Food became a big problem a

9、s we were not able to feedeveryone. Now the worlds population is forecast to continue growing andmay hit 11 billion by 2100. So in a world where nearly 1 billion people alreadydo not have enough food, can we really feed another 6 billion?養(yǎng)活全世界養(yǎng)活全世界過去60 年，世界人口增長了三倍，從1950 年的25 億增長到70 多億。糧食問題已經成為一個大問題，

10、因為我們一直沒辦法養(yǎng)活所有人。據預測，目前世界人口正持續(xù)增長，到2100 年，人口數(shù)量將達到110 億。所以在世界范圍內，已經有近10億人口沒有足夠的口糧，我們能否真的再養(yǎng)活60 億人口呢？Feeding the World 譯譯文文Changing DietsPopulation growth is not the only reason for food shortages. Our diet is also to blame for it. Nowadays, with increasing numbers of people living in cities, we tend to e

12、 vegetarian. But who would make this change? Would you give up meat to feed others?改變飲食改變飲食人口增長并不是造成糧食短缺的唯一原因。我們的飲食（習慣）也難辭其咎?，F(xiàn)在，越來越多的人居住在城市，人們吃肉越來越多。為了生產肉類，我們必須用更多的土地和水，以種植喂養(yǎng)動物的糧食。加工肉類也要消耗更多的能源。結果是，我們使用了更多的土地和資源，卻生產出了更少的食物。如果每個人都變成素食者，我們就能輕松養(yǎng)活不斷增長的人口。但誰愿意作出這種改變呢？你愿意放棄吃肉來養(yǎng)活別人嗎？Feeding the World 譯譯文文G

57、聽上去再正常不過了。對于他們來說，食物僅僅是功能性的，是繁忙的一天中必可不少的一部分。然而，很多食物也是有意義的而且意義深遠。現(xiàn)在，就讓我們一起來看看大千世界中一些食物的意義。WealthJiaozi are traditionally eaten at a family dinner on the eve of Chinese New Year. It symbolises wealth and prosperity for the coming year. A popular New Years meal in Italy is cotechino con lenticchie (gree

58、n lentils with sausage). The shape of the lentils and the fact that they grow in water symbolises wealth. In Germany, Poland and Scandinavia, its believed that eating herring at midnight will ensure a year of wealth.Foods with Meaning譯譯文文財富財富在中國，除夕年夜飯吃餃子是一個重要的傳統(tǒng)。它象征了來年的財富和繁榮。扁豆配香腸是意大利深受歡迎的新年食物。扁豆形狀細

59、長，又生長在水中，故而象征著財富。在德國、波蘭和斯堪的納維亞地區(qū)，人們認為午夜吃青魚能確保一整年都很富有。ProgressIn some countries, including Cuba, Spain, Portugal, Hungary and Austria, pigs symbolise progress. Its not limited to pork, even biscuits and cakes shaped like a pig are thought to be symbols of progress.Foods with Meaning譯譯文文進步進步在包括古巴、西班牙、

60、葡萄牙、匈牙利和奧地利在內的一些國家，豬象征著進步.（這一象征）并不僅限于豬肉，甚至是豬形狀的餅干和蛋糕都被視為是進步的象征。LuckIn Greece, people eat a round cake called vasilopitta, which is made with a coin baked inside.
