (area)
Pies were once the province of diners: If you went into one a dozen years ago, you would have probably seen a vertical rotating glass case right by the front door aligned with pies and cakes. In those days, dessert after dinner was a given, and in a diner, that dessert was probably pie.

この単語、この前やっと「州」って意味を覚えたんですけどw
seductive
意味 うっとりするような; 魅力的な, 人を引きつける.
Most places offer two or three types, though they are no longer seductively displayed in cases. Apple seemed to be the universal favorite, since it would inevitably be sold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream at an additional charge.

entombment
意味 [U][C]埋葬; 埋没.
Well, these pies were not the greatest in the world — few can survive long entombment in the refrigerator — but they were edible, and some were definitely more edible than others. Here are the pies, in order of preference. All slices of pie were $5.50.

グルメ記事なのにこんな単語見かけるとはw
tombが墓、なのは覚えていたので「en（中に入る感じ？）」から類推できた気もするなあ。
abuse
意味 [U][C][通例修飾語を伴って]（性的な） 虐待; （権利の） 侵害
Apple pie: I have found this pie to be the best bet in nearly any diner. The apples survive any abuse and remain firm, whereas other fruits semi-liquify. Also, the bland apples exalt a mediocre crust, which can become almost cakey in texture.

この単語もね…でもりんごが刻まれて煮詰められてって工程は確かに虐待よねw
reek
意味 〈物· 場所などが〉＜…の＞ 強烈な悪臭がする ＜of, with＞
Cherry pie: Cherry pie reeks of seasonality, even though the filling is doubtlessly shaken from a can with corn starch a principal ingredient. This makes the filling wobbly in an engaging sort of way, and the cherries retain a tartness, in spite of everything. And, hey, isn’t cherry the prettiest pie?

全体的に不穏な単語が多いのは筆者の口癖なのかなw
bouffant
意味 [C]ブッファン ((女性の) 髪型の一種; 逆毛を立て全体をふっくらとさせる).
Banana cream pie: If anything has suffered the most in the decline of the diner pie, it is the icebox variety. Once they stood proud with their white bouffant of what was often Miracle Whip. And it wasn’t unusual for a diner to have banana cream, coconut cream, lemon meringue, chocolate, key lime, peanut butter, and others. Now, the pies are rarely offered, and the actual filling shrunk to almost nothing, though the few slices of banana inside bravely soldier on.

これが1番美味しそうだなー。どう料理してもバナナって美味しいよ。
recede
意味 〈音· 物などが〉＜…へ＞ 去っていく, 遠のく, 消えゆく ＜into＞
Pecan pie: This broken-down slice of pie finds the pecans mushy and receding into the corn syrup filling, and, even worse, the pie tastes slightly of orange rind, which is not what one expects in a slice of pecan pie.
