以下を日本語訳してくださいWe think of chocolate as something sweet. However, a long time ago, people thought of chocolate as something very bitter. For us, chocolate is a candy, but once it was a medicine.

Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers. Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. Cacao beans taste so bitter that even monkeys say “ugh!” and run away. The word chocolate comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico.

When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the 16th century, they started drinking cacao, too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. When the Spaniards took the drink back to Europe, people discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. Wealthy Spaniards heated the sweet drink and thought that it was good for their health. In the 19th century, an English company made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.
