硝 (xiāo): saltpeter, to tan (leather)

电影中硝烟弥漫的中东城镇、戒备森严的检查站、广袤的戈壁荒漠，都在宁夏取景。

The film’s scenes of smoke-filled Middle Eastern towns, heavily guarded checkpoints, and the vast Gobi Desert were all shot in Ningxia.

不过，别担心，焯水可以降低蔬菜中的亚硝酸盐含量。

However, don't worry—blanching can reduce the nitrite content in vegetables.

从餐馆内景到硝烟弥漫的城镇街道，大银幕上的“中东”，在这些棚里一寸一寸“长”出来。

From restaurant interiors to smoke-filled town streets, the “Middle East” on the big screen is “built” inch by inch in these soundstages.

亚硝酸盐会不会超标？

yà xiāo suān yán huì bù huì chāo biāo ?

Will the nitrite levels exceed the limit?

恰恰相反，常温放置变质的水果亚硝酸盐才会成倍上升。

On the contrary, it is when fruit is left at room temperature and begins to spoil that nitrite levels rise exponentially.
