今天,我们要来学的是“速冻食品”的英文表达。
首先,我们来看一下《中国日报》的报道:
BEIJING - A new draft, released by the Ministry of Health in September, allowing the existence of staphylococcus aureus - a currently prohibited bacterium - in frozen food, has attracted wide attention, especially given that four major manufacturers of frozen food in the country have been accused of producing bacteria-contaminated food in the past two months.
在报道中,frozen food指的就是“速冻食品、冷冻食品”。frozen在这里的意思是“冷冻的、冷藏的”,例如:He gave his name to a well-known brand of frozen food.(他以自己的名字命名的冷冻食品成了。)frozen的动词是freeze,意思是“(使)结冰”,例如:A freezer freezes water solid.(冰箱能使水结成固体。)freeze也可以表示“冻结(资金、银行账户等)”,比如freeze assets(冻结资产)。当然,速冻食品也可以表达为quick-frozen snacks。
速冻食品的优势是之一在于低温下微生物(microorganism)不宜繁殖。之前三全、思念、湾仔码头等速冻食品都被查出金黄色葡萄球菌(golden staph)超标,但是根据新国标(new national standard),在抽检(spot check)时运行限量检出这种细菌。我们常见的速冻食品有速冻水饺(quick-frozen dumplings)、速冻馄饨(quick-frozen wonton)、速冻汤圆(quick-frozen glue pudding)等等。
