“魚翅”英語怎么說
名詞解釋:所謂魚翅(shark fin),就是鯊魚鰭中的細絲狀軟骨,是用鯊魚的鰭加工而成的一種海產(chǎn)珍品。你知道怎么用英語表達嗎?
For more than a decade, shark fin soup has been served in any meal intending to highlight the host's wealth, resulting in the consumption of hundreds of millions of shark fins.
Up to 73 million sharks are killed each year for their fins.
One third of the world's nearly 500 shark species are facing extinction.
However, the shark fin market has been hit by a drastic market downturn recently. Precise figures are difficult to come by, but industry estimates the market has shrunk by between 50 and 70 percent.
十多年以來,魚翅湯流行于以展現(xiàn)主人財富為目的的任何一餐之中,而這導致了億萬件魚翅的消耗。
為了獲得魚翅,人類每年會殺掉7300萬條鯊魚。
在全世界將近500個鯊魚品種中,有三分之一正瀕臨滅絕。
然而,最近魚翅生意遭受了市場衰退的沉重打擊。雖然很難獲得精確的數(shù)據(jù),但據(jù)行業(yè)內(nèi)分析,市場萎縮了50%至70%。
【講解】
文中的“shark fin”是鯊魚翅的意思,即為人們常說的“魚翅”,其中fin意為“鰭,魚翅”,人類割掉魚鰭之后將鯊魚扔回海里,鯊魚會因為溺水或者流血過多而死。
另外,文中face extinction意為“瀕臨滅絕”,其中extinction意為“消亡,絕種”,如mass extinction(大量消亡),in danger of extinction(面臨滅絕的危險)。
小編在此呼吁——保護鯊魚,請拒絕魚翅!
