In order to taste a bite of pizza, those food chemicals, or tastants, must dissolve in saliva so they can diffuse through those taste pores, and bind to receptors on those gustatory cells, and then trigger an action potential.

为了品尝一口披萨饼，这些食物化学物质或味道剂，必须溶解在唾液中，这样它们才能通过这些味觉毛孔扩散，并与味觉细胞上的受体结合，然后触发动作电位。

Every gustatory cell projects a thread-like protrusion of the cellular membrane called a gustatory hair, which runs down to a taste pore, a small hole in the stratified squamous epithelium covering the taste bud and the rest of the tongue.

每个味觉细胞在细胞膜上投射出一个叫做味觉毛的线状突起，向下延伸到味觉孔，味觉孔是覆盖味蕾和舌头其余部分的分层鳞状上皮上的一个小洞。
