Slim-Fast 罐头饮品可能遭污染 全面回收【 Slim-Fast canned drinks being recalled amid contamination fears 】
更新日期:2009/12/07 11:00 引用来源:中央社制编
原文:All Slim-Fast ready-to-drink canned products in the United States are being recalled because of possible contamination with Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that may cause diarrhea and possibly nausea or vomiting.
翻译:Slim-Fast立即可饮罐头产品因为可能遭到仙人掌杆菌污染,正在美国进行全面回收。仙人掌杆菌会使人腹泻,并可能导致恶心或呕吐的现象。
字辞解析:
*ready-to-drink(形容词)
现成可以饮用的;
也就是不需要加热或冲泡的。Slim-Fast顾名思义,是以能够让人减重瘦身为诉求。Slim是「苗条的」。
*contamination(名词)
污染;
例句:Acid rain is responsible for the destruction of forests and the contamination of rivers.(酸雨是森林遭到破坏、河流遭到污染的元凶。)
动词是to contaminate。
*bacterium(名词)
细菌;
这个字常出现的形态是bacteria,这是复数。一些以-um结尾的英文单字,在变成复数时,是把um改为a,例如medium(媒介)的复数是 media,forum(论坛)的复数是fora,但用forums也行。
