我觉得noodle和pasta指的是不同的东西。英语的noodle从德语来,是个泛称,据说形状不一,原料各异,我感觉主要还是指长条状的“面条”。Pasta和一堆通心粉一样是意大利货,也千奇百怪,干的湿的都有,我也说不好。最方便的办法是到Google Image (http://images.google.com) 分别搜这两个词比较一下,就大概明白差别了。

“功夫熊猫”里肥波的爹开的是noodle restaurant,想来编剧不会因为是个动画片就在这样的地方故作“孩子气”。

Wikipedia颇可参考:
Noodle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noodle
Pasta: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasta
注意"types of noodles by primary ingredient"里列了不少咱们出口到英语里的音译词,还在概述里特意提到有历史记载的最早的noodles出现在我国东汉,照此也可以判断,在中华大地上说noodle,那是无可厚非的了。

退一步讲,"Chinese noodles"肯定不会有人挑刺了:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_noodles。里面的"Chinese noodle types"也是琳琅满目啊。

某些指正也未必正确。
